Thanks... But I think we've solved this problem now... Compiling the Cal source in other SO (Slack) and copying it's libs into the knoppix /usr/ lib worked fine...

But, thanks anyway...

Hello!

I'm experiencing some problems while trying to compile CS in a Knoppix distribution (in fact, I'll remaster the dist's live CD to open my app as X goes up...). The main problem here is that we've already tried compiling and/or dlownloading cal3d lib but none of theses trys succeded, as CS configure script didn't find the lib.

Anybody has already tried something like that and could help me in this issue??

Thanks in advance.

System Specs:
Linux Knoppix 4.0
CS pseudo-stable September-3rd
CEL same date

We've tried:
- Cal3d 0.10 stable download (Source)
- Cal3d CVS snapshot of last october, I think (Source)
- Cal3d 0.10 from apt-get repositories (last stable) (Binaries)
- Cal3d 0.11a2c () from apt-get repositories (testing/unstable) (Binaries)

Hello;

I tried to install some Intel's specific driver in my Fedora Core 3 machine but, since then, I only get this message and a waaaaaay to slow rendering....

bfd@halflife:~/erd$ ./erd
Estrada Real Digital v0.04
  Indirect rendering may indicate a flawed OpenGL setup if you run on a local
  X server.

I'm trying to get bacj to my previous driver but I'm not having any success... Any ideas?

My sys:

bfd@halflife:~/erd$ uname -a
Linux halflife 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 #1 Fri Oct 21 03:46:55 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

You can also try the special variable $*

Well, smoothness in camera movement is related to acceleration and not with constant speed. So, you can make a code that increases and decreases speed over time...

If you achieve that, please post it in here, ok? I'm was looking for something like that but I didn't have time to make this.

Regards!

Hello!

I'm researching about this specific method and I'm willing to know: Which are the possible actions?

2) Can I use the iPcLinearMovement property class to make a mesh (a NPC) move with CD and gravity?

Thanks in advance

Well;

Probably is that the value of the pointer 'levelmeshes' is not set when you try to acess it from outside the function.

1) Is 'levelmeshes' an attribute of a class or just a variable?
    If yes, try to initialize it in your class's constructor function.
2) If not, try to add this code before using the 'levelmeshes' for the first time in any block:

Code:

if (!levelmeshes)
   \\ initialize 'levelmeshes'

\\ uses 'levelmeshes'

I hope this helped.

Regards

[Note:]

well that's one of my problems. I can't find a configure file to excecute it, anywhere in the directory generated from createproject.sh . Should I create it myself?

Did you run the createproject.sh script right? It creates a directory with all base files for a project build, including the configure script. This is my directory created by createproject.sh:


bfd@halflife:~/csApp/erd/erd-v0.01$ ls
AppErd.cfg  config.h.in    configure     Jamfile.in  map  msvc    src       vfs.cfg
autogen.sh  config-msvc.h  configure.ac  Jamrules    mk   README 

Note: Erd is my project name supplied in the script's query "Short Project Name".

And what about jam itself? I guess I should run jam from /simple not from /simple/src

Yes... After configuring the build, just type jam in the top-level dir of your project.

Regards...

Hello!

I must animate my NPC's to walk in the scenario with a pre-defined (or dinamically defined) path. I have a propertie iPcLinearMove, but this makes the mesh just to fly around. I want to make my NPCs to walk facing the right direction with CD and gravity.

I've researched a little and I found a few possible ways:
1) I saw a method in the iPcMesh property class, called Move(iSector*, csVector3), that I think it works just like the csColliderActor::Move(csVector3).

2) CEL haves a iPcNPCMove property class but it is not implemented.

3) Use the iPcLinearMove with the right parameters (in last case only).

Which one do you guys think its the easiest/faster way to implement this? Maybe other suggestions?

Regards!

[Note:]

Well;

If your simple.cpp have the main function implemented, just erase all files generated by createproject.sh and put your source file in the place, and type jam in the previous directory. (Don't forget to run ./configure before...).

If not, edit the main.cpp file to look like something like this:

Code:

#include "simple.h"
#include <csutil/sysfunc.h> // Provides csPrintf()

CS_IMPLEMENT_APPLICATION

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
csPrintf ("Simple App\n");

return csApplicationRunner<Simple>::Run (argc, argv);
}

Note: You may change some names to fit your code's.

Compile it all and test... This shall work...

Regards

Yes... I know... hehe

Hello;

I'm trying to migrate my code from CS+CEL pseudo stable September 3rd to January 27th version. There's no errors in the compiling process, but I've had several problems when running the app.

1) My mouselook made in CEL (thanks to muffinpeddler's code) isn't working anymore
2) The skybox is missing.
3) The CS Reporter made a LOT of warnings, must of them saying something about OPCODE adn degenerate faces (things that never happened in previous versions).

Any help?
I use Linux FC3.

Best Regards
P.S. I've posted this here because my problems affect CEL too...

Hello!

I've already answered Escorter's e-mail about this, but I will leave here the answer too. In our project's current version (v0.03), we still use the September 3rd pseudo stable. We'll update for the January 27th version soon...

Regards

 

Hello guys;

I'm using this 'pièce' of code to enable running in my app:

Code:

.
.
.
else if (msg_id == id_pccommandinput_run1)
pcactormove->Run(true);
else if (msg_id == id_pccommandinput_run0)
pcactormove->Run(false);
.
.
.

I've bind "shift" for running.

The problem is: when you stop (i.e. release 'shift' and the movement key at the same time) while running, the player keeps moving in the same direction that it was moving before stopping with no keys pressed, although without running. I've tried adding some boolean variables to try to control the run; tried to disable movement when the run key is released too, both without success. I've just tried binding other key for running (here, 'z' key) and it worked fine. Why shouldn't the shift key work well?

Thanks in advance...

P.S. Offtopic -> We're soon going to release a little preview of our project. We're thinking in release a source package (only if the user have CS and CEL compiled it will work) and a windows binary (with all pre-compiled dlls). News soon...

P.S. 2 -> I'm using CS and CEL PseudoStable-09-03 in Linux.

Well, sad to hear that... But is there any way to play a video through CS? Or I would have to make a call to a player (example, call mplayer)?

In fact, in pseudo-stable september-3rd it still have the structures to video playing (iVideoStream, and etcs...)

Thanks and Regards
