Jamming problems with cal3d

[f4bo]

I'd these errors while jam-ming CS pseudo-stable on ubuntu dapper (6.0.6):

therefore I need to know if it is something that could be ignored or have to be fixed in some way and how.
the cal3d library is the last stable (0.11.0) and maked without errors by me.

I don't think anything over cal3d 0.9 works with the january release right? It seems like nothing indicates which win32 libs is for which source package. I believe the last version prior to july works? Thats kind of a guess.

Had this exact same error. Here is the post: http://community.crystalspace3d.org/forum/index.php/topic,1299.0.html

Basically, there is a bug in crystal space code, and a file needs a patch. My post links to that patch.

Or, you can just download the file I'm posting, and place it in $CRYSTAL/plugins/mesh/sprcal3d/object/

A purist might say that this isn't a bug in crystal space, but rather the implementation of cal3d changed. However, I say that since the instructions are to download the latest cal3d, rather than a specifc cal3d, the fact that crystal space aims at a moving target and misses, crystal space still misses it's target. If they didn't want to aim at a moving target, they should have specified which version to download, or offer a working version on this site.

Anyway, replace this file, and it should work. Oh yeah, and it works with cal3d revision 420 (I think 425 too). If you use a newer version, I doubt you'll have any problems, but no gaurantees from me. It is, after all, a moving target.

Stupid computer!! *angry*

Here's the patch. And you have to remove the .txt from the end. This forum doesn't let you post .cpp files.

thank you for the patch WK I'll try it in my next build - strange as it seems even with the errors mentioned above, all the CS tests seems to work fine so I'm a little confused about what feature of CS this could affect.

I strongly feel the same as you - the solution is indeed to flank to each CS source distribution the sources known to work with that CS release as for the mandatory as for a set of the suggested packages (ode,cal3d etc...)

Ignoring cal3d plugins won't effect anything if you never load that file format. It is an alternate format for animated mesh files, the other main format for animation sprite3d will still work.

good to know that bookeater - thank you!
