Frostbyte: you're crazy - repository count is now 15 :)
I just accepted your transfer requests - thanks for converting those projects from svn. You've been added to the OgreAddons developer group, which means that you can create repositories/transfer directly to OgreAddons.

Good thing about OgreAddons is that the most active repositories floats to the top. ;)

I will probably add Spacegaier and Stealth977 (the rest of the Ogitor team :P ) to OgreAddons, but it is not a closed team, so if you want to join, ask.
You should put the link in the first post :)

Frostbyte: you're crazy
thanks for the comp :lol:
first time i open a bitbucket account...i guess i got carried away( in a good sense ) discovering how stuff actually work....bitbucket is so cool 8)
thanks for granting me free access...just dont make me responsible for anything.... :wink:

EDIT: mmm...does this mean i need to check this account for transfer requests?....can't promise to do it every day/week...
mmm...i just did import and transfer...now i see that i'm considered to be maintainer of this repos...thats not gonna happen....
but maybe i don't yet understand how this bitbucket works...you dont expect me to activly maintain this repos( merge branches and stuff ), right?
btw: if i delete repos transfered from my account, will it affect repos here, or are they "standalone" repos by now?

but i have promises to keep

Don't worry about being a maintainer - we all know what that means. ;)
You should be notified of any transfer requests, etc. but the entire OgreAddons team gets those.
No need to feel obliged.
The whole point of OgreAddons is that the upkeep is up to whoever happens to keep it up. :)

A repository transfer is a move.
Nothing prevents you from forking and changing the repository url - it's distributed. Each and every copy is effectively a clone/branch.

jacmoe, i think it would be advisable to edit first post to reflect the current situation so people would'nt think its another one of this fruitless endless discussions...link, short description( purpose of repo etc... ) and repo transfer contribiution request
happy editing :)

Sincerely,
FrostByte: interGalactic unobliged public relations co-manager and official vice presedent substitute of the OgreAddons developer group.

Re: OgreAddons Resurrect

Post by frostbyte »

was thinking of adding also empty repos with link( and maybe some showoff images ) to actively maintained repos that are on other versioning sites...
already went over all github/bitbucket 'ogre' related projects and cherry-picked...

also i think that if anyone want to start a new community project this should be a good place...
lots of projects turned zombies for luck of attention, this repo can potentially make sure it won't happen again...
also it would be good if a new user just steps in and feel like in an open source candy store... ( good PR for ogre )

on the other hand, i see the need to give special focus attention and care to this half dead projects( as the topic suggests )...
opinon?

I honestly think that the Ogre Wiki would the perfect place for curated pages of links :)

sorry, i'm a noob on git...( and in no mood of learning right now... )
https://github.com/c6burns/PagedGeometry
be nice if you can push/merge it in a new branch...
and even nicer if you post the git command for doing this... :)

edit: also found this http://code.google.com/p/ogre-angelscript/ but i dont know anything about angle script...

That PagedGeometry fork of mine is a bit of a trainwreck ... I ripped through it as fast as possible just to see it work in 2.0 and some parts I just poked around to experiment. I was in the middle of testing just the features I use and decided to switch back to 1.10 for now. My GLES2 updates are in there, but probably the only interesting thing to look at is ImpostorTexture::renderTextures where I generate the impostor atlas using a 2.0 workspacedef

Oh yeah and that's a butchered up CMake script too. You'd want to replace that with something that uses FindOGRE.cmake instead of my shitty hardcoded paths :lol:

You can't merge a git repository into a mercurial repository, but thanks for pointing me to it, as I might merge it manually :)

The ogre-angelscript repository is known to me as I am the owner. ;)
Not fit to be shared as we have a much better Ogre/Angelscript integration example in Ogitor and Rigs of Rods.

<edit>Oh, hi cf6burns - if you need anything in PagedTerrain then just open a ticket :)

Hello :D

The thing about PagedGeometry in 2.0 is that a large portion of it will be unnecessary. The important feature will really be just the impostoring. I'm working on some non-rendering stuff right now while I wait to see how the new 2.0 stuff plays out, so maybe I'll come back to it. I'd push my updates for Hydrax in but I ripped that library to shreds while customizing it for my project :( This is a common theme for me ... I'm like Edward Scissorhands. I should have kept a cleaner version so at least I could easily add in the GLES2 support I made. Ugh

@Frostbyte: If you want to preserve history when you import from SVN, you need to convert it locally, using this command:

Code: Select all

hg convert svn-url converted-repo
You need to enable the 'convert' extension first.
<edit>That Ogremhx project really doesn't have much history, to be honest.. so don't bother reimporting that.

@c6burns: the most useful part of pagedgeometry is imo the vegetation / tree generation/rendering, the paged bit has been obsolete for a while :)

I have done a fair amount of research & testing with converting SVN->Hg. I would not use the standard hg convert tool, but instead use hgSubversion plugin which now ships as standard with TortoiseHg. If its enabled you just clone as normal but as the URL address you put "svn+YOUR_SVN_REPO_ADDRESS"

Good to know :)
It doesn't ship with Mercurial, but TortoiseHg bundles it, fyi.

Re: OgreAddons Resurrect

A couple more projects added to OgreAddons :)

Another scenario for using OgreAddons is when you create a small project to try out something in Ogre, and it doesn't pan out, but still could be useful to someone else, then you can just transfer the repository.
Like when testing a scripting engine with Ogre, a new terrain renderer, embedding Ogre into a windowing toolkit, implementing a new scenemanager, etc.
It can also be larger snippets, not only complete projects.
