dotscene lights and dynamic objects

putujici_jack · Post by **putujici_jack** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 7:32 pm

Hi,
I'd really like tu use the .scene format to desribe my world. I thinks it's great thing and it seems to perfectly suit my needs.

Unfortunately I've got troubles with running demo using dotscene octree from add-ons - there are no lights (but ambient), no dynamic objects at all, no shadows. Other objects are displayed correctly with loaded textures. Also, when I set SetOctreeVisible( 1 ), there is no geometry at all.

So, I have few questions:
I wonder if that is problem with the doctree scene manager or the manager is really capable of those missing things and the fault is somewhere else?
How could I solve this problem?
Are there any binary demos showing the doctree in action?
Is there a binary version of the dotscene viewer and some compiled scenes so I could try out?

Thanks for any advise.
PJ

Try DSI and DotSceneViewer. You can find them in OgreAddons/dotscene.

Note that you don't have to use the DotSceneManager in order to use .scene.

Well, I've just VC++6 so I can't try to check it quickly (even with project convertor from VC7, it takes some time to set up and compile), so I', not sure what the DS interfece is - could I use DSI insted (or with) dotSceneManager?

You can use DSI instead of the dotSceneManager in order to load & setup scenes. The 'baked octree' stuff will be ignored in this case (which is OK unless you're using the dotSceneManager precompilation feature).

I have the same problem and take a look at the DotSceneManager and Demo_DotScene. In the DotSceneManager you can see that the dynamik object and lights will not load. This was done in the Demo_DotScene before but is commented out. So the Demo_DotScene doesn't load it any more.

I just tried compiling the DSI and DotSceneViewer projects that are located in the DotSceneFormat folder, and I'm getting many errors during compilation. Are these projects compatible with Ogre 0.15.2?

More specifically, the compiler is coming across types it cant resolve, such as DataStreamPtr, OGRE_AUTO_MUTEX, etc. I'm also not finding these types defined, I'm searching the doxygen api reference on the site and searching through the source for both versions 0.15.2 and 0.15. Anyone have any clues?

Hi, I'd just like to say I'm also having these compilation issues, are they because dotscene has been updated to be compatible with the current pre1.0 CVS version of Ogre?

Yeah, those methods are new to Ogre cvs.

So is better if we wait until ogre 1.0 became stable.. how long will it take before we can get it ?

Somebody has to create a patch. I doubt that the core team will handle that

Are these projects [DSI] compatible with Ogre 0.15.2?

After having taken a quick glance at DSI, I think, it's compatible to the HEAD revision but not to the Hastur maintenance branch, i.e. 0.15.x.

So either wait for 1.0 or get the HEAD revision from CVS.

PS: The "old" DotSceneViewer should still have worked, I think. Then again, it has been removed for a reason.
