Ogre 1.0.3 Beta available for testing

Post by **Fred** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 3:28 pm

Hi folks,

As promized, we have updated the PB OGRE engine to use the lastest stable build available (1.0.3). The main advantage is the possible use of the lastest .mesh format and all availables tools to imports any meshes in a PB program. Also the overall stability seems much more improved and some long standing bugs (relating to particles emitters, mesh animation etc.) have been squashed. Except of this, there is a few drawback:

- LoadWord() (ie BSP support) doesn't work anymore as DX7 renderer doesn't support the 32 bits hardware vertex buffers (only 16 bits limited)
- SetEntityMesh() doesn't work (shouldn't be a problem, an entity can be easily recreated)
- The size of the dll is much bigger, due to the numberous adds to OGRE than PB currently doesn't exploit for now (and also the stlport.dll is needed, all other dependencies have been removed (devil, zlib, etc.)).

Also the SetMeshData() command has changed and the accepted data has to be organized in a different order than before (look in the MeshManual.pb file for a quick explaination).

This new version won't be part of the v3.94 release, but we made it public to allow a more up-to-date 3D support. The archive can be download here: www.purebasic.com/beta/Ogre1.0.3.zip

For a list of tools useable with this version, take a look here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfil ... e_id=54011 or on the official OGRE site at www.ogre3d.org

Have fun,

The PureBasic Team

Sorry, RuntimeError with the Source MeshManual.pb.

@Fred: I replaced the old 3DEngine with your beta and tried your included example and I get 2 diffrent errors with it:

1. With enabled debugger - Log-windows displays "Waiting for executebale to start" and nothing happens.

2. Without debugger - I get a Visual C++ Runtime Error

I have the latest Purebasic beta installed.

@Fred: Perhaps some Purebasic-Libraries are missing in your Zip?

Exact the same here:

Runtime Error!

Thank you to test it. Can you tell me the C++ error content ? BTW, with the last beta, the debugger must be turned off for all 3D programs (on some other too as the debugger itself is not working properly). Anout the purelibraries, i don't have changed them. May be you're using an userlib which internally use SetMeshData() ?

BTW, could you tests with the examples codes to see if it at least work with them (World.pb won't work as said previously).

I have no debugger enabled, i have all userlibs deleted, it's the same, also for world.pb

Same here, none of the Examples work.

Ho, you will need the new versions of the mesh + skeletons. I have put my whole data dir here: www.purebasic.com/beta/OgreData.zip . There is also a nice little turtle

. To see which animation is available in a mesh, the OgreMeshViewer tool is a must have. Also, the name of the animation is case-sensitive.

No Luck, it`s not working. Same error.
