NewtonCollisionCollideContinue missing edge collisions

[pHySiQuE]

I created a new demo for you. This is using revision 1155 from the repository (the latest):
http://www.mediafire.com/?g35twbzv6cut2lb

Left mouse performs a convex cast. WASD keys move.

There is only one object in the scene now. I am using a convex hull modifier with a sphere, then scaling the modifier by the scale of the object it is cast against.

The problem is that the convex casting misses a lot of the time.

Ok, let me cove soem pendin bug and feature I am working now.
it will be a day or two. tehn remind me in thsi post again.

you are in core 300 aren't you?
It should neve fail.

[pHySiQuE]

This is core 200. I'll give 300 a try.

[pHySiQuE]

I am getting the following error with the 300 DLL:

The procedure entry point GetThreadID could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

Is it intended that Newton will only work on Windows Vista or later? I have Windows 8 on another hard drive, but even if I can run it myself, it is a big problem if it doesn't work on Windows XP.

[pHySiQuE]

Okay, I commented out this line of dgWorkerThread.cpp and recompiled:

Code: Select all

SetThreadName (GetThreadId(HANDLE (m_threadhandle)), name);

I used the 300 debug DLL, and now I hit a breakpoint at this line of dgNarrowPhaseCollision.cpp, at line 2085, in the function dgWorld::CollideContinue:

Code: Select all

_ASSERTE (0);

It looks like the whole function is just commented out. Am I doing something wrong?

[Julio Jerez]

I has no time to go over the CC on core 300.
the CC requires a part of the solve that goes with it, and I have no done yet.
like i said I am getting soem basic feature in before I get to that.

[pHySiQuE]

Okay, thank you.

[Julio Jerez]

In case my post came out wrong, I meant I do not have time now. I am spreding too thin now, and I have about 5 open SVN branches on my desktop.
of course I will go over it but that has to be afte I get the sopport part that goes in teh solver.
maybe a week form now, I can start on that.

Hi,

I have not checked the latest revision because I have to make changes to the source each time, but can you tell me if this has been fixed yet? Thanks.

[Julio Jerez]

you should not have to make any changes, what changes are those?

[pHySiQuE]

I had to comment out the DLL main function, but I found a macro I can define to get around that.

[pHySiQuE]

I'm afraid this does not seem to be functioning properly. Can you tell me if any work has been done on the convex casting before I go in and re-check all my code?

I am using the core200 library, BTW.

[pHySiQuE]

Trying to upgrade the project to use the 300 library. I include these files:

Code: Select all

#include "../../../NewtonDynamics/coreLibrary_300/source/newton/Newton.h"
#include "../../../NewtonDynamics/coreLibrary_300/source/core/dg.h"
#include "../../../NewtonDynamics/coreLibrary_300/source/newton/NewtonClass.h"
#include "../../../NewtonDynamics/coreLibrary_300/source/physics/dgPhysics.h"

And I just get a wall of text errors in Visual Studio. Am I missing a header file that has to be included? I am including the whole source in my project, not just a precompiled static lib.

[Julio Jerez]

I fixed a bunch of issues so that I can upload teh first alpha of core 300,
but for some reason Google source do not take the file.
you can sinc fo svn again and get the latest version fo should compile out of the box now.


each time I try to upload the file google gives me this error

403. That’s an error.
Your client does not have permission to get URL /upload/newton-dynamics from this server.

[pHySiQuE]

you cna sinc fo snv and get the laster version fo sodul compile out of the box now.

I don't understand this.

I tried including the static libs, and get these linking errors:

1>NewtonDynamicsBody.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__NewtonCompoundCollisionEndAddRemove referenced in function "public: virtual void __thiscall le3::NewtonDynamicsBody::Update(void)" (?Update@NewtonDynamicsBody@le3@@UAEXXZ)
1>NewtonDynamicsBody.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__NewtonCompoundCollisionAddSubCollision referenced in function "public: virtual void __thiscall le3::NewtonDynamicsBody::Update(void)" (?Update@NewtonDynamicsBody@le3@@UAEXXZ)

I don't know which header file to include. Right now I am just including "coreLibrary_300/source/newton/Newton.h".
