Newton 2.0x Archemedia Open Beta

@rvangaal: it would be better if you stored the Newton DLL's CRC/MD5/<Insert Other Method Here> in the header, that way you can check to see if the DLL is the same or not without relying on a version number being updated. This method wouldn't work if your linking directly to the Lib ofcorce.

I'm statically linking indeed. For a DLL's CRC, wouldn't I have to load & calculate that everytime I run? Seems a bit costly, and you never know where Windows loads DLL's these days (I never understood WinSxS completely; often you cannot put DLL's in the apps directory anymore, but for home-built DLL's it seems fine). Well, that's a different discussion; I statically link so use the .h method. But indeed, it's good to point at that this won't work with a DLL; you will need to call a DLL version function (NewtonVersion() exists? not sure) and compare it. Just take care that Julio often forget to update the minor version number (hint ).

You would need to calculate it every time your app runs but calculating a CRC for one file won't cause a noticeable pause in your application. When you calculate a CRC you need to load the file like a normal file and shove its contents in a buffer, then send the buffer to code which works out the CRC. You can put practically any DLL in an applications directory and it will use it over the one in the system folder(At least when it comes to applications built using Delphi).

I rvangal is right, the solution is to update the Get Revision function, that's my bad.

[Julio Jerez]

I posted version 2.24 for all platform before I swith GUI.

[Carli]

try the linux64 link.

[Julio Jerez]

Upps the name was wrong it is OK now.
Please try again.

Greetings!

As i suppose,

Code: Select all

_ASSERTE(0);


will always throw an exception, am i right?

[Julio Jerez]

yes,
I do that to remind myself of code that is incompleted
I like that assert because as opposet to eh standrd assert, _ASSERTE (0) is non destructive

[shybovycha]

nevertheless, none of all demos you've provided can't run... to tell the truth, they start, but throw some access violation error and fail... when i commented those assertions, demos seemed runnable but anyhow failed... i just can't write my article on CC and trimesh/heighfield.... =(

[ledahut]

Try version 2.16. Demos will works.

[shybovycha]

trying version 2.13 =)

Julio, i wanna tell you 'bout my idea on demos: it would be just great if you make 'em separated and independent (just a lot of applications, using OGL and few other third-parties; not StadnardApplication or something like that). This way will make sources more readable and re-usable =)

[Julio Jerez]

That is a good idea. I am wroking in remeking teh demo to replace wxWidget this week. and Coolldat is alredy gone.

In a way the demos will be more independed now since they will load scenes tha are already made.
The Original demo will remind for refrence, but the demos will aheb a command that will expoist eh scene to a .xml or .new file
and Any application will be able to load it usien teh Archive file format.

Could you please provide 2.26 in Windows x64?

[Julio Jerez]

Ok this weekend, maybe friday.
