I can't get a version of Newton that has raycast vehicles

[lulzfish]

I'm trying to use the simple raycast vehicle as explained in the Wiki:
http://www.newtondynamics.com/wiki/inde ... ateVehicle

Unfortunately I get "not declared in this scope" because the vehicle functions are either missing from the header or commented out, and the library does not seem to have them anyway.

I've tried the following versions:

2.19 from the Arch Linux repos
2.33 from the download page
SVN 321 which is supposed to be a recent stable version
The latest SVN which I believe was 498 or something.

Are raycast vehicles still supported? Should I use something else?

I think I will try just making the tires bodies and see if it works, but I thought at high speeds a raycast would work better.

Hmm since newton 2.xx raycast and multibody vehicle are commented out, because they need to be redeveloped!

:S

Then why is it in the wiki?

I guess I'll have to do some research on raycast vehicles and write my own? Or see whether the cylinders will work well enough as tires...

The interface of multibody car has changed a lot and moved to joint library. Existing documentation was kept as few years ago people still used 1.53 which had only the multibody joint.

joint library.

Well, I've only got the NGD library installed.

I hope this won't become some kind of "hunt down all the pieces and assemble them" task. Is it easy to build the joint library from SVN? Or should I go forward with just attaching cylinders and boxes together by hand to make cars?

[JernejL]

it should be all in svn.
