Beta version of 1.13 available!
« on: January 24, 2007, 11:17:13 pm »
This time, i'll start with a beta version instead of releasing a final version, because i made some changes that affect some internals and i'm not 100% sure that i got everything right in the end. So here you go:

http://www.jpct.net/download/beta/jpctapi.zip

This is the same version that i referenced to in two other threads. By posting it here, i hope to broaden the audience...

Changes so far are:

Quote
1.13 - Fixed a bug in the new Light class in the util-package. Added support for anti aliasing (2x and 4x) to the hardware renderer. Fixed a stupidity in FrameBuffer. Worked around a problem in the KeyMapper that caused an infinite loop when creating the Keyboard under some circumstances. Added a synchronization object for similar purposes to FrameBuffer. Added support for post processing of the framebuffer as well as an implementation that offers a bloom effect (kind of pseudo-hdr) for the OpenGL renderers. Added support for "render to texture" for all renderers. With this, it's possible to redirect the render into a texture instead of the actual framebuffer. Removed support for the legacy mode for OpenGL. Changed a framebuffer's default mode to software/opengl-alike instead of legacy. This is another step into the direction of dropping legacy support completly in the future. Changed RGB-Scale setting in the OpenGL renderers. Added support for Wavefront's OBJ-format to Loader. The framebuffer's alpha value is no longer 0 but 255 when using the software renderer. In addition, you can enable a framebuffer that supports alpha values for the software renderer by setting Config.useFramebufferWithAlpha to true. Fixed a bug in the per-pixel-fog of the software renderer when combined with oversampling.

Awesome, thanks a lot for your hard work, Egon. I really appreciate it, pal, as I'm sure do a lot of people.

Now for a request: GenericVertexController.getUpdatedMesh(), which would return the destination mesh with all current modifications, even if it would be slow. Sometimes I want to write my own collision-detection code, and that method would be priceless.

one difference i've noticed is this, colors changed for transparent objects. sun glasses in karga is an example. the sunglasses which were blue/gray was almost petroleum green now

:shock: Oops! Yes, you are right. I can verify this problem. I'll have a look...

For all of you with a little more adventure spirit, here's a beta of the beta which reduces memory footprint for Object3Ds: http://www.jpct.net/download/beta/jpctapi2.zip

This was ten days ago, so am i save to say that you haven't encountered any anomalies then? At least i haven't.
I just wanted to be sure before releasing this version as stable.

I am not entirely sure which version I am using :o.

I really MUST try this bloom effect! I want to "bind" a light to a torch object3D,
and see if it looks anything like fire.
Im not sure if that is one of it's uses, but I am interested in how it turns out;)

Sorry, I know this not what you asked.

I've had no problems with it whatsoever. Except with that method you made for me (or else it's my code, but it doesn't look like it to me). It doesn't seem to update the vertices, because the collision isn't happening on time. But, by all means, update the package with the new lwjgl and put it up.

Could be that it doesn't do what you expect it to do because i was never really sure what that was... ;) What it currently does, is to update the data IN the vertex controller with the data FROM the actual mesh. Is that what it's supposed to do?

I hate to sound clueless, but I've been assuming the vertex data is given in world space. Is that what it does? Would testing vertex for vertex whether it's inside another mesh work (however slow)? What I hoped the VertexController did was first of all to give me world-space vertices, then for the updateMeshData() method to update those vertices including any translations that may have been applied to the model. Now I'm confused. Are we on the same page?  :-) Again, thanks for all your hard work, Egon.
