And include methods like static float calculateAngle(SimpleVector origin, SimpleVector p1, SimpleVector p2)? Until then, if somebody would tell me the code for that I'd be grateful! : -)

Does it return the number of subsequences in the animation, or does it return the number of frames? Because my MD2 file is supposed to have nearly (or exactly) 260 frames and 4 subsequences, and getSequenceCount() returns 16.0. How do I access the number of frames, and then how do I switch between subsequences? For that matter, how do I access the individual frame names?

I found out the location where most of the NullPointerException problems are happening: the method getChild(String) addressed as   XMLElement geometryElement = submesh.getChild("geometry");on private static OGREVertexBuffer loadGeometry(XMLElement) is returning null! Don't know how to fix it yet, but if you don't come back soon I may have to do it myself! : -(

Would you be kind enough to get a rigged model from me and send me an OgreXML file that works with your loader? PLEASE? I've tried everything, man. I got a Max 9 exporter, and it doesn't work with complex skeletons. I got a Maya Ogre binary exporter, then used the Ogre tools to get the XML and that didn't work. And I tried optimizing the meshes with OgreCommandLineTools. I used 5 different human models with similarly complex bone structures. All of them crash. PLEASE either convert one for me or send me a human model fully rigged that works with your loader.

By the way, just to clear things up: the exporters all work fine. What always crashes is your loader. And almost always it happens just after all the bones are read and as it's reading the very first mesh.

Or might I suggest a loadOgreXML(Object3D, InputStream, float)? That would help a lot in its own right.

I'm making a bow and arrow minigame for which I "modelled" a cylinder with a bone structure on 3dsmax 9 and exported to OgreXML for reading into Cyberkilla's Skeletal API. The cylinder is meant to represent the distorting string of the bow. I tried drawing a 2-D string on the bow, but try as I might I can't get the VertexController to be up-to-date on the bow's coordinates. If I could, that would be an obvious solution. Anyway, in the absence of the 2D string I'm using the boned cylinder. Problem is when I load the string into JPCT it looks completely distorted. If anyone can tell me why I'd appreciate it.

And if someone would kinder stil and make me the scene for exporting I'd be that much the more grateful!

Can anyone post a sample of a small program that uses Cyberkilla's Skeletal API? Specifically adding the bone with assigned joints. I imagine the process would involve creating a bone with two SimpleVertex instances, but I see nothing that remotely resembles such a method in the documentation. I realize this is not Egon's thing, but I would appreciate the help a whole lot. Thanks in advance.

How do I draw a line between two 3d coordinates?

I've implemented CollisionListener and, of course overridden void collision() and boolean requiresPolygonIDs(). I have called Object3D.addCollisionListener(listener) on both objects, and have made the code of the collision() method to be System.exit(0); to test if anything happens. But when the collision is supposed to happen, it doesn't, and the program goes on running. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
