BTW: Which app is it?

I am working on something via applets focused for ordinary people too. This app is about watching house plans, doing a virtual walkthrough, and making them able to change dinamicly the floors, wall, and ceiling textures to get and aproximation of the final cost of the construction project. Its a Thesis project but the 3d part is delayed until finishing all the  documentation and the web page to admin that.

Is your app something similar??

mm I was thinking on this:


for each iteration the client sends an array with the events id to the server (As actually does)

the server takes that information and moves the craft inside the server World (As actually does)


But instead of sending the fixed position, rotation matrix of all the crafts, and upgrading that into the client. I will let the cliente to do the movement for about 6 or 8 iterations, and each 8 or 6 iterations I will send the fixed position and rotation Ms of all the player (Aas actually does). If not cheating then it should be no difference for the player, the position and direction will be changed only if cheating. Anyway an aimbot can always be implemented.

Is the collisionMode keeped inside the world when serializing it?

Each tima a new player gets it, I send all the World from the server to the specified client. But I do not know if those objects inside that world will have the same collisionMode set on them.

I am adding it to the new created bullet. I have a method on the Disparo class


public void setBulletListener (BulletListener BL) {
       bala.addCollisionListener(BL);
}


here I am adding the collition listener to the new created Bullet called "bala", bala is a global Bullet var inside the Disparo class.


Here on the ManejadorDisparos class, when I add a shot to the shot list I have:

public void addDisparo (SimpleVector pos, SimpleVector dir, int tipoBala, World mundo, Camera cam) {

Bullet bala=null;
if (tipoBala==Bullet.BULLET_BALA1) {
bala=new Bullet (bala1);
}
if (tipoBala==Bullet.BULLET_BALA2) {
bala=new Bullet (bala2);
}
if (tipoBala==Bullet.BULLET_MISIL1) {
bala=new Bullet (misil1);
}
if (tipoBala==Bullet.BULLET_MISIL2) {
bala=new Bullet (misil2);
}//CREATE THE BULLET
System.out.println ("Disparo AGREGADO EN POS: "+pos+" - DIR: "+dir);
Disparo D=new Disparo (pos, dir, SoundManager, bala, mundo, cam);
                          //SHOT CREATED WITH THE NEW BULLET
D.setBulletListener (ManejadorColisionesBalas);
                          //COLLISIONLISTENER ADDED TO THE NEW SHOT
disparos.add (D);
}


May it be due to my Bullet class is a subclass of Object3D and maybe is losing the capacity of firing events? I am just guessing!

 

The problem about not being shot from the camera center was a problem when modeling the bullet. It was moved a bit from the center. Anyway rotating it the PI/2 over the Y axis was helpfull too. Now the bullets are being fired correctly.

Now my problem is that they doesnt fire any collision event. I added a collisionListener to the bullets but they does not fires the event. I have used the collision listener before when moving the crafts on the server but when shooting the bullets on the client they dont.

Basicly.

When I create the bullet I add the colissionlistener, the bullet and the map has CHECK_SELF | CHECK_OTHERS as the collision mode. I am calling the checkforcollision and checkforcollisionelipsoid methods and they doesnt fire any event. The project is posted at:

Egon, can you please replace the one in the download section with this new one, is still not finished but it is closest to be finished. And please can any one help me with the collisionListening on the bullets?

About the code: Well, I have this classes:

 - BulletThread (Thread for moving the bullets and detecting the collisions)
 - ManejadorDisparos ("ShotManager"--> add the bullets to the List of bullets to be moved, moves the loist of bullets, creates the predefined bullet types to be used in the game)
 - Disparo ("Shoot"--> Is the shot class, it has the position, direction, speed, and the bullet. Has the methods to move the bullet it has)
 - Bullet (Is an inherited class from Object3d that has the damage, type, sounds to play)

The code and var names are in Spanish and the code is a kind of messy but any help would be very appreciated. Actually the shots are being fired with the control key or the space key. They are being shoot from a class called ManejadorEventos an the end of the method EventosJuego.

Thanks, that should solve the problem about the bullet orientation. But I am still having the problem that when setting the position of the bullet on the camera position , it is placed near but not in the exact place.

You dont have to apply the textures to the objects manually and merginh them doesnt mean using the same texture. If the 3ds file has the information about the textures to use, u just have to add the textures to the texture manager and they will be loaded on the model automatically.

dont build the object until adding it to the world.
