RigidShape class in TGEA

by Ivan Mandzhukov · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 11/18/2007 (4:53 am) · 4 replies

OK, first of all i noticed, that RigidShape is missing in TGEA 1.0.3, but it seems to work quite well in TGE 1.4.2, also integrated in TGE 1.5

I compiled TGEA with the corrections above:
using DirectX SDK 11.2007 and Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK.

TGEA compiled without errors/warnings, but
-the size of the engine is 4 times larger now, also very slow FPS
-it seems that there are some errors in runtime compiling shaders now(using fog for example, i put that shaderdata in comment to work properly)
-also RigidShapeData isn't working at all

suggestions ?

Maybe its a debug build? They will be significantly slower.

Yeh we've had this issue before, if you use older directx sdk's it has fixed this kind of issue before although I am using November 07 with no problems..

Probably something wrong with the way you integrated it then ^^

The size raises because GG does upx the executable for the download, your compiler does not do that. So it will be larger.

OK,thanks.

I used Brian Richardson'resource:

There is a difference in renderImage call.
Anyway .. shading problem - fixed.
I tried to inderstand the code (rigidShape.cc and rigidShape.h) and search for the corrections.

I think only Brian can help here.:)

All problems FIXED.

It looks like renderImage call needs only one parameter, just removed '*image' handle pointer, RigidShape now rocks in TGEA 1.0.3

this is the right correction:

void RigidShape::renderImage(SceneState *state, SceneRenderImage *image)
{
Parent::renderImage(state); // problem was here
