a978a79d16 Melchior FRANZ:
- light class added (for lights and other pulsing/blinking objects)
- fixed and improved documentation
- all property args may be path strings or nodes
- existing nodes aren't overwritten any more
- better naming of class vars (for outside access)

Tested with the bo105 (which I fully ported to use aircraft.nas) and
the fokker70 (which are the only aircraft using the new classes  :-)

39c82918cd Melchior has already a nice collection of animation type nasal classes. These will be converted in a Nasal toolbox so everybody can use them without reinventing the wheel. 2005-03-29 11:26:49 +00:00

d0f032bf73 Melchior FRANZ:
Re-organisation: <diffuse>, <ambient>, <emission>, <specular> are
now groups with members <red>, <green>, <blue>, <factor>, <offset>,
and their <*-prop> forms. Additionally, there's an option <property-base>
that can be used to set a path that is prepended to all <*-prop> paths.
It defaults to an empty string. Rationale: see model-howto.html.

Changes:

o new skids (yet again)
o sun shield for the panel
o beautified exhausts
o new door handling:
  "d"      ... toggle selected door (default: pilot door)
  "D"      ... select next door (indicated with popup)
  "Ctrl-d" ... remove selected door if opened (all bo105 doors can easily
               get removed in RL; it is even flown without doors!)
o dropped shadow boxes (once necessary workaround for the disappearing
  shadow problem, and the reason why the bo105 was so tiny in fgrun)
o automatically selects the emblem of the national Red Cross/Red Crescent
  society on startup
o 5 variants, that can be switched at runtime, with different emblems,
  colors(!), and extra equipment:
  "c"      ... switch to next variant
  "C"      ... pop-up material dialog, as a demonstration of the new
               "material" animation, well ... and for entertainment
               purposes  :-)


The bo105 was and is a testbed for the "material" animation. It uses one to
change a texture at runtime. This has the advantage, that only the currently
selected texture uses up memory (unlike the textranslate method), and it
saves a lot of disk space because it doesn't duplicate all textures (unlike
the current <texture-path> method. You can change the texture in the browser:

  http://localhost:5501/sim/model/bo105/material/emblem/texture
  (choose one of: emblems/{red-cross,red-crescent-[lr],star-of-life}.rgb

(the built-in property browser doesn't grok it, because I used quite long
path names. Needs to be fixed in the GUI.)

I suggest to add the material.nas file to the global Nasal/ dir, not only
because the bo105 update expects it. The Nasal module creates a dialog for
material editing, which is quite useful for development purposes, for gaining
better understanding of the OpenGL color properties, and finally: it's fun.

   http://members.aon.at/mfranz/material.jpg  [45 kB]

The dialog needs to be initialized with a property dir where material
redirects are placed. It isn't available from the menu, but may be useful
for other aircraft. Also, it's quite small and doesn't get in the way.
If people want it removed, I can still move its contents into bo105.nas.
The bo keyboard binding says:

   material.showDialog("/sim/model/bo105/material/fuselage/", "Bo105");

This is documented on top of the *.nas file.

here is the promised material animation. It looks a bit longish, but that
wasn't avoidable -- there are simply too many parameters to consider. I tried
hard, though, to make the animation fast by only doing the necessary stuff.
It doesn't affect the frame rate here with my test model. The animation is
heavily based on Jim's "material-emission" animation.

* implementation of the "material" animation (this required to make the
  texture path available) + documentation update ($FG_ROOT/Docs/)
* fix some more return values (texture animations, and select) for the
  shadow problem (and some in anticipation of other problems  :-)
* fix compiler warning

I have done some cleanup where I moved some values out of classes where they
do not belong and such stuff.
Also the fols offsets are now named in the carrier xml file with a more
verbose name (flols-pos/offset-*) than before (only offset-*).
There is a little preparation for definitions of parking positions on the
carrier which should later be used for starting flightgear directly on the

I attach the long-promised improved version of the USS Nimitz.

It includes an improved version of the FLOLS, which requires the attached
diff to be applied to AICarrier.cxx and AICArrier.hxx.

I've made lots of eye-candy in the form or the flightdeck crew.
Unfortunately, it about doubles the size of the tarball. I'll send it to you
later; when I've figured out some way of only loading on request (any advice
would be very welcome).

I could provide a \u2018bare\u2019 version to cut down on the vertex count for
less capable systems however, the count isn\u2019t huge in the first place.
I've cut the textures down as far as I can without losing definition.

I just heard from John Wojnaroski that you and he are going to work on getting
a flightgear demo machine up for the linux expo thursday and Friday. John
indicated that he would very much like to get a CVS version with the new
traffic code up and running before the expo.

I have made the
'Select Airport from List' option in FlightGear work
(I think) properly. I have some concerns about the
solution, which could be broken by changes to plib (if
they re-use the value I have assigned to
PUCLASS_LIST), but for the moment it seems to work OK.

Erik Hofman:
A request has been sent to John Fay to include the puList
code in the puAux subdirectory of plib so expect some
changes for future version of FlightGear.

I hope Roy doesn't mind that I'm submitting his patch again. I only removed the
limits, because they didn't work in several aircraft. This allows you to do
unrealistic things like sticking your head out of a 747 cockpit, or "extreme"
things like leaving the aircraft, but that's no worse than being able to turn
the head several times in a row as in "The Exorcist".

* Roy Vegard Ovesen:
I've attached a patch to mice.xml that lets you move the camera/viewport with
the middle mouse button pressed in mouse view mode. Useful for looking at the
compass head on.
