- The new classes in libmisc.tgz define a stream interface into zlib.
I've put these in a new directory, Lib/Misc. Feel free to rename it
to something more appropriate. However you'll have to change the
include directives in all the other files. Additionally you'll have
add the library to Lib/Makefile.am and Simulator/Main/Makefile.am.
The StopWatch class in Lib/Misc requires a HAVE_GETRUSAGE autoconf
test so I've included the required changes in config.tgz.
There are a fair few changes to Simulator/Objects as I've moved
things around. Loading tiles is quicker but thats not where the delay
is. Tile loading takes a few tenths of a second per file on a P200
but it seems to be the post-processing that leads to a noticeable
blip in framerate. I suppose its time to start profiling to see where
the delays are.
I've included a brief description of each archives contents.
Lib/Misc/
zfstream.cxx
zfstream.hxx
C++ stream interface into zlib.
Taken from zlib-1.1.3/contrib/iostream/.
Minor mods for STL compatibility.
There's no copyright associated with these so I assume they're
covered by zlib's.
fgstream.cxx
fgstream.hxx
FlightGear input stream using gz_ifstream. Tries to open the
given filename. If that fails then filename is examined and a
".gz" suffix is removed or appended and that file is opened.
stopwatch.hxx
A simple timer for benchmarking. Not used in production code.
Taken from the Blitz++ project. Covered by GPL.
strutils.cxx
strutils.hxx
Some simple string manipulation routines.
Simulator/Airports/
Load airports database using fgstream.
Changed fgAIRPORTS to use set<> instead of map<>.
Added bool fgAIRPORTS::search() as a neater way doing the lookup.
Returns true if found.
Simulator/Astro/
Modified fgStarsInit() to load stars database using fgstream.
Simulator/Objects/
Modified fgObjLoad() to use fgstream.
Modified fgMATERIAL_MGR::load_lib() to use fgstream.
Many changes to fgMATERIAL.
Some changes to fgFRAGMENT but I forget what!
Eliminated libtool use.
Added options to specify initial position and orientation.
Changed default fov to 55 degrees.
Added command line option to start in paused or unpaused state.
states.
Better checking for xmesa/fx 3dfx fullscreen/window support for deciding
whether or not to build in the feature.
Translucent menu support.
HAVE_AUDIO_SUPPORT -> ENABLE_AUDIO_SUPPORT
Use fork() / wait() for playing mp3 init music in background under unix.
Changed default tile diameter to 5.
Mesa/3dfx/glide.
Added a basic splash screen. Restructured the main loop and top level
initialization routines to do this.
Hacked in some support for playing a startup mp3 sound file while rest
of sim initializes. Currently only works in Unix using the mpg123 player.
Waits for the mpg123 player to finish before initializing internal
sound drivers.
Shuffled some additional view parameters into the fgVIEW class.
Changed tile-radius to tile-diameter because it is a much better
name.
Added a WORLD_TO_EYE transformation to views.cxx. This allows us
to transform world space to eye space for view frustum culling.
