This patch adds "elapsed time" support to the sound code.
It is now possible to define <internal>dt_play</internal> or
<internal>dt_stop</internal> instead of a propery in the <volume> and
<pitch> sections of the configuration file.
I changed the sound code to let it use FGCondition. This changes the
code and configuration files rather drastically. Furthermore I've added
an in-transit mode which plays the sound only when the tied property is
changing.
Changes:
Code:
* Added condition support to trigger an event
* Removed the <type> section from the main event definition
(this could be done using conditions)
* Removed the abillity to use several events with the same name,
instead it is required to use conditions.
* Updated the README.xmlsound
Base package:
* Changed the configuration files accordingly.
* Changed flaps and gear to use the new in-stransit mode.
* Changed the flps.wav file so it can be looped.
* Created a new gear.wav file (whcih can be looped)
and a gear-lck.wav file for gear locking sound.
IMPORTANT:
To change existing configuration files to the new ones, it is important
to pack events with the same name together into one singel event, using
the condition specification. Also, when using special types (inverted,
flip-flop, raise or fall) these should be changed to a conditions also.
For more information, please look at
FLightGear/docs-mini/README.xmlsound and the supplied aircraft
configuration files located under FlightGear/Aircraft (espesially
c172/c172-sound.xml and c310/c310-sound.xml).
1. Enable auto-configure on more versions of auto tools. (configure.in)
2. Warnings from auto-configure tools. (src/Time/Makefile.am)
3. Typo: "the it's" -> "its". (docs-mini/README.Joystick)
4. Remove definition of FGViewer::update() that now is (or can be) pure
virtual\
. (src/Main/viewer.cxx)
5. Preferred form of function name according to comments in plib:
"not_working"\
-> "notWorking". (src/Sound/soundmgr.hxx)
Subject: New panel doc

Hi Curt,
Here's the latest version panel doc. I'm also including the final
version joystick doc, the one in docs-mini is one behind.
I made some changes to my local sources to get a larger viewport
allowing for a shaped panel and still being able to see the runway
on takeoff. Should I send you the changes? David M is cool with it.
FWIW I've been playing with 3D renders for some textures and it's
looking pretty good. Theres a screenshot with the throttle and
mixture knobs done like that at http://rockfish.net/fg/
I'm going to post a tarball with what I have now to the above URL
but Dave is planning on making some changes to property manager over
the weekend and I figured I'd wait till I'm synched with any name changes
before making an official update.
