parser. Advantages over xml.nas: (reviewed and OK'ed by Andy)
- faster (33% ... only. I had hoped for more.)
- more standards compliant
- should support UTF
- I don't have to support it. ;-)
Usage: parsexml(<path> [, <start-tag> [, <end-tag> [, <data> [, <pi>]]]]);
<path> is an absolute file path, the rest are optional callback functions.
Example:
parsexml("/tmp/foo.xml", nil, nil, func(d) { print("DATA FOUND: ", d) });
where type is one of string (default), double, float, long, int, bool
Using only the first letter works, too.
--prop:foo=123 ... sets property foo to string 123 (old behavior)
--prop:string:foo=123 ... verbose version of above
--prop:s:foo=123 ... slightly less verbose version of above
--prop:bool:foo=1 ... makes property a bool of value 'true'
I hope this isn't considered a silly gimmick. I need this often and maybe
other developers do, too. It's useful in cases where the difference really
matters. if (getprop("/foo")), for instance, is TRUE even when the property
contains string "false", as all strings are TRUE.
efficiently performing "Dijkstra algorithm".
Durk Talsma: Added the detection of "circular" wait situations in the AI
ground network. A circular wait is a situation where aircraft a waits for
b; b waits for c; and c (in turn) waits for a. The checkCircularWaits
function detects these situations.
The current "solution" to a circular wait is rather crude: Remove the
aircraft from the scene. A proper solution needs a lot more work, however,
and at least this patch stops the AI system from clogging up. in case of a
circular wait.
data for AI traffic. Default performance classes are still available as a
backup. This database will allow the calculation of aircraft-specific
take-off speed and estimate runway lenght requirements. Further added
rudimentary support for take-off and landing rotation of AIAircraft.
together -- there's only *one* instrument node now
- don't take "random" tacan, but <tacan-source> from the instrumentation
config (or /instrumentation/tacan[0] by default)
- don't take "random" display-controls from /instrumentation/tacan[0]
- default name is now "radar" (formerly "wxradar")
* it says it's a warning (while in fact it's just saying what it's doing)
* the user can't do much here (yes, flying slower, but it doesn't say that :-)
* scrolling those countless messages in the terminal puts stress on the CPU
in a time when it's apparently already struggling
- re-enable od_gauge ("owner drawn" render-to-texture instruments)
- implement radar in c++ (unlimited number of clouds/ai/mp/... objects,
better performance)
or nil if no terrain intersection could be made (tile not loaded yet).
<matdata> is a hash with information about the surface material, or nil
if no material is assigned (shouldn't really happen, but one never knows).
Example:
var ac = geo.aircraft_position();
var data = geoddata(ac.lat(), ac.lon());
debug.dump(data);
# which outputs
[ 294.5862574369132, { light_coverage : 0, bumpiness : 0, load_resistance : 1e+30,
solid : 1, names : [ "pc_taxiway", "dirt_rwytaxiway" ], friction_factor : 1,
rolling_friction : 0.02 } ]
With this information it can be determined how far an object would sink in,
if the coordinate is on a runway, etc.
foreach (var n; data[1].names)
if (string.match(n, "p[ac]_*"))

/sim/screneryloaded-override was "true". At least one subsystem (od_gauge)
waits for /sim/sceneryloaded to bypass CPU intensive code until the scenery
is up. This broke e.g. the RTT-radar when using /sim/screneryloaded-override
--prop:sim/sceneryloaded-override=true has the effect that fgfs
doesn't show the splash screen until the scenery is loaded, but shows
the OTW view (scenery/aircraft) at the earliest possible moment. This is
useful for developers who often need to run fgfs only to check some minor
detail, while not caring about stuttering caused by scenery loading.
simple SG_LOG instead. The user didn't call the fgcommand, so why should
s/he be bothered with that? And the actually caller of the command gets a
return value and can pop up a dialog if it thinks it's necessary.
Why /sim/fg-current at all? Because we have a file selector dialog
(still unfinished), and one might like to start it from the current
directory, to find saved flights/screenshots/whatever.
FGManipulator.*:
"This patch works around a bug in OSG's handling of modifier keys. The
symptom of the bug is that modifier keys don't appear to be released."
fg_os_osgviewer.cxx:
"This patch fixes the test for support of cursor changes in OSG 2.0."
because this allows to load from FG_HOME. To reduce security risks, always
append an ".xml" extension if there was none. Makes it hard to read /etc/secret
and to overwrite ~/.bashrc. :-)
