- cosmetics: remove trailing spaces and commented out debug messages
These functions are now called in fgOSMainLoop. The fgMainLoop
function was being called twice, which resulted in a slow-down, but
also caused the displayed frame rate to double!
free /models/model[*] slot and lets the model manager load the
model. The target address is returned under "property". Simple
use in Nasal:
fgcommand("add-model", props.Node.new({
"path": "Models/Fauna/cow.ac",
"latitude-deg": 16.234,
"longitude-deg": 48.321,
"elevation-ft": 300,
});
An "elevation-m" property can alternatively be used and overrides
the "elevation-ft" property.
Each of the properties "latitude-deg", "longitude-deg", "elevation-ft",
"heading-deg", "pitch-deg", and "roll-deg" can alternatively be used
with "-prop" suffix. Their values must then be property path strings
pointing to a node that can be changed at runtime to move the model.
coordinates that were set relative to the aircraft's position
are picked up before the view update rather than the next cycle.
This avoids ugly fluttering of "passengers" at higher speed.
Partition depth in CameraGroup:
Remove the ViewPartionNode scenegraph node. The split rendering of the
scene, done to avoid Z buffer precision problems, is now done by two
slave cameras of the viewer.
Rename FGManipulator to FGEventHandler.
Remove virtual member functions that aren't required for event handlers.
Begin using camera group properties to update cameras at runtime;
Initially only the viewport properties are used.
When no camera group is found in the property tree (the default),
create the properties for one. Expose the default window by name.
Add a test for Boost headers to configure.ac. Boost is now a
dependency.
Remove GLUT and SDL versions of the OSG graphics.
stabilize some of the odd artifacts we were hearing, that were especially
noticable in clean sound samples like the stall horn or the marker beacon
codes. The change still preserves the doppler effect and maintains the
good work of a previous developer figuring out how to align the model and
listener velocity vectors correctly.
It fixes the following issues (to a greater or lesser extent):
1) Performance. Quad trees used to improve culling, and the sprites are placed on the surface of a sphere rather than
randomly throughout the cloud, requiring fewer textures. This saves about 5-10fps on my machine.
2) Disabled 3D clouds have no performance impact. Previously they were still in the scenegraph. Now they are removed.
3) Clouds are now loaded on start-up, and don't require the scenario to be changed, they also work with METAR.
4) The cloud field is shifted as you travel. There's a small bug in that the clouds "jump" as you reach the edge of the field.
5) Iterative sorting of sprites. This doesn't appear to solve the alpha blending problem completely, but may help a bit.
the case where the removed child has no other referants, otherwise it
will be deleted on function exit. Also give the ghost type a name for
cleaner debugging.
or the unit was not serviceable. This search() routine needs to run every
iteration no matter what the power or serviceable state. If power is turned
off or the unit becomes unserviceable while a beacon sound is playing, the
search() routine still needs to be called so the sound effect can be properly
disabled.
This was a source of a spew of "NaN" error messages at night when the
sun is at a large angle to the zenith. I don't know why this wasn't a
problem before now.
This patch changes terrasync so it links against the subversion
library if you have it installed. It supports people who build binary
releases for use by non-developers by removing the runtime external
dependency on having command line svn or rsync available. Since the
patch changes autoconf to detect libsvn, I'd appreciate it if people
who release binaries could verify that the detection scripting works
for their platform.
Developer warning: If you do have libsvn developer libraries
installed, terrasync changes its default option from "-R" to "-S" to
remove the command line dependency. However, Martin has not yet
uploaded world scenery into the subversion repository so it won't be
useful to fly against and you may want to specify "-R" on the command
line in the short term. Or run both.
Me: Update MSVC 7.1 project file. Need svn-win32-1.x.y_dev.zip and svn-win32-1.x.y.zip
