- fix launch
- fix taxiway debug uninitialized variable
- fixed issue when child crashes, not timed out - detect the error
when we get notified that the socket has data, but no line is received
the resultant poly was huge, and I could run out of memory.
For closed polys, remove_dups() after snapping.
Also cleaned up the dump_xxx debug command line switches.
- now 1 based, not 0.
- debug_cp directory is the datasource name, so the directory need
not exist before running genapt850.
and after intermediate nodes are added.
If we snap before intermediate nodes are added, we generate extra slivers, as
the proximity for node insertion may fail when the extra node is snapped away
from the line we are checking
- remove gen_overrun, and the 'generic' gen_tex functions.
- removed rwy_common.cxx
NOTE: now, helipads don't share the same generate function as runway sections.
Maybe later they can be remerged...
which should make it easier to understand the code. If there are parts that can be generalized, I'll
pull these out. gen_runway_marking was only called from one place however...
Instead of cleaning polys after clipping, to get good triangulation, try to
clean them before clipping, snap the verticies to 1 1cm x 1cm grid, and
merge any resultant slivers back into adjacent polys.
This is very similar to how fgfs-construct worked.
Although the previous methos only failed on 3 airports, the results weren't
very good. There were lots of cracks, and mmissing triangles, as the polys were
cleaned.
New methos freezes on two airports during base triangulation, and crashes on four.
I think the quality of the generated airports overcomes the slight regression.
I also added some debug switches so I don't have to keep rebuilding from source
to debug crashes. --dump-rwy=xxx --dump-pvmt=xxx, --dump-feat=xxx and --dum-base=1
can be used to create shapefiles to debug the particular polys before clipping.
Currently, there needs to be a cp_debug directory to place the shapefiles into.
Probably need better debug infrastructure going forward...
NOTE: I turned off runway shoulder generation in this build. Polygon snapping for runways,
helipads, and shoulders not implemented yet. This may help on the failing airports.
This is next on my todo list.
Just three airports crashed, and no hangs. One of the crashes is still NZSP
I don't know if I'll fix this soon. It's the south pole problem with stuff
crossing the IDL.
- Added dome debug support for generating shapefiles from TGPolygon.
This allows directly creating shapefiles instead of chopping a poly, then
having to run poly2ogr on it. The API is flexible, allowing multiple
datafiles, and layers open simutaneously, and the features in the shapefiles
have a description field that can be set.
- Added a restart-id= which allows a bash script to check the exit value of genapts,
and automatically restart on the airport after the one that crashed.
I've included an example script I have used.
- Stability fixes:
1) actually, this is both stability, and graphical fix. Some airport linear
features and polygon contours were using bezier nodes for straight lines.
When the control point lies just outside the line, the parser would attempt to
draw a 'hook' unfortunately, some of my calcs return NAN, and sometimes you just
get crazy looking polys to attempt to clip - not good.
Fix is to check cubic and quadratic nodes to see if they should really be linear.
Substitute linear segments where apropriate.
2) Along the same line as 1, There are some really short bezier segments, that were
getting subdivided into the hard coded 8 segments. Now, if the approximately linear
distance of the curve is less than 4 meters, the curve is broken into 1/2 meter segments.
Likewise, if the curve is greater than 800 meters, the curve is broken into 100 meter
segments.
3) Sometimes, during clipping, degenerate ontours are created. Although these are cleaned
before triangulation, there were still issues with generating the accumulation poly with
the union operator, causing a crash. I now simplify, and reduce degeneracy on all polys
before clipping against the accumulator.
- Extra special bonus - successful completeion of an airport is printed in green :)
