[HELP] Directory Structure Screwed Up...

Hello,

I currently have the OGRE 1.0.6 Source for Windows compiled and all. I've downloaded the PLSM2 source from http://tuan.kuranes.free.fr/Ogre.html. Now I've extracted all of the contents inside of the PLSM2 source file into C:\Ogre\ogrenew\PlugIns\PagingSceneManager. I opened the plsm2.sln file in this directory. All of the projects load fine. I had to change a bunch of include directories to suit my structure. Now I build all, and everything goes along just fine, but when linking, it crashes with these 4 errors:

Could someone help me out installing this plugin? ...This is the first time I've tried to install a plugin in Ogre, and the installation instructions are very confusing on the Ogre Wiki.

-Ryan

Well, that's not a crash. Just a few linker errors.

Getting PLSM added into a solution was a bit of a nuisance as I recall. In this case I'd say you didn't add Ogremain.lib to PLSM's additional dependancies (since it looks like you are using Visual Studio.

I also recommend adding a post-build event to copy the DLL into the proper bin directory (normally Samples/Common/bin/$(ConfigurationName).

Since this is your first plug-in I'll remind you to add Plugin_PagingLandScapeSceneManager2.dll to Plugins.cfg once you have it built.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I've got it setup as follows:

C/C++ :: General ::Additional Include Directories = ..\include;C:\Ogre\ogrenew\OgreMain\include;C:\Ogre\ogrenew\Dependencies\include\zzip;C:\Ogre\ogrenew\OgreMain\Dependencies\include\CEGUI

Linker :: General :: Additional Library Dependencies = C:\Ogre\ogrenew\OgreMain\lib\Debug

Linker :: General :: Additional Dependencies = OgreMain_d.dll


Now when I try to compile, I get a single error in linking:

------ Build started: Project: Plugin_PagingLandScapeSceneManager2, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

C:\Ogre\ogrenew\OgreMain\lib\Debug\OgreMain_d.dll : fatal error LNK1136: invalid or corrupt file

Why would it say invalid or corrupt file? OgreMain_d.dll exists in that directory.

Compare it to the one in the build directory. I imagine that the wrong file was copied over.

If the files match, then delete the library from the build directory and rebuild OgreMain -- it is possible that there was an error in creating the library. Still I'm voting for the wrong file.

Well, I've come a long way. I got it to run, but after the Ogre options window pops up, and I click OK, the black window comes up with an error message on top:


An exception has been thrown!

Function: SceneManager::getCamera
Description: Cannot find Camera with PlayerCam.

I just built the new version of Ogre succesfully (I was using 1.0.5), which is how I got the PLSM plugin to compile. Now I'm trying to run the Demo application, and I'm running into the above error. Any suggestions?

PlayerCam is the name of the Camera created in the demo.
but as "getCamera(cameraName)" is not used in Demo nor in Plugin, I've no Idea where this bug comes from.

Could you launch debug mode and check the stack to see where the exception is raised.

I've put that on hold for now, as I'm trying to compile the new Ogre version with PLSM2. I downloaded the newest Azathoth CVS, compiled it successfully, now I'm trying to compile the PLSM2 plugin (from the ogreaddons CVS). My include settings are:

C/C++ :: Additional Include Directories = ..\include;..\..\..\OgreMain\include;..\..\..\Dependenciese\include

I'm using the newest 1.0.6 dependencies from the site. When compiling, I get these errors:

I've followed the directions exactly as written on the Installation tutorial. I've been trying to get this to compile for a while now, and I don't know why it won't.


EDIT :: I downloaded the source from the PLSM2 homepage, and that compiled fine. I don't know why the one from ogreaddons CVS won't work. Perhaps it needs an update?

as said on WIKI page of plsm2 CVS PLSM2 is OGRE CVS HEAD compatible only.

plsm2 SDK is ogre SDK compatible and Azathoth CVS compatible.

Alright, well I've got it compiled, thanks to that little tip, for which I'm sorry I missed. After all is finished, I copied the .dll's from samples/common/bin/debug into the PLSM plugin directory (plsm2/bin/debug). I then copied the demo_paginglandscape2.exe file into this directory as well. I also copied all the .cfg files from the plsm2 source .zip into here. Lastly, I copied the media folder from the .zip into the main plsm2 plugin directory. When trying to run the Demo, the Ogre application runs, but into the render stage, all I see is the sky. Then a window pops up saying it cannot locate resource terrain.Base.0.0.png in resource groupe PLSM2.

I searched around and can't find this file anywhere. I thought it might come from running the map splitter, so I copied MapSplitter.exe into the PLSM2 bin directory, and ran it.... Hours later, I ran out of virtual memory. I upped the VM limit to 2500MB, and hours later, it eventually crashed for some unkown reason. Anyway, what do you suggest I do about finding this lost resource?

-Ryan

This file does come from running MapSplitter. Make sure your Maptools.cfg is setup correctly and rerun MapSplitter. You shouldnt have to copy around the binary much as the Maptools.cfg should tell it where to search and where to put its output.

remove grand_canyon from your Maptools.cfg and paginglandscape2.cfg and rerun mapsplitter.
grand_canyon is too big.
Next SDK should ease that.

Well, I took out the grandcanyon stuff, and MapSplitter.exe completed successfully, but it still didn't make any file called terrain.Base.0.0.png (the closest thing is terrain.0.0.png). I get the same error when trying to run the demo. So if the MapSplitter is supposed to generate this file, why didn't it?

The mapsplitter.log has no errors, I'm lost as of now.

add

BaseMap=yes

in tsm.gen.cfg
(check wiki page on mapsplitter options there : http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Pa ... nfig_files )

Well, BaseMap=yes was already in TsmTerrain.gen.cfg (there is no file called tsm.gen.cfg anywhere). I added it again at the bottom, still doesn't work. I changed it to 'no', still doesn't work. I'll have to look into the other options and files to see if there's something else I need to change.

try disabling minimap in .gen.cfg file, there was a bug fixed today in CVS about that.

No good. I don't understand why this works for other people and not me.

I'll go over what I did again, from the beginning...


1) compiled Ogre CVS azathoth
2) put the /tools, /samples, and /plugins folders in the PLSM2 source .zip into the ogrenew directory.
3) put the media folder into the plsm plugin directory
4) compiled the plsm2 plugin successfully
5) compiled the mapsplitter and plsm2 demo successfully
6) put the mapsplitter and demo .exe's into the plsm2 plugin bin/debug directory (with the necessary .dll's to run them)
7) ran the mapsplitter, everything completed successfully(after removing grandcanyon to prevent crash)
tried to run the demo, keep getting missing resource error.
-MapSplitter.exe doesn't generate the so called "lost" resource: terrain.Base.0.0.png

I dunno?

can you post mapsplitter.log ?

In addition to disable MiniMap I had to set
ColorMapSplit=no
too to make MapSplitter work.

Then at first the sample app was not able to find the MapSplitter generated files. They were being built in the wrong directory (one level to high in directory hierarchy).
So I had to change the output dir as well. I changed
OutDirectory=../../../../Samples/Media/paginglandscape2/terrains/TsmTerrain
to
OutDirectory=../../../Samples/Media/paginglandscape2/terrains/TsmTerrain
in the gen.fg file.

Good Luck,
Markus

Hmm, apparently the CVS version and the SDK version are a lot different, both in directory structures and file contents. The CVS TsmTerrain.gen.cfg file looks like:

#########NORMALS
#
# Normal Map

#### Maps used for splattings
#
# coverage is RGBA, each channel has info for 1 splat

# LONG TIME COMPUTATION
HorizonMap=no
# map elevation lookup table independant, so generate once and rename according to your materials.
ElevationMap=no

# trick Real-Time mapping : sun is constricted in Z axis. Fastest Horizon mapping possible with and without shaders.
ZHorizon=yes


########VISIBILITY
#
# PVS (potential visibility set)
# VERY LONG TIME COMPUTATION
# Will be used to decide if terrain patches are visible or hidden by some hills
# or mountains (not used for now in plugin's code)
# could be used for AI to know if something is visible from a point to another...
# so perhaps a thing that can lies in scenemanagers...
PVSMap=no




I've also attached a copy of my MapSplitter.log file.

Should I just ditch Azathoth and go with HEAD and the CVS version of the PLSM2?

yes they're quite different, as much work has been done since.
If you can use HEAD as Dagon is/will very soon be the Ogre Stable Version.
