PLSM demo and OgreSDK

I have a simple question. Do I need the OgreSDK to run the PLSM demo?

to run binary demo, no.

Ok thanks. I'm just a little confused because I've had to change my resources.cfg that was provided in the demo. Changes I've had to make are as follows:
- All the fonts, program, scripts directories are provided in the root
- OgreCore.zip was also in the root

I'm a little concerned because DeferredShadingMedia did not exist as well as cubemap.zip, cubemapsJS.zip and the other .zip files. I've commented them out (hoping I don't need them).

My new config file:


# Resource locations to be added to the 'boostrap' path
# This also contains the minimum you need to use the Ogre example framework
[Bootstrap]
Zip=./OgreCore.zip

# Resource locations to be added to the default path
[General]
FileSystem=../../Media
FileSystem=./fonts
FileSystem=./programs
FileSystem=./scripts
FileSystem=./textures
FileSystem=./models
FileSystem=./overlays
FileSystem=./particle
FileSystem=./gui
#FileSystem=./DeferredShadingMedia
#Zip=../../Media/packs/cubemap.zip
#Zip=../../Media/packs/cubemapsJS.zip
#Zip=../../Media/packs/dragon.zip
#Zip=../../Media/packs/fresneldemo.zip
#Zip=../../Media/packs/ogretestmap.zip
#Zip=../../Media/packs/skybox.zip


Actually textures are in 2 locations. Not sure which the correct one is:
- ./textures
- ./Samples/Media/paginglandscape2/materials/textures

I'm stumped at the moment because I'm getting the following error when running MapSplitter (I've no idea where ogreaddons comes from):

ok, i'll check binary demo cfgs, thanks for report and solution.

I'm stumped at the moment because I'm getting the following error when running MapSplitter

Demos tries those two directory to find the required media, but only if didn't find it in the resource.cfg.
Here's what should be a good version

Thanks Tuan!!

I had to make some changes to your config file in order to get it to work with the demo 'out of the box.' The MapSplitter seemed to work fine.

I used the same paths for resources_plsm2.cfg. I however get a NewWorld2 error. Is this a terrain that is not provided with the demo? (I do have the latest datasrcs)

The paginglandscape2.cfg file has the following line:
NewWorld2=NewWorld2

Strange thing is i still get the same error when I comment out this line :S


Error #: 7

Ok, fixed...

Changed DefaultMap to Alpes and removed NewWorld2 references.
