Eihort problem

Hi.

I just downloaded Ogre Eihort. So I thought that PLSM should updated too. I downloaded the latest CVS-version and compiled it. Now i have some problems with map loading.. If I try to load map with this code: System::getSingleton().SceneManager->setOption("CurrentMap", &name);
if( !System::getSingleton().SceneManager->setOption("LoadMap", &name) ) OGRE_EXCEPT(0, "Map loading failed.", "BaseMapManager::loadMap");
System::getSingleton().SceneManager->setOption("LoadNow", NULL);It only gives me that exception. So it looks like something got wrong. I also noticed that I can´t set world geometry with this code:mSceneMgr->setWorldGeometry( "" );
With Dagon, that was possible. My question is: how can I load map with Eihort?

Thanks.

EDIT: My problem is similar to this: http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2addons/view ... enemanager

I have been having same type of problems recently., it worked in Dagon with no problems., now in Eihort 1.4 rc2(source), it seems to build ok, and run., but unable to see terrain because it will flash by at warp speed ( tsmterrain) using w,s keys,,,or terrain will not show up at all.,Alps,for one., ( just using the supplied maps(+grand canyon,ps sound etc.,)from demo.,),eventually causing exception when i change maps (n),or texture(k).,more less what i see is a blue screen with one main light. Map Splitter seems to do it's thing, resources ok aswell...i'm stumped..,also i get this., with Alps in plsm2 log.:Cannot find map named alpes.1.0.png. ( its not on my hard drive).., was mapsplitter suppose to produce this?..i honestly havent tryed yet to get in my own terrain i made using L3dt.,i would like to get the demo working first. Wish i had an answer for you.

Hi and thanks for your answer.

My English skills are not good enough so could you make you answer clear? :/ You have invented the solution? What is it?

Hi Dibalo,
I am still trying to find a solution/fix. Will post if i find something. Just tryed again., pagingLandscape(CVS),ran plsm2_vc8.sln,,,same thing.

Mapsplitter does split up maps and place them in proper folders.,ie.terrain/Alps's etc....not a resource problem as far as i can see here anyway. Let u know if i find something.., dont wait up. lol

NO solution yet.

I think that the problem is that Ogre doesn´t register PL scene manager. Instead of that, it registers only generic scene manager, which doesn´t support "LoadNow"-option or world geometry. This is just a quess.

EDIT: I´m pretty sure of it. When I commented out the PLSM-plugin declaration from my plugins.cfg file, the problem is exactly same: OGRE EXCEPTION(2:InvalidParametersException): World geometry is not supported by the generic SceneManager. in SceneManager::setWorldGeometry at e:\projects\ogrecvs\branches\eihort_vc8_clean\ogrenew\ogremain\src\ogrescenemanager.cpp (line 1301)So it looks like that there is something problem in either plugin registeration or scene manager registeration.

EDIT2: Hmmm.. It looks like the plugin registration works fine. This is from my Ogre.log:20:36:25: Loading library ./plugin\RenderSystem_Direct3D9_d

EDIT3: Ok.. Maybe I quessed wrong. I noticed that "Plugin successfully installed" -note is missing after PLSM-plugin installation. So I made a little debugging round and I noticed some weird thing. I took my Ogre::Root-object under watch and looked to it´s "mPlugins"-array. There was SIX installed plugins! SIX?! If my math is correct, I can count seven plugins in the log. And also in my plugin.cfg file...

My plugin.cfg looks like this: # Defines plugins to load

# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=./plugin

# Define plugins
Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9_d
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL_d
Plugin=Plugin_ParticleFX_d
Plugin=Plugin_BSPSceneManager_d
Plugin=Plugin_OctreeSceneManager_d
Plugin=Plugin_CgProgramManager_d
Plugin=Plugin_PagingLandScapeSceneManager2_d

I noticed you are working on debug dll's., have you tryed building in release?., with same problem? I think your plugins working ok by looks of ur log., here's mine., i did change a line in my plugin.cfg., was missing a "./"...thanks for making me look into that. hehe

Am going to build in debug.,be able to chk deeper...I did run my L3DT terrain through map splitter and spat out files in proper locations., with same results., was a shot in the dark. hehe.., k

I noticed you are working on debug dll's., have you tryed building in release?., with same problem? Nope. I haven´t tested release mode yet.

Ok ok.. I have figured out the first problem. How do you create your scene manager? I think something like this:void BaseApplication::createSceneManager()
{
mSceneMgr = mRoot->createSceneManager(Ogre::ST_EXTERIOR_REAL_FAR, "MyOGREsmgr");
}
I searched the PLSM2 demo application and noticed that the scene manager creation is done by a little different. So I changed my scene manager creation from that to this:void BaseApplication::createSceneManager()
{
mSceneMgr = mRoot->createSceneManager("PagingLandScapeSceneManager", "MyOGREsmgr");
}Now my application registers PLSM to scene manager, not Generic. I think this is some kind of bug. But but... My problems are not over yet. My application crash when I try to load map. My problem is now similar to this: http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2addons/view ... ght=eihort

I got a picture from my IDE with debugging: http://koti.mbnet.fi/masa_89/kuvia/problem.png
As you can see, "e" is pointing to NULL and that causes the crash. In line 132 i get the "e" -pointer. The whole line doesn´t exist in that picture but I can copy it here:GpuConstantDefinition const * const e = params->_findNamedConstantDefinition("splatSettings", false);So the code should return a named constant definition. If you look my picture again, you can notice that the map has 4 errors instead of names like "splatSettings". Maybe this is the problem.. What do you say?

P.S. The picture is telling wrong; I have no Vista. I have XP Pro.

mSceneMgr = mRoot->createSceneManager("PagingLandScapeSceneManager", "PagingLandScapeDemo" );

pretty much what i have., I have been able to get tsmTerrain to work in demo.,after changing the TSMterrain.cfg file..the camera base y pos is way off. which sort of makes u believe you have an empty blue screen.,i lowered it to 600 from 32000,and now when i load map it correctly views landscape and able to navigate with w,s,a,d keys without going into light speed.., it is the only map i can load though,and view correctly.,.,how long does it take for your mapsplitter to run a batch run on the demo terrains? (6 maps)..It takes me about 1 min., does that sound right?.,seemed to remember taking it much longer before..,also have u tryed
# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=.
just curious., mine is like this.

It seems that you are not using splatting. I´m using Splatting shader so that´s why the crash. And nope, I haven´t ran mapsplitter after patch.

My plugin configuration is:PluginFolder=./plugins
And I have a "plugins" called folder.
