mPageLoadQueue::find_nearest return NULL

The method

mPageLoadQueue.find_nearest(pos);


in PagingLandScapePageManager::processLoadQueues()

always returns NULL.

Why?
How can I solve this problem?

Is that on all cases, even with big number of pages ?
Did you try with canyon terrain ?

Only tried it with ps_height_1k

Well ps_height_1k has surely all pages (4) loaded at start.
So load queue is always empty.

But LoadQueue::empty() returns false, because it has 3 elements.

Need to debug find_nearest().
What is strange is that it's the same method to that is used for tiles/renderables find and it works otherwise canyon loading won't give that nice spiral order loading result...

I'll check asap, I can't right now due to other job pending, so feel free to have you have a look.

OK, will try to find the error myself.
One last thing, is there any manual or somethink like that. You know some kind of doxygen generated documentation... .

You can generate doxygen documentation.
I personnally use Doxys : http://www.doxys.dk/homepage/Download/D ... ption.html
which don't need any config file.

But feel free to contribute a doxygen script.

mmm seems that uint mindist = -1;should be uint mindist = 0; in OgrePagingLandScapeQueue.h:164...

but that's not the method called.

I cannot reproduce your problem or I misunderstood it.
If mPageLoadQueue.find_nearest(pos) was returning null it would raise assert, so that never happens.
If you debug in release mode, beware that it doesn't always give correct values in debugger and so. Release debug is more about call stack and graph info than variables values.

The problem was the camera-position.

The position was ~ x=1.35e+038 y=0.00000 z = 1.35e+038
Because of that the variable res had the value #1.000INF. so no tile of the 3 tiles in the queue was returned by the method.

But I'm still having problems.
I think they are exist, because im having 4 viewports and 4 cameras in one scene (there are 4 cameras for one scene because I'm programming a Level Editor)

cam 1-3: orthogonal projection
cam 4: perspectivic projection

The problem above could be solved by setting the cam-positions after calling setWorldGeometry.

Now the problem is, that i can't see anything in one of the viewports.

The perspective-viewport-camera has the position:

x = 600
y = 15000
z = 550

clipdistance_near = 10
clipdistance_far = 35000

But nothing is displayed on the screen.

any ideas?

As I've successfully use many camera at once without problems. I'm not sure it's plsm2 related...

And If you left only the camera that doesn't work ?

This screen shows the scene with all viewports with camera=

x = 50.0f;
y = 50.0f;
z = 50.0f;



The next screen shows the same scene but with camera=

x = 50.0f;
y = 14000.0f;
z = 50.0f;



As you can see, "normal" meshes are rendered, but not so the terrain.
(ATM i don't know why nothing is rendered in the Top-Viewport [the upper left one])

any suggestions?

only one FileSystem was supported at a time.
Was unclear, there... I added multiple FileSystem or Zip resource support in CVS.

Perhaps it came from here.

Perhaps it came from here.

No.
Still having same problem.

I have no idea there...

Did you try with only one camera at 0,0,0 ?
