BloodyMess Tutorial 7 Problem

hi,
i just copied Tutorial 7 and change the file name and tried to compile but it crash on this line:
OGRE3DBody* convexBody = mRenderSystem->createBody(convex, NxOgre::Real3(0, 30, 0), "Barrel.mesh");

--------------------------------------------------
// Open archive and load the meshes
NxOgre::ResourceSystem::getSingleton()->openArchive("media", "file:C:\OgreSDK\bin\debug\Media");
NxOgre::Mesh* convexMesh = NxOgre::MeshManager::getSingleton()->load("media:Barrel.nxs");
NxOgre::Mesh* triangleMesh = NxOgre::MeshManager::getSingleton()->load("media:Cone.nxs");

// Create the Convex and the TriangleGeometry
NxOgre::Convex* convex = new NxOgre::Convex(convexMesh);
NxOgre::TriangleGeometry* triangleGeometry = new NxOgre::TriangleGeometry(triangleMesh);

// Create the OGRE3DBody with the Convex as its shape
OGRE3DBody* convexBody = mRenderSystem->createBody(convex, NxOgre::Real3(0, 30, 0), "Barrel.mesh");
convexBody->setGlobalOrientation(NxOgre::Matrix33(NxOgre::Real4(0, 45, 0, 45)));

// Create the SceneGeometry
mScene->createSceneGeometry(triangleGeometry, NxOgre::Matrix44(NxOgre::Real3(0, 5, 0)));

// Create the Entity and Scenenode to visualize the SceneGeometry
Ogre::Entity* triangleEntity = mSceneMgr->createEntity("triangleEntity", "Cone.mesh");
Ogre::SceneNode* triangleNode = mSceneMgr->getRootSceneNode()->createChildSceneNode();
triangleNode->attachObject(triangleEntity);
triangleNode->setPosition(Vector3(0, 5, 0));

Can't use ogre meshes directly into NxOgre. You have to convert them using flour.

ok, then .mesh must be .nxs?
"Barrel.mesh" to barrel.nxs?

i did that but it wont work!
in Sample there is Barrel.mesh how can i convert it?
i use Flour convert in:barrel.mesh into:convex,out:barre.nxs
i still getting same error access violation on this line -->OGRE3DBody* convexBody = mRenderSystem->createBody(convex, NxOgre::Real3(0, 30, 0), "Barrel.nxs");

mActor = mScene->getScene()->createActor(actor_description);

If you really used tis line for conversion everything should be fine with the NXS file.
flour convert in:Barrel.mesh, into:convex, out:Barrel.nxs

Just make sure that Barrel.nxs lies in the listed path so your EXE can find it. You could also run your application in debug mode and post the NxOgre.log and the NxOgreLeaks.txt files. Perhaps the problems is listed there.

If your running in Debug Mode. You can perform a stack trace to the exact line that is causing the error.

this is my NxOgre Log File

Path is right.. media folder is where the exe is. and i use :

NxOgre::ResourceSystem::getSingleton()->openArchive("media", "file:C:\OgreSDK\bin\debug\Media");
or
NxOgre::ResourceSystem::getSingleton()->openArchive("media", "file:media");

... No Solution?

Your actor description for one of those actors/bodies there is invalid. What does the full log say?

That's the leaks; The NxOgre log.

I need something more specific than the Description is NULL. There are many reasons why it could be null.

Here is my code:

}

mTimeController->advance(evt.timeSinceLastFrame);
return ExampleFrameListener::frameStarted(evt);

l->setPosition(20, 80, 50);

my working directory:
C:\OgreSDK\bin\debug

in debug there is media folder that contain Barrel.mesh and Barrel.nxs....
and NxOgre LOg File

I appreciate what your putting here. But it is a bit of a needle in a haystack. I need something more specific. How about you start taking blocks of code out until it stops crashing then slowly add bits back in to find the offending line.

i think i get it ! Barrel.mesh is not Problem.. Trianglemesh is the main problem when i delete codes for Triangle mesh
program run without any error i think My trianglemesh has some problem i will convert my mesh again .



thx for reply

i made a triangle mesh from Plane.mesh and it worked there must be something wrong with Cone.mesh to be triangle mesh!
WHen visual debugger will Be ready? i really need it everybody needs it.
another question :
i need my trigger move with a NxBody how can i do that? can i simply change its global position ?
Thx

The VisualDebugger is ready and works (if you grab the version from the Git repo).

I'm not sure, if triggers were designed to be moved, but you could have a try .

why there isn't any document for nxogre itself?
What do you mean by this?

The right Flour conversion line would look like this:
flour convert in:Cone.mesh, into:triangle, out:Cone.nxs

it worked!

thx for reply

Dont get the sense out of this sentence...
i was going to change my physic engine to Bullet but i believe NxOgre is best to choose!
...but do as you please.
