Flour

I'm trying to load a convex mesh, which I previously generated using flour. I'm using version 0.3.2 since I was unable to get the 0.4 GIT version to compile.
So far I have converted multiple meshes and some of them work, but some of them cause a heap corruption during loading. However flour test says they all are okay. Also I have converted the same models, that crash now, before and it worked back then. Any recommendations?

Hi i'm having the same problem as you.
I have Flour 4.0 (I recently upgrade Ogre to 1.7 and I think that i can't use other versions)

I convert my model to triangles and everything goes right,but when i load the .nxs file

NxOgre::ResourceSystem::getSingleton()->openArchive("Nx", "file:C:\\Work\\VisualDany\\VisualDany\\Nx");
//Lab Node
NxOgre::Mesh* triangle = NxOgre::MeshManager::getSingleton()->load("Nx:Lab4.nxs");


I have a HEAP CORRUPTED DETECTED after Normal block...
CRT detected that the apliccation wrote to memory after end of heap buffer

If i ignore the error apears my model but without physics (not collision, etc..)
The debug point to this metod in class NxOgreSharedStringStream.cpp

SharedStringStream::~SharedStringStream(void)
{
if (_References)
{
--(*_References);
if ((*_References) == 0)
{
NxOgre_Unallocate(_References);
NxOgre_Unallocate(_Buffer->_String);<-------------------Here is the debug point
NxOgre_Unallocate(_Buffer);
}
}
}


Can anyone help me??
I'm doing something wrong?

I use cupcake and the file load correctly

Thanks!

same problem here , even if i use the monkey.nxs that come with the zipped flour 0.4, i tryed an nxs that i found named test.nxs(posted by a member here in the forum around) ,it worked just fine that mean i don't have problem in my Ogre1.7 , or nxOgre , but it's coming from the .nxs file , does anybody have a way to get nxs files from Ogre1.7's mesh or from 3DS . i'm in big confusion , and i'm thinking about changing to an other engine if there are no solution for making nxs files... ?

check this post, the last will tell you how to

You guys should upgrade to Detritus with Critter, it's far more stable than Bloody Mess, and you shouldn't get stupid crashes like that any more.

It's very helpful in my case .. i'm going to convert mesh to xmlOgre mesh , then use the rb converterMesh to flower , then use the flour0.4 to get the .nxs files , a long chain to get the .nxs but what i hope for now is getting the successfull results. well how about moving to Detritus with Critter, is there big diferance ?
i thought that BloodyMess was the stable release after the Bleeding isn't it ?
Status Quo

The most recent copies of NxOgre will be nightly Git versions but as they are untested and usually released in micro-updates. The stable version of NxOgre is called BloodyMess (1.5.5+) which is released in bi-monthly updates. An older but still used version of NxOgre is called Bleeding (1.0.22+) but the API is very different from BloodyMess and Git Versions.

Tis.

But Detritus has had so much work on it now, that Bloody Mess is ancient compared to it.


Also; there is a Blender flower exporter if that helps, and the Flower schema is very open and easy to make an exporter for.

Thanks Betajean, it works like a charm.


here is what i've done :

i'm using [bloodymess1.5.5 , Ogre1.7 ]

From studioMax saving to -> taru.mesh / taru. material

Converted the mesh using OgreXMLConverter_d.exe to get -> taru.mesh.xml

i used ogrexmltoflower.rb to get-> taru.mesh.xml.flower

used flour to get -> test.nxs


In my app i use the code :

NxOgre::ResourceSystem::getSingleton()->openArchive("resources", "file:C:\\OgreSDK\\media");
NxOgre::Mesh* triangleMesh = NxOgre::MeshManager::getSingleton()->load("resources:taru.nxs");

NxOgre::Shape* trienglee=new NxOgre::TriangleGeometry(triangleMesh);

NxOgre::RigidBodyDescription TaruDescription;
TaruDescription.mMass =10;

myKeni= mRenderSystem->createBody(trienglee ,NxOgre::Vec3(0,1000,0),"taru.mesh",TaruDescription);

seems it's working fine . still testing ...

Edit: i'm thinking about warping my work to Detritus , but i dunno if i can find enough documentation about it , i'm afraid i don't find information about using it ...
