Crash in NxCharacter.dll

Hi!

I´ve a problem with the NxOgre Character.

It crashes always on the last line in my project:

// create our physic character
NxOgre::CharacterParams params;
params.mType = NxOgre::CharacterParams::CT_Capsule;
params.mDimensions = NxVec3(0.3,1.8,1.0);
mNxCharacter = nxScene->createCharacter(mName + "#NxChar", Vector3(0,0,0), params);

The debugger shows that the crash occurs in the NxCharacter.dll file and gives no further information.

NxOgre.log says:
----
NxOgre 0.9-38
T0F0
NxOgre::PhysXDriver::PhysXDriver#142
NxOgre (NxOgre 0.9-38 ) Started, working with:

I use the latest SVN image of nxOgre and Ageia 2.7.2.
The cakebox sample works fine on this system so i´m really confused about that error. Did anybody got the same problem?

I should mention that I´ve created a character inside cakebox. This worked fine.

What is this "mName + "#NxChar"" are you using some sort of macro?

Its just the name of the character + an identifier name after the '#' (two concatenated strings).

Are the line:
"T0F0" and
"T1.29501F6075 "

in NxOgre.log normal outputs? I dont know what they could mean. Maybe this is a side effect of my problem?

Yep. It means Time 0/Frame 0 and Time 1.29501 seconds/Frame 6075 it's normal.

Can you try it out with the concatenation (in case) otherwise I can't see anything out out the ordinary ordinary that would cause a crash in the NxCharacter.dll (of all places).

Edit, add modify your code to this:

NxOgre::CharacterParams params;
params.setToDefault();

Ahhhh thats it! I had to set the params to default. Than it works without the assertion in NXCharacter.dll. Thanks a lot .
May be it would be better to set params to default at construction, wouldnt it?
Or this unusual behaviour should be made more clear somehow...

Thanks a lot for that and for NxOgre in common

They do in Bleeding.

Do you think it is a good choice to move my project to Bleeding?

It is some kind of first person simulation. Currently I only use static geometry and would heavily make use of your character class. Especially the navigation part. Does this make sense at the current development of Bleeding?

Nope. Because currently in bleeding we don't have a triangle mesh shape or a character class.
