Terrain Wrapper

Hi all, I've started using MOgre for my project and I'm trying to load terrain from Ogitor but it seems I have to use the new Ogre Terrain addon. Has someone written a wrapper for this? If not, what is the best way to go around wrapping the addon and I'll do it myself.

Cheers

There is no wrapper for the new terrain addons yet. If you plan to wrap it yourself, you have several possibilities.

First, you need to know how c++/cli work, i assume you already know it if you plan to wrap the addon, otherwise, it's not really too hard to understand once you got the basis of c++ and are experienced with .net framework.

1. Using cpp2java - Autowrap to generate the wrapper source code. It won't work out of the box, so you will need to modify it a bit. Pro : Easier to maintain / you won't need to publish source code, just the modified autowrapper / cpp2java source. Con: understanding how autowrap - cpp2java work could take some time[/*:m]
   
2. Wrap it yourself. It's the most straightforward way. Pro : Easier to get a working wrapper, you don't need to wrap everything to make it work. Con : Harder to maintain. You need to keep track of change on the addons. [/*:m][/list:u]

Hmm, thanks for the information. I do have some experience writing wrappers so I'll give it a bash.

Post the code if you ever succeed, it'll be really helpful

Certainly will.

Just started a new job with a 3 hour commute which is a bit of a bitch so I've not had a lot of time to get very far.

I've been learning the cpp2java stuff and got the terrain code wrapped. Not tested, not compiled, that's the next step

Nice to have one more cpp2java knowing boy.
Publishing new or updated wrappers is nice

By the way - would it be also possible to wrap an add-on by SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) or isn't it compatible with the cpp2java / C++/CLI wrapper of Mogre?

hi tuft

I'm also interested in a wrapper for this (after having ill-success with MET). Have you made any progress with this?
