as you may have noticed in another thread.. i got an acer w500 tablet (dual core low end amd with integrated 6150) 2gb ram

needless to say, i will not be installing a 64 bit os so i will be makign the game 32 […]

The final version is working. We ended up creating the vehicle chasis with the +Z pointing out the front of the vehicle. This forces the wheel axle to be set to (-1,0,0) to make it point to the right. As […]

A simpler test case just for the issue would be much appreciated next time. In your test the Floor is A when its a mesh shape and B when its a Box shape so naturally the normal inverts if you don’t check for the […]

I should know tonight. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Also, I haven’t tried it yet, but if you have a node instead of a geometry for the wheel and then rotate the geometry 180deg to counteract the bullet rotation, I think you’ll be back to having […]

I believe that if the axle direction is in the opposite direction as the chasis, the wheel geometry/spatial will get rotated. With the spatial origin in the middle, the position of the wheel will be fine and if […]

Okay, seems I understood you, I got a bit lost in the long text and was all like “xyzzxyxz” Just having a separate wheel model at 0/0/0 should work if I got your right, shouldn’t it?

Thanks for the confirmation. I reviewed the wiki info on vehicles, the test class, and the native bullet code to understand what was going on. I just wanted to find out why. I think I do now.

Yes, make the vehicles point in the z direction or else make them move backwards, this is what I found out as well. Look at the vehicle test and maybe the vehicle editor in the SDK, both consider this and then go […]

Please keep in mind when you read this that I’m not an expect in rotation matrix, but I think I’ve narrowed my issue down. I’m not sure there is actually and issue with Bullet or JME at this point, but I could […]

Normen I have set my test case on a git server so that you will be able to access it if you want

git clone http://174.45.208.195:8081/CharacterTestCase.git

will allow you to clone the repository through […]

Great idea Normen! So in doing this I can recreate the error, but it does require more steps than I previously thought. For the error to occur my map also has to be in the scene. I made the map in blender out of a […]

Can you make a test case for this? Can’t really reproduce it, when creating a test case you’ll either see whats wrong in your code or you’ll get the same issue and I can track it down using that test case.

Thanks @normen for the fast response.

Thanks, I fixed it and the next build should contain all binaries. Ragdoll test is much nicer now with native bullet

Check the bullet documentation (I know, good joke) or just experiment. I was able to get out anything I wanted from bullets raycast vehicles. The wheel location is also bullets decision. The wheels are rotated by […]
