In Topic: Sloped Bullet Heightmap Inaccurate

Today, 11:18 AM

@MrRowl - nice trick! The btHeightfieldTerrainShape is a concave shape though.

 

I'm not sure what you're getting at...

 

It is a concave shape, but still btConvexTriangleCallback ends up getting called. Making this change can improve the frame rate of my app from around 15 to 25 FPS on lower-end mobile devices.

Hehe - I guess I need to go back and take a second look. I didn't expect concave shapes to end up in convex callbacks, but like I said I didn't look very deep. I still think its a good mod that you made (it was a compliment - not sarcasm). I had the same frame rate drop and I ended up just reducing the size of the heightmap to just the few height points around the player rather than the whole map.

I'm sorry I've never heard of Entity and until I just googled it this was also the first time I heard of MVC Robotlegs. :)

 

I believe Scaleform is the industry standard and is professional grade. It's likely to be the most compliant in terms of ActionScript support and Flash integration/playback. Interestingly enough, most of its source code seems to have been stolen from an open source project called OpenSWF. :)

I think you mean SW_SHOWNORMAL. Have you read through this? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633548(v=vs.85).aspx, the return value of ShowWindow does not necessarily indicate an error. Also SW_SHOWNORMAL should not be called on resets, just first time initialization.

Scaleform is a good choice for UI based/Flash games


In Topic: Python Twisted Question: Return Deferred Result

Today, 01:50 AM

Did you ever figure this out?

 

I tried to follow the logic, but it looks like when you add checkLogin as a callback you don't have an opportunity to specify what the values of the parameters are. Then when checkLogin does get called back, its query_result parameter is not initialized and is set to None. Maybe I missed some subtlety of Python, but I don't see you sending parameter values into checkLogin.
