OHM Spacecraft3 to DLL&C++ converter 141006

[Artlav]

Does this one handle attachment points? I get a CTD if I try to attach one of my Spacecraft3 converted vessels to something else.

Uh, no. I haven't even considered them, never having explicitly used them myself.

 

[DaveS]

Uh, no. I haven't even considered them, never having explicitly used them myself.

OK. Could you add them? They are after all natively supported by Orbiter. Something I do miss with the SC3 attachment point function is that there's no way to jettison child vessels IOW, there's no way to specify a specific separation velocity.

Likely yes, nothing seems impossible in them.
What is IOW, what differences do you expect? Anything to improve?
I thought attachment points were different from docking points in the fact that they are module-handled? Then, what jettisoning are we talking about?

IOW = In Other Words.


Attachment points are like simplified docking ports that natively doesn't affect the parent. With docking ports, when you dock, all the vessels become part of a superstructure where some of the physical parameters get altered.

With attachment points, you have to code this yourself. Most attachment point handlers I have used only add the mass and thrust of the child to the parent.

This means that attachment/detachment functions also have been manually added into a vessels specific code.

Attachment points were added to support things like robot arms. Attachment points have another advantage to them: they do not suffer from the infamous "bounce bug" that affects docked landed vessels.

 

[Izack]

Counter-intuitively, generating a source file is harder than generating machine code.
Naive way would produce a pretty bloated one, and other option is the hard way.

Would it be able to just export thruster locations and animation definitions? That's by far the most time-consuming/least interesting part of rewriting.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Dude, you are one of the all time Master Jedi Orbiter addon gurus!

 

[tgep]

My only concern is ..... is it fully compatible with Orbiter 2006P1.

 

[Mandella]

Once attachment support is in I'll testing this out with every Greg Burch vessel on my computer.

Great job on another much needed addon!

 

[Izack]

My only concern is ..... is it fully compatible with Orbiter 2006P1.

It's not. Generated vessels appear invisible in old versions. :shrug:

 

[Arthur Dent]

Is this based on your Orbiter Shipyard? As far as I remember, it also has something like a SC3 to DLL converter.

 

[Spacethingy]

This is brilliant! Thankyou very much, this is definately useful for the Station Building Block kind of thing!

Just 2 things -

I think it's already been mentioned, but there's no aero simulation...

The original engine sounds don't get transfered.

Other than that, great idea!

 

[Artlav]

Update!

First, now it outputs C++ code as well as the DLL (sources/name directory). Careful with the names - if it's not a proper name it won't compile.

Second, lots of fixes across the board - airfoils now work, all kinds of animation glitches gone.

Third, potential attachment point support added. I have no idea how to work with them, so i just added them without testing. Please check these.

Fourth, UMMU crew is now defined at conversion time.

My only concern is ..... is it fully compatible with Orbiter 2006P1.

Uh, not a chance?
You can use the C++ output and compile it as the last resort.

Is this based on your Orbiter Shipyard? As far as I remember, it also has something like a SC3 to DLL converter.

Yes, Orbiter Shipyard got shattered as the development crawled to a halt. Some parts of it are gone, like the GUI, some are used by me, like the mesh generator, some are benefiting the community, like DLL generator and SC3 converter.

The original engine sounds don't get transfered.

Sounds? You can define sounds in SC3? Never noticed, where to look?

Also by looking at the generated sources, I noticed that the converter doesn't seem to support the robotic arm function of SC3. This is where attachment points really shine as they are capable of being slaved to animations and moved accordingly. Docking ports are static in position, direction and rotation.

 

[Artlav]

Tried the April 15 2011 release and attachment points doesn't work. Here's the INI file and scenario file:

The given INI translate to these definitions in code:
CreateAttachment(1,_V(0,-2.3,-2.3),_V(0,-1,0),_V(0,0,1),"XS",0);
CreateAttachment(0,_V(0,0,5),_V(0,1,0),_V(0,0,-1),"XS",0);
What is wrong?
I'm really not in the subject there, so help is appreciated.

Not quite a trivial feature to add, i'll have to implement the arm for that...

I'm really not in the subject there, so help is appreciated.

The second attachment point is slaved to the robotic arm function so it shouldn't be static. And problem is that the vessel doesn't show up attached to the parent vessel.

And looking at the API Reference manual, it seems like TOPARENT is supposed to be a boolean function IE TRUE or FALSE not 0 or 1.

Sounds? You can define sounds in SC3? Never noticed, where to look?

Errrr... I've no idea how they work, but sounds are provided in...

[addon zip]/Sound/Vessel/[vessel name]/

...in some addons (mainly Kev Shanow's aeroplanes).

My Bullet also has sound.

Wow, that's not a fix, but a V2.0 already ! :thumbup:

Congratulations again !

I think there should be an annual Orbiter "Nobel" prize. You and Computerex should share the first one!

It seems 0 and 1 used as booleans get parsed as false and true when compiling, but that just might just have been a freak for me. Also I didn't try it in attachment points. :shrug:

But then the same few people would get it over and over every year.

An 'addon of the month' or somesuch might be interesting, though. :hmm:
