So this makes a MMU guy. But not sure how to get the guy back in.

That should be pretty straightforward:

• listen to docking events (clbkDockEvent)
• If the docked vessel is an MMU, delete it

[gattispilot]

refocused.


And I got the mmu part to work. We are going to try to have 3 eva guys. So 3 sets of keys. Eva guy1 -E eva guy 2 -W and eva guy 3. That way 3 different mesh/guys are made and created.

New issue. We have noticed when we eva. It makes a NASAMMu vessel. Switch focus to the mmu vessel. BUT when you apply thrust the shuttle rcs fire.

No idea where to look in the code.

focus is on the MMU. but when I press the rcs control for the mmu the shuttles fire.

So got that fixed.
I was a left over piece from the Ascentmfd.

I think for for variations the mass, fuel amount may need to be read from the scn?

Thanks for all the help

[gattispilot]

So I was able to add the new rms into the shuttle. BUt having an issue with code.

I can get the attachment to follow the animation.

	rms_attach = CreateAttachment (false, arm_tip[0], arm_tip[1]-arm_tip[0], arm_tip[2]-arm_tip[0], "G", true);

rms_anim[6] = new MGROUP_ROTATE(LOCALVERTEXLIST, MAKEGROUPARRAY(arm_tip), 3,
		_V(-2.59965, 2.010648, -6.343711), _V(0, 0, 1), (float)(894 * RAD));

Then I have the anim rms ee follow the wrist animation state

lse if (SendDlgItemMessage (hWnd, IDC_WRIST_ROLLLEFT, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) & BST_PUSHED) {
				sts->arm_wr = max (0.0, sts->arm_wr - (t1-t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);
				sts->SetAnimationArm (sts->anim_arm_wr, sts->arm_wr);
				sts->arm_wr = max(0.0, sts->arm_wr - (t1 - t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);

				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_rms_ee, sts->arm_wr);
			} else if (SendDlgItemMessage (hWnd, IDC_WRIST_ROLLRIGHT, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) & BST_PUSHED) {
				sts->arm_wr = min (1.0, sts->arm_wr + (t1-t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);
				sts->SetAnimationArm (sts->anim_arm_wr, sts->arm_wr);
				sts->arm_wr = max(0.0, sts->arm_wr - (t1 - t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);

				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_rms_ee, sts->arm_wr);

[gattispilot]

so reading the API

Instead of adding mesh groups to an animation, it is also possible to add a
local VECTOR3 array. To do this, set “mesh” to LOCALVERTEXLIST, and
set “grp” to MAKEGROUPARRAY(vtxptr), where vtxptr is the VECTOR3
array. “ngrp” is set to the number of vertices in the array. Example:
VECTOR3 vtx[2] = {_V(0,0,0), _V(1,0,-1)};
MGROUP_TRANSFORM *mt = new MGROUP_TRANSFORM (LOCALVERTEXLIST,
MAKEGROUPARRAY(vtx), 2);
AddAnimationComponent (anim, 0, 1, mt);
Transforming local vertices in this way does not have an effect on the visual
appearance of the animation, but it can be used by the module to keep track
of a transformed point during animation. The Atlantis module uses this
method to track a grappled satellite during animation of the RMS arm.

So the red 3 in my code is the number of vertices, correct.

So are the vertices the joints? in a rms arm?

[gattispilot]

So the goal was to make more shuttles. I found that by just coding thew shuttle we can use ms2015 for launches. Then the user may select which srb, et,......

2 versions. #1 Columbia with "old" rms, no ODS
#2 Constellation with new RMs

Both have cameras and rms camera and lights.

But recently I noticed an BIG issue. either the cockpit or VC mesh gets shifted.



from this cockpit view you can see the window frame are no matching up.


I have switched the meshes and no change. I was thinking I moved them

Any ideas? As far as I have seen no shift mesh commands.

I have commented out all animations.

I added a remade shuttle and the same result.

Not sure if this is a bug or not.
The default Atlantis is forward of the cockpit mesh. The vc is the highlighted mesh.


That why the bars are shown in the vc. I ran this in another Orbiter 2016 and the same. and confirm by another user.

Still no idea why the vc is extending into the shuttle bay.

[Donamy]

Can you turn of the VC mesh when you are displaying outside view ?

[gattispilot]

Yes


and

hOrbiterMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("Atlantis\\Atlantis");
	hOrbiterCockpitMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("Atlantis\\AtlantisCockpit");
	hOrbiterVCMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("Atlantis\\AtlantisVC");

	// Load meshes
	mesh_cockpit = AddMesh(hOrbiterCockpitMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_cockpit, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL);

	mesh_orbiter = AddMesh(hOrbiterMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_orbiter, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL | MESHVIS_VC | MESHVIS_EXTPASS);

	mesh_vc = AddMesh(hOrbiterVCMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_vc, MESHVIS_VC | MESHVIS_EXTERNAL);

[Donamy]

So, does that solve the problem ?

[gattispilot]

No. The default Atlantis is like that.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

So if I do this. Then the vc doesn't come thru the cargobay.

	mesh_cockpit = AddMesh(hOrbiterCockpitMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_cockpit, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL);
	
	mesh_orbiter = AddMesh(hOrbiterMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_orbiter, MESHVIS_ALWAYS | MESHVIS_VC );

	mesh_vc = AddMesh(hOrbiterVCMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_vc, MESHVIS_ALWAYS | MESHVIS_VC );

But because the VC doesn't match the main mesh there are issues. So I main need to make the cockpit mesh which does fit the vc mesh also with the mfd,........

[gattispilot]

So I redid the vc. But there seems to be a vc-hires and a lo one. Not sure why?

Got the front mfd to work. Thinking about the aft one to make it on the aft wall.

The one function I can't get to work or see the difference was the mfd bright function

[gattispilot]

Ok last but not least

RMS dialogue box. I can add the store/recall boxes.

But not sure how to code them.

I think the save state is stored in the scn. Then when you press read you open the scn and get the values and then like stow it follows a set sequence

[gattispilot]

I have run into a major issue with the vc.

So the mfd and screen have the same texture "label.dds". The screen are id as cdr1,cdr2,....

But the labels for the mfd not.

So I get the cdr1 to work but the cdr2 screen shows but not the label,....

bool Atlantis::clbkLoadVC (int id)

In my vc mesh labels is the 14th texture.

TEXTURES 14
Atlantis/R1L1.dds
Atlantis/c3.dds
Atlantis/A8top.dds
Atlantis/R2.dds
Atlantis/c2.dds
Atlantis/clocknums.dds
Atlantis/A8bottom.dds
Atlantis/STSVC01.dds
Atlantis/STSVC02.dds
Atlantis/STSVC03.dds
Atlantis/r13l.dds
Atlantis/talkback.dds
Atlantis/GPC.dds
Atlantis/label.dds D

So int he Atlantis mesh definition notice the mfd are in sequence

// Named mesh groups:
#define GRP_CDR1_VC 33
#define GRP_CDR2_VC 34
#define GRP_PLT1_VC 35
#define GRP_PLT2_VC 36
#define GRP_MFD1_VC 37
#define GRP_MFD2_VC 38
#define GRP_MFD3_VC 39
#define GRP_MFD4_VC 40
#define GRP_MFD5_VC 41
#define GRP_MFD_aft_VC 42

Then come the labels.

But might are not

#define GRP_mesh45 360
#define GRP_CDR1_VC 361
#define GRP_mesh46 362
#define GRP_CDR2_VC 363
#define GRP_mesh47 364
#define GRP_PLT1_VC 365
#define GRP_mesh48 366
#define GRP_PLT2_VC 367
#define GRP_mesh49 368
#define GRP_MFD1_VC 369
#define GRP_mesh50 370
#define GRP_MFD2_VC 371
#define GRP_mesh51 372
#define GRP_MFD3_VC 373
#define GRP_mesh52 374
#define GRP_MFD4_VC 375
#define GRP_mesh53 376
#define GRP_MFD5_VC 377
#define GRP_mesh54 378
#define GRP_MFD_AFT_VC 379

in my the label comes first. No ideas how to fix this with using notepad and move the mesh groups around?

---------- Post added 03-07-18 at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 03-06-18 at 07:22 PM ----------

Fixed it. Just rearrange the groups. But got the left and right mfd to adjust the brightest. But can't get the center section to change. I am setting the vc touch arear in the right x,y area not so much about the z. I tried on the surface but it didn't work. The Atlantis looked like it was above the surface?

[gattispilot]

So closer.

So if the ODS is present we want the eva hatch to open on the ODS not the shuttle

But I get a CTD when I try to open in.

static UINT extodsDoorGrp[2] = { 0,7};
	static MGROUP_ROTATE newextodsDoor(3, extodsDoorGrp, 2,	_V(0, -.9320414, 12.04634), _V(1, 0, 0), (float)(-120 * RAD));
	anim_extodsdoor = CreateAnimation(0);
	AddAnimationComponent(anim_extodsdoor, 0.0, 0.4632, &newextodsDoor);

The ODS is number 3 in the mesh order.

	hOrbiterMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("2016SPACESHUTTLE\\Columbia\\Columbia2016B");
	hOrbiterCockpitMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("2016SPACESHUTTLE\\Columbia\\ColumbiaCockpit");
	hOrbiterVCMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("2016SPACESHUTTLE\\Columbia\\ColumbiaVC5A");
	hOrbiterODSMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("2016SPACESHUTTLE\\Columbia\\ODS");

So if I have this a ctd:

if (ODS_status = 1)SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_ODS, MESHVIS_ALWAYS);//ODS PRESENT SHOW MESH
	SetGearParameters (gear_proc);
	if (ODS_status==0)SetAnimation(anim_extdoor, EXT_proc);// ODS NOT PRESENT OPEN WALL HATCH
	if (ODS_status == 1)SetAnimation(anim_extodsdoor, EXT_proc);//ODS PRESENT OPEN ODS HATCH

and in the scn:
ODS 1
HATCH 1 1.0000


If i make the animation state 0.000 then no ctd

[gattispilot]

So now I have run into a ctd when I go to VC.

When I run the debugger i get a break at ddraw.dll

[gattispilot]

Getting closer. I have run into this. The bright/dim.

	// handle MFD brightness buttons
	case AID_CDR1_BRT:
	case AID_CDR2_BRT:
	case AID_PLT1_BRT:
	case AID_PLT2_BRT:
	case AID_MFD1_BRT:
	case AID_MFD2_BRT:
	case AID_MFD3_BRT: 
	case AID_MFD4_BRT: 
	case AID_MFD5_BRT:
	case AID_MFDA_BRT: {
		static double t0, brt0;
		static bool up;
		int mfd = id-AID_CDR1_BRT;
		if (event & PANEL_MOUSE_LBDOWN) {
			up = (p.x >= 0.5);
			t0 = oapiGetSysTime();
			brt0 = mfdbright[mfd];
		} else if (event & PANEL_MOUSE_LBPRESSED) {
			double dt = oapiGetSysTime()-t0;
			double brt, dbrt = dt * 0.2;
			if (up) brt = min (1.0, brt0 + dbrt);
			else    brt = max (0.25, brt0 - dbrt);
			mfdbright[mfd] = brt;
			if (vis) {
				MATERIAL mat;
				memset (&mat, 0, sizeof(MATERIAL));
				mat.emissive.r = mat.emissive.g = mat.emissive.b = (float)brt;
				mat.emissive.a = 1.0f;
				DEVMESHHANDLE hMesh = GetDevMesh (vis, mesh_vc);
				oapiSetMaterial (hMesh, 17+mfd, &mat);
			}
		}
		} return false;

So as I understand it it changes the material setting.

But all that changes is the labels not the actual display
