Project MoonBaseAlpha for 2016

[gattispilot]

So the mesh is good. But when I put it in the Eagle no HUD

I might gut the code and see if something is bad

 

[francisdrake]

Would you consider uploading a working copy of the Eagle, including the source code?
Maybe we could play around with it on the weekend.

 

[gattispilot]

So here is the code and Meshes. The code needs UACS. Maybe missing textures.

 

[francisdrake]

I get pretty many compiler errors. Could it be that UACS or Eagle requires a modern compiler? I am still using VC++ 2008.

 

[gattispilot]

Yes. I think you need an updated compiler to do UACS.

BUt I got a Vessel Builder version to work. Now to get the dll version

 

[gattispilot]

In VB I get the HUD. But I have to move the camera back to see the screen. Not sure why I don't get the center section though

 

[gattispilot]

I think the EAgle code may be bad? I put the mesh in the MMSEV. And you can see the HUD. But It seems to be missing the center part with the pitch ladder.
static VCHUDSPEC huds = { 3,6, { -1, 1, 12 }, 1 }; oapiVCRegisterHUD(&huds);

 

[Voyager_]

This is all very cool & interesting. Can't wait to use it!

 

[gattispilot]

Some progress. Now we get a HUD. But I will need to adjust the font for UACS.
I saw the Dark Energy lander has the pitch ladder on the HUD. But it seems separate as you move that HUD remained steady?
Also you can look back into the front Pod.

 

[gattispilot]

So I get a hud screen. But how to get the pitch ladder to show on the HUD?

 

[gattispilot]

We get this. The HUD screen is there. But no pitch ladder? it is on the DG?
Could it be the way the HUD is drawn?

 

[gattispilot]

So progress I got the center marker.

static VCHUDSPEC huds = { 2,6, { -1.1, .5, 150.9 }, .5 }; I remade the HUD a square 1Meter square

But why the 150.9?

 

[gattispilot]

I have no clue about the HUD. I went back to 2 screens and now no HUD. I think it might be where the center is. But no idea. And it seems there are 2 parts. the part that has the compass at the top and then the pitch ladder.

I need help to figure this out.

 

[Voyager_]

What do you use to make the HUD?

 

[gattispilot]

Not sure what you are asking? But right now we have a cockpit mesh and then a VC mesh. The mesh has the mfd and hud screen meshes. then it is coded. I kinda got it. I just made a vessel with the hud and try different setting.
static VCHUDSPEC huds = { 2,6, { -1, .2, 160 }, 3 }; //sprintf(oapiDebugString(), "anim %d ", id); oapiVCRegisterHUD(&huds);

I would say the pitch ladder is strenched out on the y axis. Not sure how to zoom in on that part

 

[Buck Rogers]

is the HUD msh grp stretched?, are all transforms applied before export?

 

[gattispilot]

I thought about the stretched part. it is 2 1 meter square.

Another weird thing is the Eagle when it crashes it goes underground?
static const DWORD ntdvtx_geardown = 3; static TOUCHDOWNVTX tdvtx_geardown[ntdvtx_geardown] = { { _V(0, -3.12312, 2), 26150800, 18409627, 1.6, 0.1 }, { _V(-2, -3.12312, -2), 26150800, 18409627, 3.0, 0.2 }, { _V(2, -3.12312, -2), 26150800, 18409627, 3.0, 0.2 } };


I wonder if it has do with the size? It is set at 3 as it the whole x distance?

If I set it to 1 then it doesn't draw on the other hud mesh.

 

[Buck Rogers]

I think you need a 4th point for the top touchdown point, order is very important, also I always had to make the "sphere" larger than presumed

shouldn't the HUD be in the window? At the moment it looks like it floats free.

 

[gattispilot]

We want it in the center.
weird
static VCHUDSPEC huds = { 2,6, { -1, .5, 160 }, 160 }; this get a good pitch ladder,....

on the touchdown. where should the 4th one be?

 

[Buck Rogers]

you got the ladder working! (might 2 window HUDs like the shuttle be easier?)

I think you can have as many as you want, the last one right at the top, so 0,10,0, (it needs to be bigger than the vessel to form a sphere, but order is very tricky!

You can try these as a starting point: (also makes it a tailsitter by the way)
