I seen this in SVN and had to share it here. The ODE physics engine was officially implemented in Darkplaces today and appears to be nicely working Looks very good and is far less laggy than Twig from what I heard. It's still experimental and disabled by default, but apart from the bouncing and lag everything seem to be good. Nexuiz is finally going to have its long dreamed physics engine now

If anyone wants to test this, you can easily do so by doing the following:

1 - Download this archive (alt link) and unpack it in the main Nexuiz folder (choose to overwrite if asked). Should work with both 2.5.2 and SVN.

2 - Start Nexuiz via the executable included in that archive.

3 - Go to Settings -> Input and at the bottom of the key mapping list select an empty userbind and click Edit. Under 'Command when pressed' write +button8 and for 'Command when released' use -button8, then bind the new mapping to any key you wish.

4 - Open the console and set 'sv_cheats 1' then 'map pb_phystest1' (without the ''s).

5 - Enjoy Use the new key binding to pick up physical objects and drag them around.

Wow, that is great!

Awesome stuff.

I am really looking forward to seeing all the new features that will build off of this.

btw: recorded with slowmo 0.1, as the physics collisions seem to be excaggarated then

in lack of words other than excellent work devs and WOW!!

Wow its great...and works with each model
but can you make that shots, jumppads and forcefields (trigger_impulse) can move them.
also players should be able to push the models and if a model hit a player the force could be the damage? (player got hit from 1 by 100mph/kmh or whatever and get 50% (50hp) damage)

would be cool and i know that its just testing and so an but i just want to give you some suggestions

lg,
sven

WAYNE! ...i also tried to make a new map with func wall but they are floating through the map
(with these platforms) but it doesnt work...

Download the .map

You currently cannot stand on ODE objects. Known issue, no idea how to solve.

oh but the objects was thrown away before i land on it.

another thing may be that the objects need to be models, or have an origin brush inside them. Otherwise stuff like on my video happens

It is too cool to be true to include ODE in nexuiz. Awesome and fantastic. I hope this will come official and enabled by default when all problem resolved. Also a lot of new maps are needed.

O h m y g o d... I'm speechless. A huge thank you to devs for this VERY important feature!But I've two questions:
1is it possible to run it under Linux?
2 I've seen in your video, FruitieX, that you've soft shadows enabled, how can I set them?

Linux? I think ODE is a cross-platform lib. If we have source of patched darkplace. We can use it.

Just grab the code from SVN and compile against a recent ODE (it compiles with older versions too, but doesn't work).

1. As far as I know any feature in Nexuiz that works in Windows also works under Linux and the other way around. As for ODE itself it is cross-platform... I know another project that uses it and is commonly ran and developed under Linux.

And 2. They can be enabled from the Effects menu under Realtime World Lightning. They're only implemented in SVN currently, and don't work for r_shadows just dynamic lightning based shadows.

And a huge thanks to the devs indeed... this is totally awesome

But FruitieX's is longer

are there other movetypes then 32 ? (mean the realistic ones)

Sven wrote:are there other movetypes then 32 ? (mean the realistic ones)

Nope.

4 valid solid types (4 = trimesh, 32 = box, 33 = sphere, 34 = capsule - in all cases these are automatically sized and offset to match the bounds of the entity)
1 valid movetype (32 = physics)

No constraints implemented yet.

P.S. sphere must have the same width/height/depth, and capsule must have two sides equal and one longer

@LordHavoc: ok

how can i make those slowly physics platform without realistic physict and they are like doors, how?

but its awesome and who made this music?

LordHavoc wrote:No constraints implemented yet.

What are you planning on doing with constraints in the future?

Map 'brushes', ragdolls, dynamic walk cycles, all of the above?

Thx!I'll try it immediately! But, sorry for the noob question, I've to point to the ode path in the darkplaces make file?

All I know is that you need to enable the ODE flag at compile time, since it's disabled by default currently. That is DP_ODE_STATIC_LIBDIR=/usr/lib

Since I use Windows, my mingw + msys build cmd is: make DP_MAKE_TARGET=mingw DP_ODE_STATIC_LIBDIR=/usr/lib CC="gcc -I/d/Tools/MinGW/include/darkplaces" cl-nexuiz

Thanks a lot MirceaKitsune! I copied your makefile.inc command, and modified a bit, it works also on linux! I used:

Code: Select all

make DP_MAKE_TARGET=linux DP_ODE_STATIC_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib cl-nexuiz

Than I installed libode from synaptics (version 0.9)and Nexuiz crashed with a huge list of XYZ error and a "segmentation fault" at the end.
Then I downloaded the most updated version from ode.org (version 0.11.1), i compiled and installed on /usr/local/lib, I pointed at this path in the above command and once compiled, it works!

Now, the only problem is that, physics works, so you can take objects and throw them down, but, objects rotate along their Z axis as they would be "possessed"! They makes little rotations in a second, then they stop, then they start again and so on!
My O.S is ubuntu 8.04 and it's a bit old. And my processor is an Athlox XP (very old)and a geforce 8800 gts
There's someone who knows the problem?

PS:I'll try to make a video of what I described!

Anyway, too curious not to ask: Now that there's a physics engine, are ragdoll physics possible to implement? Also are there any plans for wheeled vehicles after the Spiderbot? I always dreamed to see something like UT2k4s Scorpion in Nexuiz
