I've been playing with ODE the last few weeks I am thoroughly impressed
with its capabilities, but I've noticed some things don't play nice and
thought I'd message the mailing list on the topic.
I've been trying to get the AutoDisable stuff working, but it seems some
of it hasn't been implemented in the release and not in CVS either. I
then found this post from Aras P.:
http://www.q12.org/pipermail/ode/2003-July/009359.html
I did as he suggested and it broke my simulation (nothing appeared to be
colliding or resolving from collisions). I blame my own incompetence,
but I was unable to get it to work. So, having exhausted my own avenues,
could someone give me a pointer or two? Is there somewhere that this
code is implemented and I'm just not seeing it? Should I just wait until
someone patches this into CVS? When would that happen? (Sorry for the
barrage of questions).
Also, on a side note, what is the process for integrating "contribs"? Is
there a reason that breakable joints and flat-cylinder stuff hasn't been
integrated into the main source (ie: are they generally safe to use?)
(That question is purely out of curiosity).
And, while we're at it, I noticed that the cylinder contrib doesn't yet
do Cylinder vs. Trimesh collisions.. Is there someone working on this?
If someone wanted to try and write a solution for this, how would one go
about doing it? Is it possible for someone like me who has a distinct
fear of (and very personal hatred for) 3d math?
Thanks for all your insight!
