DNT 1.1 For T3D MIT 3.0 Released on GitHub
by Vince Gee · 06/06/2013 (6:00 pm) · 15 comments
Hey everyone,
I just thought I'd give out the update notes for DNT 1.1 for MIT 3.0 released today. The main goal of this release is to simplify coding and reading of the C#. The end result became a syntax that through intellisense you know what member functions and variables exist on the object. You can always get the source code for DNT at github.com/WinterleafEnterainment.
And don't forget to check out the OneWorld Collaborative Tool Beta while your downloading available at www.winterleafentertainment.com.
Have a good weekend!

co<Object> <name> = <string value>
co<Object> <name> = <unsigned integer value>
co<Object> <name> = <integer value>
Example:
bGlobals[<Variable Name>] - Sets or gets a script variable as a bool sGlobals[<Variable Name>] - Sets or gets a script variable as a string iGlobals[<Variable Name>] - Sets or gets a script variable as a integer fGlobals[<Variable Name>] - Sets or gets a script variable as a float dGlobals[<Variable Name>] - Sets or gets a script variable as a double AngAxisF Box3F ColorF ColorI EaseF Point2F Point2I Point3F Point4F Polyhedron RectF RectI RectSpacingI TransformF Vector

DNT 1.1 Update Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------C++ T3D objects are now implemented in C#
The C++ InitPersist definitions in SimObjects are exposed as properties
<co<Object> instance>.<InitPersist Field> = <String>Example: DecalRoad.breakAngle = "90";
C++ Console Methods are now defined off the implemented C# class
<co<Object> instance>.<Some Console Function>(<Parameters>);Example: npc.mountImage("LurkerWeaponImage", 0, true, "");Full intellisense
Class Hierarchy` follows the same Inheritance as C++ classes
Example inheritance: coPlayerData -> coShapeBaseData->coGameBaseData->coSimDataBlock->coSimObjectMember functions are over-ridden properly through inheritance.
Declaration and Initialization of the new object typesco<Object> <name> = <string value>
Example: coSimSet path = npc["path"];
co<Object> <name> = <unsigned integer value>
Example: uint targetnode = datablock["targetNode"].AsUint();
co<Object> <name> = <integer value>
Example: coShapeBaseData datablock = shapebase.getDataBlock();
Properties of the object can be referenced using []
Example: npc["HoldAndFire"] = false.AsString();Functions can now take the co<Object> types as parameters
Example:
[Torque_Decorations.TorqueCallBack("", "AIPlayer", "getNearestPlayerTarget", "(%this)", 1, 2500, false)]
public int AIPlayergetNearestPlayerTarget(coAIPlayer npc)Global variables now have shorthand notation
C# Containers have been expanded and now include:
Added C++ for AI detection to speed up finding targets using coAIPlayer
Function Name: AISearchSimSetParameters:
Viewing Angle
Distance
SimSet of coPlayers to search
SimSet to return what is found
Example: npc.AISearchSimSet(180, 50, MobSearchGroup, MobSearchGroupResult);

btw, did you see my answer to your thread about transferring strings between server and client?

Yes, I haven't tried it out yet though. I'll probably do so later today after I play around with blender some more.

but is there any change you can provide a getting started instructions for DNT?
so far i have not been able to get it running.
went to:
https://github.com/WinterleafEnterainment/DNT-Torque3D-V1.1-MIT-3.0
and downloaded a copy.
downloaded http://mit.garagegames.com/T3DProjectManager-1.1.zip
and extracted it to DNT-Torque3D-V1.1-MIT-3.0
created new project "Empty" project from template
but the project manager could not generate solution.
missing ToolsprojectGeneratortemplates_c
so i downloaded T3D MIT 3 and copied ToolsprojectGeneratortemplates_c
to DNT-Torque3D-V1.1-MIT-3.0ToolsprojectGenerator
so now i dont get the templates_c error,
but now i get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function addSolutionProjectRefFirst() in DNT-Torque3D-V1.1-MIT-3.0-masterToolsprojectGeneratorlibsdntempty.conf on line 28
so i put aside the empty project and i generated a new "Full" project from "Full" template from project manager and with the above fixes i got the solution project to generate ok,
so i build the solution in VS2010 and i successfully build solution:
========== Build: 3 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 18 skipped ==========
so, do i merge these 3 new releases into my project?
or do i merge the whole solution? been messing with it for the past few hours but no success, and getting a little but frustrated
Am i missing some steps here?
is this supposed to be merged with the actual core?
I have looked in your site for instructions but could not find any, there is an owner manual pdf file but it is dated and do not help me much with this new MIT version repos.
any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks in advanced.

It's fixed now, not sure how it got broken.

when i try to create a new empty project i get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function addSolutionProjectRefFirst() in C:\Users\Username\Documents\DNT-Torque3D-V1.1-MIT-3.0-master\Tools\projectGenerator\libs\dntempty.conf on line 28
still cant create a project from empty template.
and also when creating a project from full template when i compile i get 3
projects built succeeded but when i try to run it i get crash from the .exe

is there something else i need to do after i build the the DNT FPS Demo.exe,DNT FPS Demo Game Dll.dll and DotNetTorque.dll
do i need to merge that with my current fps demo project?
am i supposed to build the core separate? ???
i am very confused, and i am not new to torque.
i must be missing something here.
can you please elaborate on the steps to get it going?
thanks again.

I know that bug, let me take a look

#10
I tried opening DNT FPS Demo No Core.csproj and got this:
"Warning 1 The referenced component 'DotNetTorque' could not be found."
"Warning 2 The referenced component 'DNT FPS Demo Game Dll No Core' could not be found."
Also, I think Express won't load c# projects mixed with c++.

Does this work with visual studio express?I tried opening DNT FPS Demo No Core.csproj and got this:
"Warning 1 The referenced component 'DotNetTorque' could not be found."
"Warning 2 The referenced component 'DNT FPS Demo Game Dll No Core' could not be found."
Also, I think Express won't load c# projects mixed with c++.

First you branched off github.com/WinterleafEnterainment/DNT-Torque3D-V1.1-MIT-3.0?
Second, when you used the project generator what type of project did you pick?
I would think this will work in VSE.

3.0 Full. Empty will compile but the problem is the MSVSE won't load projects with mixed code types, only C++ or C#.
#13
For MSVSE you might have to set up the C++ and C# projects to be compiled separately and reference each other.

I am not sure what happened with the referenced component warnings, I tried again and couldn't reproduce it. I probably broke something.For MSVSE you might have to set up the C++ and C# projects to be compiled separately and reference each other.

@Entr0py that would be if your using VS2012, VS2010 should be able to have both C# and C++ projects in 1 solution.
