Opcode/Polysoup help

by James Laker (BurNinG) · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 09/18/2007 (1:52 am) · 4 replies

For some reason I'm unable to get this working with TGEA 1.02.

I'm getting the following errors in tsMesh.cpp:
...
error C2065: 'TSStaticPolysoupConvex' : undeclared identifier	c:\Torque\TGEA_1_0_2\engine\ts\tsMesh.cpp
error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'TSStaticPolysoupConvex'	c:\Torque\TGEA_1_0_2\engine\ts\tsMesh.cpp
...

And is found at this line:
TSStaticPolysoupConvex *chunkc = static_cast<TSStaticPolysoupConvex*>(itr->mConvex);

Here are steps I've taken, which I assume is correct, since the problem is not with the opcode calls itself.
1) From the Polysoup.rar I extracted the the Opcode directory to my lib folder.
2) I've added the Opcode project to my TGEA SDK Solution.
3) Added the opcode.lib the Additional Dependencies under Properties->Linker->Input.
4) Added the opcode path to to Additional Include Directories in Properties -> C/C++
5) Made the changes to tsShapeInstance, tsCollision, Convex, tsMesh, tsStatic files.

I'm using Visual Studio 2005.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx

A quick search I was able to find the TSStaticPolysoupConvex class in TGEA\engine\game\tsStatic.h. I'm guessing you'll need to merge the changes from these various source files into your own source to get it working properly. Some sort of merging tool would probably be helpful. If you already did that, you may simply need to include the tsStatic.h in your tsMesh.cpp file(assuming it's not included somewhere from another file, which I can't easily check).

Thanx Ross,
Sometimes I just need a good ol whack against the head...

You were right... just needed this in tsMesh.cpp at the top:
#include "game/tsStatic.h"

Hopefully this saves someone the headache.

I spent the past week attempting to hand merge the proper code with 1.0.3. Unfortunately, even though I was able to get it to compile, once in game it would crash. I was using WinMerge, but I had trouble with some of the differences in the code.
Anyway, if anyone has the correctly merged files or a compiled .exe, would it be possible to email them to me?

Thanks.

This is the best I've been able to manage from VS 2003 Professional and TGEA 1.0.3:

\Dev\Torque\PTGEA\engine\ts\tsMesh.cpp(430): error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'GFXTexHandle *' to 'GFXTextureObject *'
