I recently have been using Torque 3D 3.5 in WINE on Linux so I can utilize Bryce's incredible Tactical AI Kit. Nothing would make me happier then getting TAIK to work natively in Linux. Looking at the changes, it may be possible even in 3,10. I could continue in 3.5 but there are some issues with using WINE, crashes and what not, though performance is surprisingly good.

My questions is basically, how do I add new files to the Engine if I can't use the Project Solution from Visual Studio?

How do I add files,filters and existing items using CMAKE?

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

https://github.com/Azaezel/Torque3D/blo ... _afx.cmake that'd be one way.

[Jason Campbell]

Thanks, that might work. Plus, I was wondering exactly how to add modules anyway.

The reason it might not work is that, there is a folder named recast inside of a folder named nav and his example in Visual studio has recast nested in nav, as "filters". I thought I had it set up in Code::Blocks but I can't do it again.

Anyway, just to clarify, I could add afx using CMAKE GUI or by editing CMakeCache.txt?

Thanks for responding.

[Azaezel]

That method above adds a (pre-flipped) flag to cmake gui. Recast is already included in head, so won't need to do so twice.

[Jason Campbell]

OK now I get it. I also think I'm beginning to understand why they are called filters. The Tactical AI Kit must use a modified recast.

I'll look more Intel VS and what is meant by filters.

[Jason Campbell]

God, I'm so close to getting this working.

Originally Bryce said that any NavMesh and Recast will work fine as long as NavMesh is called Mesh1.

Well I finally got it to Build with 0 errors and everything seems to work except the NavMesh is not seen. The AI tries to walk the NavPath but fails. Here is the error

Code: Select all

I saw this error in an old GG post of Daniel's and tried his suggestion of changing mTypeMask |= StaticShapeObjectType | MarkerObjectType; to mTypeMask |= MarkerObjectType; but that didn't fix it.

This is killing me. Any suggestion, please.



One other thing. I'm getting a crash every so often

Code: Select all

Torque3D-3.10/Engine/source/core/stream/bitStream.cpp(339,0): {Fatal} - BitStream::writeInt: value out of range: -23/128 (7 bits)

I searched and it seems to be a network problem? I'm not checking my network when it occurs. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.

Thank you

[Azaezel]

Well, I can say -23/128 (7 bits) report tells us you're sending something along the network that expects a 7 bit range of 0-128, and it thinks youre trying to feed it a -23 (could be that, or could be wrapping. Half the reason for throwing that in for folks a while back was it used to be a silent network leak that would corrupt other stuff down the line. With that, should be able to turn up the exact cause with a stack trace.)

[Jason Campbell]

Don't mean to be a pain but could you point in the direction of how to go about doing a stack trace?

I used to be able to debug with Torsion but doesn't work with linux.

Thanks

http://darkdust.net/files/GDB%20Cheat%20Sheet.pdf cheat sheet
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D ... .cpp#L1399 and you'll be looking for a line along those lines ( note the 7 bit length specification matching the error report.)

[Jason Campbell]

I can't believe but it appears I have everything working correctly. I didn't think I would get this far really. I seemed to have squashed the other "value out range" problems but have a new one and I'm going mad. I haven't slept well in days. Okay.

This is the new one

Engine/source/core/stream/bitStream.cpp(339,0): {Fatal} - BitStream::writeInt: value out of range: -1/64 (6 bits)

I'm pretty sure it stems from this in player.cpp

stream->writeSignedFloat(fTranquilized, 6);

It seems to be a variable that effects speed while the players are zoomed and it crashes almost every time when I'm getting melee'd by an AIPlayer.

I'm just going to post the snippets from everywhere I can find it. Maybe if someone can think of a work around to keep it a positive number or something. It seems to be consistently fatal with a -1 value.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
