General Question Atlantis recompile

gattispilot · Feb 4, 2018

Yes. I looked at the code. It builds the tank and srb when added. So one can't just add the vessel. You can't just add a MS2015 either.

So if we go with MS2015. I may try and just make the shuttle part seperate and apart of tank and srbs.

On the shuttle going to add the improved rms. I might also add lights for the crago bay an eva.

So. I copied over the whole Atlantis solution and then remove parts. all the tank, srb and ascent mfd. This was because we are going to just the shuttle part with MS2015.

So the question is how to determine either airfoils or rcs?

Code:

Atlantis::Atlantis (OBJHANDLE hObj, int fmodel)

	engine_light->SetIntensityRef (&engine_light_level);

	LoadMeshes();
	reset_sat       = false;
	render_cockpit  = false;

	for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		mfdbright[i] = 1.0;

	// propellant resources
	ph_oms  = CreatePropellantResource (ORBITER_MAX_PROPELLANT_MASS); // OMS propellant
	SetDefaultPropellantResource (ph_oms); // display OMS tank level in generic HUD

	// Orbiter engines	
	CreateSSME(); // main thrusters

Right now in space the RCS fires and the control surfaces move, which is wrong. Not sure what tells it to stop rcs and use control surfaces or use control surfaces and no rcs?

So i am just using the shuttle part not the et, srbs.

Removed ODS and added the new RMS arm.

I basically used the existing rms code and changed the mesh names and axis points. Added the rms camera stuff.

Well, you could either look long and hard at the code and try to figure out what is amiss,

or

you could run it in the debugger to see where the CTD occurs and figure it out from there.

The second method is much faster and easier.

gattispilot · Feb 13, 2018

Thanks. I guess I should put a break in the code where it reads the input from the dialogue window? I am thinking it is something in the animation set up.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

Well here is something I need help in:

Code:

void Atlantis::SeparateMMU (void)
{
	// Create MMU at docking port
	DOCKHANDLE hDock = GetDockHandle (0);
	if (GetDockStatus(hDock)) return; // something is already attached to this docking port

	int i;
	char name[256];
	OBJHANDLE hVessel;
	for (i = 0; ; i++) {
		sprintf (name, "%s-MMU-%d", GetName(), i+1);
		hVessel = oapiGetVesselByName(name);
		if (!hVessel) break;
	}

	VESSELSTATUS vs;
	GetStatus (vs);
	hMMU = oapiCreateVessel (name, "Nasa_MMU", vs);
	Dock (hMMU, 0, 0, 1);
	oapiSetFocusObject (hMMU);
}

So this makes a MMU guy. But not sure how to get the guy back in.
When it make the guy this is what it looks like:

END

Code:

void Atlantis::ENTER_MMU(void)
{
	//if ((HATCH_proc > .8) && (EVA = 1)){
	if (EXT_proc == 1){//hatch open
		// Create MMU at docking port
		DOCKHANDLE hDock = GetDockHandle(1);
		if (GetDockStatus(hDock)) return; // something is already attached to this docking port

		for (DWORD i = 0; i < oapiGetVesselCount(); i++) {
			OBJHANDLE hV = oapiGetVesselByIndex(i);    //get handle for ship
			// if (strncmp (hV->GetVesselByName(), "OBLIVIONBIKE1", 12)!=0  ){
			OBJHANDLE Focusvessel = oapiGetVesselByName("Nasa_MMU");


			oapiDeleteVessel(Focusvessel);
			//SetMeshVisibilityMode(MMUMeshUINT, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL);
			//EVA = 0;
			//oapiSetFocusObject(hMMU);
		}
		//}
	}
}

Does that mean you have fixed your CTD problem, or have you given up on that?

So this makes a MMU guy. But not sure how to get the guy back in.

That should be pretty straightforward:

listen to docking events (clbkDockEvent)
If the docked vessel is an MMU, delete it

gattispilot · Feb 15, 2018

refocused.

And I got the mmu part to work. We are going to try to have 3 eva guys. So 3 sets of keys. Eva guy1 -E eva guy 2 -W and eva guy 3. That way 3 different mesh/guys are made and created.

---------- Post added 02-14-18 at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was 02-13-18 at 07:41 AM ----------

New issue. We have noticed when we eva. It makes a NASAMMu vessel. Switch focus to the mmu vessel. BUT when you apply thrust the shuttle rcs fire.

No idea where to look in the code.

So got that fixed.
I was a left over piece from the Ascentmfd.

I think for for variations the mass, fuel amount may need to be read from the scn?

Thanks for all the help

gattispilot · Feb 19, 2018

So I was able to add the new rms into the shuttle. BUt having an issue with code.

I can get the attachment to follow the animation.

stowed

Code:

arm_tip[0] = _V(-2.607,2,-6.344);
	arm_tip[1] = _V(-2.607,2,-7.344);
	arm_tip[2] = _V(-2.607,1,-6.344);

	sat_attach = CreateAttachment (false, ofs_sts_sat, _V(0,1,0), _V(0,0,1), "X");
	rms_attach = CreateAttachment (false, arm_tip[0], arm_tip[1]-arm_tip[0], arm_tip[2]-arm_tip[0], "G", true);

rms arm animation

Code:

void Atlantis::UpdateMesh ()
{
	// update animation states
	SetAnimation (anim_gear, gear_proc);
	SetAnimation (anim_spdb, spdb_proc);
	SetAnimation (anim_door, plop->BayDoorStatus.pos);
	SetAnimation (anim_rad,  plop->RadiatorStatus.pos);
	SetAnimation (anim_kubd, plop->KuAntennaStatus.pos);

	SetAnimationArm (anim_arm_sy, arm_sy);

	hAC_arm = AddAnimationComponent(anim_rms_ee, 0, 1, rms_anim[6], parent);

So not sure what this number red'3" should be?

Code:

rms_anim[6] = new MGROUP_ROTATE(LOCALVERTEXLIST, MAKEGROUPARRAY(arm_tip), [COLOR="Red"]3[/COLOR],
		_V(-2.59965, 2.010648, -6.343711), _V(0, 0, 1), (float)(894 * RAD));

Then I have the anim rms ee follow the wrist animation state

Code:

lse if (SendDlgItemMessage (hWnd, IDC_WRIST_ROLLLEFT, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) & BST_PUSHED) {
				sts->arm_wr = max (0.0, sts->arm_wr - (t1-t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);
				sts->SetAnimationArm (sts->anim_arm_wr, sts->arm_wr);
				sts->arm_wr = max(0.0, sts->arm_wr - (t1 - t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);

				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_rms_ee, sts->arm_wr);
			} else if (SendDlgItemMessage (hWnd, IDC_WRIST_ROLLRIGHT, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0) & BST_PUSHED) {
				sts->arm_wr = min (1.0, sts->arm_wr + (t1-t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);
				sts->SetAnimationArm (sts->anim_arm_wr, sts->arm_wr);
				sts->arm_wr = max(0.0, sts->arm_wr - (t1 - t0)*ARM_OPERATING_SPEED);

				sts->SetAnimationArm(sts->anim_rms_ee, sts->arm_wr);

gattispilot · Feb 20, 2018

so reading the API

Code:

Instead of adding mesh groups to an animation, it is also possible to add a
local VECTOR3 array. To do this, set “mesh” to LOCALVERTEXLIST, and
set “grp” to MAKEGROUPARRAY(vtxptr), where vtxptr is the VECTOR3
array. “ngrp” is set to the number of vertices in the array. Example:
VECTOR3 vtx[2] = {_V(0,0,0), _V(1,0,-1)};
MGROUP_TRANSFORM *mt = new MGROUP_TRANSFORM (LOCALVERTEXLIST,
MAKEGROUPARRAY(vtx), 2);
AddAnimationComponent (anim, 0, 1, mt);
Transforming local vertices in this way does not have an effect on the visual
appearance of the animation, but it can be used by the module to keep track
of a transformed point during animation. The Atlantis module uses this
method to track a grappled satellite during animation of the RMS arm.

So the red 3 in my code is the number of vertices, correct.

So are the vertices the joints? in a rms arm?

gattispilot · Mar 1, 2018

So the goal was to make more shuttles. I found that by just coding thew shuttle we can use ms2015 for launches. Then the user may select which srb, et,......

2 versions. #1 Columbia with "old" rms, no ODS
#2 Constellation with new RMs

Both have cameras and rms camera and lights.

But recently I noticed an BIG issue. either the cockpit or VC mesh gets shifted.

from this cockpit view you can see the window frame are no matching up.

I have switched the meshes and no change. I was thinking I moved them

Any ideas? As far as I have seen no shift mesh commands.

I have commented out all animations.

I added a remade shuttle and the same result.

---------- Post added 03-01-18 at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was 02-28-18 at 07:14 AM ----------

Not sure if this is a bug or not.
The default Atlantis is forward of the cockpit mesh. The vc is the highlighted mesh.

That why the bars are shown in the vc. I ran this in another Orbiter 2016 and the same. and confirm by another user.

Still no idea why the vc is extending into the shuttle bay.

Donamy · Mar 1, 2018

Can you turn of the VC mesh when you are displaying outside view ?

gattispilot · Mar 2, 2018

Yes

and

Code:

hOrbiterMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("Atlantis\\Atlantis");
	hOrbiterCockpitMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("Atlantis\\AtlantisCockpit");
	hOrbiterVCMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("Atlantis\\AtlantisVC");

	// Load meshes
	mesh_cockpit = AddMesh(hOrbiterCockpitMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_cockpit, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL);

	mesh_orbiter = AddMesh(hOrbiterMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_orbiter, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL | MESHVIS_VC | MESHVIS_EXTPASS);

	mesh_vc = AddMesh(hOrbiterVCMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_vc, MESHVIS_VC | MESHVIS_EXTERNAL);

Donamy · Mar 2, 2018

So, does that solve the problem ?

gattispilot · Mar 2, 2018

No. The default Atlantis is like that.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

So if I do this. Then the vc doesn't come thru the cargobay.

Code:

	mesh_cockpit = AddMesh(hOrbiterCockpitMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_cockpit, MESHVIS_EXTERNAL);
	
	mesh_orbiter = AddMesh(hOrbiterMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_orbiter, MESHVIS_ALWAYS | MESHVIS_VC );

	mesh_vc = AddMesh(hOrbiterVCMesh);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_vc, MESHVIS_ALWAYS | MESHVIS_VC );

But because the VC doesn't match the main mesh there are issues. So I main need to make the cockpit mesh which does fit the vc mesh also with the mfd,........

gattispilot · Mar 4, 2018

So I redid the vc. But there seems to be a vc-hires and a lo one. Not sure why?

Got the front mfd to work. Thinking about the aft one to make it on the aft wall.

The one function I can't get to work or see the difference was the mfd bright function

gattispilot · Mar 5, 2018

Ok last but not least

RMS dialogue box. I can add the store/recall boxes.

But not sure how to code them.

I think the save state is stored in the scn. Then when you press read you open the scn and get the values and then like stow it follows a set sequence

gattispilot · Mar 7, 2018

I have run into a major issue with the vc.

So the mfd and screen have the same texture "label.dds". The screen are id as cdr1,cdr2,....

But the labels for the mfd not.

So I get the cdr1 to work but the cdr2 screen shows but not the label,....

Code:

bool Atlantis::clbkLoadVC (int id)
{
	static VCHUDSPEC huds = {  // common HUD specs
		mesh_vc,            // nmesh
		GRP_VIRTUAL_HUD,  // ngroup

	};
	//static VCMFDSPEC mfds = {
	//	mesh_vc, 0

	static EXTMFDSPEC mfds = { // common MFD specs
		{0,0,0,0},          // pos
		mesh_vc,            // nmesh

		MFD_SHOWMODELABELS, // flag
		5, 0,               // nbt1, nbt2
		512/6, 512/7        // bt_yofs, bt_ydist
	};
	static const int mfdgrp[10] = {
		GRP_CDR1_VC,GRP_CDR2_VC,GRP_PLT1_VC,GRP_PLT2_VC,

		GRP_MFD_AFT_VC
	};

	bool ok = false;

	// register MFD function buttons
	// this needs to be done globally, so that the labels are correctly updated from all VC positions
	SURFHANDLE tex1 = oapiGetTextureHandle (hOrbiterVCMesh, 14);

	// commander MFD function buttons

In my vc mesh labels is the 14th texture.

Code:

TEXTURES 14
Atlantis/R1L1.dds
Atlantis/c3.dds
Atlantis/A8top.dds
Atlantis/R2.dds
Atlantis/c2.dds
Atlantis/clocknums.dds
Atlantis/A8bottom.dds
Atlantis/STSVC01.dds
Atlantis/STSVC02.dds
Atlantis/STSVC03.dds
Atlantis/r13l.dds
Atlantis/talkback.dds
Atlantis/GPC.dds
Atlantis/label.dds D

So int he Atlantis mesh definition notice the mfd are in sequence

Code:

// Named mesh groups:
#define GRP_CDR1_VC 33
#define GRP_CDR2_VC 34
#define GRP_PLT1_VC 35
#define GRP_PLT2_VC 36
#define GRP_MFD1_VC 37
#define GRP_MFD2_VC 38
#define GRP_MFD3_VC 39
#define GRP_MFD4_VC 40
#define GRP_MFD5_VC 41
#define GRP_MFD_aft_VC 42

Then come the labels.

But might are not

Code:

#define GRP_mesh45 360
#define GRP_CDR1_VC 361
#define GRP_mesh46 362
#define GRP_CDR2_VC 363
#define GRP_mesh47 364
#define GRP_PLT1_VC 365
#define GRP_mesh48 366
#define GRP_PLT2_VC 367
#define GRP_mesh49 368
#define GRP_MFD1_VC 369
#define GRP_mesh50 370
#define GRP_MFD2_VC 371
#define GRP_mesh51 372
#define GRP_MFD3_VC 373
#define GRP_mesh52 374
#define GRP_MFD4_VC 375
#define GRP_mesh53 376
#define GRP_MFD5_VC 377
#define GRP_mesh54 378
#define GRP_MFD_AFT_VC 379

in my the label comes first. No ideas how to fix this with using notepad and move the mesh groups around?

---------- Post added 03-07-18 at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 03-06-18 at 07:22 PM ----------

Fixed it. Just rearrange the groups. But got the left and right mfd to adjust the brightest. But can't get the center section to change. I am setting the vc touch arear in the right x,y area not so much about the z. I tried on the surface but it didn't work. The Atlantis looked like it was above the surface?

gattispilot · Mar 11, 2018

So closer.

So if the ODS is present we want the eva hatch to open on the ODS not the shuttle

But I get a CTD when I try to open in.

Code:

static UINT extodsDoorGrp[2] = { 0,7};
	static MGROUP_ROTATE newextodsDoor(3, extodsDoorGrp, 2,	_V(0, -.9320414, 12.04634), _V(1, 0, 0), (float)(-120 * RAD));
	anim_extodsdoor = CreateAnimation(0);
	AddAnimationComponent(anim_extodsdoor, 0.0, 0.4632, &newextodsDoor);

The ODS is number 3 in the mesh order.

Code:

	hOrbiterMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("2016SPACESHUTTLE\\Columbia\\Columbia2016B");
	hOrbiterCockpitMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("2016SPACESHUTTLE\\Columbia\\ColumbiaCockpit");
	hOrbiterVCMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("2016SPACESHUTTLE\\Columbia\\ColumbiaVC5A");
	hOrbiterODSMesh = oapiLoadMeshGlobal("2016SPACESHUTTLE\\Columbia\\ODS");

So if I have this a ctd:

Code:

if (ODS_status = 1)SetMeshVisibilityMode(mesh_ODS, MESHVIS_ALWAYS);//ODS PRESENT SHOW MESH
	SetGearParameters (gear_proc);
	if (ODS_status==0)SetAnimation(anim_extdoor, EXT_proc);// ODS NOT PRESENT OPEN WALL HATCH
	if (ODS_status == 1)SetAnimation(anim_extodsdoor, EXT_proc);//ODS PRESENT OPEN ODS HATCH

and in the scn:
ODS 1
HATCH 1 1.0000

If i make the animation state 0.000 then no ctd

gattispilot · Mar 12, 2018

So now I have run into a ctd when I go to VC.

When I run the debugger i get a break at ddraw.dll

gattispilot · Mar 14, 2018
