Physics improvement

Have you sought out advice on the bullet physics help forum? They might know a solution.

Anyways here is the video I said I would upload before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TBUrHbS ... e=youtu.be
Physics are off at the beginning of the video, then I turn them on.

Love it. Would you mind telling me how you were moving the camera straight up and down at the beginning of the video?

Its part of aedra's player movement (pmove) code, so it's only in my physicsaedra2 branch.

I see, is that something I'd be able to easily download and build, or is it something I wouldn't have access to?

Might be useful for video making, is why I ask.

Keep up the good work with the physics!

Teehee. I used to do QA professionally, for some value of professionally, so I live for this stuff.

You still have quite a lot of time jhooks1.

jhooks: the up axis is the Z axis.
Try changing in pmove.cpp line 194 to 201:

Code: Select all

endVelocity.y -= pm->ps.gravity * pml.frametime;

// pm->ps->velocity = avg(pm->ps->velocity.z, endVelocity.z)
//pm->ps->velocity[2] = ( pm->ps->velocity[2] + endVelocity[2] ) * 0.5;
pm->ps.velocity.y= (pm->ps.velocity.y + endVelocity.y) * 0.5f;

//primal_velocity[2] = endVelocity[2];
primal_velocity.y = endVelocity.y;

to

Code: Select all

endVelocity.z -= pm->ps.gravity * pml.frametime;
pm->ps.velocity.y= (pm->ps.velocity.z + endVelocity.z) * 0.5f;
primal_velocity.z = endVelocity.z;

Got the gravity changed to going down, but it still acts like a bouncy ball.

Maybe tuning parameters like friction can help? At least it's simple and worth a shoot.
