Converted Present3D across from using libxml2 to using the new osgDB::XmlNode/XmlNode::Input classes from Xml Parsing.
This changes removes the dependency on libxml2, and allows the present3D application and p3d to work on all platforms.
Also, there was also a small bug in osgDB's CMakeLists.txt that was causing an error when I tested with CMake 2.4.4.
IF(${OSG_DEFAULT_IMAGE_PLUGIN_FOR_OSX} STREQUAL "quicktime")
was changed to
IF(OSG_DEFAULT_IMAGE_PLUGIN_FOR_OSX STREQUAL "quicktime")

osgDB/FileUtils.cpp:
Needed this extra code to allow a true case-insensitive search. This is because the HL2 map and model files are often sloppy with case. For example, the file might look for materials/models/alyx/alyx_sheet.vtf, but the file is actually in materials/Models/Alyx/alyx_sheet.vtf. In case-insensitive mode, the new code recursively disassembles the path and checks each path element without regard to case. In case-sensitive mode, the code behaves exactly as it used to. The new code is also mostly skipped on Windows because of the case-insensitive file system. Previously, I did all of this with custom search code in the .bsp plugin, but this allows the user to tailor the search using OSGFILEPATH. There are some instructions in the plugins' README files about this.
osgPlugins/mdl:
This is a new plug-in for Half-Life 2 models (as opposed to maps). This allows you to load Source models individually, as well as allowing the .bsp plugin to load models (props) that are embedded into maps. Mdl files can contain simple object (crates, barrels, bottles), as well as fully articulated characters with skeletal animations. Currently, it can load the simple objects. It can also load the characters, but it can't load the skeletons or animations.
osgPlugins/bsp:
This contains all of the changes needed to load props along with the basic map geometry. There are also
several bugs fixed.
osgPlugins/vtf:
This is the loader for Valve's texture format. Previously, we had agreed to put this in with the bsp plugin, but I didn't think of the .mdl plugin at that time. It's conceivable that a user might want to load models individually (not as part of a map), so the vtf reader does have to be separate. I also fixed a rather significant bug.
I tested all of this code on RHEL 5.2 (32-bit), and Fedora 9 (64-bit). I'll be testing on Windows soon.
I also attached a simple .mdl file, along with it's associated files and textures. Just extract the tarball into it's own directory, set your OSGFILEPATH to point at that directory, and load the model like this:
osgviewer models/props_junk/gascan001a.mdl"
Source and CMake files are:
CMakeLists.txt
ReaderWriterBVH.cpp
Also there are 3 example BVH files. The first two are captured from motions of human beings - maybe a kung-fu master here. PLEASE use command below to see the results:
# osgviewer example1.bvh -O solids
This will demonstrate the animating of a skeleton and render bones as solid boxes. Note that the motion assumes XOZ is the ground and has an offset from the center, so we should adjust our view to get best effects.
You may also use "-O contours" to render bones as lines. The viewer shows nothing if without any options because osgAnimation::Bone does not render itself. User may add customized models to each named bones as osganimationskinning does to make uses of this plugin in their own applications.
I was wondering to support a BvhNode in my osgModeling peoject before, but soon found it better be a plugin for animation. A problem is, how to bind real geometry models to the skeleton. Maybe we could have a bindingToNode() visitor in future to find geodes matching names of bones and add them as bones' children."
The plug-in is a wrapper around open-exr (http://www.openexr.com) that consists of two projects, ilmbase-1.0.1 and openexr-1.6.1.
I have only tested it on windows XP 32 machine. So there might be some work making it work on other platforms.
The plug-in supports writing and reading EXR files. When writing it can use the data type GL_HALF_FLOAT_ARB(se ilmbase-1.0.1) and GL_FLOAT. When reading the data type always becomes GL_HALF_FLOAT_ARB. It supports textures with three and four channels.
When reading an exr file it automatically removes Alfa channel if it didn't store any information."

From Robert Osfield, started work on ported it to other platforms, but could fix some problems relating to error:
?Imf::OStream::OStream(const Imf::OStream&)? is private
I'm checking in now so that others can have a bash at completing the port.
The set up for this to work is a bit more complex than most files, since the engine expects all files to be in a certain place, and it tends to mix case a lot. I tried to explain everything in the VBSP_README.txt file."
This plugin has been integrated with the pre-exisiting bsp plugin.
Notes from Robert Osfield, I've merged osgWidget trunk, and added/changed CMakeLists.txt file to make it suitable for inclusion in the core OSG, and moved imagery/scripts/shaders out into OpenSceneGraph-Data
"Here is a collection of changes which should fix issues building the OSG with CMake 2.6.0 (along with some other changes)
CMakeLists.txt:
* Set CMP0003 to supress warning about linking against -lpthread (which is a
non-absolute library location). (CMake 2.6.x fix)
* Modified the WIN32_USE_MP and a couple of other Visual Studio specific flags
to be in an IF(MSVC) block (minor tweak to reduce exposing this stuff on MinGW builds)
* Includes my second set of glu tesselator autodetection changes that you
seemed to want but haven't committed yet.
src/OpenThreads/pthreads/CMakeLists.txt:
* Eliminates warning when compiling on Linux about spaces in link line (CMake 2.6.x fix)
CMakeModules/OsgMacroUtils.cmake:
* Tweaks to make the macros behave properly under CMake 2.6.0 (doesn't change behavior under CMake 2.4.x)
CMakeModules/Find3rdPartyDependencies.cmake:
* Adds the NO_DEFAULT_PATH option to all of the search options so that things in C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph aren't accidently picked up during configure time and instead only things in the "3rdParty" folder are discovered. (general bugfix)
"
post 2:
"Ok, hold the presses. I just discovered that for some odd reason the osgdb_* plugins under Linux aren't getting put under the osgPlugins-2.5.0 folder. Not exactly sure why this broke, the folder was there, just empty. I'll have to look into it this evening."
post 3:
"Fixed, was caused by the switch to CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and some code in osgPlugins/CMakeLists.txt that effectively overrides LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH on non-MSVC compilers to dump the plugins in the plugins folder. I tweaked it to override CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY as well. Seems to work fine."
.shp ...) ogr is a part of gdal so i added the build of ogr plugin if
gdal is found.
to test it
osgviewerd -e ogr file.tab
or
osgviewerd -e ogr file.gml
or
osgviewerd -e ogr file.shp
"
You were right about the CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS option for CMake, so here is a modification allowing to not generate the manifest files for the plugins making them a lot more easy to redistribute. I have also made the same modification to the wrappers as they are also put into the osgPlugin folder when generated.
"
"" for all platforms except Cygwin where its set to "cygwin_" and Mingw where
it is set to "mingw_". Updated osgDB::Registry to look for these for the plugins.
Updated the osgintrospection example to search for these names as well.
according to the OpenSceneGraph/CMakeLists.txt and the include/osg/Version settings.
These changes mean that the 1.9.5 release will have a libs/osgPlugins-1.9.5 directory.
