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.
After taking a look at the current state of the BMP loader I decided it might be worth a shot at reimplementing that part. For example: the current loader doesn't properly handle 1- and 4-bit files, incorrectly loads 16-bit files as intensity-alpha (they are RGB555), is full of dead code, and generally not in very good shape.
Attached is my re-implementation for review.
I've checked it against the test images from http://wvnvaxa.wvnet.edu/vmswww/bmp.html and models that use BMP files.

The semantic change that went into the ac loader with the past patch was
incorrect wrt the document describing the behaviour of ac files and
inconsistent with what ac3d itself displays for that files.

The change is based on rev 9045."
- Matrix transform nodes were stripped out, and the
vertices and normals of each node were
transposed by the modelling matrix. My change preserves
the matrix transform nodes, so that
models can still be articulated by changing the matrices.
- Lights were copied from the COIN scenegraph to the OSG

support. While testing the pluggin we found a small bug and we are
submitting a patch.
The first attachment is a small program that creates a scene with two
pyramids, transformed by two instances of
osg::PositionAttitudeTransform. One of them is rotated 90 degrees in
the X axis, and the scene is exported both in the native OSG (.osg)
and COLLADA (.dae) formats. In the first case the rotated pyramid is
displayed correctly whereas in the second the pyramid seems not to be
rotated.
In the COLLADA 1.4.1 specification (found at
http://www.khronos.org/collada/) it is specified that
"The <rotate> element contains a list of four floating-point values
[...] followed by an angle in degrees" but the plugin seems to write
the value in radians.
The problem seems to be in the method daeWriter::apply() that seems to
be writing the angle value in radians to the COLLADA file. The patch
can be found in the second attachment and is simply a call to
RadiansToDegrees wrapped around the angle.

If a 400 level error occurs, a FILE_NOT_FOUND ReadResult is appropriate.
If a 500 level error occurs (such a 503, Service unavailable), the application might want to try to load the file again in a few seconds/minutes. This submission returns ERROR_IN_READING_FILE if a 500 level error occurs so that clients can easily distinguish between the errors.
The actual error code is also added to the "message" of the ReadResult so if a client needs more information, they can just parse the message to retrieve the error code."
Quicktime supports only files with 3/4-channels rgba-files and not 1/2-channels rgb-files.
This submission is from Tatsuhiro Nishioka, here's his original quote:
When FlightGear crashes, the error message
"GraphicsImportGetNaturalBounds failed" shows up. By adding printf
debug, I found the error was -8969: codecBadDataErr when loading a
gray-scaled (2 channels) rgba files even though the file can be loaded
with Gimp and osgViewer properly.
So I made an investigation on this problem and found an interesting
thing. This error occurs only when non-rgb files are loaded before rgb
files. The reason is that rgba files can be handled by both
osgdb_rgb.so and osgdb_qt.so, but the error happens only when
osgdb_qt.so try to load a gray-scaled rgba file.
When a program is about to load an rgba file, osgdb_rgb.so is loaded
and it handles the rgba file properly. In contrast, when a gray-scaled
rgb file is being loaded after a non-rgb file (say png) is already
loaded by osgdb_qt.so, osgdb_qt.so tries to load the file instead of
osgdb_rgb, which causes the error above.
Anyway, the bad thing is that QuickTime cannot handle gray-scaled rgb
files properly. The solution for this is not to let osgdb_qt handle
rgb files since osgdb_rgb can handle these properly.

they are written to disk, either inline or as an external file. Added support for
this in the .ive plugin. Default of WriteHint is NO_PREFERNCE, in which case it's
up to the reader/writer to decide.

Attached is a patch that should fix spacey filenames and optional texture scale/offset. I have tested it with files I have that I modified to contain spaces in the texture filenames."
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
1. Added options to control wether the osgUtil::Tessellator or osgUtil::TriStripVisitor are run. By default they still run just as before.
2. Added support for the Emissive material. The data was being read from the mtl file but was never being applied to the model.
3. This is the main bug addressed, when a model is read in with an alpha value specified like:
newmtl Material__8
Ns 24
d 0.33
illum 2
Kd 0.204 0.204 0.204
Ks 0 0 0
Ka 0.153 0.153 0.153
where the alpha value is d. The loader would then overwrite the alpha value when reading the diffuse, specular, and ambient colors. I have changed all the material color readers to only set the values they read and to use the default colors specified in the constructor of the obj class. With these changes, the obj reader now handles opacity correctly if the alpha value is specified before the material colo"
It check the data type of the image ( img.getDataType() ) and if it's GL_FLOAT :It save the tiff with float values.
Otherwise it does the same thing as before."

In the OSG OpenFlight plugin these names are ignored when reading, and
empty strings are written.
As we need these names in the OSG scene graph by our application, I
changed the plugin code, so the names are now stored in class
"osg::Material" (derived from "osg::Object") by
material->setName();
(see "PaletteRecords.cpp, line 195) when reading the file, and written
to file by
dos.writeString( m.Material->getName(), 12 );
(see MaterialPaletteManager.cpp, line 80).
As these names otherwise get lost when reading an OpenFlight file and
writing it again e.g. by
osgconv example.flt converted_example.flt
these changes make the plugin more complete.
The changes were made to OSG revision 8425, and were tested by

is an example). This can happen in circumstances that are not
manageable by the OSG itself (e.g. 3rd party buggy program) but one
would expect the plugin to be able to recover by returning
ReadResult::ERROR_IN_READING_FILE.
libpng provides two callbacks for warnings and errors - those are
currently unused. By default, they point to function that call exit()
or something similar (the default error callback never returns). This
patch registers the callbacks using libpng's mechanisms, makes the
warning callback emit an osg::notify(osg::WARN) message and the error
callback throw an error. The reading process is enclosed in a
try...catch block. Upon error, the memory is freed and
ReadResult::ERROR_IN_READING_FILE is returned.

The first bug is that the terrain tiles will page out to a lower LOD when they are right in front of you. The issue appears to be with the blacklisting heuristic which forces a tile to LOD 1, commenting out the usage of blacklisting with the LOD Nodes fixes our problem. This code change was made to line 29 of TXPPageLOD.cpp.
The second bug we were experiencing is that the database reader options never make it through to the archive loader. The use case for us appeared when the FID codes for the terrain were no longer on the materials. As it turns out the archive was being created twice, once by TXPNode and once by the ReaderWriterTXP on getArchive() so the options never actually got set on the archive that was being loaded. The fix is to first create the archive by calling getArchive on the ReaderWriterTXP, which stores it in a map for reference later, and then passing that archive into the TXPNode for it to set its internal member. With this code change we only create one archive (not sure what creating two did) and our options flags get set properly on the database.
The changes made are in TXPNode.h line 72 where the TXPArchive is now passed in. In the TXPNode.cpp the loadArchive(TXPArchive*) was changed to have the default behavior if NULL is passed in, if an archive is passed in then it does not load it since all the loading is done in the ReaderWriterTXP::getArchive(). The only other place that loadArchive is called is in TXPIO.cpp where a modification was made to pass in NULL which will have the same behavior as it used to. The last change is the little block of code starting on line 57 of ReaderWriterTXP.cpp, this was changed so that it first calls getArchive() which caches the archives in a map does some loading stuff and returns a pointer to it which is then passed in as a parameter to TXPNode::loadArchive().
The performance changes were made to TXPParser.cpp line 163 where we use to osgUtil::Optimizer on the node before passing it off, and on line 1456 we changed the geometry to use display lists. These small changes actually made drastic performance increases for us, as much as 1000% on certain laptops.
As far as testing goes, we have tested these changes with at least 5 txp databases on a variety of different computers including Mac OS and Linux. The base version used is 2.4."
osg::ref_ptr<osg::Node> ReaderWriterVRML2::convertFromVRML(openvrml::node *obj)
The fixes are:
* Added the source's parent directory as search directory for image files.
* The material properties are now set in the stateset of the Geode rather than the Geometry. This will allow geometries to be reused with different material properties in future updates.
NB: I planned for a caching scheme in which multiple occurences of the same primitive (e.g., Cylinders with radius 0.8 and height 1.2), would use the same Geometry object. Unfortunately, my planning moved me to other areas, but I might still finish the caching scheme in a quiet hour. For the time being I decided it would be a good thing to already submit my current changes.

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."

CLAMP ->GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE
NONE->GL_CLAMP_TO_BORDER
The current 2.5.0 daePlugin assumes the following binding
CLAMP ->GL_CLAMP
NONE->GL_REPEAT
Notably the GL_CLAMP binding will result in visible black seams on input files that use otherwise matching textures. Replacing GL_CLAMP by GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE solves this problem. I've updated both the read and write functions.
"
multi-threaded paging, where the Pager manages threads of reading local
and http files via seperate threads. This makes it possible to smoothly
browse large databases where parts of the data are locally cached while
others are on a remote server. Previously with this type of dataset
the pager would stall all paging while http requests were being served,
even when parts of the models are still loadable virtue of being in the
local cache.
Also as part of the refactoring the DatabaseRequest are now stored in the
ProxyNode/PagedLOD nodes to facilitate quite updating in the cull traversal,
with the new code avoiding mutex locks and searches. Previous on big
databases the overhead involved in make database requests could accumulate
to a point where it'd cause the cull traversal to break frame. The overhead
now is negligable.
Finally OSG_FILE_CACHE support has been moved from the curl plugin into
the DatabasePager. Eventually this functionality will be moved out into
osgDB for more general usage.
ReaderWriter::ReadResult now has a FILE_REQUEST enum.
ReaderWriter::Options now has a s/getAsynchronousFileReadHint() parameter methods.
libcurl based plugin now detects enabing of the AsynchronousFileReadHint, but
as yet does not handle async requests - handling everything syncronously.
DatabasePager now by default will enable AsynchronousFileReadHint for http
based file requests
There was a problem converting a file to Collada by using osgconv like this:

Error: daeLIBXMLPlugin::write(file://cessna.dae) failed

This was due to some bad URI processing code in the Collada plugin. The attached file fixes this by using the Collada DOM's URI processing functions. After this change the file will convert successfully in the local directory.

It might seem odd that the change actually removes the stub apply(Billboard&) method, but it turns out Billboards are easily supported in subordinate routines of the existing apply(Geode&) method with s dynamic_cast, so there's no need for a separate apply(Billboard&)."
I've spotted huge memory leaks int ShapeParser and fixed them.
Also, there was a missing destructor (PolygonM) and a missing member initialization (PolygonZ)
Would be nice if someone could test the changes.
To release the memory just if no reading error happened (and therefore the arrays would be valid) I've added an macro to release and reset the pointers at once. I'm not using macros myself very often as I don't like them, but I think it doesn't hurt in this code.

In essence, the FLT exporter was emitting a full set of Mesh records each time it encountered a PrimitiveSet.
Attached is a fix. The code now emits the Mesh set up records, then iterates over all PrimitiveSets and emits a Mesh Primitive record per PrimitiveSet.
It also loops over PrimitiveSets twice, first writing Face records according to the mode, the writing Mesh records (again according to the mode).
The final change included here is support for GL_POINTS as single-vertex Face records.
Billboards are still to come."
I removed QTtexture.h/.cpp and added QTImportExport.h/.cpp. I updated the CMake-files, I hope they are alright.
