A tasks and bugs are now being tracked by sourceforge. Please
|
|
goto: http://sourceforge.net/projects/plib/
|
|
|
|
* Have a look into known_bugs and fix them.
|
|
|
|
* Lines in ASCII files are terminated...
|
|
|
|
With '\n' under UNIX/Linux
|
|
With '\r' under MacOS
|
|
With BOTH under Windoze.
|
|
|
|
Hence, UNIX/Linux does no conversions of either '\r' or '\n'.
|
|
and MAC swaps '\r' and '\n' on input.
|
|
and Windoze dumps '\r' if it follows a '\n'.
|
|
|
|
This is a mess - so I'm changing all the ASCII I/O code
|
|
to allow either or both '\n' or '\r' and I'm reading the
|
|
ASCII files in BINARY mode.
|
|
|
|
* Array deletion requires '[]' after 'delete' on Mac.
|
|
|
|
* Some of the MSVC-project files for plib_examples seem to be
|
|
broken, for example some miss a "winmm.lib".
|
|
|
|
* Check whether the new ssgStripify works with TuxKart

The abbreviation NIV14 means not in Version 1.4.

Bugs:
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
- When creating fgfsTux, sometimes .ac, .dxf,
|
|
.ase and .obj saved zero objects, although
|
|
there were objects. For example, PLIB
|
|
created this .ac file:
|
|
----------- snip ------------
|
|
AC3Db
|
|
OBJECT world
|
|
kids 0
|
|
OBJECT group
|
|
kids 0
|
|
----------- snip ------------
|
|
This seems to happen after ssgFlatten.
|
|
- WK: Create a sphere in ppe. Save it as .ASE. See that values like
|
|
diffuse colour are cr*p. Try to load it. It crashes. This could be
|
|
one or - probably - two bugs. I don't think this is a ppe problem.
|
|
The loader complains that number of faces is -2.
|
|
The problem seems to be the writer.
|
|
|
|
*new remark*: About the diffuse values: I think it has to do with
|
|
colour material, a loader (.ASE?) loading colours into a colour
|
|
list and writing colours from the ssgSimpleState where they are
|
|
undefined. I think the same bug is in .AC
|
|
|
|
- WK: I have a crash in ssgFlatten if I load .ac files with
|
|
unused materials (not reproducable?)
|
|
- Loading and saving lines in .OBJ doesn't work. Maybe NIV14.

Has anyone here debugged with plib under Windoze 2000 and MSVC++?
|
|
I get a whole bunch of
|
|
"Free Heap block modifed after it was free"
|
|
warnings with the ssgFlatten and ssgStripify.
|
|
I'll try and hunt this one down.
|
|
...
|
|
I think it may be because I'm using MFC which (if I remember
|
|
correctly) enables a bunch more memory checks. Also I'm doing
|
|
#ifdef _WIN32
|
|
#ifdef _DEBUG
|
|
#define new DEBUG_NEW
|
|
#endif
|
|
#endif
|
|
- Not all loaders use ssgLoaderOptions::begin. Don't all have to?
|
|
|
|
- Search for todo, fix, fixme, kludge.

Misc:
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
- Look whether scaling works. [see current discussion]
|
|
If not and if we can't/don't want to make it work, for example
|
|
because of performance issues we need a warning in the docs and
|
|
IMHO PLIB should "write out" a warning if an unallowed matrix is
|
|
sent to it.
|
|
Update: Scaling does not work (intentionally). Uniform scaling may be
|
|
enabled by uncommenting "radius *= sgLengthVec3(m[0])" in
|
|
sgSphere::orthoXform. It is currently disabled because that extra
|
|
calculation would degrade performance on non-scaled matrices.
|
|
- Reduce lint warnings. Lint is an error checking tool that gives warnings
|
|
where things *could be* wrong as opposed to the compiler that tells
|
|
you where they are wrong.
|
|
|
|
- It would be great if we had one or even two working native .ssg
|
|
file formats. Currently (16.12.2001) the format work most of the time, but not all
|
|
entities are implemented.
|
|
- We should write the GetWrapU/GetWrapV function, since
|
|
loading /writing .ssg files can't work 100% without it.
|
|
- When saving, there is often a warning that "ref count doesn't
|
|
tally with parent count"
|
|
- Go through the mailing list for unfinished business.
|
|
- Someone, preferably a native english speaker with ssg-knowledge,
|
|
should go through the new ssg-doc and fix any mistakes. It should be
|
|
fairly complete by now.
|
|
- Add Per's new Formats to the doc?
|
|
- For the other parts of plib, people should bring the doc up to
|
|
date.
|
|
- There is a bug in the 3Dfx driver for Linux (tdfx_dri-4.0.1-1) that
|
|
causes the "complex" example program to crash in "fxSetupBlend".
|
|
This is fixed in more recent DRI snapshots (requires kernel 2.4.x).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Probably after 1.4.0:
|
|
=====================
|
|
- In fgfsTux, not a large object, you get a DList overflow
|
|
with the standard values for its size. Can we make its
|
|
size dynamic?
|
|
- Look at handling of normals. For example, loaders,
|
|
stripify etc should only recalculate missing normals.
|
|
Have *one* function that recalculates normals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It would be nice if people would volunteer for tasks.
