I got some nice error while compiling:
C:\\Development\\planeshift\\src\\client\\gui\\psmainwidget.cpp(273): error C2440: \'initializing\' : cannot convert from \'iSector *(__thiscall iCamera::* )(void) const\' to \'iSector *\'


This generated a lot of other errors, of course, since psmainwidget.cpp of libgui didn\'t compile properly

I m using MSVC 7.1

The line is this :
iSector* sector =psengine->GetPSCamera()->GetICamera()->GetSector;

Thanks to lynxlynxlynx it is enough to correct
GetSector() (adding the parentheses).


After this, I tried to compile again and I get:
 libgui fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: \'v:\\sf.net\\cvsroot\\planeshift\\src\\client\\gui\\pawsgmaction.cpp\': No such file or directory
 libpsserverobjects fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: \'v:\\sf.net\\cvsroot\\planeshift\\src\\server\\bulkobjects\\psactionlocationinfo.cpp\': No such file or directory

Hi!

With MSVC 7.1 I have tried to compile the latest CVS version of PS.

I got a lot of warnings, and some error on apppserver that didn\'t make such project compile successfully.

Here it is:

Hi!


I certainly cannot be considered yet an expert on usability, but we can say that my path has been leading considering a lot that subject.


Yesterday, I have finally learnt a bit how to play CB (ok, I had been in game, but never did really something \"intelligent\"), and I was noticing that, on one hand, the system of windows that are trasparent/opaque, can be moved, resized, etc. is very functional (even if, I believe that the command /who is waisted and a bit useless in game: probably, somebody said it already, but when there are a LOT of players, it is impossible of having an idea of who is for real online - maybe it is better to use an homepage for that?), on the other hand I find a couple of things absolutely \"terrible\"!


- the name over the players! A part from the fact that sometimes, instead of the name I get some black block (and yes, I have been reading the thread about it...), they are TOO big, and they cover TOO much of the visual. I remember that I was appreciating so MUCH how instead the name was placed in MB. It was there, visible, but not too much. A discrete presence that could really not distract the player. (If I am saying some stupid thing just consider that this is first impression from a newbie in game - even if eventually these things can be fix in the settings -, and the first impression is important, because can tell to a player if he/she wants to continue to play. )


- when I select a target I get a pink aura. Also that is quite distractive and ok, that should be implemented in an not equivocable way, visible and clear, in order to avoid mistakes. Maybe is matter of getting used to it, but the first impression is : \"wtf is that?\". I have to think about a solution ...


- This is not really usability but: in the fighting system, the number could be substitute by a name of a damage : small (a scratch), big (a big wound?!... I have lack of fantasy now.

- Moving object -> it becomes an NPC. I don\'t understand why there is this \"solution\" when a character drop an object. Why isn\'t the object visualize itself? Is it because there is not a proper model? By the way, I think it is really puzzling!

If I have said some obvious thing, I am sorry. I have run the \"search\" button a couple of time for checking that what I have said was something new and not repeated billion of times. If I did, I am really sorry.

Hi!

I have been trying to update from CVS the latest PS the whole day, but for the whole day I didn\'t get any specific update, therefore I constantly compile with MSVC 7.1 and I get a lot of errors.

Specifically:
I think that this
plgpfcharacterdata fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: \'\\development\\planeshift\\src\\common\\psprop\\character\\pschardata.cpp\': No such file or directory

deserves to be mentioned!

I hope tomorrow the project file for MSVC will be updated with the fact that it shouldn\'t go and searc for pschardata.cpp

(Are my suppositions correct?)

Hi!

If there is any, I would invite you to check this thread out ( http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=13054&boardid=19&styleid=3&sid=cef33b71f8f3d059aaea23c27e24aae7 ).

I am really in need of help, thanks to whoever will reply.

PS: I hope this is not considered crossposting.

Hi!

I hope the question is in topic.
I am going to do the lighting of my VE (Virtual Environment), and I am using the PS exporter guide, since I am using 3dsmax.

First of all, I was thinking to create the sun over the open spaces like a OmniLight (a positional one), but I got a bit confused when I was reading the guide.

From the guide:
the controller light must be named \'crystal\' and should be dynamic. This light will be affected by other factors like rain. So depending on its intensity value will control the on/off of other lights

From what I understand the controller light should be the \"sun\" of the situation, right?

If I try to see how to create a dynamic light, I read this:
Dynamic Lights:
Lights can have a dynamically changing color. If this is the case, read the \"Export Lights\" chapter or more info on how to define hue changes.

I got to the \"Export Lights\" chapter and....
This command allows you to export the light information that will be used by PS engine to render lights at different times in the day.

Select PlaneShift->Export Lights.

Please note that:

You must set the total frame number to 24 (from 0 to 23) or to 48 (from 0 to 47)
Every frame represents a certain time of the day: 1 frame for each hour starting from 0:00 am (midnight)
You can add an OmniLight called \"ambient\" that represent the ambient light. This light will not be exported as a normal light, the coordinates it has are not relevant.
The lights will be exported to a separate xml file, but those MUST be the same ones present when you exported the level.
The first 24 frames are used to get the light colors when the sun shines and no rain is present. The frames from 25 to 48 are used to get the light colors when the is heavily raining so the sun will be obscured by clouds and rain. The engine uses those extreme values to find the good ones when it\'s raining at 20%, 50%, etc...

If you set the animation length to be 24 frames, then shining sun condition and heavy rain condition will have the same light color values

I really don\'t understand where is the dynamic light referred.
How is it done in PS? The sun is a dynamic light or it is a positional one?
If it is dynamic (I don\'t have any other light depending from the \"controller\", since in Bronze Age there was no illumination of the outsides.. they were eventually using just torches) how should I create it?

Thanks in advance, and I am really sorry if this message is not appropriate, just tell me where to move it eventually.
