Raydium 3D Game Engine

Done ! GLUT is no more needed, and myglut now allows : same fullscreen method (desktop resolution) on both Linux and Windows, normal key repeating, wheelmouse support under win32, and no more ATI speed problems under Linux !

To all : make as many test as possible : various OS, graphic cards, ... and please report any problem. All you've to do is to update your copy of Raydium using svn repository

I'm updating Windows SDK right now.

edit : Raydium SDK is now up to date ( http://raydium.org/data/RaydiumSDK.zip as always). I've already found a bug with cursor under win32

problem:
I have two monitors and when i launch mania_drive the screen take the two monitors,when usually the games only use the first monitor, cause using 2 monitors, the apsect ratio is unadecauted and the center of the screen is difficult to see (is at the interior edges of the monitors)

Ok. Are you using xinerama ?

yes, i think

I think i can apply a workaround for this problem, detecting xinerama and asking resolution of only the first head (and not the whole screen resolution).

Since I don't have any access to such hardware right now, I'll ask you to test next commit and see if "Xinerama detected" appears in Raydium log.

referring to my previous post:

commit is done, myglut now provides :
config.h HAVE_XINERAMA option (default : active)
--xinerama-fullscreen ("old" behavior, using all xinerama screens)
--xinerama-screen x (using screen number x. default to 0)

vicente : can you test both command line options and see if the result is correct, please (and paste console output about window creation) ? It's hard to code all this with no access to such setup

if i use fullscreen , the display looks like before and the output related is this:
and with the screen 0 option i get:That mode works great. The game appears in the first monitor and the second monitor still is working (funny feature), but the keyboard/mouse are not grabbed. Maybe a (alt+g) key combination to grab/ungrab inputs could be usefull like in SDL.
In the second monitor (with screen 1) the log is:and works the same that in the screen 0 but in the second monitor.

So it works but keyboard and mouse ? Can you say more about this ? Keyboard and mouse does not fire events when windows is created ? Or after you've used another application on second screen ?

when the screen changes to fullscren the mouse is still free, so i can move outside the monitor 1 and enter and move it on the monitor 2 and even interatuate with the windows on the monitor 2.
And the keyboard entry is ...choppy (strange)

Ok for the mouse. And what's the problem with the keyboard ? How strange ?

(I can't see any solution for this trouble, right now)


edit : ok, I was able to build a Xinerama compatible setup using my notebook's VGA connector. The abality to switch to another application on the second desktop is a must, I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's "no problem" with keyboard, it's just a matter of focus : you must click on Raydium application to get back keyboard focus. It's perhaps possible to do this autmatically when mouse enters Raydium's window. I'm going to look at this.

the keyboard problem is not happening again... so if i can't reproduce it maybe don't exits.

I've done some work on X11 version of myglut: better fullscreen and Xinerama support. The first official version of myglut is on the way, but we need testers !

I agree GLUT is evil.

How did you overcome GLUT limitations ? Did myglut work ?

For information I had the same problems a few time ago, and decided to code using GLX/XLib (Linux) and DirectX (Windows). There are a lot of wrapper like this around. Ogre does it that way if I remember correctly. I guess you probably coded it that way in myglut.

Nice work !

MyGLUT is 100% ok for us, currently. It's based on GLX/XLib and wgl/win32 API, but not DX.

MyGLUT is alsmot independent of Raydium, so we may split it as a separate project one day.

Fine

In fact I've just downloaded the svn tarball after to see it. I just understood it was already implemented

PS: I am trolling, I should have seen the 2 previous posts...
