[Plugin]SketchyPhysics3 beta.
-
Erm.... I have a problem, the program says that you need to be an administrator to install this, well, i AM the administrator!
-
Weird. Did you have any trouble with the last one? It should be the same installer.
-
No problem with the last one, maybe it's just the parallels system i use.
-
What OS and version of Sketchup are you using. It might have to do with the fact that I now include a msvc.dll.
-
, really more and more efficient...
Thanks
MALAISE -
I use OS X 10, and i use SU 7 Pro.
-
Its probably the .DLL. Is anyone else having the same problem?
-
mac version posting how soon? Days?
-
Yes, Mac Beta?
-
I loaded sketchyphysics 3 beta and the help window displays I have version 2.0b1 loaded. Is this correct or did my install go bad?
-
Mac Beta, probably about a week.
And I forgot to change the version in the About box so it still says 2.0b1.
-
....So is it okay to post my alpha models now, even without Beta?
-
Yes. But you may want to change the watermark text so people don't get uppity.

I'm having trouble with a rear differential, it seems that you can't have gears connected to each other when their hinges are in the same group. When I run the simulation, the gears don't mesh, and when I go to end the sim, it creates a bug splat. Is something wrong or am I doing it wrong?

Big changes in this release are emitters, keyboard support, lots of error checking, and a better organized UI.
I'll make separate posts for the new features. Post general questions and bugs in this thread.
Changes:
Changed version to beta. No 3dwarehouse restrictions.
Added emitters as a body property. FUN!
Added more error checking on the simulation and formulas.
Better handling of critical errors when the simulation is running.
Should be much more stable now and will get even more stable as I get reports of errors.
Added keyboard support with key("space") functions.
Made joystick explicit with joy("lefty") functions.
Made joystick buttons explicit with joybutton("a") functions.
Removed some of the short names from the controller fields. a,b,x,y,rightx,righty,leftx,lefty, remain but may be removed.
Added interface code to SketchyReplay to allow renders to call an export.
BUG SketchyReplay doesnt recognize emitted objects.
Updated installer to include the mscvr71.dll file.
Cleaned up the UI
-Added properties section
-Added boarders around sections
-Layout fixes.
-Formula boxes are now blueish.
-Some work on getting blur working on Mac. No luck yet.
Added bulk "auto freeze" options to right click menu.
Fixed bug in formulas with space and $
Added every(number) keyword.Is there a list of what controller fields are available? I have a logitech ATTACK 3 and it works with joy("lefty") and joy("leftx"). I want to assign the slider on the joystick. In old version of sketchyphysics it seemed to recognize it as rightx.
-
I tried other scripts and found joyRY is mapped to the Logitech ATTACK3 slider so I am running now. However if a list exists of the possible controls script variables/inputs, or a snippet of the source code, please point me to it. Thanks.

Post the model and I'll take a look.

No final list yet. But
rightx,righty,leftx,lefty,joyLX,joyLY,joyRX,joyRY
will continue to work for joystick and keyboard emulation until at least SPIV.
The joystick button shortcuts:
a,b,x,ywork now. But I may remove them if I do a 3.x release. Those names (a,b,x,y) are just too common.
To be future proof use the new syntax instead.
joy("leftx")
and
joybutton("a") -

you can try grouping the hinges with the wheels instead of each other
