MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)

Anton_S

I tested that model in my SU2014 (32bit), AMS Libary 2.2.0 & MSPhysics 0.2.1 and I didn't get any crashes, but none models moved due to errors in MSPhysics 0.2.1. But that still doesn't explain why you got a bugsplat.

Edit: However, I haven't tested it on SU2015 (32bit). I'm wondering if you're using SU2015 32bit or SU2015 x64.

I've been using SU 2015 64bit.

BillMack

Turns out I was using the latest release.

Oh well - didn't make a difference. Still crashes.

I removed all traces and folders of the previous install. Then, I downloaded and installed SU 2015 64 bit again. I added MSP and AMS. No go. bugsplat.

My Win 7 system is just messed up somehow.

I'll start looking at other drivers that might be conflicting, but I have a strong suspicion my system is faulty and just not up to 3D physics.

At any rate, MSP looks incredible. I look forward to working with it. Hopefully I'll get a system capable of running it soon.

Thanks again. Keep up the great work.

Anton_S

I will send you a private message with my latest version of MSPhysics and AMS Library, which I haven't made public yet. I would like you to see if they work. thanks.

BillMack

Thanks, but I'm still getting the bugsplat.

I uninstalled 64bit and tried 32bit of SU 2015. First I tried with the original MSP/AMS - same result. Next, I tried with latest MSP/AMS. No good.

I'll try SU 2015 64bit again, this time with latest MSP/AMS versions.

Could I be missing some C++ runtime or .Net framework or other low level library?

I've tried uninstalling other programs, updating drivers, shutting off services - nothing seems to make a difference.

SU 2015 leaves no hint or trace in Windows Event Log so there's no clue as to what's going on.

I did notice something strange when I installed SU 2015 32bit. The installer complained about needing to update something that was in use by another program. It listed the Motorola Device Manager Service - I believe that's part of the install for my Motorola smartphone. I let installer do the update - the Motorola service crashed, but later I looked at the running services and it had restarted normally.
That made me think there might be some other runtime that's being troublesome.

Anton_S

That's bad. It seems like there is something wrong with your Windows system or my MSPhysics project. I wish I could help, but I'm no expert when it comes to runtime libraries. Sooner or later I will test my MSPhysics on various PCs and if I come across an issue like that, I will notify you.

BillMack

Thank you for your help.

If I find a solution, I'll post here with the details.

Wonderful to read that you continue to work at the Physics plugins.
I have not had the courage to play with MS-Physics until now.
Does it make sense to install MS-Physics and SketchyPhysics in SketchUp 2015 32bit simultaneously? And to test both plugins with the same (simple) model?

Anton_S

Yes, MSPhysics and SketchyPhysics can be placed in same plugins folder. But, both plugins won't interact with each other; properties assigned by SketchyPhysics will not affect properties assigned by MSPhysics. To get the model to work the same way on both MSPhysics and SketchyPhysics, you'll need to assign similar properties with SketchyPhysics UI and MSPhysics UI.

faust07

Ah, good - Thank you. Will try it.

rombout

THis is probably windwos only, correct?

Anton_S

Yes rombout, its windows only. Furthermore, it's unstable and incomplete. Try out SketchyPhysics 3.6.0, while MSPhysics is still under development.

I wish you developed it further or at least made it stable.
Here is my quick try with Thea. Maybe it will motivate you slightly

hello, I can not seem to find a tutorial to create joint . I use SketchyPhysics . I've the table IU but not the icons .
Where are the joints ???
Thanks for your help.
i've 0.2.0 it's worry ?

Anton_S

MSPhysics will be up and running soon. Have a great holiday!

Anton_S

Hi, 0.3.0 Alpha has been released! Go to first post for download.
Changelog:

Reverted to SDL1 and SDL_Mixer1, which fixed the crash that occurred after using SketchUp for a few minutes.
Optimized the C++ extension.
Upgraded to Newton 3.14.
Added joints. Still more work to go.
Added replay animation tool. It can record materials and emitters.

I might post videos regarding the features soon. Meanwhile, try out the chains.
