MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)

Anton_S

Can you then try 2015 32bit?

I was actually able to find a link from SketchUp forums to an install of 2014 32 version 14.1.1282 that wasn't listed on their "older" list.. installed and the old MSPhysics was there from whenever ago. It worked good... so I deleted those and installed the new files and... SPLAT

Anton_S

Thanks for verifying. So, the bugsplat might be related to the library being compiled under Windows 10. I will compile it under Windows 7, send you the link link, and we'll see how it goes. Again, thanks for testing.

Hi Anton. I see that released the AMS 3.1.4. I thought I'll try again. I installed all the Visual C ++ Redistributable version (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013) and DirectX 9 C.
Now, the MSPhysics is loaded and running again. (Windows 10.240 Enterprise)

But the "get_entity" keyword does not working.:

onStart {
  this.get_entity.visible = false
}

I checked on your side. But there is no such. In the 0.2.1 is worked.

How to replace?

Anton_S

Istvan, the Body.#get_entity was replaced with Body.#get_group. I plan to make more changes to the MSPhysics API in the future to make it more similar with SketchyPhysics API.

P.S. I still haven't figured out what makes the new version to crash on windows 10 platforms. It could be related to the modified compiler options, which I think rely on the external libraries. I will compare between the old and new MSPhysics C++ extensions to determine what causes the crash.

PituPhysics

Thanks. Okay, I look forward to the sequel. This MSPhysics is super.

I'm trying to get MSphysics Functioning but it crashes as soon as sketchup Pro 2016 launches and I get this error:

msp_lib.so is in the proper location

I tried re-downloading and retry installing but it didn't help

PituPhysics

Try this:
Install the Visual C ++ pack and DirectX 9.
Restart the PC.

It worked for me. Download

I'm in complete awe that you have created this, so impressive, my virtual hat off to you. If I ever use this for commercial purposes, I will have no hesitation in sending you some money. Thank you so much for your perseverance.

My spec:

Sketchup 2015 (15.3.331 64-Bit)
MSPhysics_0.3.0
ams_Lib.rbz_v3.1.4

Also installed (no conflicts so far):

Twilight2
Instant Wall/SiteGrader/Terrain/Road/Fence

faust07

Very good news. Will try today to rebuild a model from SketchyPhysics in a model for MSPhysics (birdy).

PituPhysics

Hello everyone. Here is a video, how to fix it the "Load Errors" on Windows 10.

faust07

Anton, you have nailed it...
I have started with a simple model to learn - emitted nails and two magnetic balls (birdy
is to heavy for beginner ...).
I tried to create a visually comprehensible animation. Not necessarily physically
correct.

cool:

materials and their properties,
emitted objects stay in Record, Replay und Export,
transforming hard camera change in simulation into soft camera movement during Replay,
simulation as a wireframe, export with scene settings (stiles, shadows etc.) is
timesaving
and much more

problems and wishes:

setting the material in MSP-UI Body Properties is a little tricky. The list scrolls
sometimes very quickly to their end (better to do it in context menu).
remember export animation options for next export in one SUp session (start-, endframe,
resolution ...).

Dreams:

Twilight Renderer combatibility - but that is more the question of Twilight whether MSPhysics is supported as SketchyPhysics, for direct rendering in SketchUp.
an algorithm to automatically convert models from Sketchy- to MSPhysics...

If someone wants to test magnetic nails ...

MSPh_Emitter-Nails_01.avi

MSPh_Emitter-Nails_01.skp

Anton_S

You nailed on the wish list faust

faust07

Please help:
how can I reach the "self splitting" Method in MSPhysics? The simulation stops with the following error:
"MSPhysics Simulation has been aborted due to an error!
MSPhysics::ScriptException: A NoMethodError has occurred while evaluating entity script, line 1:
undefined method ontouch' for #<MSPhysics::Body:0x11916240> Trace: MSPhysics Script:1:in add_group'
..."

This script works in SketchyPhysics:
ontouch{
split(self,2)
}

And the next thing is: how do I define paths in MSP analogous to the SP-curve method in the context menu?

Anton_S

These features aren't available in the current version of MSPhysics.

faust07

OK, have just read your very long TODO list ... "path follow joint", "advanced explosion function" ... and much more. I wish you 48 hours a day.
First I thought, MSP is more focused on scientific simulation ( ), what can be seen at the many metal materials and the many possible fine adjustments. But it is refreshing to experiment with it.
Now I also read in the FAQ that: "The major aim of MSPhysics is to improve gaming in SketchUp" - Other interesting feelds are physical based simulations and animations of every kind. Nevertheless, I have two more questions: Is there a comparison of differences in script commands between MSP and SP, or is something like that planned for the future? Is there somewhere another forum where MSPhysics issues are discussed?
It seems that there is a relatively small interest in this forum.

Anton_S

Faust, once it gets to version 1.0, a list of comparable functions between SP and MSP would be added, as well as, potential SP compatibility. There is no other forum yet either. Once all the features, including soft bodies, are added and a high quality demonstration of an FPS game or something else is made, this project might gain more interests, but for now it's in development.

Hi Anton,

In Sketchyphysics there is a "controller" dialog box when simulation is runnging, which has a slider to control each individual servo. Is there anything similar in the MSphysics?
