Hi John -

Hey there,
Which OS, chipset and drivers are you using? All of my iron understands shader_objects, so I've not seen this before and I thought most modern OpenGL drivers were 2.0 or better and knew about shader_objects. If you could install the OpenGL Extensions Viewer (http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.html) and send me the save file for your configuration it would be a big help in seeing what real machines are actually capable of right now. This is an issue with the new avatar code as it relies on the buffers and shading language to get better performance and smoother rendering. Short term the answer is unfortunately "don't do that then" and kill the .props file and modify the CroquetHarnessWithMenu>>initializeAvatar method to set a non-Ogre avatar path such as the old standby 'Content/Avatars/WhiteRabbit.mdl'. Longer term we'll need to work out some substitute rendering...I was originally hoping that there would be enough OpenGL 2.0 support that this wouldn't be a problem (the spec was released back in 2004, and most people are on a 5 year machine upgrade cycle).

Ah. I see. The avatar code. Yes, we had to provide software fallback for it before we shipped it in Qwaq Forums. Should have thought of that earlier. > Short term the answer is unfortunately "don't do that then" and kill the > .props file and modify the CroquetHarnessWithMenu>>initializeAvatar > method to set a non-Ogre avatar path such as the old standby > 'Content/Avatars/WhiteRabbit.mdl'.

One thing we found in our tests is that various hardware is differently broken when using a variety of combinations of the shader code. The bottom line for us was that the only 100% reliable way to do this is by software. Sad, but true. Cheers, - Andreas |

Hi John, and all,
I just want to start by saying. terrific work with this recent build. I was really looking forward to seeing how the new avatars turned (apart from watching the videos) and I'm quite pleased with the new look.
That said, I have a problem similar to the one posted by Andreas R in that while my better computers (the ones that have newer video cards) can view openGL 2.0 content, many of the desktop computers, and all the laptops, cannot as they are running on-board Intel 945 chipsets (mainly business based machines). These have worked fine for an openGL game programming course I run (which utilize .md2 models) but unfortunately are only openGL 1.4 compliant. I did a quick look at some of the companies we deal with that send out machines with onboard video and most are still using Intel chipsets that are still only openGL 1.4 compliant. Alas, public school budgets are not what they should be for technology!
I guess this is more or less leading to the question... are there plans for looking at an openGL 1.4 compliant work around, or is 2.0 being viewed as the way to go? I know Andreas mentioned utilizing a software renderer they used for Qwaq. I realize you had answered the question about use on these types of machines already ('ie. don't use the new avatars) and I have no problem making the adjustment to the old setup, but I have enjoyed utilizing Cobalt within my classes and wish to continue developing uses for it there so I was curious about the direction it was going.
Regards,
Paul T.

Thanks for trying out the release. We hope to keep rolling it forward as fast as we can. Unfortunately that means there are going to be holes that we'll fill in later. Of course, if we tried to make it perfect we'd never release anything. The dev who's work it is (Peter Moore) says he has something in mind for a fallback renderer that is software based, but you'll have to ask him for details of the support offered.

I just installed it on a 9-month-old 13" MacBook (paid about $1300 CAD for it).
The ninja avatar is cool, but as John mentioned the orientation is a bit off. I find that the scrolling is very smooth when rotating, but walking backwards and forwards is quite jittery (maybe due to the orientation issue). I can investigate a bit further if there's interest. This machine does *not* have a high-end graphics chipset. I've played World of Warcraft on it, but the latest version of VMWare doesn't give me any DirectX support. In general I am surprised that a MacBook has graphics capabilities are beyond that of a typical business laptop, but I guess there must be some reason Macs are more expensive. You can pick up an HP or Toshiba laptop for around $500 that should be able to run this adequately, but I agree there should be some software fallback in place. John, can you and Peter let us know when a patch or updated image can be ready for us to test? Thanks, Steve On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 10:32 AM, Attila Pegan <nagep.hu@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi everyone,
I'm working on integrating a software only rendering path. Unfortunately the code-base I have has diverged from what is in Cobalt so it is taking longer than I had at first hoped. I think the best approach will be to default to software mode and allow you to toggle hardware shader support from the menu. I'll leave it to other people to decide if shader support is good or bad in Croquet. -Peter On Oct 20, 2008, at 12:43 PM, Steve Wart wrote:

Hi John,
I just tested your latest release and was quite impressed. The ninja avatar gives a nice new experience :) I had one problem on my Linux box showing the avatar heading towards me, instead of heading away from me. That's funny but confusing :) - Also, when moving fast, the animation becomes somehow spastic (SCNR) and doesn't stop when the avatar stands still. I have to make a new slow move to synchronize the animation again. Thomas Braun |

Yeah, that's just the animation coordinate system not matching ours. The ninja we're using is a freely available avatar and when someone builds some more with compatible alignment we'll use those (Hint, hint!). Worst case, if it turns out that there is too much variance in avatar coordinates we'll work out a correction facility. - Also, when I think there may be a glitch in cutting the animations together and it didn't stop/start at just the right point....I see a small jump even when moving slowly. I'm not seeing the animations fail to stop. I'll forward your observations to Peter. Cheers, -- John -- John Dougan [hidden email] |

I get the same error on Windows (actually it says GL_ARB_transpose_matrix is not present) although my laptop has a very capable graphics card. I had a few problems getting this build to find opengl32.dll and openal32.dll that I didn't have with croquet - in the end I had to copy the .exe and the .dlls into the same directory as my .image file.

Question about media integration into Cobalt
|
|
I was curious if anyone knew if we're able to integrate audio and video into a Cobalt world. I recall under a release of the Croquet Collaborative that there was drag and drop support for these, but that there were stability issues. Rich White, of Edusim, suggested that support was being examined for Cobalt but was unable to provide any other details.
While drag and drop of audio/video was rather handy, I was interested in seeing if integration of audio/video could be done on a persistant basis (ie. saved within a world and started on load up of that area).
Any thoughts, advice or finger pointing in a particular direction appreciated.
Regards,
Paul

Re: Question about media integration into Cobalt
|

Hi Paul,
Regarding sound, recently for a project, I've done both in the 2D morphic part. I've embedded .wav sound in the image via drag and drop (into the Squeak 2D world outside of the 3D world. But I played the sound by writing programming software routines. Because .wav files are so big, I didn't want to save them in the image, so I wrote software to play it after reading the .wav file from disk, thus keeping the image size down. The .mp3 support didn't play the files someone created for me. Apparently Squeak/Cobalt only plays an older version of .mp3. You'll have to check that out.
You can't save the image with the 3D world running currently. Cheers, Darius _______________

I should note in Sophie we built an entire infrastructure to allow the
drag and drop of video, either to import the media into a book (local storage) or retain the URL that pointed to the media to allow for streaming when one clicked. We accomplished the streaming by taking advantage of the fact that Quicktime is available on all macintoshs, and now has a fair penetration on Windows machines because ITunes is everywhere. We used FFI to interact with Quicktime with an optional plugin that provides Squeak semaphore triggering on frame syncs (never implemented on windows). The infrastructure is a number of classes to determine the media type and vote on which plugin should mange it. This included Quicktime, the old MP3 player, and OGG witth a variety of sound codec that are built into Squeak rounding out the bottom, which then provided limited support on machines without Quicktime. Obviously with some work this could be extended to supporting GStreamer which is available on Windows and Unix machines, (also on macintosh if you install 138 ports)...
