Next week? Really? Thats pretty fast Niko, you must be drinking a lot of coffee
With this release will we be able to run the Quake3map example and not run thru walls?

[niko]

Yes, and walk stairs up and down. And the best: Its just 2 lines of code to make this possible for every scene node: You'll just have to add a "CollisionAndResponseSceneNodeAnimator" to your scene node. I think this could not be easier.
In the 0.4 release there will be a lot of changes, more changes and new features than in any release before. Because of this, I'll release it next week, although there may be some small things missing I told they get in.

CollisionAndResponseSceneNodeAnimator

What is this, an attempt at the longest variable name in a 3D engine?!

Thanks for making me spit my coffee onto my keyboard.

CollisionAndResponseSceneNodeAnimator = Awesome way of handling collissions idea!

It might not be new, but it's outside the box of what I was thinking. And it allows for an amazing amount of interactions.

When I think of stair climbing, I usually do the:

Code: Select all

If (wall == hit)
  check if height of  wall < climb-ability

Now it would be

Code: Select all

If (wallsectionhit == stair)
   camera.height += stepsize

or 

If (portal.hit)
   teleport to other place

Just making sure that the underlying renderer code isn't going to change, right. So, we won't have to rewrite and compile anything written in the old engine. Thanks
