Hi, I will present you my new baby . A rotation plugin such as EZ-Rotate. I go a lightly different way as the author of ez-rotate but it works very good for me. I think it is for almost every a useful plugin.

Here the plugin download.
File: eXtendetRotation-plugin_[en]_20111215.zip - 3.3 MB (Uploading)
Forum download

Here a demo download (Asteroidfield with an Elite like Scaner)
File: xrot-Example.7z - 6.3 MB (Uploading)
Forum download

The Source code of the demo.


And the commands of the Plugin (over 160 commands). The most of them are only wrapped from the DirectX-SDK.

XROT


DXVEC3


DXMAT


DXQUAT


DXPLANE


DBOBJ


DBCAM


Questions, suggestions and comments are welcome. I hope you find not many bugs

@MadBit

thanks

stuff happens

at leas you got it posted ;o)

I was just wondering why you have not posted it in the forums ?

I own EZ-Rotate and the missle to ship example I was tweaking
I had two missles following the ship and I could control the ship speed
the next part I was working on was getting the misiles to stay a distance from each other

thanks for your work

I've been playing with Radar example

I upped the following
1. number of Meteor's to 700 - no major loss of cps
2. Radar Range - 3000

but I wanted to add was to find out which object was the farthest away




dose not seam to work

the next part was to add to the menu and I made a function to
make it simpler to do

aaa nope that dose not work either

My math looks like it's correct



can some one tell me what I did wrong or whats missing

the original F1 pop up menu

@Resourceful

The asteroids are randomly set in a radius of 1000.0 units. Which provides that all asteroids are closer to 50000.0 units. So put 0.0 on initial dist# then it should work .

the second ...
i'm not so familar with DB i programming mainly in C/C++. I don't know what your code will do. But here is my solution for this what i mean you wanted to achieve!??

first init string-table



and than output so ...

@MadBit

ok I understand

the only thing what I programed for the displaying text should work
apparently only in theory

2 more things I want to add to this example are

Show locked target on main viewer
Store target location to F4 TO F7

this should not take me long to add

the now old x-wing and tie fighter game had this
and with this example I can play around with it so to speak

Again thanks for creating the plugin and the example

That adds many special rotation und other math's commands to DBPro.
See the first post. The commands under XROT are special rotation commands. I think the names of the commands are nearly selfexplained.

Section DXVEC3, DXMAT, DXQUAT and DXPLANE are wrapped from the DirectX-SDK. I think this can be useful for the one or other.

Section DBOBJ and DBCAM are for easy access from/to DB Object's/Camera's with DXMAT ore DXVEC3

Hi Madbit. I am trying to contact you about a couple of questions I have about your XML plugin. Unfortunately, the "Yet another XML-Plugin" thread is now locked and I don't want to hi-jack this thread. Shall I post a question in the DBPro forum and you can respond there? Or if you want to post an e-mail address . . . (maybe not).

Less than 6 months without any thread activity and he's already locked? this must be a joke.

Sure you can post your question in the PBPro-Forum. i keep an eye on this forum.

Well done MadBit! Looks really good. Can you please attach it to any of your posts so it's not lost when the file sharing site goes bust (as most do recently). Thanks!

@MadBit

every line is as it appears in the example

I did a copy and past of what you posted

if I turn off the loop the error dose not come up

I know this happens some time ago with 2 other plug-in's
ware it too plug-in's needed a tiny word change to work

but in this case it comes as file not found

This is embarrassing me now. I can't remember me. That's what happens when you do not write a change log. what a shame.
I think the changes was nothing important.
