I had installed the binaries of the ODE engine, and would like
to use it with my DGSDK.
I want to use the interface of "ODEPhysics.h" that is supplied by
TGC (for the ODE-dll purpose) rather than the ODE's origin interface, but I have difficulties with setting.

Had anyone has any success with such a thing?

my spec:
VC++ 2003
DXSDK Oct 2005
ODE: ode-bin-0.5-msvc-SINGLE-release-trimesh

I managed to get the ODE dll code working in DarkSDK at the weekend. I remember I had to #define DARKSDK_COMPILE (or something very similar, I don't have my code here right now) and comment out a duplicate g_pGlob pointer that conflicted in the dll code. I got it working anyway, and I have exactly the same setup as you. What problems are you having?

These are the steps I took:
1. I've copied the camera sample project into a different name
2. I've deleted its content and replaced it with the following code:



3. Added an existing item to the project (ODEPhysics.cpp)
4. set project->directories->include with the path of "ODEPhysics.h", path of <ode-installed-dir>\include
5. set project->directories->lib with <ode-installed-dir>\lib

Except of the duplicated 'struct GlobStruct * g_pGlob' I get the following linker errors.
What have I missed?

Probably the path to the ODE library files...

You aren't linking in the ODE libraries (*not* the DBPro/ODE layer). You need the ode.lib and opcode.lib files to be linked with your app.

Thanks, I did link the odb.lib from the beginning, but surprisingly I have no such library as opcode.lib
Maybe I've missed something with the ODE configuration.

The OPCODE library is optional as far as I remember, it's used in the trimesh collision (which I always found to be a little ropey with ODE anyway).

Adding #pragma comment (lib, "ode.lib") to the top of ODEPhysics.cpp should fix your linker errors, or you could add ode.lib to the project settings, same result in the end

I've "translated" the second ODE DBPro tutorial that was posted in last month magazine - into C++, it compiled, linked, ran and crashed.
When I commented out the ODE's commands it run ok.

Here is the code. Please try it and let me know whats wrong:

That code runs fine for me unfortunately. I get a green plane and various objects fall on top of each other.

I've tried both Release and Debug and they both run fine here. Do you have any more information about the crash, like a call stack?

YES!

It works! the #define DARKSDK_COMPILE has to be on top of
"ODEPhysics.cpp" and not in main.cpp as I put it before.

Thanks Kaiyodo

Ah, I had DARKSDK_COMPILE in my project settings which is why it worked on mine. Glad you got it working

Hi,

Sorry for the probably obvious question, but where did you get the "ODEPhysics.h" file from?

Cheers

Hi,

I think you can get it from the DBPro 5.9 Update Page. Just download the EXTRAS from here:

http://darkbasicpro.thegamecreators.com/?f=upgrade_5_9

And here of course you get the ODE source:

http://www.ode.org

But don't ask me for help, I haven't used this yet...

greets,
Barnski.
