Car Physics Demo

[trekdude2007]

I've been trying to get the Car Physics demo (the one that demos the 6.5 beta physics stuff) to go.

It crashes with VB6 when it trys to generate a terrain.

(1) Does anyone know how to get it to work?

(2) Does anyone know of a VB.Net version? (when VB converts it , it still crashes)

(3) Are there any other Car Physic demo progs that use 6.5 physics?

Thanks

Change any reference to "= New TVLandscape"

in the code to "= TVScene->CreateLandscape" instead. Landscapes cannot be initialized the old way any more.

Thanks Sybixus yes that was the prob.

Still working on the CarPhysics program while working out the new 6.5 beta physics.

The landscape renders, but appears to be reversed. ie the car is sitting on a black void. If i tilt the camera down and look under the landscape I can see the rock texture of the land scape reversed underneath. (and slight images of car wheels sitting on other side)

Anyone know what the problem is and how to get the terrain texture to render on top.

Thanks

Don't worry. Was something to do with .setcullmode.

Trekdude, is there a way to get the sourcecode for this demo somehow?

I work in delphi but even vb code can help a lot to learn these features.

Hi Bart

The following texture are missing from the demo zip file named CarPhysics.zip:

Shadow.png
Entity.png

Moreover the program contains the following line

 .Balance Car.VehicleID

that refers to an unsupported method/property of the class "Physics"

And let me remember you to replace:
set land = new landscape
with
Set Land = Scene.CreateLandscape("")

So let us know when the demo is properly running...

I converted a Car Physics demo from C# to VB6.
