[LinuxSSN-devel] Control System

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

I made a change so that the heading, speed and depth can all now be
adjusted by clicking on the arrows.  Also, made a change so that Up
arrow increases numbers and Down arrow decreases numbers.  I'm fairly
happy with the way the left side of the control station works, so
probably not many more changes unless someone sees something they want
adjusted.

Re: [LinuxSSN-devel] Updates to Control System

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

Several changes to the control station today.  To make the sub dive
deeper, click on the down arrow to the left of the heading compass.  The
arrow should turn from orange to green.  Now click in the boxes of the
ordered depth to change the ones digit, tens digit, etc.  To make sub go
shallower, click on the up arrow.    

[LinuxSSN-devel] Heading Control Fixed

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

Working on the Control Station:  Fixed the heading control.  Click
inside the circle to move to the desired heading.  

As far as the depth control, I'm wondering if there is a better way to
do it than we had before.  I'm wondering if a vertical bar would be
better.  We could click inside the bar at the desired depth. Another way
would be to use another gauge similar to the heading gauge.  Any
preference or is another way better?

Hehe, being married I know what you mean.

[LinuxSSN-devel] new control icons

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

Just a quick note, I've been adding new icons for updating the control
station so we can change directions, etc.  So, when you do a cvs update,
you'll have to uncompress the data.tgz file again.

Re: [LinuxSSN-devel] North_South Display

[Michael B. <mic...@ve...>]

Cool, I spent the holiday weekend getting alsa sound drivers and
wireless networking drivers up and running on my laptop. But my wife is
going on a week long trip leaving me some guilt free coding time ;-)

Re: [LinuxSSN-devel] North_South Display

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

Well, it almost works.  Still need to make the baffle area switch when
north_south display is changed.

Yea!! My North_South CRT Display button actually works.

[LinuxSSN-devel] North_South Display

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

Hello all,

I'm off from work this week, so I'll try to work on the sim in between
naps, beer, etc. ;-)

Today, I added a North_South CRT Display button to sonar.  I don't know
if the location looks right, but its easy to move if we can think of
somewhere better to place it.

[LinuxSSN-devel] Web site updated

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

I posted some new pictures on my web site of LinuxSSN.

Re: [LinuxSSN-devel] Radar/Periscope updates to OpenGL CVS

[LinuxSSN-devel] Radar/Periscope updates to OpenGL CVS

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

More updates to CVS:

1.  Radar now displays targets, bearing scale works.  Some work not done
yet:  fading contacts after sweep passes, displaying range rings.

2.  More work on periscope class.  Note the ships are displayed visually
about 10% of true range, so I can compare visual to radar, sonar, etc.
For my testing, ships appear to be tracking correctly. yea!!!  

[LinuxSSN-devel] Periscope

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

Posted an update to CVS OpenGl branch to display targets in periscope. 
As a first step, I made the target shapes simple 3d boxes using the
glutSolidCube function.  


By drawing a few line of sight (LOS) diagrams and checking the sonar
display, I think I've convinced myself that the targets are moving
correctly.  If anyone has a chance, you might verify my results.   

[LinuxSSN-devel] Game Clock

[Michael B. <mic...@ve...>]

Added a game clock class to both the main and OpenGl branch.

[LinuxSSN-devel] Re: Re:Next Steps

[Joe V. <jo...@ve...>]

My ssn3d stuff should run fairly quickly EXCEPT for the version with water, which reduces my gaming rig to crawling around at under 20 fps and is in dire need of some optimization.  Perhaps you should just use a big flat ocean until the water stuff I did gets more refined and optimized....

Hehe, for me laptops always seem to run hot.  I guess we should compare 
the SDL version and the OpenGL version to see if the OpenGL is using 
tones more resources.  Some of the bmp textures are pretty huge, maybe 
thats part of the problem. How fast does Joe's ssn3d run on the laptop? 
 My laptop at work has too slow of a video card to run much of 
anything.  

[LinuxSSN-devel] Next Steps

[Joe V. <jo...@ve...>]

I've been extremely busy recently and I won't have much time over the next few weeks, but this summer I should have a lot of extra time to work on programming projects.  If you guys need help or have questions with my 3d code, though, feel free to ask me about it.

Re: [LinuxSSN-devel] Next Steps

[Michael B. <mic...@ve...>]

Cool. My job position is changing again so I think it will afford me
more time to ponder the code. And I got a new laptop and have everything
loaded on it to deev-on-the-go ;-)

On a related note have you noticed what a CPU resource hog this sim is?
When I run it on my laptop it turns it into a hair dryer with all the
heat comming out the backend...

[LinuxSSN-devel] Next Steps

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

I think I'll have some few time in the next fews weeks, so I would like
to work on adding Joe's ssn3d code to linuxssn.  It would be great when
we can see something out of the periscope other than that lame water
texture. :-)

[LinuxSSN-devel] Okay that was interesting....

[Michael B. <mic...@ve...>]

Alright, I committed changes to main and sonar.h & .cpp that has a sonar
surface updateing and displayable... I must say it was one of THE most
bizarre times I've had programming in awhile... After 4 hours of messing
with SDL_Create Surface for some reason (I'm sure it's a good one) I
found I could only use 24Bpp surfaces to convert to textures... Then I
had to figure out why the screen was upside down, and messing around
with all those floating point numbers trying to get the size and
position right.. Sheesh!

[LinuxSSN-devel] Re: Now marks the beginning: The Parade of Stupid OpenGL Questions

[Joe V. <jo...@ve...>]

That sounds exactly right.  Did you get the little bit of example code I sent to the development list a while ago?  I still haven't actually tried it out, so let me know if you run into problems -- but it should work.

Joe Venzon

p.s. Sorry I haven't had much time to work on the project recently.

[LinuxSSN-devel] Now marks the beginning: The Parade of Stupid OpenGL Questions

[Michael B. <mic...@ve...>]

Okay, I'm at a point where I would like to start using SDL_Surfaces as
textures. I was wondering once I create a texture out of a surface,
doesn't the texture get sent to the graphic cards memory to hold. If so,
I am assuming I will have to modify the texture each time I wish to
paste my surface to the screen. I keep the same handle I get from
glBindTexture, and work with glTexImage2D when I want to refresh the
texture?

Hmm... Wish me luck!

[LinuxSSN-devel] OpenGL Branch Update

[Rick M. <ri...@sw...>]

The first update to the OpenGL branch of linuxssn is posted.  A few
notes: 

As Michael stated earlier, use the following command to checkout a
working copy:
cvs -z3 -d:ext:YOURNAMEHERE@cv...:/cvsroot/linuxssn co -r opengl
linuxssn

If it works, you'll end up with the normal files plus a 'README' file
and a data.tgz file.  Uncompress the data.tgz file.  Hopefully, it
should uncompress the data files to a directory labeled ~/Data.

For some reason, I"ve noticed that the first time the code is executed
it takes ~5 sec for the title screen to appear.  But after the first
run, the tittle screen appears immediately. I"m curious to see if anyone
else has a similar effect and how it can be fixed.

Re: [LinuxSSN-devel] Re: CVS Id tag

[Michael B. <mic...@ve...>]

Very good, I'm looking forward to hacking around on it. My wife is going
on a trip leaving me with alot of free time ;-).=20

Sounds like a great idea!  I'll add the changes to the OpenGL code.  I'm
thinking about making the first update the CVS branch tomorrow.
