[Plib-users] Hm... i got another question... but nobody answered to my last ones....

[SkyFlash <sky...@ch...>]

Anyway... Id REALLY like to get my PLIB client going here, but I spent
like 3 weeks just to get the animations working, and the current way I
do it looks like a workaround to me...

Now, I have bad crashes happening on a regular bases, and I know it has
to do with refcount.

Basicly, I call a removeKid in my Objects destructor (cause the object
has an ssgSelector node attached to it) and I get a crash.

Here it is:

PLibObject::~PLibObject() line 108

The code for the destructor:

if (m_Anim)
	renderer->scene->removeKid (m_Anim);

scene is valid, m_Anim is valid.

I see no reason for it to crash, anyway. Also, I dont get why its
starting to delete stuff down the row. On loading the model I ref()
every object one time so it doesnt get deleted, and then I finally clone
the ssgSelector that I get from the ASE loader. Somehow, the cloning
seems to be a real problem child. I did already fix a few bugs in my
code, where cloning just didnt work.

And as the documentation for PLIB is virtually non existant, I am having
real problems finding solutions on my own....
If anyone can tell, I am a little bit in a bad mood right now, having
spent another 5 hours of my life inside the PLIB source code, not
finding what I was looking for anyway. :)

Anyway, the fire particle system also doesnt work. I copied it straight
over to my code, and it doesnt work in the best case, and in the worst
case it crashes instantly. I have no clue why this could happen, or what
I could be doing wrong, and I didnt find any API or docs about it
either... HELP!
