1	Java Game APIs & Engines / Java Sound & OpenAL / JOAL or not?	on: 2010-03-28 22:00:41
Hello. I'm looking for a nice sound library for 2D and 3D sound, naturally i tought of JOAL. I've seen talk about JOAL being dead. Is it on hold or are there some new fancy sound library that eventually will take over? JOAL is more than enough for my needs so I will most likley go with it. But will there be any updates on JOAL in the future?

Yeah, there are quite a few of those infesting google persecutioncomplex

btw, are there any tutorials using the GL3?
Gl3 contains openGL 3.1 if I understod correctly?

1 2	GL3 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL3(); //gl.glMatrixMode(GL3.GL_PROJECTION); this don't exist inn the GL3 interface, same goes for the GL2GL3 interface

Is it meant to mix the GL2 and GL3 depending on what you to do, eg:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

 GL2 gl2 = drawable.getGL().getGL2();
 GL3 gl3 = drawable.getGL().getGL3();

 gl2.glMatrixMode(GL2.GL_PROJECTION);
 gl2.glLoadIdentity();

gl3.glBindBuffer(height, height);//random method avaibalbele with GL3

or is the GL3 syntaxs completly new, I've now that GL3 is supose to be a major change to the API, but still backwards compatible?

I remebered follwong a tutorial getting JOGLE running using eclipse. The tutorial said to put jogl.jar + dll files in the Java SDK..stupid. Anyways, I re-installed the Java SDK and evrything works fine now. thank you for your help. Must say that this plugin saves the programmer lots's of tidious set up environment work, Net Beans is the way to go when dealing with JOGL

Actually before installing the beta plugin I installed etbeans-opengl-pack_0.5.5 at first. Found out that that it only contained JOGL 1. So I uninstalled Netbeans, re installeda it and the added the newer plugin. Does is set up a system variable or something, e.g reinstalling net beans wasn't enough?? //HermanssoN

Hello, just downloaded and installed latest neatbeans and the open gl pack plugin. I created a new project with the JOGL template (simple) and got a bunch of errors, eg: Quote cannot find symbol symbol : method getGL2() org.yourorghere.SimpleJOGL2 is not abstract and does not override abstract method displayChanged(javax.media.opengl.GLAutoDrawable,boolean,boolean) in javax.media.opengl.GLEventListener public class SimpleJOGL2 implements GLEventListener { cannot find symbol symbol : constructor GLCapabilities(javax.media.opengl.GLProfile) location: class javax.media.opengl.GLCapabilities GLCapabilities capabilities = new GLCapabilities(GLProfile.get(GLProfile.GL2)); The missing implementation of displayChanged is not a problem, just add it. but the otehr errors are not as easy. I know that the plugin for JOGL 2 (netbeans-opengl-pack_0.6_beta) is a work in progress but I assume that the start up framewrok should work automaticly. I use: Windows XP Net Beans 6.7.1 with the netbeans-opengl-pack_0.6_beta plugin Iv'e used JOGL 1.1 before, not with Net Beans tough. //HermanssoN

You wouldn't happen to have the same problem with mouse input?

Same story It seems like I don't recive any event for mouse stop. I tried to switch to another mouse but no change there either. I got a steady -1 in x and y. :/

Also worth mentioning is that if I use this loop when polling the mouse evry thing works perfectly:

m_mouse.poll();
            
      m_mouseQueue = m_mouse.getEventQueue();
      Event event = new Event();
      while( m_mouseQueue.getNextEvent(event))
      {
         Component c = event.getComponent();
         float data = c.getPollData();
         if(data != 0.0f )
         {
            m_mouseDown.put(c.getIdentifier(), true);
            
                        
         }
         else
         {
            
            m_mouseDown.put(event.getComponent().getIdentifier(), false);

      }
      m_deltaMouse.x = m_mouse.getX().getPollData();
      m_deltaMouse.y = m_mouse.getY().getPollData();

If I use this version delta mouse won't be set to 0.0f when mouse is still:

            m_deltaMouse.y = 0.0f;
         }
               
      }

I allso tryed to get all data from the event as you mentioned above, when pointing out that I was mixing the old polling with the newer queue system, but the result is the same as the atempt above,:

I found the error.

I used following before creatingmy controlls

1	System.setProperty("jinput.plugins", "net.java.games.input.DirectInputEnvironmentPlugin");

If I remove that no erros occure.

11	Java Game APIs & Engines / JInput / Re: Axis values always -1 prior to input	on: 2009-10-05 21:32:33
oh, I totaly iverted the meaning of Dead Zone dead zone is the amount of thrust the controll can take with out registeting the input. Anyways, what I mean is that I had to compensate for the false inut that the conotroll gave off by default, most likly becaus it was old, like the ancient Sidewinder yo mentioned.

12	Java Game APIs & Engines / JInput / Re: Axis values always -1 prior to input	on: 2009-10-05 21:21:01
Could it be deadzone value?? I've never used other stuff than keyboard and mouse with JInput, I have how ever used it in a C++ app. In my case the game pad always returned like 0.2 so my character would spin with out me using the controll. I know that JInput has a getDeadZone(). by prior to input you mean before you actualy use the controll, the you get god values?

on: 2009-10-05 20:57:27

I didn't realize that it was a class in the JInput API, I tought it was an executable.

anyways, I don't understand how to use it, I tryed this:

public static void main( String[]args)
{
      System.setProperty("jinput.plugins", "net.java.games.util.plugins.test.PluginTest");

}

I got this message:

Oh we posted at the same time

I fixed the double m_deltaMouse.y = x. Very clumsy of me Sad

but the eror message still is spammed?

well eclipse is running of course, Windows media player and Google Chrome.

         Component c = event.getComponent();
         float data = c.getPollData();
         if(data != 0.0f )
         {
            m_mouseDown.put(c.getIdentifier(), true);

         else
         {
            m_mouseDown.put(event.getComponent().getIdentifier(), false);
                     }
               
      }
      m_deltaMouse.x = m_mouse.getX().getPollData();
      m_deltaMouse.y = m_mouse.getY().getPollData();

No bigg change:

       f.setSize(sizeX, sizeY);
      
       Container content = f.getContentPane();
       
       content.setBackground(Color.white);
       f.addWindowListener(new ExitListener());
       f.setVisible(true);

       {

             System.exit(0);
             break;
          }
          float dx = SharkInput.getInstance().getMouse().getDelta().x;
          float dy = SharkInput.getInstance().getMouse().getDelta().y;
          if(dx  != 0.0f || dy  != 0.0f)
          {
             sizeX += dx;
             sizeY += dy;
             
             f.setSize(sizeX,sizeY);
          }
                    
       }
      
   }

The window should resize after my mouse movement and it does. But I still get the : Failed to poll device: Device is released.
Is it normal to get that? cause it seems to work.
And I guess using eclipse ouput don't give me the correct readning, most likley to many update per second. The out put will be filled instantly.

Java Game APIs & Engines / JInput / Failed to poll device: Device is released??

Hello, I'm trying to implement Mouse input. I've brought up the topic in another thread when asking questions about the keyboard. The reason I made a whole new thread is caus Iv'e got the error:

1	Failed to poll device: Device is released

I'm trying to get the mouse movement using this loop:

      Event event = new Event();
      while( m_mouseQueue.getNextEvent(event))
      {
         Component c = event.getComponent();
         float data = c.getPollData();
         if(data != 0.0f )
         {
                                //boolean hash map
            m_mouseDown.put(c.getIdentifier(), true);
            //deadZone is always 0.0...
                                m_deltaMouse.x = m_mouse.getX().getPollData();
            m_deltaMouse.x = m_mouse.getY().getPollData();
                        
         }
         else
         {
            m_mouseDown.put(event.getComponent().getIdentifier(), false);
            m_deltaMouse.x = 0.0f;
            m_deltaMouse.x = 0.0f;
         }
               
      }

in my main loop I print the values to the output console in Eclipse and get:

and so on...

It seems like JInput looses and regains contact wit my mouse??

I'm using windows xp, and the mouse is a Razer Krait

I also have a question about mouse input.

I can't seem to get the correct relative mouse position.

if I use event queue for the mouse it almost works, but when I hold my mouse still I still get realtive movemnt of atleast 1.0f;

if I use this approatch:

1
2
3

m_mouse.poll();
m_deltaMouse.x = m_mouse.getX().getPollData()
m_deltaMouse.y = m_mouse.getY().getPollData()

the values are constant 0.0 in both X and Y.

I use windows xp.

my test app looks like this:

       content.setBackground(Color.white);
       f.addWindowListener(new ExitListener());
       f.setVisible(true);
       
       while( true )
       {
          Input.getInstance().capture();
          //Keyboard works fine
                if( Input.getInstance().getKeyboard().isKeyDown(Identifier.Key.Q))
          {
             System.exit(0);
             break;
          }
                 //event mode work's poor, "imidate" mode don't work at all"
          System.out.println("delta mouse x : "+Input.getInstance().getMouse().getDelta().x );
          System.out.println("delta mouse y : "+Input.getInstance().getMouse().getDelta().y );
           
                 //Mouse has no dead zone....
          System.out.println("\ndead zone x : "+Input.getInstance().getMouse().getDeadZone().x );
          System.out.println("\ndead zone y : "+Input.getInstance().getMouse().getDeadZone().y );
       }
      
   }

}
 class ExitListener extends WindowAdapter {
     public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) 
     {
       System.exit(0);
     }
     
   }

btw: I don't check mouse and keyboard poll in the same loop, does the getEventQueue() "steal events", feels likt that's not the case Huh

I made a quick test and it seems to work fine.
I haven't worked with HasMaps before, they are quite nice

Java Game APIs & Engines / JInput / EventQueue on key released?(ANSWERD), simple Keyboard class example posted

on: 2009-10-04 11:55:16

Hello.

Does JInput send an event when a key is released??

basicly I wan't to know if this check is valid:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15

m_keyboard.poll();
      m_keyboardQueue = m_keyboard.getEventQueue();
      Event event = new Event();
      while( m_keyboardQueue.getNextEvent(event))
      {
         float data = event.getComponent().getPollData();
         if(data != 0.0f )
         {
            //Key is down, this check will work for sure


         }
         else
         {
            //Key was released, does this work??
         }
      }

Hello. I'm wondering if I can load a float array, float[][], to open GL using glLoadMatrixf ?? if that's not possible I supose I just could create a method that transforms it to a normal float [], that would't affect the performance, would it? //HermanssoN
