The 32 bit joal definitely doesn't work on 64 bit vista or windows7. I would appreciate if anybody could give me a 64 bit version.
I would not change to lwjgl in my game project. i'm already using jogl ...

i know i have been using JFrame-based rendering for years, but native windows would give much better performance, that is why i would like to use it...

Thanks anyway!

See demos.GLInfo code from Jogl2.0 demo src.

Dear All,

Could anybody help me how to set the cursor in jogl2 when using native window?


Thanks in advance!

After having refreshed the Jogl2.0 library from 07.09 to 07.21, the joal throws this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sun.gluegen.runtime.BufferFactory.isDirect(Ljava/nio/Buffer;)Z
   at net.java.games.joal.impl.ALCImpl.alcCreateContext(ALCImpl.java:129)

Any help is much appreciated ....

Hello,


i tried to use the addXListener methods in com.sun.javafx.newt.opengl.GLWindow and com.sun.javafx.newt.Window but haven't received any mousewheel event.
I tried the demo code found in jogl2 demos and the result is the same. No System.err.println() appears on the console. (demo app's name: NEWTTest1)
How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

(I found this to receive mouse events: http://blog.jausoft.com/2009/06/29/jogl-newt-multiple-threads-windows/)

Hello!

I'm developing a 2D game, and i'm a little bit confused about this jogl 2.0. I used GLCanvas in a JFrame instance using FPSAnimator several years ago, but i'm not sure if i understand the native window concept.
Is there any way to limit the FPS of a native window?
I haven't found a good tutorial for 2.0. Is there any available?

Thanks in advance!

Fixed, Thanks...

Hello,

Could anybody give me a right link to this document? http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/nightly/jogl-2.0-docs.zip
The one referenced by the jogl page cannot be found.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

could anybody help me to find the joal 1.1.3 binary distribution for windows platform?


Tanks in advance!

Sore, i make is tonight.

Hello,

i have a joal initializing code which worked on tiger )mac os x 10.4.10) but it doesn't work at Leopard (10.5)
When i run it, i think some thread problem appers, i see the "waiting" cursor and nothing happens, my jogl code doesn't get the control.


Here it is:

        deviiceName = "Core Audio";
        defauldDeviiceName =
                ConfigurationReader.getStringValueHandlingNull( ConfigurationReader.result, "openal_default" );


        alc = ALFactory.getALC();
        al = ALFactory.getAL();


        ALCdevice device;
        ALCcontext context;
        String deviceSpecifier;

        // Get handle to device.
        try{
            device = alc.alcOpenDevice( deviiceName );
        }catch(Exception e){
            device = alc.alcOpenDevice( defauldDeviiceName );
        }

        // Get the device specifier.
        deviceSpecifier = alc.alcGetString(device, ALC.ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER);

        System.out.println("Using device " + deviceSpecifier);

        // Create audio context.
        context = alc.alcCreateContext(device, null);
        // Set active context.
        alc.alcMakeContextCurrent(context);

        // Check for an error.
        if (alc.alcGetError(device) != ALC.ALC_NO_ERROR)
            return AL.AL_FALSE;


        return AL.AL_TRUE;

i read it in several articles. for example:

Thanks, Ken!

i was very concerned, i read papers and articles all day, and i saw suspicions about Sony PS3 software technology. They talked about a Java VM in the linux OS in PS3.
Have You any information about this? Will it a JSR 239 implementation?

I read, that PS3 will support OpenglES1.2 + CGs...

My question was theoratical actually.

on the JSR 239 page ( http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=239 ), i read this:
"much of the work derived from JSR 231"
So, this package is built on JOGL?

THanks,

what if, i have to use OpenglES 2.0? i haven't found an implementation but for 1.0(fixed pipelines).
using gluegen, could it be easy?

Hello,

i read about OpenGL® ES, and i'm a little bit confused...
is it an opengl-based api?
can jogl support it?


Thanks...

Thanks...

one off-topic question, if you don't mind...

if i'm rendering a lot of geometry (400 tree and terrainpieces), and the JProfiler found the bottleneck: the calls of glDrawRangeElements (96% of cpu usage).
I'm using indexed VBO-s (no nio buffers), triangle_strip models (using nvtristrip).
How can i specify the exact speed problem? How can i interpret this bottleneck? i have a lot of data transfering between cpu and gpu?
If i rewrite the renderer code in my engine, to nio buffers, i receive no performance speed-up?

i read all performance-papers from ati and nvidia and opengl.org, but i don't know what to do with glDrawRangeElements problems...

Please Ken,

clear it up to me too. I'm very confused.
for example: i want to load a model,
a read it's data to a normal Java structures, then i create vbos from them (int[]) and in the rendering circle
using gl.glBindBuffer( GL.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER , vertexVBO[0] );  and then
gl.glVertexPointer( 3, GL.GL_FLOAT, 0, 0 );

if i'm using NIOBuffers, i haven't to use glBindBuffer, just
gl.glVertexPointer( 3, GL.GL_FLOAT, vertexBuffer );
this statement.

is it correct?

Why should i use NIOBuffers, if it doesn't result better performance?

by the way, if i create buffers like this:
FloatBuffer buff = BufferUtil.newFloatBuffer( data.length );
        buff.put( data );
        buff.rewind();

is it correct? when should i use direct or indirect options? or byteorder?



Thanks for your patience

Hello,

is there any speed difference using 'normal' int arrays to store buffers pointers or using IntBuffers? glDrawRangeElements for exaple...


Thanks...

thanks.
i have the rendering problem with 2x fsaa too
10% of program starting ends with failure... this "effect" occurs only in fullscreen mode. strange...

Hello,

i use fullscreen rendering in my game engine, and when i want to use 6x fsaa. the window is black, it wont start to draw anithing, the renderer object doesn't run at all.
With 4x,2x,1x fsaa the rendering is running without a problem.

How can i get the max fsaa value supported by the video card? (i have a NVidia 7600GT)


Thanks...

Hello,

i used gl.glDrawRangeElements( GL.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, group.numIndices, group.numIndices, GL.GL_UNSIGNED_INT, buffer ) method with java.nio.buffers, and later i changed it to gl.glDrawRangeElements( GL.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, group.numIndices, group.numIndices, GL.GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0 )  using VBO.
The speed doesn't chaged at all...
I thought that the Buffers are in the system's memory, and the VBO-s are stored in the video memory...

Using VBO against Buffers should it be faster and the bottleneck is somewhere else?

Any idea could be helpful...

Hello!

I migrated my game engine from jogl 1.1.1 to JSR-231, it's a big code-jungle.
I use the array based version of the methods (glVertexPointer). Should I rewrite my code to buffer based version? Will itt speed up anything significally?

Thanks...

Hello,

i'm poting my game engine from jogl1.1.1 to jsr231 and my question is when should i use the rewind method? allways?
when want to use buffers to fill model matrices? or when i want to use glsl codes?
call it once or every time, when i modeify the buffer's content?
what does the rewind make exactly? and the order methods?


Thanks...

Hello, i'm using java 1.6.0 betas, and there is a Javascript engine built in the Java.
The Javascriupt code can communicate with Java codes(f.e.:call Java methodes, instantiating, etc.) and the Java code can communicate with the Javascript code (f.e.:change some settings, class javascript routines, etc.). So there is full interoperability.

I think, it's fast enough (inner compiling...), and it's an officially built in full-features script language.

I'm using it in my game project.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

i have a game engine using jogl 1.1.1. How can i port it to JSR-231 easily? I'm using VBO, GLSL shaders, etc. Is there a well-documented way to perform the changes?

Thanks...

Hello,
We are using Blender now. We tried the 3Ds Max, Maya, Gamspace too. The Blender is a full-featured 3D modeller, great user interface. Now, that is the only software in use. It is comfortable for anything: modelling, animating, and the it's unwrapping technique is amazing, really amazing...
Insalling is simple, just a 2.4 python is needed. Open-source? hmmm..... it is much better and intuitive than any commercial modeller.
Details: All models are exported in obj, collada and custom formats using python scripts.

Hello,

interesting Java-knowledge. Wow...
Do you like 3D turn-based strategies like Heroes? Please, have a look at: www.blazis.hu
