Re: Riptide GP: Renegade

Thanks benelot, here are some answers to your questions: - I am interested if a game like this needs a lot of physics tweaking to get realistic effects? Yes, I suppose you could say that. Bullet is used for all rigid body dynamics and collision detection. The water is simulated by our custom engine,...

Re: Beach Buggy Racing (New Kart Racing Game by Vector Unit)

Thanks guys! We also released builds for Windows 8.1 (Store & Phone) a couple of weeks ago. Windows Phone is doing surprisingly well, surpassing the performance (monetization) of the Amazon mobile store. Of course it's still a distant third to iTunes/GooglePlay, but it's more relevant now than K...

Re: 100m drop at 9.81m/s: tunneling through btHeightfieldTer

body->setCcdMotionThreshold(1)
The Motion Threshold is a distance, and you're setting it to 1m. I would suggest setting it to the cylinder radius or less (10cm).

Re: New btInternalEdgeUtility has been added

I've managed to save btTriangleInfoMap into our resource file now, with no bullet hacks, I just had to find a way to de-private the class (which is writing a bit hacky public class that looks the same as btHashMap, and just casting it). On build time I just endian swap the data and save, and on loa...

Re: Bullet under XBOX360 using XDK official SDK

We're using a 'pretty much vanilla' implementation of Bullet on the 360 with good (shippable) results. Here's what we did: 1. Enabled the native fsel intrinsic. To do this, we simply changed "#if WIN32" to "#if defined (WIN32) || defined (_XBOX)" in btScalar.h. 2. Parallelized ex...

Re: New issue with gContactAddedCallback in Bullet 2.75

There are 3 main use cases of the part ID, did you check all 3 with the fix? The change I made is localized to only change the parameters passed to the gContactAddedCallback, nothing else. I simply changed the parameters back to what they were in RC3, which solves our issue. I did not take a deeper...

New issue with gContactAddedCallback in Bullet 2.75

First of all, thanks for getting v2.75 out the door, a great accomplishment!! We just upgraded from v2.75 RC3 to the release version and ran into an issue with gContactAddedCallback: Between RC3 and release, a change was made in btManifoldResult.cpp which breaks the partId and index parameters for g...

Re: Potential bug with setLocalScaling() and broadphase update.

Bullet 2.74 will have a btCollisionWorld::updateSingleAabb(btCollisionObject*), that you can call instead of removing/adding the object back.
I just upgraded our engine to v2.74, and this new feature works like a charm. Thanks!
