Can you be more clear?

The official Blender 2.42 physics demos are:
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/e ... view34.zip

This contains a vehice demo vehicle3_Steering fix.blend

This demo should still work with Blender 2.43. There is no work planned for this at the moment (no time).

Thanks,
Erwin

yea thats the one. vehicle3_Steering fix.blend

was just wondering if its going to be updated at all. if its always going to be a script.

im not rushing or aking you to do it.. was just wondering about it

think i'll use it to make some demos..

Having a better GUI for vehicles etc. would be nice, but not for Blender 2.43 release. Perhaps later.

I am going to change the axis to be defined in degrees, instead of radians.
This means you can precisely specify 90 degrees etc. However, it will break your nice demos again.

Can you upgrade your demos using preview 9?
Thanks,
Erwin

For the 2.43 preview 9, It seems most of my demos still work and use the radian method? or is it still using the old scripts? i don't know, but anyway they all still seem to still use radian instead of degrees

Edit - it seems even a newly created file uses the radian method
Edit 2 - created new in 2.43 preview 9 - http://www.box.net/public/89b0p4qe57

OK, the preview9 for Windows was accidently still the old version (Mac OS X preview9 is fine).

Please use preview 9b (or later):

oh wow thanks erwin! everything working good again.. odd tho sometimes the bounds are off the object.. even after a alt-r & ctrl-a and also(but it seems random that my problem of parenting/child compounding, and yup i dont use compound on the children and i do set the bounds on children.. seems random for some reason, sometimes it works sometimes not.. kinda odd.

Edit - another bug?

after applying the alt-r & ctrl-a and applying box bounds to the "floor" cube
i go into edit mode and move the vertices down one and the bounds are messed up.
Here is the example same floor, one with moved vertices

Edit 2 - sorry about all the silly questions.. it seem if i hit "center new" it fixes the bounds.. but should we really have to do that? i dont really now if theres a reason for it or not


[admin] -> please read the Physics Tips, especially tip 8:

Here is the trampoline demo that I created. It is now updated for preview 9b just like you requested.

nope.. applying "center new" did not correct this..

example - http://www.box.net/public/8gv7tx2kty

oh I'm also not complaining about stuff not working
just trying to find bugs

ok heres a file with the compound bug.. for some reason it dont always work

http://www.box.net/public/5bfgry67hh

the wheel is parented to the "truck" chasse with compound clicked on the chasse

Woot! thx erwin, checking preview 10 now
