btStridingMeshInterface::InternalProcessAllTriangles supports only TriStrips for now, but i've got TriList. i've made a quick hack for myself, but would it be better to include ability to handle TriList, TriStrip, and, maybe, TriFan to that interface? I could do that, if you don't have time.

It uses indicies to access vertices, so you can use any topology you want.

It assumes that indicies are in TriStrip topology. My index buffer is TriList.

It actually assumes TriList. Three indices per triangle.

The btStridingMeshInterface supports both triangle arrays and triangle strips, you just have to adjust the index striding.

If you want to use index arrays, you can use an index array like this: ABC-BCD-CDE-DEF with index striding 3*sizeof(integer), giving you 4 triangles ABC,BCD,CDE,DEF.
If you want to use index strips, you can use an index array ABCDEF, and use index striding 1*sizeof(integer), giving you the same 4 triangles.

Hope this helps,
