i have segmentation fault when i try to run opdeMain, built with
* libfreeimage 3.10.0-2
* ogre 1.7.1-ogredev1
(http://sites.google.com/site/warlock24/storage/opde.log?attredirects=0&d=1) opde.log

its weird but today when i was building opde [rev. 1319] by mistake with ogre 1.6.4, the game was almost ok, there was no textures, no buildings but game was running :cheeky:

i didn't saw any place where i could press c, g, so i skipped this. This is my valgrind log: (http://sites.google.com/site/warlock24/storage/valgrind.log?attredirects=0&d=1) valgrind.log



Nothing changed :/
(http://sites.google.com/site/warlock24/storage/valgrind2..log?attredirects=0&d=1) valgrind2.log



In my opde.log i see line
LOG [DEBUG] : OGRE_LOG: This program uses FreeImage...

:cool:

Well, I can't speak for Volca but some progress is being made. He won't be around for a couple weeks so he might answer when he gets back. We've been working on the PHYS_SYSTEM tag and we have almost all of its structures figured out. I've also been working on CRET_SYSTEM and have had some success but it is a little tougher than PHYS... I think he wants to get a simple physics system implemented soon but since he is the only coder at the moment things can only go at the pace of his free time that he devotes to the project. :)

Lol. Ok. Dark engine games use files called tag files to store data. The .mis files are an example. Inside these files are "tags" like PHYS_SYSTEM which holds physics data about objects/AI. Thankfully many of these tags have already been figured out by Telliamed and others. First we have to figure out how all the tag data is stored on disk and in memory. Once we know how to read/write the tag data we (or better Volca) can create code that mimics what the dark engine does with that data. Lately we have been trying to figure out all the physics data that is stored on disk and how it is used/stored in memory. As I said before we have most of it pretty well figured out but there are still some unknowns. For example, the location of an object in the world is stored and updated in 3 places in the physics system tag and we aren't quite sure why...

Thankfully though, Dromed has some helpful code to help us out with figuring out how things are done. Commands like RopeSpew and MantleSpew for instance output data to the monolog about rope climbing and mantling which should help us with implementing those functions. So long story short, we have to figure out what all the data is and how it is used before we can recreate it.

I hope that clears things up a little. :)

Is it known who actually worked on creating the original Dark Engine, and, if so, can they be pumped for information about the inner workings without getting into any sort of legal issues?
