Looking for help learning ODE in DP

[Error]

I've been trying to find examples on how to use ODE physics extension in Darkplaces and can't find any. Are there any resources or tutorials available anywhere?

1)on Windows rename libode-3,dll to libode1.dll or it won't work.
2)After launch dp, check if ode physics is enabled (physics ode 1)
3)you can have a introduction reading here
4)switch to fte and start using REAL ode capabilities!

basically, on SSQC (dp doesn't have CSQC physics, fte does) you can do something like

Code: Select all

void myphysent()
{
local entity e = spawn;
setmodel(e,"models/barrel.iqm");
setsize(e,'-32 -32 -64','32 32 64');
physics_enable (e,TRUE);
e.movetype = MOVETYPE_PHYSICS;
e.solid = SOLID_PHYSICS_BOX;
e.mass = 1.2;//1 should be the standard
}


place your myphysent in your map about 60 units from above and it *SHOULD*, if I didn't commit any typo, fall on the ground.

In these days I should (hopefully) upload v0.2 version of fteskel which has working ODE ragdolls (yay )

##EDIT: ODE user guide

Does model or map format matter with ODE?

Thank you. It works. The renaming of the file is why it wouldn't work.

Trying to figure out joints and hinges and such now.
