WWJ SDK Alpha 5 - 0.5.0 available

[mchristyuk]

Hi Dave,

Yes I knew about the precision issue.. that was another reason I used the offsets push/pop to get round that.

However when I used the standard OpenGL translated() and push() pop() routines I used to suffer from some "shimmer" on the data which didn't occur using the WW pushReferenceCenter/popReferenceCenter() routines.

Now I can get rid of the shimmer using the standard OpenGL routines.. it's just a little annoying that the WW routines worked perfectly (in fact they were recommended to me by the development team) in all the previous versions and in theory should work fine now..

I'll have a little play in the morning and if I don't find a solution I'll post the code to show what I'm doing..

Cheers

Mark

I don't think the problem is with push/popReferenceCenter. As you pointed out very little has changed in the implementation of push/popReferenceCenter. Also, we use it throughout the API without any issues.

The problem you describe - objects following the view - really sounds like incorrect usage. But, maybe something else is broken, or was fixed, and that has changed your application's behavior. I can't really know if all we talk about is a push-render-pop block. That's why I keep pressing to see the context the code is in.

If you discover a problem, find a solution, or have code to share, please create a new thread under "Development Help".

Thanks,
Dave

Hi All,

Thanks very much for the new release!! I have a simple question for now. Do I point my jnlp file to the new version? Instead of 0.4.1 should it be 0.5.0? Also the same question regarding the jogl jnlp. I will download the SDK ASAP and look over the examples. My Boy Scouts will really like (sweet is the word for thier generation) the terrain mapping!

I look forward to making this release available to the kids! (parents really like the functionality also)

I'm not sure which jnlps you refer to...
Have a look at the WWJ demo page for all the jnlp links for 0.5.

Hi Pat,

I notice the demos have changed today and the jnlp (launcher files for web start) have changed quite a bit in regards to packaging WorldWind. What I mean is before apps using WorldWind were using the jnlp extension because the worldwind jar is signed. Now they are not that way so hopefully the worldwind jar in the SDK is not signed otherwise you have to include and jnlp extension to use it for distribution.

Be interesting to know if the worldwind jar that is downloaded with the apps is the 0.5.0 version. I plan to tonight or sometime this weekend to update from 0.4.1 to 0.5.0 so having the latest signed jogl jar is critical from the forum messages I found here.

The jogl jar is signed and thus a jnlp extension for that and hopefully it is the latest version that worldwind requires.

Thanks,
-Tony

Hi All,

I updated MyUniPortal to use 0.5.0 now and it seems to work fine. I did notice in trying to get to an altitude of zero that I needed to change the elevation. I have not tried to go underwater yet.

I noticed the altitude displayed in the status bar seemed double of what I requested. So if I commanded say 20,000 the altitude displayed 40,000. I will see what might be causing that.

I will be updating the screenshots on my site in the next day or so with updated interface.

Thanks,

Hello

Using 0.5 version to connect to my WMS servers, I initially got back an error saying WMTVER/VERSION is missing from request.

--> I suggect to add a version number in the CapabilitiesRequest initialise method:

protected void initialize()
{
super.initialize();
this.setParam("REQUEST", "GetCapabilities");
this.setVersion("1.1.1");
}


Regards

AFAIR Version isn't required in GetCapabilities request (it is in GetMap), so the server shouldn't throw any error because of that...

Okay call me crazy but if the wwj team has updates to 0.5.0 (but not released yet) please let me know since I am willing to try them out.

Thanks,
-Tony

Dear Tony,

it's not that well hidden, I'd say you should try at

Hope you will find it. ; )
