WW2D Plus One

[patmurris]

I've been working on a 3D view for Vitaliy Pronkin WW2D. Still in alpha but coming together...

You can download an alpha version here. It has to be applied over a working installation of WW2D.



Please read the 'readme.txt' for keyboard controls and known issues and let me know how it performs on what platform... if it works [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

Thank you mazop.
I posted alpha version 3 - better and more stable; still no SRTM data yet.
I&#39;d love to see some mac and linux screen shots...

Does WW2D works by its own ?
The update should be deployed over a working installation...

Damn &#33; I&#39;ve no idea.
Do you have a recent WW2D version ?
The 3D update is based on 0.99.87 that dates from 11-25-2005. There has been a couple updates since but it works with them too. What OS are you using ?

[what_nick]

I think it&#39;s an error with the Java Version did u use 1.5?

I use jre/jdk 1.5.0_06.
You use build 1.5.0_06-b05 - not sure if the -b05 is to blame ?

Ok I have been debugging the ww2d cvs code. We have tracked down the error to the jar files for the plugins not being correctly loacted and loaded. Hence it tries to call the getName() method on an abstract class rather than a concrete class. Since we will be using Java I bit I recommend using eclipse and setting it all up for debugging etc.

[what_nick]

Successfully debugged it. I rebuilt the cvs version properly and now I have a working ww2d plusone install on Gentoo. Thanks a lot Pat. I wont mind starting work on the terrain accessor with everyone&#39;s blessings and going nuts with JTS to add a lot of much needed GIS functionality.Please check the screen shots on my blog.Screenshots
Cheers,

Excelent news... what was wrong then ?

About the terrain accessor... well Vitaliy offered to work on it but i havent heard from him for some weeks - i think he is busy with exams. You can still get used to the code - the terrain accessor should be similar to the QuadTileLayer and QuadTile logic without rendering. If you are interested i can send you the source for the actual WW2D+1 alpha.

NB: could you post some screen shots of some perspective views - like Andes or Himalaya... with the desktop background [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

NB2: where are all the mac and linux people who have been asking for it ? Playing with GE maybe [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img]

New screenshot is here.
This time on SUSE. Will love the source. I am also working on a Webstart.Lemme know how I can get the Source. Here is my webstart JOGL, low function wind.

EDIT: Screenshot smallened.Please lemme know if I can lend u a hand with terrain accessor.I have worked with the LZMA java api.It&#39;s here http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html

work fine on tiger. but it&#39;s a little bit slow i think.
maybe 3D acceleration is not set ? How can i know what ?
