The program won't start with the error message:
"Can't find the main class"
whats wrong?
|
|
Assumably your using the wrong java version. SigmaAT needs javaVM
1.5.0 to be installed and in the path. |
I'm using Linux and the Start.sh won't work. |
|
Try pasting the command from the file into your shell. |
The dependent library
cg*.dll /cg*.so
is not found, what can I do?
|
|
The CG runtime comes with SigmaAT. So copy all libraries begnning
with cg into youre path. |
I get a "OutOfMemoryException": java heap
space. What can I do?
|
|
Try running SigmaAT whith the java runtime argument
java -Xss1024k -XX:+AggressiveHeap
this forces a stack size of 1024k and faster memory allocation.
|
My framerate is low even in idle.
|
|
Try disabling the vertical sync of your graphics adapter. With
nVidia it on per default.
|
My skins won't change
|
|
In the download release only a few skins are included and under
Linux the Windows themes don't work anyway.
|
The CgFX Shaders don't load.
|
|
If you own a ATI card, wait for them to write suitable opengl
drivers otherwise update your driver.
|
How can I set the active camera?
|
|
Use the "Loaded" handler and put
getRoot().setActiveCamera(<camera_name>);
where camera_name is e.g. sender.Camera01
|
How can I load a new scene resource?
|
|
getRoot().load(<scene_file>);
|
How can I get a scene resource as a variable?
|
|
local object scene = getRoot().preLoad(<scene_file>);
|
How can I play a sound resource?
|
|
Get a sound object and call <sound>.play();
local object sound = getRoot().getSound(<sound_file>);
sound.play();
sound.pause();
sound.stop();
|
How do I output some variable?
|
|
Use outln(<variable>);
Like in java you can add strings to variables causing them to be
converted to a string representation. E.g.
outln("Player1 Points: " + points_player1);
|
What is the difference between the script handler
and the main entity script?
|
|
There is no difference in function only in using them. The main
entity script lets yout edit all handlers in one place. The script
handlers are each in there own file.
|
Is there a c++ version of SigmaAT
|
|
No there isn't.
|
Is't SigmaAT slow because it's completely written
in java?
|
|
No, the renderer per default uses the opengl4java binding for
rendering so it's as fast as yout hardware is.
|
Is SigmaAT extendable?
|
|
Yes it is. There is a plugin API for modifying the rendering
pipeline and the scripting language.
|
Which modeling tool supports SigmaAT |
|
There is an export plugin for 3dsMax 5.x.
|
What is this two types of scene files about?
|
|
The *.sig files are generated when exporting from 3dsMax. SigmaAT
internally works with *.src files which are compressed and contain
sattelite infomation like scripts and events.
