Erk. Now that I have the limb problem worked out, my brain is being fried by ragdoll bones, matrices, and local coordinates. Plus I'm going to need more buttons again.

For each individual ragdoll bone in a body, I'll need to know:
-The limb number of the visual object that the bone is modifying.
-The parent bone, if any.
-The local offset and rotation matrix, relative to a bone's parent.
-The mass of each bone.

Bones in Newton are created along their local x-axis, and not all of the bones in my model are. Some are, but I can't rotate the others locally without messing up the mesh. So, I might as well position a body referring to a bone in global space, then provide controls for swapping local axes for those odd bones that aren't lined up correctly. This means an additional set of temporary variables for adjusting the current bone's local orientation, and a separate subroutine for positioning the child bones because they're bound to be offset incorrectly.


Good thing I still have.....a week and a half? To get this done, along with a handful of other functions. I'll probably put off light zones and everything beyond object loading and a physics test mode till after NaGaCreMo, so I can get a working demo done in time.

I've gotten very busy in the real world and haven't had time to work on my project since like the 4th. And since I lost all of the media for my level editor in the hard drive reformat...well, I haven't created any new media except for two textures. :-\

Yeah, sure.

But as I continue reading Death Note, I cannot help but get my mind blown every few minutes. Of course I pick up the globs and glue them back together to form my brain again, but I'm starting to think it's just so I can get it blown again by Death Note instead of just being able to function again. That's one addictive and clever manga.

I just properly set up, and played Counter-Strike 1.6.
My life has a howl new meaning.

Source, is dead, as of 2008, ever since the Championship Gaming Series fell to it's demise, as blind I was to see this I still continued playing Source, but as I grew more into CSPromod I realized that I was brainwashed by source's graphics and map design, thinking that it was the perfect version, with all it's bugs and glitchy-ness. As I said, I invested time in the CSPromod community(1.6 built on to the source engine, to be made as close as 1.6/1.5, this mod is a attempt to merge both communities toghether to make up of what VALVE failed at). And damn, 1.6 is amazing, especially when I'm in charge of the AWP.

I AM GODLIKE VS ALL OF YOUS =D

Now time for me to get my SteelSeries Siberia headset and SteelSeries Kinzu(It'll still never replace my intelimouse 1.1) and find a ESEA team, so now that I can pug.

Completed Borderlands, with only 6 achievements left to get, which is good.

Ending's a little disappointing though. But a fun game. It's meant to set you up for a sequel I guess.

Cleaning my code to keep from going insane. The physics screen is now over 1000 lines, with three separate sets of sprites(normal, ragdoll, and compound pages) and functions for those sprites all tangled up. I've sorted out the sprite drawing parts and most of the collision checks now, much better methinks.

herrrrrrhggg. Another duhhhr moment, as I realize I big group of buttons I had planned are unnecessary. I'm still trying to hack it out in my head with little success, so I'm going to type it out here cuz it helps me think an wot. Feel free to not read this part.

Vars.
CompObj array - list of collision object(bone) indices
CompObj(n, 1) - limb number associated with bone
CompObj(n, 2) - index of parent bone
LimbName$ array - list of limb names
CurrentComp - bone number for currently selected limb in the list, -1 if the current limb has no bone
CurrentLimb - current limb number
CMode - 0 for normal, 1 if "add child" has been clicked(add child becomes "confirm"). User chooses which limb will be matched with the bone to be the child of the current bone. Change CurrentLimb, but don't update CurrentComp - glue PrevObj2

Buttons.
Add bone - selected limb has no bone, create default box bone at origin with no parent, associate with selected limb.
Add child - CMode becomes 1, select child limb from the list. If the child limb picked already has a bone, set that bone's parent to the selected, select it, and update. If the child limb has no bone, create one with selected bone as its parent, select child bone.
Add bone/child - Always add to Ragdoll object CompObj(0), if it exists then destroy it and add updated.
Rotate/Offset - will refer to local coordinates rather than global when in ragdoll mode. Create new cursor object with arrows signifying local axes.
Delete object - Check all bones to see if selected bone is a parent, if so then set these bones' parents to 0. Remove object and resort CompObj list - (n,1) and (n,2) as well.
Constraints - Show new cursor object for local axes if local constraints have been selected. Min/Max angle - Long boxes, rotated to the desired angle(+local angle if needed) and moved away from origin at that angle to show limits. Twist - ?. On return key(toggle2), update bone with new constraint values.

ok. All better now.

Hey, I hated it and that's the honest truth. If you can't take my opinion, maybe you shouldn't have posted it.

Also, it's my natural reaction to go against anything you tell me to do without telling me why first.

Obviously you didn't detect my humorous overtones.

I don't mind if somebody ends up hating it. A person can't help how they feel over something. I loved the video, but you hated it and that's just our different opinions. No hard feelings are necessary.

And understandably so. I shall explain; this dude has created tons of hilarious videos (have you ever seen Balloon Shop on YouTube?) and is a hilarious person. If he won, he could have made it big in the world of film and that would have been fantastic. Unfortunately he didn't win, but it's still yet to be determined on if he got a consolation prize or something.

Indeed, it's rather difficult to read sarcasm and humor through the web. They somehow need to develop symbols that indicated joking, sarcasm and pure hatred inside of a forum post. Emoticons don't quite cut it.
