@Latch-

I don't know, requiring user input isn't really my style. Is there a way to not have these problems, perhaps through either the use of joystick x,y,z or the input device commands? If not, I can just disable the joystick input. A lot of people just remap their joysticks to keyboard keys anyways, right?

EDIT: I just found out that collisions are better with vertical sphere collision disabled. What was happening before was the player was sticking to things while jumping.

<EDIT> Sorry, wrong thread

For any interested, while learning to use ColDet, I thought that it would be nice to have some documentation in a more convenient location than the code itself. If you don't mind, then that's fine, I just wanted it in a more centralized location.

So I went through and created a series of help HTM files that mimic the help files that came with DBC (I literally just copied them and changed the content). If anyone would like them, here they are. I also updated the menu.htm file, which is the first page of the help, to include a link to the new coldet help page.

You should be able to unzip this and place the files right into DarkBASIC'S help file. I didn't bother plugging in any examples. If anyone else would like to, that would be great. Otherwise it just has a link to whatever the example was for the file that I copied the first time.

I started editing the DBC help files a while back to get some practice at HTML. I'm mainly just editing the layout and making it look better, introducing style sheets etc. but some of the descriptions are poor so I'm changing those where I am confident enough to. It's so badly formatted when you look at the HTML, obviously done in Word or something. I'll integrate your ColDet help when I get around to it.

I'm posting an update to the collision library. I've added an additional sliding collision function:



This function seems to work a little more consistently than the old sliding collision function. It takes more of a "brute force" approach by running several sphere and ray casting tests and eliminating as many unnecessary tests as possible. Ultimately, a cylindrical area is created using 3 key y positions. The idea was inspired by some sliding collision code provided by Fluffy Rabbit in a current DarkNoobs project. The old test was based more on face normals and mathematics.

I haven't compared the speed performance between the 2 sliding collision tests. You can run tests between the 2 and see which one you like better. The old one works, but it occasionally behaved a little unpredictably.

I haven't put together any examples for this new sliding collision function. The documentation for it is inside the include file. If you want to see the function in action, you can follow along with the latest DarkNoobs project where ColDet is being used as the main collision library.
