I'd like to see if the vehicle physics were improved...

if so, then I might need to switch to lite-c very quickly

version 2 is out!
download it here

New features:
more stable collision (no boxes flying through walls)
objects pickup (like in HL2)
latest newton dll (1.53)

more to come...

Nice work!

I have implemented Newton materials, I'll PM you with it an perhaps you can improve it and add it to this.

Oh, and thanks

thank you too!

Very Nice Contribution .
I would like to know, how you sorted out the bug, because when I copied the newton.dll to your hinges example, it is there. It should be more than the dll thing .

that was easy, i just turned on the continious collision for crates

question.....

NewtonUpdate(time);

...Am I correct to assume that you'd want to pass the amount of time that has passed to Newton? So it knows how to correctly update movement?

Assuming I am correct, then would time_step/frame be incorrec? time_step/frame are multipliers for scaling movement in ticks (1/16th second).

So when you use:
newtonUpdate(time_frame/16);
You wouldn't be updating correctly...

It would in fact be:
newtonUpdate(16/time_frame);


I fixed this in the A6 version and physics seem more realistic, but maybe it's just me and I'm completely wrong

Well I'm not sure what is correct, but i'll see what's the difference

newton needs the time in seconds so you have to convert ticks to seconds. this gets done by diving by 16. for example 4 ticks -> 4 / 16 = 0.25 seconds.

i think the most common cause for simulations which somehow seem to look unrealistic is wrong scale. you have to keep in mind that we aren't used to look at collapsing stacks of crates which are more than a meter in diameter. we are used to toy bricks. this doesn't look the same.

DELETED

Damnit... you were right. For some reason I was thinking time_step was "inversed" (can't think of the right word)... 1/time_passed ... whatever

Anyways... sorry for my ignorance. I'll shutup now
