Hello guys,
is it possible to use this feature of newton in Lite-C??

Hy I have the same questins like you!
I will try to find it in the newton forum.
When I know it I will tell it to you.

Yep, its possible, but now i'm working on wrapping Character and Cars controllers.
Any help would be great.

ahh, sounds good Vet, maybe sign in to ICQ? i'd like to talk on a few systems of newton, sadly i cant really help with the technicalities too much

So that meens that (when we use newton) we must wright everithing in a totaly other way.

ya.. which is what scared me away in the first place not that i couldnt learn, but its kinda hard to be learning multiple systems, you'll really never get your game done if you take time to learn all the available systems

Yep, but you must know, which system is good for what
For example, i learn physic systems (Newton, Bullet, PhysX), worked a lot with different AI systems (Perfect, A-star), but i NEVER would start to learn shaders

But maby we don`t musst to lern everithing.
We could make somthing like vocabularies, I meen it like this;
Lets take vocabularies from german in english:

german
Auto
in englisch
car

And know from lite-c to newton;

lite-c:

action ball()
{
phent_settype(my,PH_RIGID,PH_SPHERE);
phent_setfriction(my,90);
phent_setmass(my,5,PH_SPHERE);
phent_setelasticity(my,75,100);
phent_setdamping(my,30,5);
ph_setgravity(vector(0,0,-500));
}

to newton:

float QUANTTOMETER = 0.03125;
float METERTOQUANT = 32;

#include "NewtonMain2.18.c"
#include "NewtonAPI2.18.c"

NewtonWorld* nworld;

#include "matrix.c"
#include "newton_materials.c"
#include "newton_main.c"
#include "newton_debug.c"

void quit()
{
newton_stop();
}
void newton_start()
{
wait(2);
newton_start();
on_exit = quit;
while(1)
{
newton_update();
wait(1);
}
}

action ball_newt()
{
wait(3);
newton_addentity(me, 5, NEWTON_SPHERE, onforceandtorque);
}

That would be a idea.

Integrating Newton is not too difficult.
The ugly part is getting the matrices right and converting the mesh data (imho), but ventilator and vet have already done this for us

I've extended the mesh converter so it only reads certain mesh subsets. This allows me to use simpler geometry for collision and complex geometry for display - without the need to have to use two models and reference each other.

void newton_start()
{
wait(2);
newton_start();
...

now that's an endless loop
