DI-Guy Version 12.5

DI-Guy API

Note that most changes to the DI-Guy API also apply to DI-Guy Scenario.

Version 12.5.1

• Fixed bug where customer sourced dds files failed to load because we assumed they were lz4'ed.
• Fixed bug where files with capitalized extensions eg "FLT" failed to load.
• Fixed bug where invalid xrefs caused parent bounding boxes to fail to register as possibly valid.
• Fixed hard crash when drawing empty octtree.
• Fixed matrix state glitch when drawing octtree and scene object bounds
• Fixed path planning bug in funnel code when far above the z origin.
• Fixed bug where browsing for a new scene object file name didn't force octtree recreation.
• Fixed logic bug in check visibility code.
• Fixed bug where changing appearances could cause single frame muzzle flashes and loss of character skinning matrices.
• Fixed bug where flt files were unable to have their material edited by the character viewer
• Fixed bug where changing character type caused all action beads to collapse on a path.
• Added additional guide example showing differences between similar and dissimilar character types.
• Fixed bug in built-in OpenGL renderer where fixed function mode didn't properly bind textures. Fixes textureless segmented characters rendering in Motion Editor.
• Fixed joystick not properly loading in I-Guy mode.
• Fixed ray testing against scaled scene objects.
• Fixed off by one error in link combo in character viewer.
• Fixed bug in Lua debugger. "Step over" and "Step out" buttons were not working correctly
• General improvements to code that tests get_enabled() and get_dead() on a character, the code will now also test the character's t_out compared to current time
• Added diguyAgentParams:set_influence_box_enabled() (and get)
• Fixed bug with ground clamping on large scenarios.
• Fixed performance issue with receiving props over the network.
• Improved shadow pass rendering performance.
• Shader cleanup.
• Changed Graphics API shader samples to default point light #define to off.
• Fixed crash when executing gesture that wasn't made for a character.
• Fixed crash when loading degenerate flt file xrefs.
• Improved memory use when decompressing many dds files.
• diguyCharacter::set_orientation() now checks if the character has a vehicle controller and if so, it now allows the caller to hard-set the vehicle's orientation. Previously, only the vehicle controller determined this.
• diguyCharacter::find_path() now checks if the character_type contains the substring 'vehicle' and if so, the path produced will be wide enough to allow the character to pass, based upon character's bounding-box's width.
• Added a number of try/catch blocks to deal with running out of memory while loading extremely large scenarios.
• Added code/UI to allow DI-Guy Scenario to unload textures when not used for a long time. Off by default.

• Added a number of experimental diguyApp memory management functions:

  • diguyApp::set_threshold_to_unload_textures()
  • diguyApp::get_threshold_to_unload_textures()
  • diguyApp::set_texture_unload_frequency()
  • diguyApp::get_texture_unload_frequency()
  • diguyApp::get_unload_unused_after_scenario_load()
  • diguyApp::set_unload_unused_after_scenario_load()

Version 12.5.0

CRITICAL api changes

• C++ callback:
  float AltitudeFunction( diguyScenario* scenario, float x, float y, float old_z);
  has been replaced with
  float AltitudeFunction( diguyScenario* scenario, float x, float y, float old_z, int * valid);
  code will need to be updated before recompiling.

• Graphics API

  • bdiGraphicsInitGraphicsAPI.use_4x3_shader_matrices must be set to 0 if you aren't planning on upgrading shaders to use 4x3 matrices.
  • As a performance optimization we are no longer transposing our internal matrix representation in C++ before sending to OpenGL. 4x4 matrix bind should get updated to

    glUniformMatrix4fv(m_bind_location_ufrm_link_matrices,   // uniform var location
      num_mats,    // number of matrices
      !get_transposed_matrix_data(),    // whether to transpose matrix
      mat_data);   // pointer to matrix data

    where bdiGraphicsInitGraphicsAPI.transpose_shader_matrices has been properly set see diguyOglGraphicsShaderProgram.cpp for example.

New Features

• New adaptive guide allowing characters to fix dead reckoning errors with appropriate step and strafe motions. Now the default in the networking system as well as featured in the guide example.
• New texture variation system allowing for infinite variations on next-gen characters. See diguyCharacter::set_use_texture_variations().

• Motion engine should now be fully multi-threaded, thread control api is part of diguyApp.
• New C++ documentation system, utilizing doxygen.
• Fixed matrix update issues with motion lod system and skinned characters, motion lod system can be used again with them, same issues had been happening with segmented characters as well. We recommend using multi-threaded pipeline instead of motion lods at this point.
• New ground clamp option 'g' - approximation based on ground clamping vehicle bounds
• Scene objects can now be collada DAEs.
• Added support for bump maps on scene objects.
• New multi-threaded asynchronous texture loader, controllable via scenario UI and diguyCharacter::set_texture_load_behavior() and diguySceneObject::set_texture_load_behavior()

DI-Guy API 10

Note that most changes to the DI-Guy API also apply to DI-Guy Scenario.

Version 10.0.10

• Impact processing on characters now considers mind wakeup callbacks when deciding how the impact affects the character, in addition to the straight callbacks that are considered now.

• Added functions:

  • diguyAgentParams::set_vehicle_base_influence_box()
  • diguyAgentParams::get_vehicle_base_influence_box()

• Added the following diguyCharacter callbacks that report when an agent is being push around by other characters of vehicles.

  • diguyCharacter::CALLBACK_ID_AGENT_NON_ZERO_REPULSION
  • diguyCharacter::CALLBACK_ID_AGENT_ZERO_REPULSION

Version 10.0.8

• Added merging of regions during scenario merge.

• Added diguyScenario::CALLBACK_ID_PLAYBACK_MODE_CHANGED.
• Added diguy_set_diguy_base_dir_path() function.
• Added remove_on_scenario_load argument to most add_default_*_callback() functions; allows for "permanent" callbacks to be added that persist through scenario loads. The default is 0, meaning remove the callback when a scenario is loaded.

Version 10.0.6

• Fixed visual issues of skinned appearances when the character is scaled or is using a motion LOD greater than 1.
• Fixed issue where default scenario callbacks were not being called.

• Added functions:

  • diguyCharacter::set_graphics_api_node_ptr()
  • diguyCharacter::get_graphics_api_node_ptr()
  • diguyScenario::set_graphics_api_node_ptr()
  • diguyScenario::get_graphics_api_node_ptr()

Version 10.0.5

• Fixed hard crashes with on-screen labels outside of the ogl pipeline.
• Fixed issues with octtree creation and visibility checks.
• Fix for vc8 mdd examples using lua.
• Added missing header file for DI-Guy Bench Marking example.

• Added infrastructure for hooking up callbacks so visibility tests can work in the SDK. See the following functions:

  • diguyScenario::set_default_point_los_function()
  • diguyScenario::set_default_character_los_function()
  • diguyCharacter::set_point_los_function()
  • diguyCharacter::get_point_los_function()
  • diguyCharacter::set_character_los_function()
  • diguyCharacter::get_character_los_function()

Version 10.0.4

• Fixed bug where green boxes were appearing at the origin in some DI-Guy Graphics API examples.
• Characters with skinned appearances specified will switch to their default unskinned appearance on platforms without skinning support.
• Added diguyScenario::get_altitude_function() and diguyScenario::set_altitude_function() mainly needed for force local path via the API.
• Added bdiGraphicsInitGraphicsAPI::characters_have_world_space_triangle_query and bdiGraphicsInitGraphicsAPI::scene_objects_have_world_space_triangle_query function allow octtree to be built from internally loaded scene objects. Note: this functionality requires that diguyGraphicsMesh::free_loader_memory() not be called.

Version 10.0.3

• Changed diguyScenario::set_default_lod_ranges() to accept "all" for the character type. Passing "all" will set the default LOD ranges for all character types, not just one specific one.

• Added the following functions to DI-Guy Graphics API for more flexibility in handling graphics LODs.

  • diguyGraphicsShape::set_graphics_lod_ranges()
  • diguyGraphicsShape::set_graphics_lod()
  • diguyGraphicsShape::get_graphics_lod()

Version 10.0.1

• Fixed bugs with intersecting characters added to the octtree.

• Added functions diguyCharacter::create_complete_pose_override() and diguyCharacter::destroy_complete_pose_override().
• Fixed bug where OGL skinned characters were missing some polygons; please see graphics API samples if you are seeing this bug. Your VBO class may need slight changes.

Version 10.0.0

• Added support for character "type maps". Type maps add extra data to characters that make it easier to decide which character type and appearance best match the desired role for characters to be added to the scenario. See the class diguyCharacterTypeMap, and information about the "Appearance Wizard" for DI-Guy Scenario.

• Added the following functions to diguyCharacter API:

  • diguyCharacter::get_nearest_character_type_map()

• The DI-Guy Graphics API example directories osg_12_examples and osg_22_examples have been removed. They have been replaced with osg_2_examples.
• The osg_2_examples reference implementation now has support for skinned appearances. It uses the DI-Guy built-in geometry loader instead of OSG's, as DI-Guy has some specific requirements for loaded skinned geometry.
• diguyScenario::add_callback() and diguyScenario::add_callback_script() have been modified with an addition argument that specifies whether the callback should remain after a new scenario has been loaded. The previous behavior was for the callback to not be removed, which could cause problems. Users will now need to explicitly request that the callback remain.

Version 9.1.5

• The ability to show bar graph information has been added to the diguyViewLabel class. See diguyViewLabel::enable_bar_graph().

• Added the following functions to diguyCharacter API:

  • diguyCharacter::set_weapon_munition_type_override()
  • diguyCharacter::get_weapon_munition_type_override()

• Added new DI-Guy functions to allow SDK users to intercept fire requests and plug in their own intersection test; see diguyScenario::set_fire_weapon_intersection_function() for more info.

Version 9.1.4

• Added the following functions to diguyCharacter API:

  • diguyCharacter::set_initial_path()
  • diguyCharacter::get_initial_path()

• The way that weapon sounds are handled has been changed.

    Previously weapon sounds were largely determined by the
    character's default weapon sound setting, as set by
    set_default_weapon_sound().  Weapon sounds (and other data) are
    now set automatically based on the munition type(s) of the weapon
    the character is carrying.  The default munition type sound can
    be overridden by calling set_weapon_sound_override().  Note that
    existing, deprecated calls to set_default_weapon_sound() will
    have the same effect as calling set_weapon_sound_override().
  

  • The following functions have been deprecated:

    • diguyCharacter::set_default_weapon_sound()
    • diguyCharacter::get_default_weapon_sound()
    • diguyCharacter::set_default_weapon_sound_gain()
    • diguyCharacter::get_default_weapon_sound_gain()

  • The above deprecated functions are replaced by:

    • diguyCharacter::set_weapon_sound_override()
    • diguyCharacter::get_weapon_sound_override()
    • diguyCharacter::set_weapon_sound_gain_override()
    • diguyCharacter::get_weapon_sound_gain_override()

• Added the following diguyCharacter callbacks to make it easier to tie events to editing characters in the UI.

  • diguyCharacter::CALLBACK_ID_UI_MOUSE_DOWN
  • diguyCharacter::CALLBACK_ID_UI_MOUSE_UP

• Added diguyViewPainter class that allows the drawing of lines and other primitives in DI-Guy Scenario 3D view windows. For access to this object call diguyApp::get_painter().
• Added diguyScenario::CALLBACK_ID_POST_DRAW, allowing the scripting engine a chance to draw in the 3D view in DI-Guy Scenario. Characters with minds are also given the opportunity to draw; see the default luaCharacter script.

Version 9.1.2

• Added diguyImpact::get_impact_type() and diguyImpact::get_impact_type_string() which provide information about how the impact was generated. New accessors for querying normal information are also available.

• Added new Lua Scripting module:

  • The Lua module has all the functionality of the current Perl module.
  • Lua is popular in the game development industry for it's speed and efficiency. Lua script execution is much less performance intensive than a similar Perl script.
  • Lua is the basis for the new DI-Guy AI Mind framework.

• Scripts are no longer limited in length (was 32K).

• Deprecated functions:

  • diguyCharacter::get_base_link() replaced with diguyCharacter::get_position_link()

• Added the following diguyCharacter callbacks to make it easier to tie events to editing characters in the UI.

  • diguyCharacter::CALLBACK_ID_UI_PRE_TRANSLATION

  • diguyCharacter::set_svar()
  • diguyCharacter::get_svar()

• Sound Module Improvements:

  • Adding looping flag to diguyCharacter::play_3d_sound() and diguyCharacter::play_sound() allows sounds to repeat until explicitly stopped with diguyCharacter::stop_sound() or diguyCharacter::stop_all_sounds()
  • 3D Sounds should now Doppler shift depending on the velocity of the emitter and listener.
  • More a number of diguySound functions have been added to allow querying a sounds properties.

• Fixed problem with the OpenFlight geometry loader. Light point records were causing the loader to fail.

• Added two new diguyCharacter callback ids:

  • diguyCharacter::CALLBACK_ID_POST_CREATE_GEOMETRY
  • diguyCharacter::CALLBACK_ID_PRE_DESTROY_GEOMETRY

• Added new plugin function, post_reset(). Allows plugins to do reset operations at the end of a scenario reset, instead of only at the beginning.

Version 9.1.0

• Added the following functions to diguyCharacter API:

  • diguyCharacter::get_current_traveled_path_is()
  • diguyCharacter::get_current_appearance_is()
  • diguyCharacter::get_current_head_appearance_is()

Version 10.0.2

• Fixed the appearance of state functions in the code browser.

Version 10.0.0

• Added the "Appearance Wizard" to places where character type and appearance can be selected. The Appearance Wizard provides an interactive UI for selecting desired attributes of the character to be created, such as category, age, sex, race, military branch, carried object, etc.
• Character types and appearances are now marked as "Recommended" and "Not Recommended". Many older character types and appearances have been nominally replaced with newer versions which should be preferred over the older ones. By default DI-Guy Scenario will show only the preferred ones, but can be changed to show all of them. Scenarios that currently use now not-recommended character types and appearances will still work as before.

Version 9.1.3

• Improvements to autocomplete, including DIGUY_* constants as well as dynamic analysis of lua objects.

Version 9.1.2

• Added new documentation viewer, accessible under the help menu.

Version 9.1.1

• Replaced Scenario Elements, Character Elements, View Settings, Event Handlers, and DI-Guy AI Elements windows with a single revamped Scenario Elements window that has collapsible tab groups.
• Removed experimental, incomplete "Merge Blitz" capability.

Version 9.1.0

• Script editing now uses an editing component based on Scintilla, this provides syntax highlighting/coloring, line numbering, basic auto-complete, and code folding. Currently supported control keys:

  • Ctrl '{' or Ctrl '}' - jump to matching brace
  • Ctrl f - find dialog
  • F3 - find again

• Added a number of ui improvements:

  • Beads now display the time they occur instead of just an index.
  • The Action Spreadsheet is available in the character elements page.
  • A number of element types can now be sorted in their selector view at the top of the page. Most widgets can be sorted by index and name. Some add the ability to be sorted by time, appearance, character type, etc.
  • The path page has a sorted list of all beads on a path.

• Added diguyRegion, an API wrapper for painted meshes. Retrievable with the function diguyScenario::find_region().
• Vehicle bounds are now smoothed when the vehicle changes speed.
• Added simple gazing model into agent focus behavior.
• Added Idle Behavior, agent will stop moving and be responsive to focus and simple requests but won't spontaneously move.
• Added diguyCharacter::agent_begin_behavior() allows starting a behavior by name. Typically some of the more elaborate functions are preferred, but this can be useful for idling and such.
• Changes to None behavior. Agent will attempt to do less and clear out some transient state to make the behavior of the behavior more consistent.

Version 9.1.1
