"Opcodes.h:
* Added INVALID_OP as -1 in the Opcodes enum. Note that INVALID_OP is not an actual opcode defined in the OpenFlight format. The purpose of INVALID_OP is to mark an opcode variable as invalid or uninitialized.
ReaderWriterFLT.cpp:
* The header node is returned if it exists, even if the file does not contain a node hierarchy. The old behaviour returned a ERROR_IN_READING_FILE error.
* Changed opcodes initialized to -1 to the new enum value INVALID_OP."
In the OSG OpenFlight plugin these names are ignored when reading, and
empty strings are written.
As we need these names in the OSG scene graph by our application, I
changed the plugin code, so the names are now stored in class
"osg::Material" (derived from "osg::Object") by
material->setName();
(see "PaletteRecords.cpp, line 195) when reading the file, and written
to file by
dos.writeString( m.Material->getName(), 12 );
(see MaterialPaletteManager.cpp, line 80).
As these names otherwise get lost when reading an OpenFlight file and
writing it again e.g. by
osgconv example.flt converted_example.flt
these changes make the plugin more complete.
The changes were made to OSG revision 8425, and were tested by
osgconv example.flt converted_example.flt
comparing the material palettes of both files inside Multigen Creator."
It might seem odd that the change actually removes the stub apply(Billboard&) method, but it turns out Billboards are easily supported in subordinate routines of the existing apply(Geode&) method with s dynamic_cast, so there's no need for a separate apply(Billboard&)."
In essence, the FLT exporter was emitting a full set of Mesh records each time it encountered a PrimitiveSet.
Attached is a fix. The code now emits the Mesh set up records, then iterates over all PrimitiveSets and emits a Mesh Primitive record per PrimitiveSet.
It also loops over PrimitiveSets twice, first writing Face records according to the mode, the writing Mesh records (again according to the mode).
The final change included here is support for GL_POINTS as single-vertex Face records.
Billboards are still to come."
* Support for Vec4ubArray for color data
* Support for material transparency
Thanks to Neil Hughes, Jason Daly, yourself, and others for testing and reporting issues."
Changes to existing files:
ReaderWriter.cpp -- to support writeNode() of course.
ReaderWriterATTR.cpp -- to support writeObject -- we write .attr files for textures, if they don't already exist.
AttrData.cpp/.h -- Minor fixes.
CMakeLists.txt -- to include the new files in the build."
From Robert Osfield, port to non Windows platforms just required fixing of header capitilization errors
that windows lets through the net due to having a case insensitive file system.
The files are:
include/osgSim/ObjectRecordData -- The new class. Derives from Object to support .osg IO.
src/osgPlugins/OpenFlight/PrimaryRecords.cpp -- Reads data into that class.
src/osgPlugins/osgSim/IO_ObjectRecordData.cpp -- .osg IO support."
From Robert Osfield, made the OpenFlight read object record data optional via the -O readObjectRecordData ReaderWriter option.
last primary node inside a push-pop level would not get the dispose()
call. This would result in information from some ancillary records,
like the matrix (transform), being lost.
Changes are made to the latest version in the repository.
Thanks to Terry for the help to find and fix the bug and test the changes."
completed the new registration of the plugin-readerwriters
("REGISTER_OSGPLUGIN") according to your osgstaticviewer-example (see

old loader, but appear very, very wrong with the new one. I traced the
problem to the handling of the palette override flags in the external
reference records. The current behavior for handling the palette
override flags for external references has different offsets for
different OpenFlight version (2 bytes for 14.2-15.1 and 4 bytes for 15.2
and later). However, I believe this behavior is incorrect.
I know that the original 14.2 OpenFlight spec (dated April 1995)
specifies 2 bytes between the filename and the override flags, and the
15.4 and later specs specify 4 bytes. However, I also found a 14.2.4
OpenFlight spec (dated January 1996) that changes the specification to 4
bytes. Also, the databases in question were created using an old IRIX
version of MultiGen II, which wrote OpenFlight 14.2 files natively.
These files also have 4 bytes between the filename and flags.
Furthermore, these databases have always worked properly under earlier
versions of OSG, under Performer, and in every MultiGen product we've used.
This leads me to believe that the original 14.2 spec was incorrect (the
14.2.4 spec corrected this error), and there should be 4 bytes between
the filename and flags for all OpenFlight files version 14.2 and later.
The attached fix modifies the OpenFlight loader to behave in this way."
Currently, if the texture attribute file doesn't explicitly specify an
internal format, the loader will force it to use GL_RGB, which keeps
translucent textures (eg. GL_RGBA textures) from showing up properly.
This patch changes the default behavior to simply use the image's format
instead of forcing a particular format."
