Hi,
ubOde and bullet where created in parallel so naturally had
different interpretations of details and implementation.
Making them more identical is a slow and hard going on process.
To check if ubode or bullet are more corret on a feature, one
needs to compare to original reference.
This does not mean we will not add Opensim extensions, but
those will be flagged as such
Old ODE has its very own idea of vehicles (should no longer be
used on new regions)
On this case ubOde seems correct… but then im biased on that
;)

Subject: [Opensim-users] ubODE vs. Bullet
I am working on a script for a submarine and am having issues with it working
fine in ubode but will not dive or surface in Bullet physics.
Here are the primary items that are involved with the physics.
This is the initial settings the object is set with.
set_engine(){
llSetVehicleType(VEHICLE_TYPE_BOAT);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 0.5);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE, 0.1);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 0.1);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.80);
llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE, <1, 1, 1>);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.2);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 1.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE, 0.5);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 0.2);
llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE, <0.1, 0.1,
0.1>);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.5);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_TIMESCALE, 1.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT, 0.0); // set ball at water
surface
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_EFFICIENCY, 0.5 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_TIMESCALE, 1.0 );
}
These are the controls and they work fine in ubODE, but CONTROL_UP and
CONTROL_DOWN do nothing in Bullet.
control(key id, integer level, integer edge)
{
float gForwardThrust; // variable for forward thrust
float gReverseThrust = -1.5; // reverse thrust backup speed
if(level & CONTROL_FWD)
{
Swimming();
gForwardThrust = 3; // normal forward speed
vTarget = llGetPos(); // get our current position
// if near region edge, slow down
if (vTarget.x > xlimit || vTarget.x < gGuard || vTarget.y > ylimit
|| vTarget.y < gGuard)
{
if (vTarget.x > xlimit) vTarget.x = xlimit;
if (vTarget.x < gGuard) vTarget.x = gGuard;
if (vTarget.y > xlimit) vTarget.y = ylimit;
if (vTarget.y < gGuard) vTarget.y = gGuard;
gForwardThrust = .3; // slow us down
llWhisper(0, "Approaching sim edge, drive away...");
}
if ( vTarget.z < (llGround ( ZERO_VECTOR ) + 0.35) )
{ // too shallow and going to collide with land
gForwardThrust = .05; // slow us down
llWhisper(0, "Too shallow, drive away...");
}
llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION,
<gForwardThrust,0,0>);
}
if(level & CONTROL_BACK)
{
llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION,
<gReverseThrust,0,0>); // back us up
return;
}
if(level & (CONTROL_UP))
{
HovHeightBase = HovHeightBase + 0.02;
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT, HovHeightBase);
}
if(level & (CONTROL_DOWN))
{
HovHeightBase = HovHeightBase - 0.02;
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT, HovHeightBase);
}
if(level & (CONTROL_RIGHT|CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT))
llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <0, 0,-5.0>);
if(level & (CONTROL_LEFT|CONTROL_ROT_LEFT))
llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <0, 0, 5.0>);
if(edge & ~level & (CONTROL_FWD|CONTROL_BACK)) Treading();
}
I might add this is actually from my swim ball script which also works just
fine in ubODE but fails in Bullet on the dive and surface actions.
In bullet nothing at all happens.
Is this a bug in opensim? I know it is expected a script that works in one
physics engine is suppose to work in the other physics engines as well.
Not being an expert at script writing, it is possible I stumbled into doing
something wrong that ubODE can deal with and Bullet can’t.
