HI Note .... files written by Creator are the Spec for that version that they are writing to .... ( btw 15.6 was not a good time for Creator )
The problem was and is that the publish specs does contain errors and this leads to problems if not using MPI's API's or I should say Presagis these days (So you cannot rely on the spec to be totally correct in all places) I would check the spec across several versions 15.4 was one of the most stable 15.8 was also good, but things like DOFS have not changde much if at all in Creator they have remain the same for most versions There are some nuggets on spec/doc errors lying around in the old MPI forums http://www.multigen-paradigm.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate2.cgi And possible some in the new http://www.presagis.com/peer_forum/ ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Gordon Tomlinson [email protected] IM: [email protected] www.vis-sim.com www.gordontomlinson.com ____________________________________________________________________________ __ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Daly Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 7:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [osg-users] [osgPlugins] OpenFlight DOF node does not readcorrectly Scott Johnson wrote: > Yes, it is strange!

The values were like 1.23456, 8.88888, and -10.9876544. Powers of two and of course zero were not good tests. > OK, just making sure :-) I've seen deviations from the spec in various MultiGen/Creator versions over the years, but this is the weirdest one by far. How do you detect it? Just check for nan after a regular read? That wouldn't seem to be reliable enough... --"J" _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
