Thank you for the pointers. However I am having some slight difficulty with
path variables in windows such that I can't get any of the plugins to load.
I have the enviroment variables set as follows:
User variables:
PATH = ^otherpaths^;C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph\bin
OSG_FILE_PATH = C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph\Data
System variables:
PATH = ^otherpaths^;C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph\bin
OSG_FILE_PATH = C:\Program Files\OpenSceneGraph\Data
I have built openscenegraph using the debug profile, so all the modules end
with d. Could that be the problem?
Just at the moment i need to copy the assemblies i need from the bin
directory to my debug folder, whereas i thought that they would just be
automatically found. However this does not fix the plugins issue.
Thanks,
James

You'll need to do the following to create your own plugin:
* Create a .dll/.so that uses the naming convention osgdb_ext.dll/.so,
where ext is the extension of the file you support. (You can also use
extension aliases.)
* Put your plugin library in a location where OSG can find it. On Windows,
PATH, and on Linux, LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
* Your library must contain a class that derives from osgDB::ReaderWriter.
You'll probably want to override readNode() and acceptsExtension().
* Use the REGISTER_PLUGIN macro in your plugin source code to register
your plugin with the osgDB. See the header file osgDB/Registry.
As suggested by Serge, take a look at any of the existing plugins for
examples.
Hope this helps,

*Subject:* [osg-users] Reading and writing files
Hi,
I have a quick question about reading and writing files using OSG. I have
read the tutorial about reading files, but I would like to be able to read
my own file format by maybe writing the necessary plugin. Could someone
point me in the direction of how I might be able to do this?
Secondly I want to be able to write to an alias wavefront .OBJ file. I
understand again from the reading files tutorial that a plugin for this
exists, but do I need to somehow specify that this plugin should be used?
Could someone maybe give a little example of writing to a file?
Thank you for any help,
James
