Re: [osg-users] RE FLT export submission imminent (Paul Martz)
Hi Neil and Michael, It may be possible to back port the new changes to the OpenFlight plugin to 1.2 as most of the core scene graph is similar, but it requires work to do the initial port then there is the issue about ongoing maintenance. I am not about to go volunteer to administer such a awkward maintenance job as have more than enough work on my plate, but as it's all be open source does make it possible for you to maintain a branch. However, perhaps the best workaround would be to export your models to 1.2 .ive and then use a 2.x version of osgconv to do the conversion from 1.2 .ive to .flt. All the 2.x libs and plugins are versioned so it should be possible to mix. It's certainly not an idea solution but it might give you something to trial without the need for branch the 2.x code base.

Re: [osg-users] RE FLT export submission imminent (Paul Martz)
hi all, robert is clearly best focused on moving osg forward at the trunk, and does great work there. but paul and i realize others may need support for older versions, and provide that through our support plans. so if you really really want this feature in 1.2, please consider one of the support plans paul and i offer. it's precisely through these support plans, training, and custom development work, that paul and i are able to do things that contribute back to osg. at any rate, we offer support plans which provide maintained branches of osg for 1.2, 2.2, or whatever you require. please see my site for details: http://blue-newt.com/products/ bob bob kuehne founder and ceo - blue newt software www.blue-newt.com734/834-2696 On Mar 28, 2008, at 7:05 AM, Robert Osfield wrote: Hi Neil and Michael, It may be possible to back port the new changes to the OpenFlight plugin to 1.2 as most of the core scene graph is similar, but it requires work to do the initial port then there is the issue about ongoing maintenance.

Hi Paul, Will your work integrate with OSG1.2 ? Irrespective of that, I will give it a go soonest and give you some feedback. Many thanks for doing this work, as you know I've been champing-at-the-bit for it. Thanks also to your funding source :-) Kind regards Neil. ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
Re: [osg-users] RE FLT export submission imminent (Paul Martz)
I am also interested in the backwards compatibility with OSG 1.2. Thank you for your time and money of your sponsor.

Re: [osg-users] RE FLT export submission imminent (Paul Martz)
Hi Neil -- The exporter will be integrated with the existing importer, so we'll just have a single FLT plugin that will both read and write. Compatibility with 1.2 might be an issue in a few areas. I had to make some changes both to the FLT importer code, as well as core OSG, to support the exporter's features. Notable changes include: current core OSG now supports passing Options via osgDB::writeNodeFile; current FLT importer now preserves Object Record data; osgSim now has ObjectRecordData class to facilitate that; other changes as well. -Paul Hi Paul, Will your work integrate with OSG1.2 ?
