Ah, damn - The circle in the screw was white - that may make problems.
Changed to transparent, use the updated files from this post.

What about an invertde version for black backgrounds?

Usually that's not necessary. Everyone should edit the colors so that it fits to his background.
But i can make one on demand.

What do i need to do on github to get the newest version?
I clicked the download as ZIP button, but i think it's not the newest, because the path joint have not been modified like Julio said.

Also I get build errors with VS Express 2012 project.
Julio, you need to add the Linear Algebra files to the project to fix this.

[Julio Jerez]

I di no think there is any zip file yet. I am trying to complete few issues so that I can upload the first official version 3.13
until then it is jut getting the current version form the archive

The linear algebra was added recently, I fix the project file already it should fine now.

Download Newton using TortoiseSVN, just the way you did it before, but with a different checkout link:
https://github.com/MADEAPPS/newton-dynamics/trunk/

Thanks, compiles out of the box from this (i use VS 2013 Express and project conversation works).

The zip file button is on the bottom right of the main page - big and inviting, refering to https://github.com/MADEAPPS/newton-dyna ... master.zip
Maybe it's possible the zip will be automatically updated, or is it usually thought to be the last 'stable' release?
Personally i'd prefer the zip, it's much faster to download and you don't need a svn client.

If you refuse to "upgrade" visual studio 2013 will not modify the original solution and you're still able to build just fine. However, I don't know if this holds true for the express versions.

Yup, this button will automatically zip up the latest HEAD of the repository for you, no need for a client.

A little confusion is left, the version i downloaded yesterday from https://github.com/MADEAPPS/newton-dynamics/trunk/
did also not contain changes to the path follow joint, so i'm not sure if it's newest version.
I do not need it yet, it's just to give feedback. I do not remember the revision number.

[Julio Jerez]

does the header looks like this?

Code: Select all

class CustomPathFollow: public CustomJoint 
{
   public:
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API CustomPathFollow (const dMatrix& pinAndPivotFrame, NewtonBody* const body);
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API virtual ~CustomPathFollow();
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API void GetPathTarget (dVector& posit, dVector& tangent) const;
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API void SetPathTarget (const dVector& posit, const dVector& tangent);
   protected:
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API virtual dMatrix EvalueCurve (const dVector& posit);
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API virtual void SubmitConstraints (dFloat timestep, int threadIndex);
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API virtual void GetInfo (NewtonJointRecord* const info) const;

   dMatrix m_localMatrix0;
   dVector m_pathTangent;
   dVector m_pointOnPath;
};

[JoeJ]

Ah yes - new getter and setter is there, i did not look close enough

Code: Select all

class CustomPathFollow: public CustomJoint 
{
   public:
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API CustomPathFollow (const dMatrix& pinAndPivotFrame, NewtonBody* const body);
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API virtual ~CustomPathFollow();


   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API void GetPathTarget (dVector& posit, dVector& tangent) const;
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API void SetPathTarget (const dVector& posit, const dVector& tangent);
   
   

   protected:
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API virtual dMatrix EvalueCurve (const dVector& posit);
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API virtual void SubmitConstraints (dFloat timestep, int threadIndex);
   CUSTOM_JOINTS_API virtual void GetInfo (NewtonJointRecord* const info) const;

   dMatrix m_localMatrix0;
   dVector m_pathTangent;
   dVector m_pointOnPath;
};
