Recast/Detour Module

I've created a python-ogre module for Recast/Detour/Detour Crowd. There is still quite a bit to do, nevertheless I've created the demo based on the following link:

Hopefully I'll find some time next week to finish it and upload to Sourceforge. If anyone else has experience using Recast or is interested in helping out let me know.

Sorry due to computer failure didn't have a chance to work on this any further. I've managed to retrieve and upload the files to google.

You will have to build the recast source yourself, manually extract the relevant dirs from the archive to your python-ogre dir prior to building the python module(see the included README).

The module isn't very pythonic and still needs quite a bit of work but the demo should run. If anyone has any problems, wants to update the module I'll try and help where possible but I probably won't be working on this or anything python-ogre related in the near future.

Did anyone try this or the OgreProcedural module? I'll look at updating based on anyones feedback.

Hi,

im not a python wrapper expert, i wanted to try it but i find it difficult to setup.
When i download some python libs I can use the "setup.py install" but thats all i can ! lol.

Can i hope an easy to install recast/detour module ? Having to build recast is a painfull task.

What i mean is for example Ive installed wxpython, but it never asked me to compile the wx c++ version.

I believe that a lot of people are in the same situation and they just run away because of the complexity.

If someone can share a ready to use version it would be great.

There is a lot of tools around here that i just cant use because of the complexity of the setup.
And for such a powerfull render engine it is horrible for new users.

Take nxOgre as an example, you have multiple versions at the same time with different strange names like "bloody mess", "detritus", "buggyswires", "bleeding", "cake", "flour", "flower". How do you want someone to understand this ? Just call a cat "cat" !

I understand what you are saying and the difficulties in building modules, python-ogre probably will never be a simple "setup.py install".

If you are developing on Linux you will probably want to build yourself. For a Windows pre-built version I guess you are out of luck at the moment.

You would be better asking this on the NxOgre forum.
