python version of PCZ Scene Manager: zone removing problem

It seems like sceneManager.destroyZone doesn't work since it's for C++ class object and python only passes python objects.

Or.. am I doing it wrong? Am I not supposed to use that function to remove a zone? If so how do I do it to remove a zone?

You will need to supply more information before we can help.. A snip it of Python code and the error you are having would help.. Something like:
DestroyNodes = False
PZSM.destroyZone ( PCZone, DestroyNodes )

You can recreate this error very easily.

Open \PythonOgre\demos\ogrepcz\Demo_PCZ01.py

Search for code like this in def _createScene of class PCZTestApplication

terrain_cfg = "terrain.cfg"
zoneName ="Terrain0_Zone"
self.terrainZone = self.createTerrainZone(zoneName, terrain_cfg)

Add a line:

terrain_cfg = "terrain.cfg"
zoneName ="Terrain0_Zone"
self.terrainZone = self.createTerrainZone(zoneName, terrain_cfg)
self.sceneManager.destroyZone( self.terrainZone, True)
# or self.sceneManager.destroyZone( self.terrainZone, False)

It crashes without any error messages. (I know it's crashed because it triggers the Just In Time debugger for python.exe)


Switching sceneManager into pczSM, for example:

terrain_cfg = "terrain.cfg"
zoneName ="Terrain0_Zone"
self.terrainZone = self.createTerrainZone(zoneName, terrain_cfg)
self.pczSM.destroyZone( self.terrainZone, True)
# or self.pczSM.destroyZone( self.terrainZone, False)

does not help. (I have no idea what a difference is though lol there's no doc)

anyone?

I wanted to fix it so I tried to build Python Ogre with no luck..
when I do buildmodule.py -g ogre I get this..

I really want to remove a zone so I can page terrain lol

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Python-Ogre as it's simply exposing the function -- perhaps you could hack the Ogre demo (C++) to see if it has the same issue.

Perhaps it is zone 0 and this can't be deleted ??

Andy

Aww

I tried C++ version of PCZTestApp...

Oh yeah it crashes just the same.

For zone 0... I don't know but trying to delete secondly created zone crashes just the same.. maybe second zone also is some another root zone(zone 0?) well but no way to know unless I dig into source code..

I'll ask PCZSM guy..

Thanks.
