!!Introduction
MogreNewt is a C++/CLI port of ((OgreNewt|OgreNewt)) which, in turn, is a C++ ((wrapper)) for the [http://www.newtondynamics.com|Newton Game Dynamics] physics library. In plain words, MogreNewt integrates with ((MOGRE)) and brings physics to the .NET world using the Newton library.

!!Precompiled Binaries
You can find precompiled binaries of MogreNewt in the latest [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=174997|MOGRE SDK]. __You also need the 'Newton.dll' from the [http://www.newtondynamics.com/downloads.html|Newton Game Dynamics SDK 1.53]. Install the Newton SDK and copy NewtonSDK\sdk\dll\Newton.dll to the OgreSDK\bin\debug and release folders.__

For MogreNewt 2.0, you can find the SDK including binary [http://newtondynamics.com/forum/downloads.php here].

!!Samples
You can find the MogreNewt samples on MOGRE's SVN source on [https://mogre.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mogre/tags/MogreNewt-1.53/Samples]. You will need a SVN client like [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org|TortoiseSVN] to download the files.

For __Newton 2.0__ you will find the samples here [https://mogre.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mogre/trunk/MogreNewt/Samples]

!!MogreNewt Source
The full SVN source of MogreNewt for __Newton 1.53__ is on [https://mogre.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mogre/tags/MogreNewt-1.53]

The current source of MogreNewt on SVN are for the __Newton 2.10 beta__ [https://mogre.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mogre/trunk/MogreNewt].
Or download the tarball archive [http://mogre.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mogre/trunk/MogreNewt|here].

The __Newton 2.0 library__ you find here: [http://www.newtondynamics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4922] 

For Windows use the ''newton.dll'' file from package subdirectory ''sdk\x32\dll_vs9''. (even if you have 64 bit Windows, because MogreNewt by default compiles against this)

!!!Building MogreNewt 2.0 For Mogre 1.4
The current version of MogreNewt 2.0 is for the 1.6 version of Mogre.

To compile it for the Mogre 1.4 version you need to edit ''OgreNewt_Body.cpp'': 

Add ''#include "OgreNoMemoryMacros.h"'' before ''Joint::Destructor'' in ''OgreNewt_Joint.cpp'' and ''Body::NewtonDestructor''. 

Also add ''#include "OgreMemoryMacros.h"'' after the same functions.

!!Known bugs MogreNewt 2.0
* Some violation exception in treecollision class: [http://www.ogre3d.org/addonforums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10997]            
* ''MogreNewt::CollisionPrimitives::ConvexHull'' exception if the entity is a ((ManualObject)).
* ''MogreNewt::CollisionPrimitives::ConvexHull'' exception if the Mogre object has a scale of 0
* ''MogreNewt::World::SetThreadCount(2)'' produces a bug with bounding box updating of Ogre object: [http://www.ogre3d.org/addonforums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11247&p=64439]
