Sample Maps

  1. Download the sample maps as datasrcs.zip from Tuan's web site.
  2. Extract the directory datasrcs that you find in your datasrcs.zip into the PLSM/Samples/media/paginglandscape2 directory that you will create in the next section.
  3. Once you have extracted them, you can enable the terrains in paginglandscape2.cfg and maptools.cfg if needed. CVS users: You are required to do this.

Prebuilt Demo Binaries

  • Download the binaries here and extract all files into a directory. It doesn't matter how you call it, but here we shall call it the PLSM directory.
  • Download and extract the Sample Maps as described in the previous section. Now you should have several *.raw and *.png textures in this directory: PLSM/Samples/Media/paginglandscape2/datasrcs/.
  • Change the resources.cfg in the base directory to the following:
# Resource locations to be added to the 'boostrap' path
# This also contains the minimum you need to use the Ogre example framework
[Bootstrap]
Zip=./OgreCore.zip

# Resource locations to be added to the default path
[General]
FileSystem=./
FileSystem=./fonts
FileSystem=./programs
FileSystem=./scripts
FileSystem=./textures
FileSystem=./models
FileSystem=./overlays
FileSystem=./particle
FileSystem=./gui

[PLSM2]
FileSystem:=./Samples/media/paginglandscape2/
FileSystem:=./Samples/media/paginglandscape2/terrains
FileSystem:=./Samples/media/paginglandscape2/materials\textures

FileSystem:=./Samples/media/paginglandscape2/materials
FileSystem:=./Samples/media/paginglandscape2/materials/scripts
FileSystem:=./Samples/media/paginglandscape2/materials/programs
FileSystem:=./Samples/media/paginglandscape2/datasrcs
  • In the file PLSM\Samples\Media\paginglandscape2\paginglandscape2.cfg change the first line of the file to be
DefaultMap=European_Alpes
  • Run Demo_PagingLandScape2.exe from PLSM directory. Use the demo controls to move around. PLSM2 should be succesfully installed now.


WARNING: do not use any of the dll's from the binary pack to compile/run your own plsm2 applications, use the source package.

Subsection

If the above method didn't work try this.

I'm a newbie Ogre & C++ user so what I'm about to describe may not be by the book, some may not be neccessary but at the very least it did install a working system. Hopefully somebody with more experience will correct my errors.
If you haven't already done so you need to download Ogre & Paginglandscape from CVS. Copy Paginglandscape into the same directory where you unpacked Ogre, eg. /home/someone/Ogre/ogrenew & /home/someone/Ogre/paginglandscape.
Install Ogrenew with the usual bootstrap, ./configure&&make&&make install routine. I like to use checkinstall ( http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ ) as this keeps track of all the files and builds a package for your system & installs that, which is an easy way to keep your box tidy.

a) In /paginglandscape/configure.in,
below "AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)"
add:-
dnl Next line added
AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS

above the "AC_CHECK_LIB" statements
add:-
dnl Next line added
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(OGRE, OGRE >= 1.2)

below the "AC_CHECK_FUNC" statements
add:-
dnl added checks
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(floor)
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(memset)
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(pow)
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(sqrt)
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(malloc.h)
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(sys/param.h)
AC_C_CONST
AC_FUNC_MEMCMP
AC_HEADER_STDBOOL
AC_PROG_RANLIB
AC_TYPE_SIZE_T
AC_C_INLINE
dnl end of added checks

above the "dnl Detect endianness" statement
add:-
dnl Next 2 lines added
AC_SUBST(OGRE_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(OGRE_LIBS)

b) In paginglandscape/Tools/MapSplitter/Makefile.am
add a new line:-
LDADD = @OGRE_LIBS@
c) In paginglandscape/Tools/MapSplitter/src/Makefile.am.

In the line reading "MapSplitter_LDADD = -lOgreMain"
add $(OGRE_LIBS) so that it reads
MapSplitter_LDADD = -lOgreMain $(OGRE_LIBS)
d) In paginglandscape/Samples/PagingLandScape2/src/Makefile.am.
In the line reading "PagingLandScape2_LDADD = $(top_srcdir)/PlugIns/PagingLandScape2/src/Plugin_PagingLandScape2.la"
add $(OGRE_LIBS) so that it reads
PagingLandScape2_LDADD = $(top_srcdir)/PlugIns/PagingLandScape2/src/Plugin_PagingLandScape2.la $(OGRE_LIBS)
e) Copy ExampleApplication.h & ExampleFrameListener.h from ogrenew/Samples/Common/include to paginglandscape/Samples/Common/include
f) In paginglandscape/Plugins/PagingLandScape2/src/OgrePagingLandScapeAxisAlignedBoxSceneQuery.cpp.

add the following if they are not already included:-

#include "OgrePagingLandScapeTile.h"
 #include "OgrePagingLandScapePage.h"
 #include "OgrePagingLandScapePageManager.h"
 #include "OgrePagingLandScapeData2D.h"

f)Make Bootstrap excutable then do Bootstrap, ./configure, make etc.

Check that everything installed Ok by looking in /usr/local/include for the OGRE & PAGINGLANDSCAPE directories and in /usr/local/lib/OGRE for the PagingLandScape2 libraries.

g) Follow the instructions at http://tuan.kuranes.free.fr/Ogre.html for downloading and installing datasrcs.zip.

h) Find resources.cfg in paginglandscape/Samples/Common/bin and rename it to resources_plsm2.cfg then open it in your favourite text editor and change the default paths according to your setup.

For example, for the setup described here:-

[General]
 FileSystem=../../../../ogrenew/Samples/Media
 FileSystem=../../../../ogrenew/Samples/Media/fonts
 FileSystem=../../../../ogrenew/Samples/Media/materials/programs

and so on

We don't have fonts in fonts in the paginglandscape media directory so you can delete or comment out that line in the PLSM section.

i) cd /paginglandscape/Samples/Common/bin

NB.
Before using ./MapSplitter TsmTerrain needs a colormap named terrain_texture.jpg which doesn't exist in the datasrcs directory. However there is a terrain_texture.0.0.jpg in the material/textures directory which I copied and renamed terrain_texture..jpg, leaving it in the materials/textures directory. The extra "." is needed for some reason.

NB. This has been fixed in the latest CVS

After running ./MapSplitter you should see directories of the split maps in paginglandscape/Samples/Media/paginglandscape2/terrains/

j)
Make sure that the new map directories are listed in resources_plsm2.cfg. If not add them.

NB.
In paginglandscape2.cfg I found that I had to change the line "European_Alpes=Alpes" to "alpes=Alpes" before ./PagingLandScape2 would work with this map.

k) After running ./PagingLandScape2 if all has gone according to plan you shold arrive at the Ogre configure dialogue and then at blue filled Ogre render window.

Press F1 a couple of time to clear the debug & help overlays. Then press K key when a small white speck will appear.

Use the W key to zoom in quickly ( may need to zoom out again with the S key). Press M key to switch to camera mode.

You can now use the mouse to look around and zoom in and out at a more respectable rate.

Faq

  • I get no terrain ?


Make sure you did run mapsplitter prior to the demo, and that data splitted is available to Ogre (resources.cfg contains the terrain data directory (media/paginglandscape2/terrains/mylandscapename))
