v2.1.0

Changes in v2.1.0 †

Installation of SIGVerse became simple †

In old version †

$ ./configure \
--prefix=/home/<username>/sigverse-<version> \
--with-jvm=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server \
--with-julius=/usr/bin/julius \
--with-dictkit=/usr/local/share/dictation-kit-v4.0

In the new version †

$ ./configure

Install to home directory as default

There is no need to specify the install directory for java and julius

Compilation of controller †

In old version †

write .cpp file -> create Makefile -> compilation -> creation of world file -> execution

In the new version †

$ sigcreate <WorldName>

Working directory named WorldName is created automatically. Makefile, default controller file, world file are set in the working directory.

Controller can be created by just

$ ./sigmake.sh <ControllerName>

You don't need to create Makefile

Quit of SIGVerse server †

In old version †

kill script is required to quit the server process.

In the new version †

You can quit the SIGVerse server process with ctr+c

The script

$ sigkill.sh

will quit the SIGVerse server process with is started by the self user.

$ sigend.sh -p <port>

can quite the SIGVerse server process with target port number.

Automatic port number management function †

In old version †

$ sigserver.sh -p <PortNumber> -w <WorldFile>

In the new version †

$ sigserver.sh -w <WorldFile>
[SYS]  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[SYS]  //////////////World number 0  (port 9000)///////////////
[SYS]  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Each World Number has 5 socket ports

Display of Entity data †

• Red：Position of entity
• Green：Position of parts
• Blue：Position of joint
• Orange: Position and direction of camera

Display of collision detection area †

Distance sensor †

• Array of distanceSensor1D, distanceSensor2D designed at even interval angles. (Array are designed to fit pixel of camera in the old version.)
• Distance calculation algorithm is updated.
• Freez problem is fixed when the measurement frequency is too fast.

Modification of calculation of center of gravity for entity †

• If you want to need to read shape file using previous algorithm, please use Viewer menu -> Settings -> Entity Position -> Average vertices(old) to connect a server.

Service Library †

Add the following APIs

• captureView
• distanceSensor
• distanceSensor1D
• distanceSensor2D
• getDepthImage
• setAutoExitLoop
• setAutoExitProc

Function for automatic overwrite of shape file †

• If the shape files are modified by the server side, shape files in the client will be updated automatically by Viewer menu -> Settings -> Overwrite shape file.

Other bugs †

• management of position/orientation of cameras
• small bugs in dynamics simulation
• return value of onAction in service library
