1.9.7 + 1.9.5 inflexible hinge behaviour

Postby hiltropper » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:34 pm

I know some descriptions of bugs are very similar to that but i think this problem i have should be explained more detailed.

It is nearly impossible to get a perfect cirlce - car rolling slowly.
you hinge two cirles on a box ,put an engine on it and push it -
it stops moving instantly. The masses are influencing the hinges , they are blocking what many people should have recognized already.
you can change any value like legacy mode , hingeconstant from NaN to any int value or +inf , change the mass of the geometries is the only acceptable solve . But this influences every other behaviour to much .
if you have a engine for such a simple car for example , it cant get through the resistance of the hinge in lower speeds .that causes other problems : if you make the car heavier , the engine gets to weak .

i think it has to do with the new solver - which is great - there is no question.
but there has to be any mode that allows to have the old 1.8.5 behaviour back .
looks like legacy mode and hingeconstant are planned for that , but it does not work well.

could be that you disagree , but i definitely find it annoying.

still there in the new 1.9.7

Really annoying, old engines won't work on 1.9.5. It just feels like the hinges would be on autobrake all the time.
I like crashes alot!

Back from my vacation and ready to fix some bugs!

The problem is something called auto-bend-constraint, which is what keeps chains from vibrating faster than Algodoo can simulate them. The problem is that by misstake the auto-bend-constraint was enabled for all hinges, not just those in chains.

In 1.9.8 this will be fixed. Scenes made in earlier betas will still have the auto-bend (even for non-chain hinges), unless legacyMode is set to 0.

Oh that explains a lot.
I bet most of our mechanical problems in 1.9.x will go away.
Thanks.
