World: r3wp

I invite RobertS on http://www.digicamsoft.com/cgi-bin/rebelBB.cgi?thread=<16Nov201014400973923100>
Or send me an email.

good to see that at least Maxim is back... he was in black out as 
well:)

yes... sick.  but back on track and with a successfull showing of 
my 3D R3 to the potential customer.  so the CGR system will continue 
to be evolved after the holidays.

the current version handles multiple 3D view ports and interactive 
dragging of 3d gobs while they are being animated with practically 
no performance loss a part for the 2d gob handling.  I'll check out 
Cyphre's OpenGL tests so see how they can be integrated with CGRs 
so that the complete solution is hardware accelerated.

I'll probably be using my holiday free time to finally release R2 
glass and make a preliminary release of Remark which is tightly coupled 
to cheyenne.

I was getting the impression that R2 glass was out and r3 glass dev 
was on....

optical illusion :)

to get glass for R3 is a big endeavour, but after the holidays, possibly 
starting in february, I will be working on this.  


right now I've got a very stable glass for R2 which just needs to 
get its last touches applied to current skin and refurbishments for 
the tutorial I had already started building which is now a bit out 
of date with current state of glass.

Nice, Nick! Trying to convince people to vote for you this year? 
:)

Cool stuff

nick, maybe you should franchise out your system

Yeah

lol,  no I'm cementing my position for next year  ;-)

the gui combo announced fails with  

** Script error: path styl/faced is not valid for none! type     
              which I posted in the wrong place (how I have come 
to loathe altme ...)

Oldes - nice achievement - wrapping 336 FMOD API functions - was 
that what you mean by autogenerated? Because if not, it is really 
an extensive work done ....

I parse the fmod.h file and generate the commands... but in some 
cases it require manual overview so that's why some of the functions 
are still missing (and some may not work.. like the CMD_FMOD_Channel_SetSpeakerMix 
where it requires more than 7 args as an input, so I must probably 
manualy modify it. Also it's just the functions exported to REBOL, 
so it may require some more work to be more usable in real life.. 
and I must learn how to do callbacks (my next lesson)

But better to make it available now so someone can overview it when 
I need an advice.

So far I can say, that R3's extension are much more better than R2's 
dll support. At least when you want to do something real. And it's 
usable for C newbies like me.

(now if I had a mini gui, I could make Rebamp:) I should invest some 
time to the view part as well.

nice work, Oldes.
I agree, a mini gui would allow atractive demos.

Seems Carl has worked on that in march...
http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/gui/guide.html

That's the old (Carl's) GUI version which is causing confusion now 
as it does not work anymore.

Robert, Yule is held at different dates, but just like Christmas 
and many other light fests, it's originally the feast of the returning 
light, widwinter. So technically, it would normally be at December 
21

There are explanations that some of them are a few days later because 
that used to be the first day that the light could reliably be measured 
to have turned

Erk, forgot about the Announce/Ann-Reply relationship.  Thanks for 
the explanation, Kaj

Anton - can't find the comlib group here.


Can you pass a decimal to Excel?  Or do you format it as string and 
pass it as %s ?

this lists the identifiers used in the dishelper http://disphelper.sourceforge.net/readme.htm

I also tried %D for date and got an error .. but %s works fine

There is group "Windows/COM support".

Is Orthodox and Eastern rite churches Christmas on Jan 7, 2011  [ 
see discussion on Announce thread ;-)  ]

That would be the start of the moon year, instead of the sun year

I posted a note on a 2.7.8 problem under !Rebol2 Releases group ( 
for the VIEW release numbered 3.1 at some 800+ Kb )

Thanks for publishing your host kit source, Robert!

Thanks a lot, Robert!

Thanks.. so here is a merge with Carl's version https://github.com/Oldes/R3A110

So here is the diff: https://github.com/Oldes/R3A110/commit/80c00af3f764d67694a4ed2878bc2e86a571408d

Oldes, just out of curiosity: why you merged the release when it 
was already based on A110?

to see the difference of course:)

That's the most important thing for people who want to see what's 
new.

ok, I thought you found some inconsistencies with our merged version.

(one can easily see the change when doing local diffon the a110 so 
that confused me)

maybe I should normalize the tabs first... some people may not want 
local diffs.

btw you have duplicated test scripts in your merge...we use .r3 suffix 
but Carl just .r for R3 scripts.

I will alter the commit... I should give it more time.. at least 
the tab incosistency is confusing.

I see bits of my example extension leaked in there :-)

yep, I put there some 'demo extension' based on your template

...also added few datatypes test..would be good if people extend 
the demo...could be uset for testing purposes.

(to see what datatypes doesn't work well in the hostkit etc.)

Btw.. is there any reason why RMA does not have own account on github 
so it would be more clear who does the work?

RMA is using own internal company repositories. If you are curious, 
all the hostkit changes has been done by me so far.
