I need a help :-)

Hey!!

I need help!!! I wrote swing application, when jPCT is used for rendering scene to canvas component. But I get this strange error message:

Code Select Expand


[ Sat Jun 04 22:30:16 CEST 2005 ] - ERROR: Can't do portal rendering without a main world being defined!
[ Sat Jun 04 22:30:16 CEST 2005 ] - ERROR: Passed an Object3D to getCurrentSector that isn't defined as main!

This is my class. What's wrong ??

Thx 4 help!!

I solved this problem, by adding this line in constructor:

theWorld.setMainObjectID( terrain.getID() );

While that may work, it's actually a workaround and i don't recommend it. It will bite you sooner or later. Your actual problem is, that you are calling Config.tuneForIndoor(), which itself enables portal rendering. But you are not using portal rendering and i don't recommend on doing so, so the best solution is to turn it off after calling tuneFor... To do this, simply set Config.doPortalHsr to false. You can then remove the call to setMainObjectId() and it should work fine.
