Leander Hasty fa74fbc986 [Case 6491] fixes rotation skip near 0 and 180.
Previously, when rotating, it would be easy to achieve 1 degree granularity, except near the 0 degree and 180 degree "poles", where it would often e.g. jump from 10 to -10, or 174 to -175, or similar.

yawZero/pitchZero/rollZero were all based on the yawHandle/pitchHandle/rollHandle ray intersection, and were not necessarily coplanar with rotateOverlayTarget. As a result, centerToZero didn't lie on the expected plane, while centerToIntersect did.  This had the effect of distorting the rotation range.

We also have a possible issue in here with editOverlay(rotationOverlayTarget,{rotation:...}) not taking effect immediately.  Better to take the existing ray and cast against a known plane, as e.g. translateXZTool and such do.  No risk of stale rotation in that case.

This also cleans up rotationHelper args a bit to avoid some string switches and keep flow a little more readable.

TODO: propagate ray-plane test to helperRotationHandleOnMove rather than relying on ray hit location; normalize onBegin/onMove/etc across all tools to take queryRay and results args to avoid recreating the ray.

High Fidelity (hifi) is an early-stage technology lab experimenting with Virtual Worlds and VR.

In this repository you'll find the source to many of the components in our alpha-stage virtual world. The project embraces distributed development and if you'd like to help, we'll pay you -- find out more at Worklist.net. If you find a small bug and have a fix, pull requests are welcome. If you'd like to get paid for your work, make sure you report the bug via a job on Worklist.net.

We're hiring! We're looking for skilled developers; send your resume to hiring@highfidelity.com

Chat with us

Come chat with us in our Gitter if you have any questions or just want to say hi!

Documentation

Documentation is available at docs.highfidelity.com, if something is missing, please suggest it via a new job on Worklist (add to the hifi-docs project).

There is also detailed documentation on our coding standards.

Build Instructions

All information required to build is found in the build guide.

Running Interface

When you launch interface, you will automatically connect to our default domain: "root.highfidelity.io".

If you don't see anything, make sure your preferences are pointing to root.highfidelity.io (set your domain via Cmnd+D/Cntrl+D), if you still have no luck it's possible our servers are simply down; if you're experiencing a major bug, let us know by adding an issue to this repository. Make sure to include details about your computer and how to reproduce the bug.

To move around in-world, use the arrow keys (and Shift + up/down to fly up or down) or W A S D, and E or C to fly up/down. All of the other possible options and features are available via menus in the Interface application.

Running your own servers

The assignment-client and domain-server are architectural components that will allow you to run the full stack of the virtual world.

In order to set up your own virtual world, you need to set up and run your own local "domain".

The domain-server gives a number different types of assignments to the assignment-client for different features: audio, avatars, voxels, particles, meta-voxels and models.

Follow the instructions in the build guide to build the various components.

From the domain-server build directory, launch a domain-server.

./domain-server

Then, run an assignment-client. The assignment-client uses localhost as its assignment-server and talks to it on port 40102 (the default domain-server port).

In a new Terminal window, run:

./assignment-client

Any target can be terminated with Ctrl-C (SIGINT) in the associated Terminal window.

This assignment-client will grab one assignment from the domain-server. You can tell the assignment-client what type you want it to be with the -t option. You can also run an assignment-client that forks off n assignment-clients with the -n option. The -min and -max options allow you to set a range of required assignment-clients, this allows you to have flexibility in the number of assignment-clients that are running. See --help for more options.

./assignment-client --min 6 --max 20

To test things out you'll want to run the Interface client.

To access your local domain in Interface, open your Preferences -- on OS X this is available in the Interface menu, on Linux you'll find it in the File menu. Enter "localhost" in the "Domain server" field.

If everything worked you should see that you are connected to at least one server. Nice work!
