add grpcPlugin, it can work in GUI, SHARED_MEMORY_SERVER, DIRECT and other modes.
example script to start server from pybullet:
import pybullet as p
p.connect(p.GUI)
#if statically linked plugin
id = p.loadPlugin("grpcPlugin")
#dynamics loading the plugin
#id = p.loadPlugin("E:/develop/bullet3/bin/pybullet_grpcPlugin_vs2010_x64_debug.dll", postFix="_grpcPlugin")
#start the GRPC server at hostname, port
if (id>=0):
p.executePluginCommand(id, "localhost:1234")
Only in DIRECT mode, since there is no 'ping' you need to call to handle RCPs:
numRPC = 10
while (1):
p.executePluginCommand(id, intArgs=[numRPC])
Problem description:
When you add a body, remove it and then add a new
body, the body id may be reused by Bullet.
Because the visual shape data was not being removed when a body was
removed, requesting the visual shape data for a 'recycled' body id
results in both the visual shape data of the new body as well as the old
one.
Removing the visual shape data when the body gets removed fixes this.
Changes the btAlignedObjectArray for visual shapes to a hashmap, so
that removing is faster. Additionally, functions like getNumVisualShape
don't perform a linear search anymore.
Will add GRPC client and PyBullet GRPC server plugin.
Will cover most/all SharedMemoryCommand/SharedMemoryStatus messages.
Run the server, then test using the pybullet_client.py
This avoids issues with systems with large mass ratios.
Test: add this to BasicDemo/BasicExample.cpp in initPhysics
m_dynamicsWorld->getSolverInfo().m_numIterations = 1000;
m_dynamicsWorld->getSolverInfo().m_leastSquaresResidualThreshold = 1e-4;
This removes the need to specify the body id/link index when retrieving a user data entry.
Additionally, user data can now optionally be set to visual shapes as well.
The following public pybullet APIs have changed (backwards incompatible)
addUserData and getUserDataId
Makes linkIndex parameter optional (default value is -1)
Adds optional visualShapeIndex parameter (default value is -1)
getUserData and removeUserData
Removes required parameters bodyUniqueId and linkIndex
getNumUserData
Removes required bodyUniqueId parameter
getUserDataInfo
Removes required linkIndex parameter
Changes returned tuple from (userDataId, key) to (userDataId, key, bodyUniqueId, linkIndex, visualShapeIndex)
