Extending the .bullet format

[blademaster]

greetings, I've got a question about Extending the .bullet format.

Enable the 'INTERNAL_UPDATE_SERIALIZATION_STRUCTURES' - DONE
Add it to the "char *includefiles[]" array. - DONE
Get new Bullet/src/LinearMath/btSerializer.cpp file. - DONE

Well, I know about btDefaultSerializer and I known how to save simple .bullet to file. But how can I save my own data structure to .bullet file and how can I load it from .bullet file?

[blademaster]

any ideas?

My guess is that you would have to make a new BT_MAKE_ID and invoke serializer->finalizeChunk with that ID

Later, you can catch the buffer in btBulletFile::parseData and then do whatever you want with it

I might be totally wrong tho, there's surely zillion details about it

Erwin Coumans surely knows best
