Does anyone have a real rope include file, something that does
end-points and length... the math is a little complex for me to solve.
um... if it helps, here's the math:
(quoted from Mark's standard handbook for mechanical engineers)
Given the Length 2L of a chain supported at two points A and B Not in
the same level, find a (b,c are suposed to be known)
Let (sqrt(L^2-b^2)/c = s/x; use s/x = sinh(z)/z to find z. then a = c/z.
well, here's a pic too...
have fun all, and i hope someone can help with this...

Well, You should have search for the chain include.
At least it does the end-points and a sort of looselyness.
(afterall, a rope could be modelled as a chain with very small links).
Counting the number of links, it gives you back the length,
but I do not remember if it provide the coordinates of the low point...
