Plugin can not be parsed in gazebo 1.5.0 in ros groovy about hector_quadrotor HOT 2 CLOSED

The default launch files shipped with the gazebo_worlds package in ROS groovy and in our own launch files in hector_gazebo_worlds and in hector_quadrotor_gazebo use gazebo as node name for the default instance. Make sure you change the <node name="..." ...> attribute accordingly in your own launch files as long as you do not want to run multiple instances. I have no idea where the /gzb prefix should come from otherwise. Most topics subscribed and advertised by gazebo are within its private namespace and have the /<node name> prefix.

The new catkin branch is not compatible with groovy. Make sure you cloned the default groovy-devel branch of hector_quadrotor and all it's dependencies and that all packages have been built without errors (using rosmake hector_quadrotor_gazebo). Alternatively you can just install the binary packages for groovy from the ROS ubuntu repositories (sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-hector-quadrotor).

Regarding the plugin problem, could you post some error output from gazebo or give some more details about what you mean with "can not parse the plugins of the sensor and the controller modules of the simulated quadrotor"?
