This also proves that most of the things in the tutorial are still actual and work fine.
I decided to split the tutorial in 2 parts.
Part I: covers a quick intro and how to import and set up Codeblocks to compile the engine. (30 mb, wmv format) http://files.wildspad.com/afecelis/irrl ... ile_01.zip
Part II: covers picking up the dll to use it in our project; using the Codeblocks template for Irrlicht projects.(included in the same video)
I originally used this tutorial and coded with it. but now I've switched over to the newest sdk and msvc 8 because well this stuff is nearly outdated. and because I don't need directx8 I'm confused as to why it's even maintained in irrlicht.
I suppose it may come in useful for somebody at some point.. maybe.
anyways great tutorial man and video this time. very cool.
EDIT: back to using codeblocks.. not even sure what I was thinking before.

I'm glad you find it useful Midnight
Yup, I decided to update it a bit specially for newcomers. I guess it could be adapted to use the latest platform SDK and DX commenting out the DX8 lines. Still, this is what I still use for my stuff and since I mostly use Opengl I got no problems with it.
Another good chance to update it would be with MSVC8 express. The codeblocks "nightly builds" detect it as compiler so everything could be adapted to using it, maybe taking advantage of the debugger available in the express version. It would be the best way to be actual to the tools available nowadays. I´ll probably reinstall msvc express and see how it goes.
Ok guys, thanks to wildrj's help I was able to start uploading stuff.
To begin, here's the compressed DXSDK folder (old dx8 compatible version) which includes the "include" and "lib" folders to be able to compile the Irrlicht engine: http://files.wildspad.com/afecelis/irrl ... /DXSDK.zip
Worst news is that I think I didn't backup the video!
