Irrlicht Engine

It is possible to access files from folders inside zip archives. Like for instance:

device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("data.zip");

scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("Meshes/Mesh1.b3d");

that won't load the map you also need this code:

scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("map-20kdm2.bsp");
scene::ISceneNode* node = 0;

I think a setup like the one DirectX has would be fine (that's camera at 0,0,0 looking along the positive Z) without key maps, etc.

Why is it that I can't see anything if I don't create a camera? Shouldn't be there a default camera that kicks in when the user doesn't explicitly add a camera?

Hey just a quick question. Im working on a project and would like to know if it is more difficult working with animated mesh objects in Irrlicht, or if an animated character with bones is harder. I need the felxibility and complex animation I can only do with bones (using 3ds max), and would like t...

If you're still looking for help with this here's the finds from a search for getRayFromScreenCoordinates:

Hm the results don't how. Make the search by yourself using "getRayFromScreenCoordinates" as the keyword

Version 0.95 released. This update has many bug fixes and few small additions. With this version I have pretty much reached my initial goals for Script Editor

this is what I'm using, not sure it works with Max version 8 though

It worked well. I didn't compile Irrlicht in ages so I had some trouble compiling (i.e DirectX8 SDK which I didn't had, etc) Anyways here's the model with normalized weights inside MeshViewer: http://proimpact2.googlepages.com/NormallizedWeights.jpg Thumbs up to Luke. [EDIT] I've got the 'normalize'...

Ok I'll take a look and let you know how it went.

yeah, send the files.

Shoe, I had some debug errors displayed and I thought the posts didn't made it. Sorry for spamming.

I've built a model for testing purposes. http://proimpact2.googlepages.com/human.b3d When I load the model in Unwrap3D (downloaded the demo) the animation plays just fine (one leg lifts off the ground). When I load the model inside Irrlicht MeshViewer the chest explodes. Is there another file format...

I've got it working with Irrlicht 1.2. There were few incompatible bindings, none of them was important so I left them out.

On the bit about using biped, my guess is you can't export animation that uses biped. Although I might be wrong I tried it one and it didn't work, also I think a saw someone on the forums saying biped doesn't work.

Maybe someone can confirm/deny.

Thanks, that would be a great help.
