Irrlicht Engine

Er, it's possible. What are the symptoms?

What you're proposing should work, although it won't be lightning fast. Irrlicht can also render to any HWND, but it craps over it, so that's probably not a viable alternative. There's currently no way to pass a DDRAW surface in to the D3D9 driver; I'd suspect that it won't have the right caps anywa...

Reeeeally not following you here. Any chance you could post some code, and explain (ideally with inline comments) what you expect it to do?

Well, thanks for letting us know. If anyone can produce a sample app that repeatably demonstrates the problem, please do sing out.

Could you be a little vaguer? It's almost possible to guess at what you're asking.

Which maps? What version of Irrlicht? What platform and device?

There are currently no implicit conversions between different vector precisions. We could add them, but I'd have expected that if you're choosing to operate in vector3d<f64> then you'd want explicitly to control the points where you convert to f32 and lose the precision.

Ah, that may be my bug in the 1.5 SDK. How's your Subversion? If you get the latest 1.5 branch from SVN then that should be fixed.

You know, that would have gone so much more smoothly if I hadn't screwed up the SVN commit...

The unit test got missed as well (I could swear I...). I'll get it added tonight, thanks for letting me know.

I'm not aware of anything under active development. In this specific case, I'm really not sure what other functionality you want. Example 15 shows how to load an .irr file. The scene nodes are created for you. That's a "complete" loader right there. The issue is getting pointers to the nod...

Bah, I'll just commit it.

While you chaps were talking about what we could collectively do, I've exposed CGeometryCreator (as IGeometryCreator) through ISceneManager::getGeometryCreator(), in SVN 2205 on the trunk.

Thanks for the great test app! I'm hoping that one of the native Linux guys can have a look into this, but failing that I'll fire up VmWare.

Ooooooh...
