Irrlicht Engine

I should return to c#... I simply want to have the IrrlichtDevice, IVideoDriver and ISceneManager collected in a central class CGame. Trying to do it like this: Extract from the header (constructor): IrrlichtDevice* device; video::IVideoDriver* driver; scene::ISceneManager* smgr; And the correspondi...

I think the opengl part comes with your graphics driver, it has (luckily) nothing to do with m$ directx. You might consider installing a new graphics driver, that should help...

Depends on where/how you use it. For a single bloom, a photo would be the better choice - for repeating patterns like grass, a texture would be the method to choose. Why? A texture is (hopefully!) tileable, that means you can put two of them next to each other and cant see the border between them. O...

Arr! I tried that way, but wrote vector2df.x instead of *.X - case sensitiveness can be damn tricky... Thanks!

A little variation of the question: How do I get a vector3df from a vector2df? I gonna work with 2d values in my game (2d math - 3d gfx) and the scenenodes want 3d vectors for their positions... Since simply reading the two directional values from the vector2df doesnt work (no methods to access them...

Ha, thats it. Thanks!

Ive checked the documentation for an irrlicht-specific string class - and I found irr::core::string. But how to I get an instance of that class to use it? These two template parameters confused me. I know how to deal with the template-thing in f.e. dimension2d, but what should I do here to get a str...

HA! Solved! Thanks to quaak from [#c++.de|Quakenet].
I only had to add the implementation file of the eventreceiver to the compiler call... Stupid, I am!

Afaik it does not because polygons only have one upside and only that one is being textured...

You create an array for the keys you want the camera to be controlled with. Your EventReceiver stores the pressed key(s) in the array and passes it to the camera then. Now the camera can move itself according to the pressed keys.

ARR! Never change a running program... I wanted to put the EventReceiver in its own header and cpp files - but now g++ produces a really strange error message: /tmp/ccYFfx16.o: In function `CEventReceiver::CEventReceiver()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN14CEventReceiverC1Ev[CEventReceiver::CEventReceiver()]+0...

Hey, I found what was wrong. I tried to link the static library which was generated by default but I needed the shared object - made one and now it magically compiles.

If I leave out that "strange thing" ( ), it produces that undefined reference to createDevice - but which other libraries do I have to link? Isnt Irrlicht all I need? *confused*

I've written simple Irrlicht apps before, but 1.3 seems to have changed a lot...

The long one is this: IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(driver, dimension, bpp, bool, bool, bool, eventreceiver, [something strange]); Where I dont get it compiled using this one like you can see above. I'm sure there's also a shorter one... Cant find it at the moment. And no, I'm not linking ag...

I cant use the extended version - if I try to, it says the same... Okay, then I gonna use the simple one. But how can I pass the event receiver to the device this way?
