Irrlicht Engine

Okay, so I've worked out what is happening. You do have a bug but it's in a different place...

What happened was that I tried to modify the render target texture, and no changes were made in non-Software modes, so then I tried just reading the texture, and that didn't seem to work either. So then I ...

I didn't want to go into too much detail before I got the nod from those in charge - there's no point in my creating a detailed specification if Niko et al don't want this in the first place.

Though it looks like I already went into too much detail for Luben.

So what's the point of all that code in the CD3D9Texture::lock() function? It looks to me like it's creating a duplicate of the render target in system memory, using the DirectX GetRenderTargetData() function to copy the contents of the render target to the duplicate texture and then returning a ...

I am trying to edit a render target texture (to do some post-processing), but it seems that with DirectX this doesn't work. I don't get any errors - it just doesn't change anything. Even if I try to read the texture I just get the wrong bytes back instead of the texture contents. However, it works ...

This isn't about art, it's about coding. That is, coding as art. What I mean is, it doesn't require drawing skills - it requires 3D coding skills, and if you can't do that then what are you doing on the Irrlicht forum?

Oh come on, guys.

Aren't you even going to take the trouble to tell me why the idea sucks?

Hi guys.

I think the engine could include a brief "Using Irrlicht" type animated logo screen that people can include at the start of their projects. Like in commercial games when you run them and it has a 5-second "Published by Publisher X" type thing and then another 5-second "Created by Company ...

Great - thanks for the advice, guys.

I'll let you know how it turns out. It might be a while though...

Ah, I was a bit lost for a while there, but now I think understand what you're talking about. You're saying I could have a single animation with the component body-part meshes all attached to it, or I could have separate animations to go with each body part, the separate animations being attached to ...

So would it be possible to have a collection of meshes all attached to one skeleton? i.e. separate meshes for the torso, head, hands, and feet, but all animated as one? What would happen at the joints? Obviously I would make sure that the joins matched up in the modeller, but then when it is ...

Hi everyone.

I would like to be able to have animated characters in my game with body parts that I can change. For example, the hero would start off with bare feet and then when he finds a pair of cool boots with spikes on, the feet/ankle/lower-leg part of the mesh would get swapped out from the ...

Well, you say that the inits are done somewhere, but when I ran the irrlicht DLL in debug mode those variables were 0xcdcdcdcd when it came to the drop() function, which then tried to drop() them and that crashed.

Also, if you don't want to include my test for VideoDriver being NULL, try setting ...

Okay, I've installed the DX9 SDK and found the reason for the crash. It's in here:

bool CGUIFont::load(io::IReadFile* file)
{
return loadTexture ( Driver->createImageFromFile ( file ),
file->getFileName()
);
}
This crashes because Driver is NULL. To fix it, add two lines (marked with + below ...

I've just downloaded Irrlicht 1.2 and IrrWizard 1.1, and have been playing around with them. I got all four wizard modes to compile in Visual Studio 7.1, but when choosing DirectX as the display mode, the application crashes. The line is:

m_pDevice = createDevice(EDT_DIRECT3D8, core::dimension2d ...
