Irrlicht Engine

If you are willing to help me write it. I am still trying to load a map and enable a physics engine. I have other projects I am working on at the moment as well so this one may take a bit of a back seat.

If there was a reliable and free way to run 99% of the pc games available I would switch 500% to linux but until then I will have to do with running it in vmware. Transgaming costs $5 a month to get their updates and they support most (all?) big name games within weeks of release. They make an addo...

no its a free license. allowing use in a non-commercial environment. and to the guest you says that I brought up the whole subject of comparisions all I meant was that it was easier to code not that it in anyway was worse or better than ode or newton in its ability to perform its job.

I was never saying that Novodex was better than Newton for friction. If you wish to turn this into a flame could you do it somewhere else please as this is about how to integrate novodex into irrlicht now how it compares to other physics engines.

ease. although it doesn't look like it incorporates ragdoll it doesn't look like it would be that hard to implement. Coding with Novodex is as easy as coding with Irrlicht once you know what to do.

thats what novodex called them. I have no idea why.

I never said it was more stable. I just said it was easier. As well it depends on the type of friction you are using as well because there is no friction, isotropic friction and ansiotropic friction, each acting differently.

Novodex looks easier than ode or newton but doesn't look like it has any ragdoll features.

I used Firefox when it was called Firebird and whatever was before it.

Then what about the EU Software Patents they are currently battling for things like the scrollbar.

but does it actually apply to the people who write the engines or would it apply more to developers of opengl and directx?

I am already planning on making a gta/underground style game. check my thread under project announcements. I was originally planning to model it after my own city and might eventually but I could use yours as well. What do you think?

I don't know really. I would like it in a format loadable by irrlicht is all. A wavefront obj or direct x file would work too.
