Irrlicht Engine

How would I convert a binary to a text file?

okay, I got by with a 3DS file, but I really need a .x file loading capability. I get all these strange errors with .x files!

I tried that, but it didn't work. It gives all these runtime errors.

How do you use .X files with Irrlicht? I don't know how to load them or display them. I want to use them as maps, so how would I get them to be solid like the map in the Collision Detection example?

I agree. I think they have a FAQ thing there that shows how you can format your question such that it will be properly answered. I'm an avid user of gamedev.net

If I were to create a .x file that is a level, and I apply the collision detection stuff, will there be the automatic no-walls thing that there is in .bsp's? I mean, if you look at that collision detection demo, you know how you can't pass through walls and stutff? Can I do that easily with a .X?

So for a level, I should use a .X mesh?

What format should I use? 3D Studio MAX? DirectX? Should I create my own level format for use w/Irrlicht? What collision system should I use? ODE? Irrlicht built-in?

The minor problem is the tracks...How would I make them? Would I create them and save them as .X format? Or should I try the .BSP thing?

I want to create a futuristic space racing game using Irrlicht. However, since I am new to this engine, I have no idea how to design this. I worked through the tutorials on the website, so I have a working knowledge of the API. The problem comes up when I want to design this game. Irrlicht seems mor...
