Replies: 11

People need to stop calling DevC++ a compiler, and then they need to just plain stop using it. It's a buggy piece of junk, especially in later versions. They would crash hard all the time, and then the software got abandoned. Use Code::Blocks or VSC++2008 Express. If you are primarily targeting an M...

Newwer screen technologies haven't caught up to CRT technology.

CRTs have infinite contrast ratio in a dark room, they don't get dead pixels, or have issues with response time. They also don't suffer from viewing angle limitations, and you can buy new ones to this day.

Which monitor? You can just look it up on the internet, and see which resolutions work best for it.

You can use function pointers that change depending on state, or just a switch statement in the main update function of the game class. A state is just an integer variable like any other, and it changes to one of your possible states whenever certain things happen. If the user clicks on the high sco...

b3d works too.

I was doing it like this:

IMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("maps/ppr_warehouse.extension");
IMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addMeshSceneNode(mesh);

I was using the DeleD exporters, maybe they are at fault.

Are all the loaders broken? Because unless I load an .x file, nothing happens, and the cursor gets stuck in the middle of the window.

I tried .dae, .mesh, .obj, all with the same problem. Only .x works.

How do I set the path to my textures?

I'm loading an x file mesh as my level / backdrop and I'm not sure yet how to set my texture folder. MY searches haven't turned anything up yet. Do the .x files and textures have to be in the same folder?

1.4 Question

I'm looking to start a small project that could use one of the new 1.4 features. I'm wondering if 1.4beta is stable enough to use without any problems, and will I be able to swap it out to 1.4 stable without much trouble?

Now why are IE and Netscape grouped together when Netscape and Firefox are basically the same browser with a different name.
