Irrlicht Engine

Hello there, i just have a quick question. Im trying to parse large files 4gb+ and ive run into a serious problem with seekg, trying to start the pointer at 5,000,000,000 isnt working and it gives me a compiler warning....

warning C4305: 'argument' : truncation from '__int64' to 'long'

How can i ...

im having a similar issue, my game is using a ridiculous amount of memory in the main game loop. It is very strange.

This may be a ridiculous question, and you can laugh at me if you want, but how in the world would a function that only returns a variable be used to accidentally set or modify a variable?

I had a similar issue with my notebook. Oddly enough putting it into software mode fixed the problem, of course there are huge drawbacks to doing that.

Hi there,

i was going over some code examples of a characterclass and saw this



class CharacterClass
{
public:
boolean isMagicUser() const;
};


what exactly is that and shouldnt it be...


class CharacterClass
{
public:
bool isMagicUser() { return m_bMagicUser; }
private:
bool m ...

Yeah thats understandable man.

By the way, i was able to find the actual editor in the bin/ directory (thanks bitplane) and was able to throw a GUI together and save it as an XML file, cool stuff! Sure beats sitting there flipping around with coordinates. Can't wait to see the final solution.

That comment was a more of an attempt of some light hearted humor on my part, i honestly wasn't trying to be a prick here.

Thanks for your helpful response bitplane, much appreciated!

Sorry, i didn't know this would stump the entire forum.

Thanks.

OK, so ive seen this in the wiki but yet this header does not exist in the 1.3 SDK and makes absolutely no mention of a third party kit. So what gives?

Thanks, thats exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi there,

Is it possible to use a char * as an index for an array? For example:
I used to do this with PHP, but c++ just isn't having this!

Thanks! Guess i overlooked that part.

Hi there,

In my game i have some basic network code with sockets, but i have come across a small issue. My understanding of how a program retreives data from a socket is that it will simply sit on a function such as this:


//get a message sent to the socket
bytes = recv(sck_HL,buffer,1023,0 ...
