Irrlicht Engine

Its not about english, you have to understand that video memory is used only when you load up textures or vertices to the graphics card. With Irrlicht there is no vertex buffers so video memory isnt really an issue for vertices, but Im guessing it is for textures. I agree that you probably wont be ...

My game is team based battle. User can choose the amount of member in each team, range from 3vs3 to 6vs6. In 3vs3 mode, it has 4642 polys, while it has 8532 polys in 6vs6.

I will put a system that makes my game runs at 60 fps in 6vs6 mode and 1024x768 window size into recommended requirement, and ...

About the polys, using IMeshManipulator::getPolyAmount() and this formula :

poly total = map poly + (number of object * object poly)

I found that there are 4642 polys in my game. Then, what is the gfx card parameter should I compare with? Is it the card memory? Or...please tell me if I'm doing the ...

@hybrid
I guess you can only tell the requirements once you finished the software.
I consider my game "finished" (although there are many basic features that can be improved later). About the polys amount, how do you do it? Can it be done by calculating one single object polys and multiply it with ...

My lecturer told me to analyze the minimum and recommended hardware requirement for my software. How should I do it? My current idea is just to run it in several kinds of hardware manually, but since I don't have access to variety kinds of hardware, it would be a tough task.

Are there any better ...

Wow your specs are high end.....

This is mine:

CPU : AMD Sempron 2....dont remember. 2600+ I guess?
RAM : 256 MB
HD : 80 GB
VGA : ATI radeon 9600 FX

I hope I can purchase a better one once I earn my own money.

OK, I solved it. I forgot to drop the pointer of irrlichtDevice.
Thanks

I'm sorry for coming late,.I am a little bit busy lately.

Why do you check for (!font) and use this null pointer for setting the new font? What happens if you get a font?
Anyway, I assume that you have to drop the pointers once you don't need them anymore, otherwise they stay in the cache.

oops ...

irrlicht's bug or my bug?
I'll try your code.

In my application, I create irrlicht device at least twice : the first is using the Null Driver to detect the monitor configuration, close it, and create it again using the more appropriate configuration. The device can be re-created later if the user wants to change the configuration.

The problem ...

OK, I will change all of my textures to the power of 2 size.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it

mmm, no. It's 400 x 143.
Is it necessary to have the size of the power of 2? hmm, I think it's just for image that will be used as mesh texture. Or not?

I made my logo image using Corel Draw, and had it converted into BMP. This is my image in JPG.

But when I load it to my application, it lost its smoothness. Please take a look at this picture below.
