Irrlicht Engine

Next Lime version will be released sooner than Irrlicht 1.9. But not this week for sure, more likely 1-2 weeks later.

Hello.               /* can't find lime equivalent             material.MaterialTypeParam =                 irr::video::pack_texureBlendFunc(irr::video::EBF_SRC_ALPHA,                     irr::video::EBF_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA,                     irr::video::EMFN_MODULATE_1X,                     irr::...

Small demo video of a new Irrlicht Lime example - L18.LightningShots.

P.S.: I use triangle selector for each ball to pick nearby triangles. To make lightning slide by triangles, i use Triangle.GetClosestPointOnTriangle() for each of them.

Those balls need some soft particle-ing. Maybe. But i just tryed to implement an idea, its not optimized enough and i will not do it, to stay example simple and clean. For instance i draw only lines very fast (each lightning includes 10 lines) and i do draw them all in single call (all lines from a...

Generally i know two ways: 1) modify texture coords of the mesh; 2) modify texture matrix of the material. First case is not possible for billboards, because IBillboardSceneNode doesn't expose the mesh. Second way is possible, because it inherited from ISceneNode, which has getMaterial(). So you can...

LightningShots

LightningShots - a new Irrlicht Lime example.
User can shot balls of light which reacts with all nearby geometry by drawing lightnings to it.
p.s.: soon i will post video at "Post your Irrlicht gameplay video here" topic.

That's more like Destroy A World

That looks very impressive.
Good job!

I didn't tested, but i guess you can use Id attribute to identify each node, just make sure each node you need has its own unique Id value. For example:     <node type="cube">         <attributes>             <int name="Id" value="100022" /> Then, in the code, after you...

I don't really get what is the problem. If generation time of some colors take so much than why you just don't pre-generate them all? Why do you need to generate the colors in the Irrlicht thread? Maybe you can do it in WPF thread, when user selects a color, you just pass it to the Irrlicht thread. ...

...a plane with a texture repeated across it. Hello! Well, your first approach was right, the second one i didn't tested. Anyway, the problem was that GetTextureMatrix() returns a copy of the matrix, so the intention is that you save it, make changes and call SetTextreMatrix(). I made next code wit...

Well, i don't think i can help you here, because i don't know what is SWIG, and how do you plan to compile managed c++ on Linux. That is beyond my understanding

I'm here. What do you need?

The is no method to get count of scene nodes. And i don't see the point of it, maybe only for statistics. To calc node count you can go though all child nodes of the root node of scene manager, and then go to their child nodes and so on. I suggest you to add nodes by layers, so you create so empty n...

Thats some true street magic is going on at GarbageCollect()
