Irrlicht Engine

Does not seem like there would be much efforts towards merging. devsh maybe you really could come up with repo that contains just commits relevant to irrlicht? If you were using git it is possible . Also i looked through changes. One thing made me curious - there are quite some code blocks simply co...

wrapping entire lib manually will take forever. maybe you should look at shiboken. it is wrapper generator for PySide (python wrapper for Qt). Now Qt is big and complex lib meaning that shiboken works. i pastebin'ed my little experiment that generates some wrappers. did not get to building ant testi...

@roxaz: How does your client figure out when there are new files on the server? its simple: server hosts update.manifest with file hashes, sizes and modification times. client downloads update.manifest, iterates all files, calculates file hash if needed, if it does not match hash in update manifest...

the way i did it is make updater client do heavy lifting. server just contains file hashes, sizes and modification times. client decides which files are out of date and should be obtained. then on the server side its plain http server, nothing more. i even put together delta updating using xdelta. i...

if anyone has ported this to latest sdk please share

we have provided x64 builds from day 1 ....

awesome, i did not download so did not know. thanks for satisfying my curiosity :p

all that high precision and perf counters are overkill, seriously. irrlicht uses GetTickCount() under the hood when not using high performance timer. GetTickCount() has 15ms resolution. That is plenty for just about anything.

also bear in mind that to really use power of doubles they would have to be fed directly to opengl (yes, it can work with doubles too!). directx on the other hand cant. so if you wish to use directx you would have in the end still reduce to doubles. in that case it does not matter at all if double s...

Thanks for feedback! As instructed i split changes to 4 separate patches and updated first post. Allowed myself to correct one indentation problem (spaces->tabs) Updated getElementFromName() too - doc comment changes name->id and check for name of this element. And yes - i keep changes minimal, howe...

Poor gui editor is really forgotten by everyone so i added some convenient things to it: Widened gui editor window - all tabs are visible on startup Element tree updates when loading from xml Element names are displayed in the tree Element names and IDs (if they are up to 4 numbers long) are aligned...

oh its double precision only on outter layer and graphics api gets floats still?

that would be nice. ofc if it is optional, like in ogre.

Yesterday i saw video about euphoria middleware: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKLaMN9dnjQ
Immediately thought of SmartBody. Is anything like this planned/considered?

heads up - CppSharp is releasing compiled binaries now too. With latest version i could build irrlicht bindings already, however cpp part (exposing inline functions) does not compile so i did not test actual bindings. Produces badass-looking .cs wrapper code though.
