Irrlicht Engine

just tried it out, works like a dream! thanks

IMetaTriangleSelector is just what I was looking for, thanks vitek! i'll have a go at it.

Right now all I need is collision detection, so Newtons a bit overkill for my purposes, but thanks for the advice roxaz.

I've had a look through the forums and can't seem to find an answer to this question so thought I'd create a new post.

Basically I have a basic level stored in a .pk3 file, but I want to be able to add meshscenenodes dynamically to it, for example so I can create a new random maze each time the ...

ps. the reason I included the robot->process() function twice (once inside and once outside the rendering loop) is because some of the routines draw lines i.e. when the robot spots an object it draws a line to it to indicate it has found it.

apologies, I'll try and be a bit more explicit.

The jump occurs when I Alt-Tab back and forth between the window, and likewise when I minimise and then maximise. Both have the same effect as far as I'm aware.

My main rendering loop looks like...


while(device->run())
{

//render only when ...

ok, been working on this a bit for a while... It all seems to work fine apart from when I try and switch back to the screen after leaving it running for a few seconds. My robot jumps at this point, and usually thows an error because of this.

I suspect this is something to do with the translation ...

thats great, thanks! I haven't looked into multiple robots yet, but your idea would be useful once/if I get to that stage

I'm using Irrlicht to create a virtual world for testing AI algorithms, such as teaching a robot to walk around a maze picking up objects and avoiding walls/obstacles.

The rendering process is quite CPU intensive, but not necessary for the robots behaviour, just so I can see what it's doing ...

just found the solution. My irrlicht installation had an older copy of the irrKlang.dll file, and this was being called in preference to the newer one I'd downloaded. I removed the older dll and hey presto works fine! feel like a bit of a dummy for not realising it sooner but oh well... thanks for ...

thanks for thr quick response hybrid. Both my lib and bin paths point to the win32-visualstudio files, I tried removing the gcc files in case too see what would happen, same error ...

I've just installed irrKlang to give my irrlicht programs some audio capabilities. However when I try and compile and run the helloworld example, it compiles fine but I get the following errors when I try and run the executable:
