Irrlicht Engine

I'm also new to Irrlicht, but I had some problems with textures myself: the textures couldn't load if they were in an other directory than the one the mesh is in. Also, if I made a level or mesh and I added textures, I use the textures from the same directory I wanted to store the mesh. And also som...

I've tried the metaTriangleSelector the best I could (I'm a dissaster when it comes to programming) but he gives two errors: on line 60 and 75: "invalid conversion from 'irr::scene::ITriangleSelector*' to 'irr::scene::IMetaTriangleSelector*'... So I have somehow te replace metaTriangleSelector?...

Thanks all works fine now

I've heard that there's only a limited polygon maximum on each mesh so I tried a code (actually the collision tutorial) that loads two meshes. The meshes are no problem and they load, but one of them has no collision, I just fall through. I've entered the code, the land2.obj file is the one who has ...

I tried also some other texture formats and all the results are the same: transparant (even with the ones from Irrlicht).

So how do you set them to solid?

I think I found the problem, it's the TGA texture, so I should take some other texture files.

The texture is a TGA one (a default land texture from Morrowind, not that that matters), I've also placed the texture in the same directory.

It's not that they're completly transparant: I can see the textures of the wall behind the wall I currently look at.

Line works fine now, and I got light, wich reveals a new issue: the level is transparant...

I don't see anything in the code that could make it transparant (and if there was some line: the quake map should be also transparant wich is not...), and I also checked the normals and textures.

Again a noob question where do I need to put that line?, I tried beneath "node->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,0,0));" but it doens't compile.

About the .irr file I indeed didn't use that function (tutorial 15).

Well the problem was a LOT simpler than a wrong origin, I only needed to MOVE a bit

I still need to find a way to add light...

I exported the mesh to IrrEdit and placed a light but when I tried to run the map.irr file it says it does not support that file... O.o

Problem solved: got the mesh on screen.

It's only covered in black so I'll need to add some lights (read something about in other topics), now I only need to try collisions.

By the way: thanks a lot

Allright that clears one problem

But I still get an empty screen, no mesh.

(Sorry, first time I tried to enter a code) I think this is the part where I need to "correct" something: scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/map.obj"); scene::ISceneNode* node = 0; if (mesh) node = smgr->addOctTreeSceneNode(mesh->getMesh(0)); But I have no id...

I think this is the part where I need to "correct" something: [ scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/map.obj"); scene::ISceneNode* node = 0; if (mesh) node = smgr->addOctTreeSceneNode(mesh->getMesh(0));] But I have no idea what I need to do with the OctTree, Sc...

Allright found one error: a wrong name... (stupid mistake), but now I've got a new one... When it runs it says:

Loaded mesh.: ../../media/map.obj
Needed 3ms to create OctTree SceneNode.(35 nodes, 782 polys)

For what stands that OctTree?
