Irrlicht Engine

worked fine on my machine (Athlon XP 1600+, 512 RAM, Geforce 4 MX 460)

Nice work!

The 1st Way should work, but you have to ensure that you're rendering the Cursor after the GUI-Elements...

Have you tried it with untextured Polys?
Don't know if that works...

You could set the gravitation to 0 (zero)

The Screenshots really look nice. But what is that "wooden" cube at two of them??

He wrote he uses 0.4.0, not 0.4.1.
Maybe you fixed the Bug already, niko.

The demo looks not bad, but maybe you should try to disable the Player to fly out of view...

And now they are talking about posting the best posts in the German Forum here, also (only translated...)

After searching it for hours, I just realised Niko didn't include the "Comma"-Key into his Events.
Actually, I Use the Windows-Virtual-Key, but I really would like to see it included in Irrlicht(e.g. for Platform Independence)
The Keycode in Windows is: BC Hex and 188 Decimal.

Acually, I try to make use of LUA, but XML-Scripting would be very nice, too

You Said, that you think that the engine interpretes "\f" as an Escape-Sequence. That right, but it is interpreted that way by C++...

Try

device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("archive.zip",true,false);
gui::IGUIFont* font = guienv->getFont("fonts/fonthaettenschweiler.bmp");

... you "simply" have to set the color of the Button-Texts, e.g.

guienv = device->getGUIEnvironment();
IGUISkin* skin = guienv->getSkin();
IGUIFont* font = guienv->getFont("../../media/fontnwn.bmp");
if (font)
skin->setFont(font);
skin->setColor(gui::EGDC_BUTTON_TEXT, video::SColor(0,255,255 ...

I saw the Problem too.
I also saw that with some Fonts (I made myself by using the Font-tool) the engine is cutting the Font-Texture 1 or 2 lines of Pixels too deep.

That will work, but only if you included the .cpp files into your Project

And you only declare(or is it define??) the function in the header...

you could write a header file with all the functions declared as extern e.g.
