Irrlicht Engine

Hi Guys,

Well, I started in Irrlicht about 4 months ago and wrote a couple 2D kids games without much trouble. I decided about 1 montn ago, I would try Ogre.

Well, it took me a week to get a 2D pic displayed and I blew two more weeks or so trying to get OpenGUI to work, which I never did.

Ogre ...

Fixed.

I should of clued into the fact that 800 X 600 is 480 thousand pixels and 1200 X 1000 is 1200 thousand pixels. Of course the while loops will run at different rates.

I used bitplane's example

Here is my code:


#define SPEED 0.3

int last_time = timer->getRealTime();

while loop {

int ...

No, that's not stupid.

However, it's also not the solution. I thought of that too. It's real obvious that its slower, but its not an illusion. I don't mean that as a smart remark.

thanks anyways.

Hi Guys,

I have a rectangle moving across the screen, left to right. Nothing fancy.

When I create my device with a size of 800 X 600 for the window, my rectangle moves across the screen at a reasonable rate.

When I create the device with a size of 1200 X 1000, the rectangle moves across the ...

v.Y (probably a y-axis cordinate) is getting incremented by the result of:

event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_KEY_W ? 2.0f : -2.0f;

This says, if InputKey equals W, increment by 2.0, if not increment by
-2.0. The f on the 2.0 just stands for a floating point number.

Hope this helps.

Yep, it was a dimemsion problem.

When I resized the image to 512 X 128 and displayed it again, it looks perfect.

thanks for the quick response.

I think that one took 5 minutes to get an answer. Wow!

thanks again

Hi Guys,

I'm putting an image in 2d at the top of a Irrlicht device window. Here is where I create the device:

video::E_DRIVER_TYPE driverType = video::EDT_DIRECT3D9;

device = createDevice(driverType, core::dimension2d<s32>(800, 600));

I'm using virtual IGUIImage* irr::gui::IGUIEnvironment ...

Thanks

getSelected() did the trick!!

Hi Guys,

I have a listbox event coming in. I'm getting separate events for separate listboxes. All is good.

Question:

How do I tell which item in the listbox has been selected? For example, If I have a listbox with "Yes" and "No" items and I select "Yes" to get the event, How do I know this event ...

Thanks niko,

That's exactly what the problem was. It's working fine now.

thanks again

Here is my error in Visual Studio 2005

Unknown wave header in file
Could not open audio stream for sound file: ../sounds/ophelia.mp3

When I run the 3dsound tutorial, the ophelia.mp3 file plays fine. However, when I put it into my code, I get the above error. BTW, my code plays back a .wav file ...

Thanks Travis,

I added a line to the device code as you said and now I have minimizing windows.

thanks

Kevin

This seems like a bit of a stretch for something so basic, but I will give it a try...

Call me crazy, bit I didn't think I was going to have to change the baseline to minimize a window...

thanks

Kevin

Hi Guys,

I see the engine has a setResizeable method for Irrlicht windows. Is there a similar method for minimizing windows? I've noticed that when I use the setResizeable, the minimize functionality is shown but grayed out.

I want full windows functionality.

thanks

I updated to the latest driver (14.17) for the 82865G Graphics controller which is what I'm running...don't laugh.

Still, she goes down.

I guess it's time to upgrade. I was warned about my graphics previously.

thanks
