Irrlicht Engine

deprecated, thanks for your reply.
The problem isn't finding the collision (I used getSceneNodeFromCameraBB for that, too), but to restrict the transparent/wireframe look to the bits that are actually in the way.
As I said, I don't want the whole big .bsp map to go transparent, just because I need ...

As I said the terrain code still needs porting to irrlicht. If you want to port it, pm me and I give you the sourcecode. Otherwise, if people want it, I'll release the source once I got around to port it myself.

Hi,

this is about 3rd person cameras, once again. I've read about 200 posts about that issue on this board, but didn't find something solving my problem, so please actually read this before flaming me ;)

I've created several 3rd person cameras for my program, but all of them have some sort of a ...

Guest: This is not based on the TerrainMesh, I'm using a Scene Node I wrote myself for the library I used to be using (plib). Will have to start porting that bit soon.

gfxstyler: The FPS isn't too bad, actually. When there aren't any other entities on the screen, it's pretty smooth (don't have an ...

Sorry, that was me. Not logged in ...

I've solved the problem, at least partially:

Changing
colmgr->getRayFromScreenCoordinates(Cursor_Position,camera);
to
colmgr->getRayFromScreenCoordinates(Cursor_Position);
does the job. I don't understand, why, though. How can my camera be different from ...

Got a couple of screenshots up of the current (deprechated) version.

The player (penguin will eventually be replaced :P) somewhere in the landscape. Yes I know, it's a little bit yellow and boring, but it's working.

This time the player is swimming ...

Sorry guys, I was away rather suddenly for a couple of weeks, didn't manage to post a notice.
This project isn't dead yet, as I'm back now, and I'll start working on it from tomorrow onwards. If any of you are still around who wanted to participate, let me know ASAP, and I'll keep you posted about ...

Thanks,

that seems to be a reasonable approach. I'll probably have to have a slightly over-engineered class for default objects, though. Thinking about using an array of booleans to give possible options to an object. This would look like this:

class StaticObject : public BaseObject

bool eat ...

Considering some of the basic design decisions for my overly ambitious game project, this is one of the things I can't really seem to make my mind up about: For the entity factory (i.e. the module where objects, creatures and players are stored and characterised), is it better to hard code them or ...

Harry_Mystic: About the "adventures will only happen once": I'm not planning to have lots of hard-coded adventures in the game, I was more thinking of 'dynamic quests', if you so want. An example for that would be, that players can abduct NPC's. And if some people from my town come into your castle ...

Just a quick edit, added screenshots of the last version (techdemo basically) in a reply on page2 of this thread.

Hi,

I realise that most of you (the programmers out here) will probably reply to this with one of those "forget it, mmorpg's never work out" messages. So to clarify this, before I ...
