Irrlicht Engine

Thanks for your replies -- I was hoping to not have to check every time whether the screen has been resized (as bitplane said), but I guess it's not terribly inefficient.

I know that Irrlicht can create resizable windows, but I need to resize viewports when the window is resized. Is there an event that I can catch which will give me the new dimentions of the window after it has been resized?

Thanks.

I only have command line access to a Mac (via ssh)... is there no way to compile Irrlicht projects for Mac using the command line?

Do the Irrlicht examples work out-of-the-box for you on a Mac?

After looking around a bit, I found that I had to edit "LDFLAGS" like this:

LDFLAGS = -dylib_file /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A ...

My program compiles and runs fine in Mac OS X, but my event receiver can't catch events from the keyboard. If the program was launched from a terminal, the terminal catches my keystrokes. If I don't launch it using a terminal (i.e., just double-clicking in Finder), the keystrokes are caught by ...

Thanks... I was looking under IVideoDriver docs for how to create a new scene manager.

It works... thanks!

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum... I'm not sure if this is an advanced topic... or if I'm just being n00b ;)

I know how to create a split screen between two cameras viewing different parts of the same "scene". However, I have several different worlds that I'd like the user to view ...

Thanks, vitek!

I created a cylinder using Blender and imported it (it was easier than I thought!)

I had thought that for something as simple as a cylinder I wouldn't need a "custom" scene node... but, oh well

Thanks for your help .

I'm trying to create a cylinder scene node... but I don't see any sort of "addCylinderSceneNode" method -- is there any way to add a cylinder without having to create my own custom scene node?

I looked into custom scene nodes, and I really don't want to dive into specifying all the triangles myself ...

I'm planning on making my project open source -- however, I doubt that my users will be willing to compile and install Irrlicht so that they can compile a binary for me. If someone already has Irrlicht installed, it would be simpler to ask them to compile a binary.

If SourceForge still had a ...

Hi, Sparky. Thanks for your input -- I realize that this isn't the silver bullet for cross-platform pains, but I think it could help. If you were really ambitious, you could get emulators for Mac or 64-bit... but if someone else already has Irrlicht installed on the system you want to compile for ...

I've started making a project in Irrlicht, and am beginning to think about how I'm going to distribute it. I realize that there's a lot of different operating systems out there, and I can never compile binaries for all of them.

I'm sure that many other people here have encountered the same problem ...

Thanks! Calling the updateAbsolutePosition does the trick. I had thought that I was setting the absolute position...

It works great now .

When I move the camera, I use these commands:

camera->setTarget(core::vector3df(1,2,3));
camera->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,0,0));

The camera's target updates just as it should. However, y and z components are off by about 0.5. I'm focusing on some very small objects (of size 0.06 and 0.017 ...
