Irrlicht Engine

What does 'strip the library' mean?

Thanks for your explanations.

I managed to compile the TerrainRendering Tutorial for Windows. This was actually quiet
easy, i just had to specifie the compiler to use in the Makefile: all_win32: CXX = i586-mingw32msvc-g++
Then i run the resulting executible with wine and made a very interesting ...

I would like to compile my game for Windows, and i would like to do that from a linux host (cross compiling). Thus, i installed MinGW. A first hello Windows test worked fine :D

Now i want to compile one of the irrlicht tutorials, before bothering to compile my game.
I stumbled over the libraries ...

hm.. first i decided to just accept your explanations. But then i tested another thing:

I have this array with some memory allocated, but not initialized. Now i initialize the elements
by hand in a for loop with the direct access operator [].

After that, the size is still 0.

In my opinion, an ...

I made a simple test case, that did not reproduce the bug i thought i discovered.

Yesterday, when i stumbled over this problem, i just printed out the type of the returned
SceneNode, which was a funny big number. I suspected it just wasn't initialized.

Today i had a closer look at the type enum ...

Allright, i'll do that tomorrow.

The parameter to getSceneNodeFromRayBB is only the ray, the ID i assigned to the Terrain is 1000.

When a ray collides with Terrain, the SceneNode given back by ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeFromRayBB
seems not to return the TerrainSceneNode: its ID is always -1, no matter what value i
assign to the Terrain as its ID.

I printed out the memory address of the SceneNode, which didn't match ...

That didn't help.
It just leads to another segfault, if i call ps->setParent(0) before adding the
DeleteAnimator. If i add the Animator first, i doesn't crash,
but the tail still vanishes immediately.

This looks all pretty strange to me...

A rocket in my game is a billboard with a ParticleSystem attached to it (as a child). When
i hit something, the billboard is removed, and so was the ParticleSystem, thus, the tail
the rocket produced vanished immediately. Now i want to keep the tail another second or so.

Well, i didn't succeded ...

Well, i will check for those, that might be affected.
My question was, if i can exclude SceneNodes from distance testing that are way out of
range somehow, and if irrlicht offers some facilities to do so efficiently.

Currently, there aren't so many SceneNodes in my game, so testing them all is ...

Ok, i just check the distance for all SceneNodes in the Scene. I thought that would be
foolish and another way would be preferable.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

But i still need that initial list of SceneNodes in range. Otherwise i would have to check the
distance to all SceneNodes in the Scene, which does not scale good: with lots af SceneNodes
this would take too long.

I would like an opponent to take damage when i fired a rocket on him, that did not actually
hit him, but hit the ground close to him.

Thus i would like to have a list of all ISceneNodes in some sphere. I would then calculate for
all these SceneNodes there distance to the impact and apply damage ...

hm.. in my opinion the semantics of array.size() is to return the amount of merory that
has been allocated for the specified type, not the number of elements that have been
pushed into the array.

This is the semantic for std::vector.size(), and think this handled similar in Java.

Anyway, i think ...
