Irrlicht Engine

Actually I just found out a pretty weird but simple way to do it: "path" gives the full path of the exe file.
Thanks for the suggestions.

That's okay, I might just make a "Set working directory" option that the user has to manually set.

Unless anyone has a better solution.

I have to, that's the only valid style of entry point for a .NET program.

Hm it doesn't work. The args array is empty unless I open a file. If I open a file, the only argument is the path of the file that I am opening, not the .EXE.

I am using CLR, if that makes a difference:

EDIT: the solution could be to use the arguments passed to function main: int main(int argc, char** argv){ // argv[0] holds the name of the exe incl. path printf("%s\n",argv[0]); // argv[1] holds the name of the assosiated file incl. path if(argc > 1) printf("%s\n",argv[0]); sys...

the problem he is having is this: he has assosiated a map/mesh or what ever extension with his program... let's say the program is "C:\programs\myProg\theProg.exe" and the map/mesh is "D:\map\data\theMap.3ds"... now, if he double klicks the map/mesh then the program will start, ...

Actually, the only time the working directory is equal to the folder of the .exe file is when I open the .exe file directly (through Windows Explorer). I'm making a map editor, and when I try to directly open a map file (through Windows Explorer) with my program, the working directory becomes the di...

I am working on my game from different computers occasionally. How can I change my working directory to something relative to my project folder, not the whole computer? For example, in Computer A my working directory is: "C:\ComputerAFiles\MyProject\" In Computer B, my working directory is...

I searched the forums a bit but couldn't find a definitive answer. How can I use or implement animation tweening so that there is a smooth transition between my animations? If I tell sydney.md2 to change from EMAT_STAND to EMAT_RUN there is an ugly jump without a subtle transition. How can I smooth ...

This bug is still in 1.4.2; I never added a patch for it. I'm having trouble getting everything set up. Can someone add a patch for this for me? Thanks.

The grid node works great! It'd be even better if it used drawVertexPrimitiveList, as hybrid suggested, but it runs good enough already. The lines farther away clump up a lot and it's just a big gray blob, so a nice option to have would be to have the lines farther spread out as they get farther fro...

Is it bad practice for me to have the video driver draw 4000 3D Lines every iteration of rendering in a big for-loop? Is that actually as computationally expensive as it sounds? If so, is there a better way? These lines never change position. They are always in the same spot (it's just a big grid). ...

Yeah I think I will

Now I just gotta figure out how to make Irrlicht input not interfere with winform input.

Gah XNA doesn't work with Visual Studio 2008. Whaaat.

Well, they both have their uses. C++ is great for low level stuff like the graphics engines themselves. But to make the game itself, C# is just so much more productive. If you view both languages strictly from a technical standpoint, then C++ may perform better. But if you take into account developm...
