Irrlicht Engine

Hello there, I've been trying to do collision tests on a tiles attached to the SceneManager. I just migrated the tiles from square tiles to isometric tiles. However the bounding boxes for these tiles still resemble the bounding boxes for square ones. I'm not exactly sure about this but even with Tri...

Hey guys, I'm new to shaders and am having a little issue with my own shader. What I'm trying to do is enable alpha transparency and If I remember correctly alpha transparency is a render state that needs to be set with the rendering API. (which kind of throws me off seeing as there only seems to be...

Alright I found the IVideoDriver->queryFeature function, which solves A. (I'm surprised I missed that.)
Now, if what is displayed on MSDN in SM const reg mins is the same across API's. Then I've solved B.

Is there a few functions burried in the API that allow
A) Querying the current or maximum shader model available
B) Determining the maximum amount of registers for both vertex and pixel shaders given a current Shader Model.

Thanks.

I've been recently been having problems getting this going. Basically what I'm trying to do is take a 3d point with the camera applied and transform that point to screen space. I'm going to use this for calculating an offset for drawn screen space sprites on an isometric grid (2.5d). From the things...

Amazing!
I'm going to have to thank you again for your quick response Emil_halim.

Yeah, I tinkered around with the engine a little bit and got the desired effect I was looking for. Thanks!

First, you don't have to sound defensive about the topic. I was just asking about the process and if it were possible. Recompiling the library isn't a hassle, just pinpointing where the changes need to be made takes a little longer. Am I to assume that all other classes in Irrlicht use CFileSystem::...

Hmmm. Here's my dilema. The order in which the files are to be loaded depend on the mod default.zip default/ <modname>.zip <modname>/ So each consecutive add replace files that previously exist in the file archive. However say I add each of these in this order, if I try and find one of those texture...

I've been fooling around with this for a while trying to get it all to work but nothing seems to work. How does the ordering and overlapping of files within archives work? Say I add a folder and I add a zip file, both of these have the same file inside, different data. Does it choose the last loaded...

Yeah. I was just planning on using boost regex and stripping any occurance of (.[^.]*[^/]*) (or something to that effect).

I was just kind of hoping irrlicht could simplify it for me.

Before I start my project I've been trying to set a structure up for the application where the file system will only allow access to loading files from "data/<modname>.zip" and "/data/<modname>". However doing a few routine tests I've found that if I set the working directory to ...

I'm new to irrlicht so I've been looking through the forums and the API to find a good way to do this. Me and my friend are designing a birds-eye view pen and pencil RTS. Before using irrlicht I used my own written engine, there is nothing wrong with it but this time around I'm going to need a lot m...
