Irrlicht Engine

... OR "save data to file" library.
Hi! I created a small library to write and read binary data to/from files.
The structure of the file format is similar to IFF . The data is organized in blocks and can have unlimited number of subblocks. As an advanced feature the data within a block can be ...

Sounds interesting. Wanted to code something interesting for the PSP for some time already, so I would give it a try (if you're interested PM me).

I noticed the same a while ago. The problem is that the direct3d driver doesn't use SMaterial's DiffuseColor but only the vertex color. I guess them should be multiplied but it does not happen. Probably some render states are incorrect or missing. Would be great if that could be fixed.

This one's a 'might-work' DX8 Driver version of the DepthResizer. It compiled but I could not fully test it due to some missing DX8 libs. I hope someone can confirm its functionality.

CD3D8DepthResizer:
// Depth Buffer Resizer
// (C) by Viktor W.
// vi-wer.de.tl
// For use with the Irrlicht ...

It's been some time but now here's an update. This time I made a class that can be added to any Irrlicht version in 3 steps. Copy the files into the source directory and follow the instructions in CD3D9DepthResizer.h .
This one's only for DirectX9. I could have made one for DirectX8 too but I don't ...

Good news. I've made another Blender tutorial .
This time it's a lightmap tutorial using Blenders Radiosity. Which lets you use lights of any form and not only point or spot. Of course the quality of the map is not bad too.
The link is in the first post.

This one is an OS X Intel build for Tiger and Leopard. If you need a PPC build use the Daily Automated Built from graphicall.org.

Here'sa good one for windows. It's an experimental build but it (probably) has everything there's available for blender. It's also the following build of the one I used for the tutorial.

I've made a short tutorial on normal map generation with blender. Just follow this link to go to the page where it's located.

EDIT:
I've added another blender tutorial: lightmap with radiosty.

:!: Ok, forget everything from before. Simple things are still the best:
//! Destructor.
virtual ~IReferenceCounted()
{
// reference counted object destroyed improperly
if( ReferenceCounter > 1 )
{
printf("warning: incorrect destruction of IReferenceCounted object, used by %i\n ...

I think your 2nd suggestion about creating a reference counted object with a default value of 0 would be a nice pointe to start. As far I know all objects in Irrlicht which might need a reference count are created with createSomething, addSomething or getSomething . So it should not be a big deal to ...

Thanks for the code but actually I had another idea how to solve this: not use Irrlicht at all (that should work for sure).
Just kindding :D
I see threre is no way to solve this without making even more trouble.
My own idea was to make an intelligent reference class which knows what to do by ...

Well, the application still would crash but the user would get a warning that a reference counted object has not been destroyed properly, that's what I thought.

How about a warning that is logged from the destructor if the ReferenceCounter is not 0 telling the object might have been removed incorrect? At least for the debug version. Or is there something like this already implemented?

Yeah, right. I remembered that. But if there's no way to solve this maybe a warning comment in the destructor/doc that tells to use remove() instead of delete could be added.
