Irrlicht Engine

i just did a quick search of the forums and found this.
this will supposably hide the console window. you just need to put it just before your main()

*note i havent tested it, its just what i have seen*

ah sweet i knew it would be something straight forward.

thanks vitek.

you can do it if you use the True Type font addon (i believe), that ive seen floating around on the forums. Just try searching for it.

Btw True Type Fonts which are resizable will ultimately require more resources to use than the image counterparts. I believe that images are used because they are ...

Hi all,

May sound like a fairly dumb question but i was wondering if there was a way to re-initialize an AnimatedMeshSceneNode so i could change the mesh that it has.

For example.

I have 3 different type of weapons that the player can pick up. Each of these are their own .x files, however i want ...

it means the dll that you have in the programs directory doesnt match the one for irrlicht 1.3

simply copy the dll from the irrlicht/bin dir to your directory then run your program again.

This sounds really cool, i haven't tested it yet but i will soon and let you know how i find it.

Just recently i have been programming using Irrlicht and Newton and the amount to work to make the two work together nicely is painful sometimes but hopefully if we can just add an animator it will ...

Thanks for that link..
its the implementation that i found while searching the forums and works quite nicely.

ok cool thanks for your input.

I was leaning towards that anyway as i have read that other people have had problems trying to instansiate the CTimer class.

Nah, i am just using the CTimer.h that is in the Irrlicht source dir.

Do i need to make my own version of it (.cpp) or can i just use that and instansiate it?

Also i tried your idea and i still get all the unresolved externals.

Hi all

Been trying to implement a timer into my game, but i want to be able to stop and start it at will rather than using the device time. So i have tried to use the CTimer class.

Heres my code for it


CTimer timer;
CTimer.setTimer(0);
CTimer.start();
...
...


However when i do it this way i ...

Yeah, i checked out the node data that is stored within thee newton body and found that the relative Scale values were identical. So i'm not sure whats wrong..

When i load the terrain height map i automatically scale it in the constructor then irrNewt gets the physics data from the created node.



world_node = smgr->addTerrainSceneNode("media/level1.png",0,-1,vector3df(0,0,0),vector3df(0,0,0),vector3df(10, 1.0f, 10),SColor(255,255,255,255),5,ETPS_17,0 ...

i'm having the same problems too. Is there anyone who knows why this is happening cause its confusing the hell out of me.

you need to convert the variables into a stringw to be able to display them.

for example if i wanted to display the coordinates in the static text box

vector3df pos = camera->getPosition();
stringw testString = stringw("Position X:") + stringw(pos.X)+stringw("Position Y:") + stringw(pos.Y)+stringw ...

Hi all

I'm currently working on a project where we have a tank driving across a terrain scene node. We are using IrrNewt physics wrapper for Newton.
However we are experiencing problems with our terrain scene node where the tank will drive straight through the rendered terrain. We have created ...
