Irrlicht Engine

JP Thanks for your response. I had a few beers and got cracking on the problem and ended up with much what you said. For those who where wondering this is my code. (Selector is just an extension of scene node, position is where its at) if(selector == NULL){ selector = new Selector(mysmgr->getRootSce...

Thanks, this code is a great resource

I'm trying intersect a line with a plane. The line is the camera position to the mouse position, and to the plane is the where X and Z equal 0. The result is a 3d position The desired effect would be the user to drag over units in a 3d space and form a square to where the mouse is on the plane in 3d...

Rogerborg: you where right, the error was between keyboard and chair. In another part of my program I had this: #pragma pack(1) struct MAPMATRIX{ unsigned int width; unsigned int height; unsigned short cellsize; }; The pragma pack caused the protected variables order in the Example class to be chang...

I have some problems assigning one string to another. The string is in it's a custom namespace, and is private: namespace ExampleNameSpace{ class Example { public: Example (); ~Example (); // problem is here: void setName(core::string<char> str) { name = str; }; core::string<char> getName() {return ...

Surfing a while I found a way to do it. I'm still hammering out some of the bugs, but it works /** createMapPreview - builds chmapPreview * texture from the Scolor inTile class * * @return void nothing */ void Map::createMapPreview(){ // name of the map char chmapPreview[11] = "mapPreview"...

I have a large map (of a Tile class), and I want to make a 'map preview'. So far I have void Map::createMapPreview(){ char chmapPreview[20]; mapPreview = driver->addTexture(core::dimension2d<s32> (256,256), chmapPreview, video::ECF_A1R5G5B5); } Which is a no-brainer, but how would I set the individu...

I personally just use nero wave editor to crop & edit sounds. Its small and handy (v6 anyway). Also use 3ds max7 and photoshop.

On another note I read about a sound making program (such as arcade beeps, not beats or loops) that would be really handy for making games. Anyone know what its called?

I found the problem, it was that mesh was undefined in some cases. so if(NULL != mesh){ //what state you are in if(state != tmpstate){ switch (state){ case 0://idle mesh->setFrameLoop(myType->idle_start, myType->idle_end); tmpstate = 0; break; case 1://walking mesh->setFrameLoop(myType->walk_start, ...

Thanks for your reply trivtn.

Using a boolean to set the frame loop would mean i could only set it once, and i want to change it twice

I have a scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode*. I want to change its animation according to what state it's in

i can call mesh->setFrameLoop() just after it has loaded, but if I call it at render time it gets an "access violation" and crashes

any ideas why?

Start with an example and build on it.

The code might not be so clean to a beginner, but understanding it will give a real foot in the door.

one thing I didn't like about the Irrlicht examples is that none of them show how to make classes in c++. If you are to make a large game it's essential.

A better way would be to resize your image. Crop it to be a multiple of 2^X. It will then display correctly in Dx8, openGL etc. multiples of 2^X are sizes like: 16 32 64 128 512 1024 2048 and so on. You can mix them to, like 64x512. I changed my game to use these sizes and it ran perfectly on all dr...

MD2 tutorial done.

Please tell me if I have any spelling mistakes/ simple errors or if I haven't elaborated enough on a subject (I left out a lot as there are tutorials else where)[/url]
