Irrlicht Engine

Well if the problem is too complicated, let me ask another question. I just want to know what are the steps to create and export a map from 3DS Max for use with Irrlicht?

The solution is to reinstall Windows or install a fresh copy of Windows :wink:
I had a similar error with DirectX driver, the system hangs and all that I can do is hit Reset button. The problem started to happen since I upgrade my VGA card from FX5200 to 7300GT. But when I reinstall Windows, the ...

This may be a stupid question, but I'm having trouble exporting map from 3DS Max.
My friend has created a map, he exported it to .3ds and sent to me. When I try to load the map to my program (using irrlicht) it displays nothing.

Even when he sends me the .max file, I opened and export the file to ...

I forgot to tell that the dimensions are not changed, 2 images that I uploaded are just parts of the picture :oops: The problem is the image is 24-bit but rendered like 16-bit.

@Hybrid: I use Software renderer. If I switch to OpenGL or D3D the image displays well without problem. But this is the ...

Thanks for your quick reply Let me try saving the picture in 32-bit mode

Edit: Well it doesn't even display the picture

I add a picture using this code:
device.GUIEnvironment.AddImage(device.VideoDriver.GetTexture("media/bg.png"), new Position2D(0, 0), false, null, -1, "");
and this is what I receive:

This is how the original picture looks like:

I'm using C#, in my winform I added some menus with shortcut keys (i.e. Ctrl + O for Open). I realize that when Irrlicht is not running (device.Run() is not yet called), menu shortcut works well, pressing Ctrl + O will show open dialog, but when device is running, the dialog doesn't show, all ...

Hi all,
I'm creating a map editor and is using AddCameraSceneNodeMaya method to add a camera, but I'm having trouble walking through the map with the mouse, it doesn't let me move forward/backward (or it is just me that don't know how to move properly??? )
I want to use arrow keys as well, is there ...

Yes you're right :wink:
I know there is no way to protect meshes from advanced peoples, I only find solution to protect my work from kiddies, who have basic knowledge and never care about licenses, they may modify my mesh and put their name into it :?
Create a new file format and password protect ...

Well that's ok, I'll try to find another solution
Now I'm working with a minimap and don't have any idea about this I'm thinking of a solution that reduces Z axis, only use X and Y, but it's still hard to do

I think this is the problem that most of us will think about.
We have made some meshes and we don't want somebody to import or modify them. Is there any way to protect meshes (.3ds, .x, etc. )?

Try replacing other alpha value than zero
Irrlicht.Video.Color colors = new Color(0,200,200,200);

Thanks Acki, I'll test it tomorrow
I saw in your website some GUI extensions, are these available to use for .NET?
I have a problem with IGUIStaticText control: When text is longer than the control dimensions, I can't see the rest because there is no scroll bar, how can I fix that?

Yeah :oops: Sometimes it display as white but I didn't take a screenshot :P

I have another question: Can I read from a file (text or xml) an array of waypoints, and use it to move camera (like the demo program does)? Is there any trouble converting string to float type?
To create this array, a ...

Wow thanks to all for your help, especially Acki for your code :twisted: I tried to load .dmf, .obj files successfully. The problem is I'm using C# and I did not call setMaterialFlag(), so the output is like this (console says that textures loaded successfully) :oops: what a shame :oops:
