Irrlicht Engine

Looks like a nice challenge, I'll keep an eye on this.

Looks great, nice job. =)

That looks really nice! Kudos. =)

Completed! 5 levels and 3 bosses. Have fun!

I've not tried the SVN version, sorry. It's 1.3.1 that has the issue.

I get that message on the console window when running my game on Vista.

It happens to some of my textures, not all of them. Anyone knows why?

You should be able to use draw2DImage that takes a source rect and a dest rect. The source rect would be (0, 0, 640, 480) and the dest rect would be the viewport rect, which would the same.

That's how to draw the texture on screen. But since the texture is created with a size of 1024x512 ...

Hmm, I did not check the text, why would one create text in an image?
Anyway, you should not give the dimensions of your current image, but of the target image. The current dimensions are known from the image you call the method on. So set 1024 and 512 as parmeters. Also the pitch should be the one ...

I've tried doing this like this:


paused_image = irrDriver->createScreenShot();
paused_texture = irrDriver->addTexture(dimension2d<s32>(1024,512), "screenshot", ECF_A8R8G8B8);
const dimension2d<s32> sz = paused_image->getDimension();
paused_image->copyToScaling(paused_texture->lock(), sz.Width, sz ...

I'm not sure about how to do it. Could you elaborate a little, please?

Currently, my code is:


//at startup
IImage* paused_image;
ITexture* paused_texture;
...
//when you press the pause button
paused = true;
paused_image = irrDriver->createScreenShot();
paused_texture = irrDriver->addTexture ...

At the api I find:


virtual void copyToScaling (IImage *target)=0
copies the image into the target, scaling the image to fit

virtual void copyToScaling (void *target, s32 width, s32 height, ECOLOR_FORMAT format=ECF_A8R8G8B8, u32 pitch=0)=0
copies the image into the target, scaling the image ...

Hm... any way I could possibly overcome this problem?

So I create an IImage* using "createScreenShot ()".

Convert it to ITexture* using: "addTexture(const c8 * name, IImage* image)"

Draw it on screen using draw2DImage, but it doesn't look that good. It's a bit "distorted", like if some pixels were moved down or something. My game's running on 640x480 ...

@Virion & SiriusCG: Thanks! =)

@Wyszo: Thanks for the constructive criticism. =)
Particle effects never looked well on static screenshots. =P
I think you'll like it better when you see it in the next release, in motion. ^_^
About the models, christianclavet is doing an excellent job, especially ...

Here you get a new screenshot. It's a boss (ships are actually coming out of it). Its healthbar is temporary.

You can see the new HUD system, a new skybox, new player and ship models, a boss model, a health powerup (red)... and some other things ...
