Irrlicht Engine

hi,

i am new at the irrlicht scene and just have a problem. I have some years programm experience in Basic and already some experience in C++. But with irrlicht i am a total noob.
Sorry for the nothing-saying title but it's hard to explain your Problem with just a few words ;).

Here we go:

Whoa thanks a lot! Fastest reply ever! That's just what I was looking for!

Hello everyone... Is there a way to get a GUIElement (e.g. a button) previously stored inside the Enviroment with env->addButton(etcetc); without having it saved inside a button object? Just by passing the ID of the said button to the IGUIEnvironment.

something like button=env->getElement(ID);??

After posting this topic, and before reading your replies, I solved this problem myself.. Also I read that Gamestate on gameDev and I realized I did something which is similar to what is explained there.. only it's called GameScene instead of Gamestate... anyways my solution is that every GameScene ...

Hello everybody, how do I create and use an IGUIEnvironment without having to get it from the IrrlichtDriver? I want to make different environments for my different scenes which, at certain points, will change the environments loading a different one depending on the scene I'm at.. I can't find a ...

by including irrXML.h instead of irrlicht.h right?

I stopped reading halfway but I'm pretty sure Perfect World has a similar "kingdom" system and there's another MMORPG I played that has 3 kingdoms with the "champion" of the current kingdom in charge of everything etc etc etc


and the merchant system is in every mmorpg I've ever played...

I don't know about programmatically, i'm sure there's something in the windows API that will allow you to see how much memory is free.

But you could just look at the task manager and see if the memory usage for your app keeps on rising when it shouldn't or is just generally high.

An interesting ...

Those social networking sites really annoy me. I have to have a facebook so I get invited to parties by people who I haven't seen in years, but the bastards who run them are collecting data on me and selling to the highest bidder.
The future of the internet in anonymity, everyone will have a ...

I agree with JP, I like the current logo

Im finally ready to start the coding for my MMO


But where to start?

I really dont know what to start on first.

I've always loved writing an MMO myself, and that was before the "mmo-spree" that we're getting these days, since I was 14 (I'm almost 18 now) I've started thinking about it, not ...

I must apologize for my newbiness here now.. :oops:
I took a whole day of lurking in the API and I honestly didn't notice stringc and stringw before in Irrlicht..

I was basically using c8* as a string but since now I've found stringc and stringw, I'm sticking to them! Sorry for this stupid thread ...

hybrid wrote:Better use the string classes core::Stringc and core::Stringw for these purposes. Otherwise you have to cope with all the memory allocation stuff like in plain C.

ehm? Where do I find those? They are in Irrlicht?

can you post an example code please?

Do you want to copy the string/data or do you only want to save the pointer?

In first case you can use some C-functions like strncpy or sprintf:

const char* source = "Hello World";
c8* dest = new c8[100];
strncpy(dest, source, strlen(source)); // way 1
sprintf(dest, "%s", source); // way 2

Hello everyone, I have a little minor problem...

I have gotten from an XML file an attribute as a const char* using the XMLFile->getAttributeValue("attribute_name") and I want to save it into a c8* variable (because that's what I use in my program). How can I convert it? I tried casting it but the ...
