Irrlicht Engine

This is in the includes folder, I checked the Irrlicht.dll in the source, and apart from errors when I try to build it, it never goes into the include folder to get anything. Unless... I am just missing what you are saying.

I got to testing this in 1.6 as I needed 6 textures in my Splat shader.

I changed IrrCompileConfig.h line 102 from this:

#define _IRR_MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES_ 4

to this:

#define _IRR_MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES_ 6

Here are my findings:

4: shaders appear normal
5: shaders did not appear
6: shaders did ...

FOUND IT!!! but... it is a bug.

The only thing I changed in the engine was in IrrCompileConfig.h. I changed line 102 from this:

#define _IRR_MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES_ 4

to this:

#define _IRR_MATERIAL_MAX_TEXTURES_ 6

Done so that I could use 6 textures in my terrain splatting Shader.

This has to ...

none of those models look particularly "high" poly. I would say anywhere between 100 and 500 polygons per model at the highest and you could achieve the same result. look for a toon shader tutorial to get the look you are going for.

Tested that between 1.5 and 1.6, again the only one that fails is the one I compiled using the tutorial in 1.6.

The only difference in any of the consoles is that the Irrlicht engine is 1.5 in one set, and 1.6 in the other. There is no indication that the shaders are failing.

The shader paths were not changed in the tutorial. (see the code below)

I made the 10.Shaders.exe in teh same folder that it started from, after renaming the original file to keep it. I ran both files. The old one shows the shaders, the new one does not.

psFileName = "../../media/opengl.frag ...

I was tinkering with 1.6 of Irrlicht and found that the shaders don't seem to be loading correctly. To test this, I went back to the Shaders tutorial and rebuilt it. The 3 blocks appeared black. I ran the original 10.Shaders.exe and it ran fine. Is there some problem that needs to be addressed here ...

According to VC++ if I try "virtual CBase_Shader_callback *callback;" it gives me an error that says that you cannot virtualize a data declaration.

What I want is in my terrain class, to create lights, and edit them, then update the data in the callback I created specifically for the terrain shader ...

OK, next question, though it is a little more complicated...

I created a base class and a terrain class based on the following code:
(the callbacks are callbacks to shaders)

class CBaseShader
{
public:
static const int MAX_LIGHTS = 4;
void createLight(int n,ISceneNode *parent, vector3df pos ...

Awesome, thanks for hte fast response, exactly what I needed.

This is a stupid newb question for ya....

Can I make a base class, inherit it to other classes, then access changes in the base class from the derived classes?

(could you site examples in the answer if you can)


This would be useful in creating a shader subset where the C++ passes the same ...

I take it that you have no artists on board as of yet so you have no screen shots or renderings.

So I have a few questions about this project to clarify.

Are you using a physics engine?

What are the world bounds? I am sure it is not as massive as WoW, or do you use world sub sections like most ...

Found it....

Called Render to Texture... Or what this guy did.. Render to Skybox

Now the better question would be.. can I create 2 scenes.. one being a "skybox" the other being my actual lit scene.. I will test that one tommorrow ...

I am working on a small project, and had the thought that I wanted a skybox. I looked at the two methods I can find and neither have the desired effect that I want. the AddSkyDomeSceneNode and AddSkyBoxSceneNode both draw static skies. I am looking something with a little more umph. So I was ...

OK, I was playing with newton and Irrlicht and came accross an interesteing error. First, I am looking at the BSPCollision file available HERE

The code:
// copy the matrix into an irrlicht matrix4
matrix4 mat;
memcpy(mat.M, matrix, sizeof(float)*16);

The error:
error C2248: 'irr::core ...
