Irrlicht Engine

You could use some checksum calculation (like CRC), and store the result in the source code. Before loading, just calculate it again, and see if the two values match.

Actually, it's gameinstance.Run(), in the above context.

If you happen to create a console project in MSVC, you will have main() instead of winmain() I think.

I'm not sure how Irrlicht handles heightmaps, but as far as I'm concerned having an 1024x1024 heightmap means 2 million triangles... If you really want to have such a large map, you should try implementing a CLOD algorithm like ROAM.

It looks promising. What does ICE stand for ? The net or the math library ?

I had the same problem - not with Irrlicht, with everything. When I moved the cursor over a window that was being updated, it started to blink. Try using a different video driver, it worked for me.

niko wrote:300 fps in d3d8 vs. 80 fps in d3d9. Wondering what this could be. I'll try to find it.

Check this out: with one faerie and a couple of .3ds spheres loaded and Tokamak running I have about 1200 fps in d3d8, about 100 in OpenGL and 80 in d3d9. Now that's a difference

If you only want to translate them, you don't need the relative coordinates.

pointB+=your_vector;
pointC+=your_vector;


This should be enough. However, I don't know whether you need to update some transformation matrix or not to tell the engine you actually moved your tri ...

The eventreceiver is declared in the constructor, and the pointer is passed to Irrlicht, which may crash the game when the first event comes by.

Edit:

If I were you, I'd try to get rid of the camera global variable. To do this, inherit the gamesplash class from IEventReceiver and place the OnEvent ...

Some ideas:
- for a networking engine, check out ICE (http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html), it's free, complete and has LOTS of features.
- recently I used AngelScript for scripting, it's free, C-like and took me about 10 minutes to learn (http://www.angelcode.com/angelscript/)

Oh I forgot. Just simply call the Update() function after the gSim->Advance() in your main loop.

If anyone needs more information (help or code), drop me a line.

Ookay I found the files at last :)
Sorry for the long post :)

GPhyCubeNode.h:


class CGPhyCubeNode : public irr::scene::ISceneNode
{
public:
void Update();
void InitPhysics(neSimulator* gSim, int index, int materialindex);
CGPhyCubeNode(irr::scene::ISceneNode* parent, irr::scene ...

Yap that was me

I'll clean up the code and post it here,

I had a problem like yours - assuming you are talking about the gimbal lock :). I found it easier to write my app using GLUT ;) Anyway the code below should help somewhat if the Irrlicht has a 'lookat' function for the camera.


Vector target = cam + 10.0f*Vector(cosf(yaw*PI/180.0f), sinf(pitch*PI ...

I think that's a bug in Windows XP itself. Check out xp-refresh.net to download the NVRefreshFix tool for nVidia cards. Or you can get a refresh-fixed driver (like 52.16).
