Irrlicht Engine

Didn't get to try it until my next business trip, but it works:


ITerrainSceneNode* terrain = (ITerrainSceneNode*) smgr->getSceneNodeFromType(ESNT_TERRAIN);
io::IAttributes* attribs = device->getFileSystem()->createEmptyAttributes();
if (attribs)
{
terrain->serializeAttributes(attribs);
core ...

Thanks, I'll try it.

I'm writing a scene editor that exports the scene to a .zip file. I need to retrieve the heightmap file name from the terrain scene node, but I can't find a suitable method to do so. Any ideas?

...Newton for my object physics, Irrlicht for camera collision with the terrain.

Doh!

Works fine now... thanks, vitek.

Okay, I have a test application that paints the Irrlicht viewport in a wxWidgets frame. I'm animating the camera with the wxWidgets event routines, like this:


void wxirrlichtFrm::wxirrlichtFrmKeyDown(wxKeyEvent& event)
{
// insert your code here
if (!cam) return;
float sp = 10.0f;
int k ...

NewtonMaterialSetCollisionCallback(...)

I think this will do what you're looking for; register a function to be called upon a contact. I'm guessing however; the demo code I posted above is my first Newton effort...

I munged Mercior's demo to work:


/* Updated Mercior's Irrlicht-Newton Demonstration
by Glenn Butcher, Jan 2008

Uses Irrlicht 1.4 and Newton 1.53, compiles with Mingw/DevC++
Major changes:
- Change matrix4 to use theCMatrix4 template class
- Padded the Newton world because the bsp size didn't ...
