Irrlicht Engine

You need to post more than just game ideas. I understand it's a WIP and all, but you need to talk about what the technical features will be to entice us fellow game developers.

Also, your RTS sounds a lot like Starcraft (ie, Terran discovers Zerg and is like "omgwtf").

Having the ground and sky the same color is a little disorienting, but that might just be me.

Very cool mate

Why ask for Torque programmers on an Irrlicht forum?

What, no one remembers Red Faction?

The .NET wrapper forum is that way--> link

Looks pretty good, though.

C/C++ isn't just used for games, it's the strongest and one of the oldest languages around. It's used to develop almost everything, from OS's (Windows) to most games and applications.

Basically, it's really badass, so that's why most people use it.

(All the cool kids use C# though )

Maybe I'm just crazy, but that looks exactly the same?

Searching the BBS and the wiki (and the camera class in the API) returns nothing of relevance.

Thanks for the help!

Now, I use the .NET wrapper for irrlicht, so some of my terms or whatever might be a little off, but any help is welcome :) When I make the built-in FPS camera, it is only controlled through the arrow keys. If I wanted it to be a traditional FPS-style camera, how would I go about setting it to be co...

For your first device, name it something like 'tempDevice', and then leave your actual device as 'device' - maybe something's going on with the naming.

I'm just guessing, though.

I imagine this should also work with the .NET wrapper for irrlicht?

RTFM

For the most part, you're going to have to learn how to do everything on your own. There are a lot of code snippets around these boards that can help, as well as tons of experts on the engine that are willing to help you out.

Maybe IrrWizard would help, but I'm not sure. Check it out!

What exactly are you trying to do?

It sounds like you want to do everything that Irrlicht is supposed to, but only to an 'offscreen buffer,' for a 'background application.'

There's always GMod.

I think an IRC room in general would be pretty sweet. As long as people actually talked in it, I would enjoy the chat way more than the slow forums.

What sort of maps are you looking to make? Outdoors, indoors, both? Both. Mostly indoor, though some parts I would like to be outdoors (ie, a house and then you could go outside of it for 10 meters or so). [edit] Is it easy to make a map in Milkshape and then have it load up in irrlicht? Or do you ...
