Irrlicht Engine

Oh, I am creating a scrolling cowboy game (scrolling in up/down Y direction only), where you run along and can shoot, and these little cowboys enter from the top of the screen on their spline animator, run down and off the screen to escape according to a spline path, and fire a few shots.

So the ...

By a profiler do you mean some software that I can use to test/stress the application to see how its measuring up to performance or system requirements? You could suggest one? (unless you meant something else?)

So basically I just hide the node with node->setVisible(0); when an enemy dies? But not ...

Thanks, that seems to have answered my questions for now.

Hi there,

If I set some meshes to animators in an .irr file, and they're not yet in the camera view, will they be taking processing time by animating? If that's the case and I have many and don't want to was processing cycles, is there some way I can start them only when they come into the camera ...

Hi there,

I have a few questions regarding memory requirements, loading levels, etc.

How would I handle a large open area level (like in Zelda: Ocarina of Time there is a large open grassy plane). Should I use a Quake 3 level file for that, or should I create my own format for a level?

If you ...

Hi there,

I have had a read through the 7. Collision tutorial, but am not working with a Quake level or any particular level for that matter. I am just wanting to detect the collision between the meshes of two 3D objects/meshes that I have displayed. How do I do this? Use a radius or something?

I ...

Thanks, that answers my questions and seems to be just what I was looking for =). Seems I didn't look hard enough into the API docs to find those functions.

Thanks,

Hi there,

I have looked at the tutorial on movement (No#4) and also this:
http://www.irrlicht3d.org/wiki/index.php?n=Main.MastEventReceiver
on bool keys type stuff.

But currently there are a few things I don't understand:

1. Often with the other postings on using bool keys, it seems the state of ...

Oh, I think when I tried the .md2 exporter it complained about me rotating the object itself instead of doing the rotation in terms of the verticies of the mesh. But I wasn't sure how to rotate the verticies without rotating the whole object. I guess you keyframe "Mesh" instead of "Rot", but still I ...

Hi there,

I'm new to Irrlicht, and Blender also, but have been playing around a bit, and compiled some of the examples and gone through the tutorials.

I wanted start out with something simple like making my first animated mesh. I saw the sydney.md2 and faerie.md2 files in the tutorial provided ...
