Irrlicht Engine

There is an annoying bug in your engine that results after creating Irrlicht on an existing Win32 window that was created with styles such as WS_SYSMENU.

It is in file "CIrrDeviceWin32.cpp" at line 376.


else if (CreationParams.WindowId)
{
// attach external window
HWnd = static_cast<HWND ...

Is there any way to draw a 2d image rotated with the irrlicht engine?

Heh, I just looked through all the examples for it finding nothing.

I swear I remember seeing it somewhere, I'm not crazy


Oh well, the question still stands, is there a way to release the memory being used by a font and still be able to re-load it later on?

It's not really a memory leak that's the issue, but when I call drop() the engine doesn't seem to realise I've deleted the font, then later when I ask for the same font it will return me a pointer to the font that was deleted, thus a corrupt/invalid pointer which I can't use

I've run into a problem using Irrlicht's font class, the examples show that when you are finished with it you call its drop() function.

However, when I do this and then later in my program ask the engine for the same font, it will return me a pointer pointing to garbage and cause my program to ...

The examples for the Irrlicht engine showed me that when I'm done with a font I should call it's drop() function.

However, when I do this, and then later in my program ask the engine for the same font again, it will return me a pointer pointing to garbage and cause my program to crash.

How do I ...

Irrlicht is open source, why not look at the source code? thay are normally coded in C/C++ using OpenGL or DX


I don't think you understand what I mean, Irrlicht is a 3D graphics engine isn't it? And it uses DX and OpenGL which are Graphics Libraries.

What I mean is how would I write something ...

I was just wondering what it involved. Does it mostly use assembly? Does it require an immensely good concept of mathematics? Does anyone know how to change a single pixel in assembly? ^_^

I was looking at the Window Procedure for the win32 device and saw a function that seemingly finds which device the HWND comes from. I followed it's origins as far as I could to a class named Iterator, looked at it but was completely confused about what it does.

I was just wondering.. If anyone ...
