Irrlicht Engine

Thx for response Nadro

Ok, when I try and compile with dev-cpp, it complains about there being no int main (). So to counter it, I put the source inside a dll-template project. It generated an IrrCG.a

The original IrrCG library is .lib so .a is probably the wrong format,
but I don't know how to ...

Thx for response Kojack.
I'll look into Deled.

You're right about the 24 vertices thing. I struggled for answers as to the fault, so I made a theory that that was problematic. I didn't know what I was talking about, I was grasping at straws. I'm not sure about the t junction theory though. The dots ...

Hi again.
I fixed vertex duplicates using blender, and it removed alot of the problem, but still not fixed :cry:
I don't know what else to do to fix it. Having no texture you still get the problem. It's not specific to irrEdit either. I've now seen the dots in blender. It must be something wrong ...

I think the problem is that new vertices are created for each face, even when though they could be shared by adjoining facing. Since the adjoining faces are completely independent of eachother, their edges don't line up properly (that's my theory).

Cleaning that up would also make the models much ...

Just incase anyone has any ideas, here is the contents of a mesh representing a cylindrical room with a cube cut out the side.
It was the only small enough file I could make that has the flicker problem.

I haven't had a great deal of experience with bsp maps, but personally I would look into the positions of the verticies, on the triangles. It looks like the verticies in the two faces are very slightly different. perhaps one is at 0 and the other at 0.0000001. On second thoughts though doesn't this ...

I'm using an nvidia 8800gt. I've got the latest drivers. It's not overclocked at all.

Could there be some card incompatiblity? That would most certainly be bad.

Any ideas what I should do?

Here's a cropped screenshot of the problem.

I made this model, and as you can see, little white dots can be seen. They are actually just showing what's behind the object (which is a white skybox). It doesn't look that bad on a single ...

IrrCG readme says it was compiled for irrlicht v1.4, not 1.4.2.
Unfortunately this makes it a nightmare for compilling noobs such as myself.

Clearly, I have to recompile IrrCG to work with my system so can anyone please give a guide on how to do that successfully (without the endless stream of ...

I tried to compile the example 01.BasicLighting and received the following error messages:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `IrrCg::ICgProgrammingServices::ICgProgrammingServices(irr::IrrlichtDevice*)'

OMG, you are using a windows-style file loading dialogue in Irrlicht. That is amazing! I didn't think that was possible, but I'm glad to see it can be done (I absolutely hate the irrlicht file loading dialogue)

Your guess was exactly right. OnEvent was returning true, and returning false fixed the problem. Thank you JP!

Irrlicht isn't printing anything to the console, even though it appears to be functioning correctly.

Usually, Irrlicht prints messages to the console about the resources loaded, the errors encountered and the system info. I don't want to go without the errors encountered messages.
The IrrKlang ...

dlangdev, you really are quite an artist. You make simple lightmaps and low-poly models look so awsome.

I'm a big fan of lightmaps, but have never had the opportunity to experiment with them.

Artwork like that, combined with shaders; the potential boggles the mind.

Thanks for the responses.
I am more of an artist than a programmer, so I like to set my goals high for graphics.
These are the sort of pictures I was after to see the potential of Irrlicht.

Your question is kind of like "What quality of drawing can I do with a HB pencil?", it's all down to how ...
