Irrlicht Engine

Try adding the following to your header files:

Actually, DirectX emulates vs1.1 on the CPU rather quickly - although, not as fast as on the GPU. ps any version, however, doesn't emulate well, and can be quite slow. Luckily, the code for emulation of vs1.1 is the EXACT same code for writing to the GPU as DirectX handles all the emulation.

Hope ...

I don't know about anyone else, but I have tried working on this, yet I've had no luck in getting this working. The methodology I was trying to implement was to enter into CVideoDirectX8.cpp (I know, but I'm a DX kinda guy), modify the setVertexShader() function to allow the programmable pipeline ...

Smartwhiz,

For us to discern what you're doing wrong, we have to know what you're doing to begin with. If you can, please post all code related to your BSP.

One other thing to consider is that dynamic lighting is per-vertex. In other words, each triangle in the 3D mesh will get a different shade ...

hey dude, i LIKE OOP. it WORKS mate...
heh though you arent alone if you do share that opinion, ive met a lot of guys who are all about old school c and hate all the OO stuff.
anyways, i is out

Actually, I like OOP as well. But, as a network engineer by trade, I have to give props to the ...

I've been having issues with that, too. I've played around with it a little, but I cannot seem to get it fixed. One of the things that I tried to do is, since the Animators for an IAnimatedSceneNode is nothing more than a deque (double-ended queue), I tried adding to the engine a second addAnimator ...

I'm actually using RakNet 2.0 right now in my project. It's a solid wrapper for Winsock and makes writing client/servers easy. It lets you make Network objects that update themselves between clients, allows for Remote Procedure Calls, and has a system for setting up packet structures.

I'm using 2 ...

I'll be honest, I haven't messed with dynamic shadows; however, from what I've seen of it, the BSPs don't cast shadows from dynamic lights, but will receive shadows from other objects in the 3D world. Also, the BSP should receive dynamic light depending on the setMaterialType() you specify. If you ...

I believe you would do something like this:

MeshNode->getMaterial(0).AmbientColor = video::SColor(0,0,0,0);

I haven't put it to use, but it should work in theory. I would assume that any call to getMaterial() should allow you to access the SMaterial struct as that's what setMaterialFlag() and ...

I'm also very interested in using Irrlicht's dynamic lights but dunno how to.
...

ps. My only advice would be to pick a good level editor that compiles a proper Q3 bsp. If you are not doing anything commercial then GtkRadiant is the best, in other cases I'd recommend the Quake Army Knife, aka ...

Creating a billboard is one way of creating a laser, another ( better way IMO ) is to create a small cylinder that is slightly thicker at one end. You put the thinner end towards the barrel end and the thinner end towards the target. You make this cylinder completely transparent, then apply a fog ...

It made sense when I wrote it, but I can easily understand where someone could be confused by my prior statement.

I guess we have to go over the mechanics of the billboard. And, I'm bound to make mistakes in the description, so feel free to jump in and correct me. The way billboards work is by ...

Hello all,

What I want to do is create a laser for my game, but I seem to be hitting a wall. I know that the best way to handle this would be to create an 'axial billboard,' otherwise known as a billboard that rotates on one axis. What I'm having trouble with is trying to figure out which axis I ...

The best way to handle this, since you will want to assure that all memory assigned gets deallocated. What I tend to do is in mu shutdown code is call the following:
if(IDevice) IDevice->drop();
This way, I can make sure that if the IrrlichtDevice exists, it gets deleted. Otherwise, I don't worry.

Just in case: you didn't do anything wrong, I was just to stupid to open the link.

Sorry about that...I was referring to the really poor translation of your post.
