Irrlicht Engine

lol on the FPS. Looks great!

Thanks for this! It worked great! Although, it does not work with Static Irrlicht due to a conflict between the "Multi-threaded debug" and /clr switches. This seems to be a limitation of mixing managed and unmanaged C++ in MSVS. kapooo, it is working fine for me with Irrlicht 1.7.1 and MSV...

One thing I like doing (With games that support it) is running them in borderless window mode at 1280 by 900 (On my 1280 x 1024 display) that sets them at the perfect size to exist on my sceen without covering my task bar.

If you are creating your own textures then it should be even easier to make it a PNG from the start =P

I agree with slavik, this would all be much easier if you used a proper format. JPEG lacks transparency and uses a very lossy compression, so it is not well suited for textures.

As far as I know, you can't. Templates need to be created in some special way. I think you can use the project files to help create the template though.

If you're looking to make it easier to start an Irrlicht project, you could always use a tool like Premake to generate your project instead.

No, my method is per node. Just use a different alpha value in your callback. Remember, I'm using IrrCg, it is a bit different with GLSL and the built-in shader support in Irrlicht. IrrCg does work with OpenGL, however. EG: This might be your callback. void AlphaShaderCallback::OnSetConstants(IrrCg:...

Just look at the custom scene node example or look at the docs.

Well if what Lonesome Ducky says is true, then it doesn't seem to matter since rendering our own Z-buffer seems to be better anyway.

This is for Cg, so the syntax will be different, but it would be something like this: void fadingPixel(float2 uv : TEXCOORD0,uniform sampler2D texture,uniform float alpha,out float4 color : COLOR) { color = tex2D(texture,uv)*alpha } And then alpha would be set in the shader callback. I belive I reme...

Is it even possible to access the internal Z-buffer?

I wouldn't be so sure, terier's hallway looks amazing. The screenshot competitions are getting harder and harder to choose which one is the best. (Which is awesome btw)

Anyone know if there is a svg version of the newer Irrlicht logo out there? It would definitely make ent1ty's logo less pixely.

You used the old one from the website =P The one on the Wiki is much nicer http://www.irrlicht3d.org/images/irrlicht_new_logo.png other than that, pretty nice!

And like the others said, quite a few polys on there!

Just saw on the SVN RSS feed Cool!
