Irrlicht Engine

I believe there is a material for 2 sided sprites, so I'm guessing yes. But the problem here is that it's getting backface culled - I think the best solution is to put another polygon for other side. Another may be to disable backface culling, but i think that's a bad idea.

Possibly, but I think you may want to look more along the lines of OpenGL and DirectX.

Hi all, I've noticed that there are two ways to draw an image on-screen - one is to use the video driver's draw2DImage, and the other is the IGUIEnvironment's addImage. I suppose draw2DImage will consume less memory? Also, does the fader work on draw2DImage images? I'm going to take a very quick gu...

Oh, that's probably also a problem Didn't even notice.
Use an if instead if your in a loop, or just make an entire Irrlicht loop there.

Haha re-reading my posts it really shows what kind of mood I'm in when I'm forced to work on a Saturday morning! O_O No offense, but that post is missing some of the point. The fact that they're willing to pull so much just to make sure they get as much money as they possibly can is just a little a...

Have you maybe seen my thread, there is an issue of portability in VS2008 http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=30214&highlight= That only applies if you don't have the runtime installed. Some people will have the runtime installed with Other applications, or maybe even a versi...

It is possible to turn off the managed library support in 2005 and later for C++ projects. The option is buried somewhere deep inside the options area though. I believe the situation is the application is not managed, but the MSVCRT runtime for 2008 isn't already installed. In that case, many peopl...

background->move( position2d<s32>(+10,0) ); It's not an Irrlicht related problem. Let me explain. When C++ gets up to +10, it calculates 0+10. (I believe.) Positive 10, in other words.(So + has no effect.) It doesn't add to what you already have, as the Irrlicht documentation clearly states that pa...

I have a small doubt :? in blender if we create a small city or something similar we also add the environment i.e the sky textures.now if we import this into irrlicht do we have to again use skyboxes or will the textures of the sky be automatically loaded. How do i create a dynamic environment i.e ...

Danke ;) Worked great. Had to manually apply the patch and change a few functions in Klagui but it's all working fine now. Thanks again. Will this patch be applied? I think It's pretty useful considering existing games probably don't expect messing with the vertex color alpha to do anything anyways ...

A game sector that has made piracy redundant is the multi-player online, free game paid subscription sector that seams to be doing very well indeed on the PC. I wanted to mention online play because it's an interesting way to make money other than selling the game itself. Subscription fees are anno...

There are a lot of NVidia fan boys out there who would argue hands down that their better, but the best one to buy tends to fluctuate I'm a fan of NVidia just over ATI - ATI will likely get you more raw power, but for many reasons it's not really as good as the equivalent NVidia card in all cases. ...

I'm interested, though I no longer use Windows for my main development box - Would it be possible to build a GCC Linux cross compiler inside of Cygwin and use Irrlicht from that? Testing would still require CoLinux, or another box, but you could still make builds without running the Linux kernel whi...

I think I read somewhere that I can only add upto 8 lights into a scene. What If my scene has many rooms? I should lightmap then? Is it possible that I add lights to my scene but irrlicht precalculate the lightmap? Use lightmaps in your scene if both your scene and the lights are static - For movin...

Oh, I finally understand - The GUI environment's window.

Can't you manually draw it after you drawAll the GUI environment? I haven't tried it so It's probably a stupid suggestion.
