Irrlicht Engine

Hi. I'm using this code in the game loop to rotate the camera horizontally around my character node:   if(rotateCamera == true) {     if(touchPoint.x > 0.0f) {Rotation = core::vector3df(0.0f, GetIrrlichtManager()->GetScene()->getActiveCamera()->getRotation().Y, 0.0f);}     else if(touchPoint.x < 0.0...

Alright.
I have set the angular factor to 0 and also adjusted the linear factor depending on which axis the platform is moving on, and now everything works correctly.

Thanks

Thank you.
I'm on vacation currently away from my development PC, but I will try this as soon as I can.

As the title says, I'm trying to create moving platforms that the player must jump on top of. I'm using irrbullet for my game and I'm having difficulty... I tried setting the platform mesh as a BvhTriangleMeshShape, but it cannot be moved with "setLinearVelocity" I tried setting it as a Bo...

Thank you for the reply!

I'm not sure where to start though. Can you give more hints please?
Also what do you mean by depth test?

Hi all. I'm developing a mobile game with irrlicht and I'm wondering if it's possible to do cheap fast shadows in it. Something like this for example: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/lostmedia/images/7/7c/Mario.jpg Just a simple texture rendered below the character. Since stencil shadows are very ...

Thanks for the replies, and yes, I'm a newbie so.... Haha! This ain`t an optimization. It`s an empty scene. Unless it`s a 2d game, only hardcore gamers may like it. :D Ever heard of half-life? 1998's game of the year? http://i52.tinypic.com/r227ty.png http://i56.tinypic.com/9tnwy9.png http://i53.tin...

Any tips for performance optimization on mobile (android+ios) ? ofcourse other than lowering the poly count... A nice culling technique for static meshes would give a nice performance boost, don't you think ? Man I remember the days of half-life, 10k triangles in a map, only 200-300 rendered at a ti...

you should really have about 64kb of vertex data per draw call, so that works out to (pos,tcoord,normal,color = (4+2+3+1)*4=36)*3=108 or so bytes per triangle. This means about 606 triangles, so your mesh should have no less than 512 triangles in your octree node (actually on PC I recommend 2048). ...

Polygons: 11167
Vertices: 33501
Primitives: 44

This has always bugged me... Why is it running slower even though it's rendering less ?! addMeshSceneNode gives me a constant 60fps while octree gives 45-55fps I'm using a Galaxy S2 which is the top phone hardware-wise at the moment, others are getting 30-40fps average with addMeshSceneNode in the s...

Did you even check the Quake3Map example source? /* Because the level was not modelled around the origin (0,0,0), we translate the whole level a little bit. This is done on irr::scene::ISceneNode level using the methods irr::scene::ISceneNode::setPosition() (in this case), irr::scene::ISceneNode::se...

thanks it works!

ok , let's say I modified Irrlicht's lmts mesh loader and I want to add it using smgr->addExternalMeshLoader.
can anyone explain to me by code how to do that , please?

Sorry for my noobishness

thanks guys!
I have absolutely no worries now!
