Irrlicht Engine

Is there any Irrlicht equivalent function then ? I'd be happy to use whatever the engine provides x)

Sorry to dig up such an old topic ^^ But I gave up on GD (couldn't load pixel data into a texture, portability issues, trying to reduce external dependencies, lib doesn't seem to be maintained anymore, little to no community, etc.). I was thinking of using OpenGL functions to draw the chart directly...

Sorry, I made a small mistake while copy-pasting/adapting the code for forum readability, but the code was alright (anyway, just edited it :) ). Unfortunately, the width and height were among the first things I had checked. GD's documentation indicates that gdImageGdPtr() 's data output is raw pixel...

Hi, I've done just that. I started using GD (widely used in PhP applications and C headers available). I'm just having trouble with "passing it as a texture". From your post, I figured I should do something like that :   gdImage* img = gdImageCreateTrueColor(w, h); // Code that builds the ...

The question is in the title :) I'm trying to draw a Pie chart using IVideoDrivers's draw2D****** methods. Apart from drawing the initial circle with draw2DPolygon, I'm stuck :-/ I see there are methods like drawLine which could be useful at some point, but no methods like drawCurve, beginFill, endF...

Hi, First of all thanks for your reply (and sorry for the late reply on my side). The node is indeed centered (my xxx drawing was done hastily, gonna edit it ^^). As a matter of fact, I was looking for a generic solution that implied not to fiddle with the values, but more like something that worked...

Alright, I'm finally getting somewhere with the situation :mrgreen: (I'll post the complete solution once it's done and cleaned up). Still not totally there but... some progress ! It seemed that the screen quad node didn't really get along with the idea of a viewport, so I ditched it, favoring a sim...

Hi all, I wondered, is it possible with Irrlicht to simply apply a pixel shader to a GUI element and its children ? Let's say I have a custom GUI element (which looks like an old TV screen), with a few buttons / text inside. I would like to apply an effet such as this one : https://www.shadertoy.com...

Wow. You just blew my mind away. Soooo... that would mean the GPU would do most of the work here, right ? Basically that would be : Create a software texture (IImage ?) where one color = one different tile in the tileset (Quite small indeed). That image would have to be re-generated every time my sc...

Hi guys, Wow, so many answers :) Where to begin ? draw2DImageBatch() seems a really good idea. I thought about the quad solution actually, wondering if the gain would be significant. Just to clarify if I'm mistaken, It would mean I should : set a render-texture-target by calling videoDriver->addRend...

Hi, Thanks for your answers. I realised I haven't fully mentioned what purpose I perhaps intended to use tilesets for. - GUI skinning (at the moment all GUI element skin parts are divided in separate files, one file named "button.png", another named "checkbox.png", etc). - 2D &qu...

Hi, I'm currently developing a 2D side-scrolling shoot-em-up with Irrlicht. I'm asking myself a question before going on further about my graphical assets organization. What are the advantages (if there are, apart perhaps initial loading time) of loading large images composed of several sub-textures...

Hi, and thanks for the tip

Currently looking for more information about that, it seems that sqlite3returns unescaped characters because they are interpreted as binary.

Hi, Having stumbled upon your amazing work, I had been more than happy to test it, as I'm having a string encoding problem in my Irrlicht application. When using CGUITTFont with hard-coded values, everything works fine in the GUI. The problem rises when I'm retrieving data from a UTF-8 encoded SQLit...

Hi and first of all thanks for your work on your flag scene node. Alas, I confirm it's not working on OpenGL. The flag behaves strangely, it "waves" once, then waves on the other side, then slowly (over a few seconds) stops waving to finally disappear : I used the same camera positions, no...
