Irrlicht Engine

To design a map, you could use DeleD. It's nice and it's free. Using Ibuzzo's DMF loader, you can very easily load up your map into Irrlicht. DeleD : http://www.delgine.com DMF Loader : http://www.ilbuzzo.net/downloads/DMFLoader.zip For modeling, anim8tor is a great free product too, lots of tutoria...

Sorry for that post folks, I understand now how it works. If several identical meshes are connected together, side by side, getting bouding boxes from meshbuffer will return the bounding box of the resulting meshes assembly. 4 walls, 4 times the same mesh connected to make a square room results in o...

Hi there Again with my problem about getting a 2d top-down map view of a 3d mesh. I built a small test map mesh with 4 same walls, a tower at the center of the room,a roof and a floor. So I have 4 mesh buffers in the map mesh. getMeshBufferCout returns 4 as intended. Well, I can get all the meshbuff...

You should use an array reflecting the state of each key. There is a FAQ entry for this :

Hi there

I am currently trying to implement an A* pathfinding algorithm for a given node in a given scene. But to achieve this, I need to have the top-down 2D view of the 3D scene I am currently rendering on the screen, and I don't have any idea on how to do this. Anybody could help ?

Regards

Well, nice work :D Since the release of the loader, it was a real pain to : 1- Edit the map with DeleD 2- Export it to .X 3- Load up the exported .X in LithUnwrap 4- Save it as uncompressed text to be able to load the map with Irrlicht. This small and beautiful class will greatly improve workflow an...

Thanks for pointing this out Sweenie. Didn't see that the directx9 package downloaded using "check for updates" only contains debug version of the DX libraries. Anyway, a bit of googling later, I found another Directx devpak here : http://www.g-productions.net/page.php?id=23 Download this ...

Okay, I understand now. Well, I just followed some steps described on a post somewhere in the FAQ forum, but anyway, here is a short summary on how I succesfully did it. 1. First of all, get the DX9 DevCpp package. Go to tools/check for updates/package and download the DirectX9 devpak. Installation ...

steps-wise though?

Well, what do you mean by this ? I'm french and I cannot understand the meaning.

--so this has to be done with each project? Can't be set permanently? :shock: Get yourself by hand, dude :wink: Tools menu entry, compiler options. Check "Add these commands to the linker line" and enter -lIrrlicht -ljpeg -lz and the settings will be permanent for all of your projects. We...

All of the modes work for me.

No, There was no DirectX support for the DevC++ version of the library. Sorry I didn't tell that in the first place ! Initial post edited

Hi folks Just to help people running around to find how to compile Irrlicht 0.8 with DX8&9 support for DevCpp, I recompiled Irrlicht.dll and uploaded an archive on my webspace containing : Irrlicht.dll with both DX8 & DX9 support (as well as OPENGL though) d3dx8d.dll d3dx9d.dll libIrrlicht.a...

Is there a way to permanently set these options, or can I copy all of those files into Dev-C++'s "include" and "lib" folders? Yes, you can but to keep things clear, I suggest you to create some subdirs in both libraries and include DevC++ directories. All you have to do then is ...

Thanks a lot for this. Now I'm messing up a bit with the target vector. Whatever I enter in setTarget method of my camera scene node, the camera always looks down to the ground and I always get [0,0,100] as target vector with getTarget method. For example, I have a testnode on which I apply a flystr...

Hi folks. Brand new here. A bit noob about 3d rendering too. Well, I struggle against Irrlicht engine since a few days and the things are getting clearer. But there is some things that I cannot understand at the oment and I cannot find any help on the forum. Well, sometimes camera deals with its &qu...
