Irrlicht Engine

Yes, the getMesh() of the ISceneManager. While executing the Techdemo for example, there are the following messages: ---- max@max:~/Documents/downloads/irrlicht-0.6/examples/Techdemo> ./techdemo Irrlicht Engine version 0.6 Linux Creating X window... debugtest Choosing visual display with stencil... ...

Hi all together, I just tried Irrlicht first time with Linux (SuSE 9.0, 64bit) and discoverd, that the getMesh()-function does not work. Evereywhere, where a static mesh should be loaded (in the examples and the techdemo, too) the program crashs with an Access Violation. I dont know anything more ab...

Once, I had the same problem. The way i solved it:
After making the zip-file I xored it by any byte. When the programs starts, it xores the file again by the same byte and safes the result in the temp-dir. This file can now be handled as a zip-file. On terminating the program it deletes the tmp-file.

Oups, the last guest was me.. I wasn't locked in
I wanted to edit my message:
I made a fps-shooter by that method. Because I used the bitmap-format my game looked much better then UT2004!

Hmm.. I just discovered some limitations of the compiler: You can't build real windows-programs. There are neither libs nor includes to do that (the readme says the same). There's no windows.h for example. That means you can't use MFC or the mighty windows-APIs :-( Perhaps it's possible to use the l...

Yeah, I had the same idea. That would be perfect

Hi all together, Yesterday I red an incredible news on heise.de: Microsoft offers his C++-compiler to download for free! The compiler can compile native windows-programs and .NET-programs. It's the same compiler as included in Visual C++, just without the IDE. I think it is a try worth, because for ...

Ok, 3ds should be no problem. I heard, that you can make shadowmaps with 3d studio, too.
Concept art and the complete designdocument will come soon. I was ill the last days and couldn't do anything for the game.

Ok, just if anyone ist interrested:
Here is the current version of the designdocument: http://www.crazy-monkey.de/rpg3d.pdf
I think it will be at least 12 pages, when it's done.

I think the world would be too big to let the player walk from one end to the other. I thought of dividing the world in towns. Inside a town you can go whereever you want. And inside of towns there will be severell taverns that you can enter. By entering, the town is unloaded and the inner of the ta...

private message.
I'm working on the design-document at the moment. I'll send it to you when it's done.

Tomorrow I'll try to send you the details as PM (I try because my idea is very complex and my english.. hmm.. it's good, but I must look up many words in the dictionary to explain all stuff )

Thank you! I think texturing shouldn't be the problem. I found several sites which are offering free textures for games. Surely there are good textures for us :) anim8or.. hmm.. Can anima8or create shadow-/light-maps, like Q3Build or something like that? If yes: No problem! 3D Studio MAX: If you've ...

Hmm... little, stupid question: What is SDL???

Hi! I'm searching good modell- and leveldesigners for a freeware-project. The game I'm planning will be an online-RGP. I've got detailed plans of the game und have got the needed programming-knowlegde, but all that I have NOT are model- and leveldesigners. If someone is interressted I'll post detail...
