Irrlicht Engine

I'm using a laptop, and whenever I press any of the laptop-specific keys (such as these ) I get this: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum class net.sf.jirr.EKEY_CODE with value 179 at net.sf.jirr.EKEY_CODE.swigToEnum(EKEY_CODE.java:168) at net.sf.jirr.SEvent.getKeyInputKey(SEvent.java:49) at...

We don't support the whole set of properties which are existent in .mesh files. Hence, you won't get back the full files. This will be most apparent on animated files - they are simply not supported at all (but also not in .obj :wink: ). But all supported features will be properly exported into .ob...

As for your movement code, I'm glad to tell you your collision/response code must be working. Not letting the camera go under the terrain is step #1. The next step is applying gravity. You say that when you let go of the key it fixes itself. Does that happen instantly, or does it have a smooth drop...

Alrighty.

I know that in regular irrlicht you need to use .delete() on all of your vectors and stuff to free up memory or something, but since java has a garbage collector, does calling delete() actually do anything?

Woot, so with some help of randomMesh in the chatroom I got it to not run on a timer and use a difference between frames to make sure that you get the same movement speed. :D Now I have another problem. If I'm holding down "up" on my keyboard and making my character move forward, it goes u...

Nope, switching around the order didn't do anything.

All of the camera updating, moving, and player node movement are all on the same timer so I don't really see how it could get "de-synced".

My code at the moment

I haven't looked too carefully at your example, but one really common thing that can happen is updating the thing you want to look at, updating the camera target direction and the rendering are in the wrong order. You can end up rendering where the target entity was in the previous frame. Try re-ar...

Have you tried looking at that demo that comes with irrlicht? The one about triangle selectors. You could use the ray thingy (i.e. what the demo does with the billboarded plane and the camera) to find where the ray intersects with the object you want the camera to collide with.

EarthSculptor 's demo seems to be good for making terrain. It can export a heightmap, texture map... everything you'll need. :D Only problem with the demo though is that you can only have maps up to 256x256. Full version is $50 and supports up to 4096x4096. :shock: Also if you run it on vista, turn...

I've made a basic "move forward" thingy, and it works fine and stuff. But when I'm holding down the up key, occassionally the screen "flickers". It's very quick, but it's pretty noticeable. if (Viewer.receiver.getKeys().get(EKEY_CODE.KEY_UP)) { vector3df vel = new vector3df(0, 0,...

Thanks for this! It's very helpful

Thanks for this!

Is the OP still working on this?

Try looking at jirr's sourceforge page and download the source. The tutorials come with it.
