Irrlicht Engine

I haven't tested to see if this would work, but I've been thinking.
Would it be possible to disable a use/attack event if the x, y, and z distance is too far between the camera and the object?

I know little about terrain, so I'm still unable to think of something without making it hardcoded, so I'm ...

You don't need to know DirectX to use Irrlicht, but knowing DX can help you to customize Irrlicht to your needs.

Then again, what I just posted only applies for Direct3D, since Irrlicht doesn't handle anything except graphics and some physics.

I checked it out, and did some minor bug testing for ya.

Biggest bug I noticed: Clicking in the direction of objects. The mouse pointer ignores walls. Oh, and another thing...so does Mr. Skeleton (lol, scared the crap outta me, I wasn't ...

Ok, I figured it out: both tuts are missing one step to enable opengl support.

In Project Options, Parameters, Linker...
Throw in libopengl32.a from the devcpp\lib directory.

lmao, got it to finally work with dx8 and dx9...but I also found that it disabled opengl :lol:

Rather than open with opengl, it just closes, as it normally does to dx when it's not supported.
Oh well, I'm too tired tonight to work on it: maybe I'll tinker with it tomorrow after work.

Thanks for ...

I tried doing the tutorial
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5813

but it couldn't compile


cannot find -ljpeg
ld returned 1 exit status

I followed the instructions as shown in the tutorial, and I'm using ...

It's nice to be able to post without logging in...but I'm going to have to say disable guest. Furthermore, maybe consider blocking all IPs that are associated with the posts. Alternatively, I did like the idea someone mentioned about requiring random text being entered in order to have the message ...

I was working on the 4th tutorial, using the webpage format, and noticed some code was missing. The part that gave it away was that the class was never closed before the main function was started.


class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver{public: virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event) {


If ...

Ok, not sure whether that was the problem or not, but either way, the newer version of devcpp (4.9.9.2) has a better interface (than 4), and I was able to determine what goes where. It seems my problem was that my libraries couldn't be found, even though I thought they were put into the right spot ...

I've double-checked the tut, but I'm still having problems. I'm going to try another version of devcpp, and see if I get better/worse results. The one I'm using claims only to be version 4, and is a different interface than the tutorial uses.
