Irrlicht Engine

Thanks for the mirrors they are very nice.

I like my numbers to be very random so I wrote my own random functions not based off rand().


#include <time.h>

bool RandomChance(s32 Chance);
bool RandomChance(float Chance);
s32 Random(s32 min, s32 max);
float Random(float min, float max);
s32 SystemTimeRet(SYSTEMTIME* Sys);


bool RandomChance ...

uniform sampler2D ScreenMapSampler;
uniform sampler2D DepthMapSampler;

float unpackFloat(vec4 value)
{
float extractedDistance = (value.r + value.g / 256.0);
return extractedDistance;
}

float calcSample(float depth, vec2 texCoords)
{
vec4 tempDepth = texture2D(DepthMapSampler, texCoords ...

Ah thats good to know. Sorry for the miss help.

The reason my Rotation only returns a 2d Rotation is because I use it to have one npc chase another. If they start looking up and down with a 3rd Rotation it would look silly.

ArcTan does it for you and its fast.


core::vector3df LookAt(core::vector3df Pos1, core::vector3df Pos2)
{
core::vector3df Rot;
float X; float Y;
X = Pos1.X - Pos2.X ;
Y = Pos1.Z - Pos2.Z ;
Rot.Y = (irr::f32)((atan2(X, Y) * 180 / PI2) + 180);
return Rot;
}

Thanks Bitplane I should have looked a little harder before I posted

Never Mind this miss post...

To start if you dont have Gimp or the Gimp Normal Map Plug in download these.

Get Gimp
http://www.gimp.org/

Get the Normal Map Plugin for Gimp

Once installed open the texture you wish to make 3D.

Well, no matter how hard you protect it, as soon as you release it there will be people able to steal it (which does not mean they will do it though).

Agreed but most people able to steal it really wouldn't bother with much stuff here.


And that's where releasing unobfuscated content helps ...

Coming from a hacker that can bypass Game Guard. I say your .ice format is a good thing. It will keep honest people from stealing your work. I plain on making all my game data load from a single file or even pack it in the exe with simple encryption. It wont keep every one from getting a hold of it ...

Clean up the crappy dragons and now sporting some new shadow lights from Blindside =)




I found an easy way to make normal maps I plain to relase soon when I have time.

Cheers.

Thanks for the honesty. Sadly I am the artist / programmer / sound guy, so I guess its back to the drawling board.

Heres some screens from my game
