Irrlicht Engine

The way this could be achieved is using a tiling terrain scene node, there is not one in irrlicht by default, but this thread http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20940 probably has what you need.

That demo looks very nice. However it is not a wrapping endless terrain. (There is ...

Any progress on landscape mode?

I've seen ITiledTerrainSceneNodeManager mentioned in a few posts and it
looks like what I need to repeat / wrap my terrain simply. I just want 4x4
or 8x8 connecting identical terrains that will just wrap around if you get to
the edge. Where is it located at?


thx,

That's what I do and it works fine.

Although it would be nice to see the source files in the static libs in the project file.

Like you can for a MS Visual Studio solution.

All the source is there. What I do is in addition to pulling in the .a static lib I also pull in all the source. Makes it ...

thnks

is it possible to use multiple textures for terrain?

No, just 1 solid texture and 1 detail texture on fixed pipeline per terrain.

But you can use texturing shader like splatting or anything else like that.

I'm actually working on a texturing shader with alphamaps and texture atlas to ...

I'd like to know this also. Can we register a callback or check some variable to know when a collision occurs?

I've been messign around with camera rotation but I think what I really need is to rotate the entire scene by -90 degrees (for landscape on mobile device).
I'm fairly certain that this isn't really what you want to do. If you want landscape mode, you just create a window that is taller than it is ...

After I spinup Irrlicht, I no longer get touch messages in my UIView. Is there a fix for this?

thx

edit: Oops, I see the engine has its own view, I'll have to redirect touches from that.

So how do I keep that straight ahead?

Move the target with setTarget as well?

Setting the target y to 0 did the trick. Maybe this has something to do with the way the FPS camera is setup.


m_pCamera = m_pSmgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(m_pParent,100.0f,1.2f);
m_pCamera->setPosition(core ...

I've got existing code that gives me a height above the terrain, and a
heading in degrees. I'm trying to get the camera situated height-wise,
and make sure it always pointed straight ahead as I manually move my
character position across the terrain based on heading (it's legacy code).

I just realized the above won't work anyway because the sky and 2D bitmaps would not also be rotated as well.

check this code out ;) :
//load b3d scene
IAnimatedMesh* mapMesh = smgr->getMesh("./data/maps/interior/interior_01.b3d");
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* mapnode = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mapMesh );
mapnode->setScale(core::vector3df(150,150,150));
mapnode->setRotation( irr::core::vector3df(0 ...

How do I do this?


thanks!

Its working. I just need to figure out how to rotate the camera for landscape, and turn off my old rendering so I can get an accurate FPS reading.

Update: No joy on landscape yet.
Terrain (Example 12) is currently running at 12-13fps so I'm doing something very wrong or I need to turn something off ...
