Irrlicht Engine

Or can I use a 8bit version of my texture in the wad file made with Wally to create my map, then copy manually the other versions of my textures with more colors, jpeg fomat and exactly the same names in the work/baseq3/textures (instead than using Package>Export Selected in wally) ?? :?:
Do you ...

valve's hammer. ok, you can't use some of quake3's features like curves, but i think it's simple to use and makes one productive.

What yu mean by "i installed it 'globally' on my mingw system" ?
i use my mingw/ msys system with many applications and thus have it seperately installed from devc++. and by 'globally' i mean: i went into the irrlicht/jpeg dir and typed ./configure, make, make install using the msys shell and ...

hi there,

i can only compile irrlicht .6 (mingw/devc++) when changing the definition (and the impl) of this function:
static u8 fill_input_buffer (j_decompress_ptr cinfo);
to this:
static int fill_input_buffer (j_decompress_ptr cinfo);
note: though i use the version of jpeglib that comes with ...

afaik irrlicht comes with a 3ds importer, rtfm

Also, I never made a map myself so what is a wad file? You can't use the jpeg pictures for textures directly?

of course you can use the images directly. but every editor i came across reads them from wad files. a wad file is just some kinda archive for textures. and most textures you'll find on ...

hi there,

i wrote a small tutorial on how to make maps for irrlicht with hammer/quark/whatever without the need of quake 3 and id's compile tools:

this has only been tested in DevCPP, so when i get home tonight, i'll be making sure it also works in MSVC.

it may sound ignorant (it isn't), don't care 'bout msvc. irrlicht compiles with gcc on windows, and gcc is the cross-platfrom standard. in fact, it is a very good compiler, and a compiler ...

Hi all,

I'm doing a game based on the Warhammer tabletop games from www.games-workshop.com Its a hobby project to learn C++. I've got the game logic and units sorted but I've no experience of working with graphics.

What I need are 3 essential elements:
1. A control panel along the bottom which ...

hi there,

i created an SMesh with some mesh buffers holding the geometry. when i want to add it via SceneManager with the addMeshSceneNode() method i get a segsegv in the CMeshSceneNode::getBoundingBox() method. i called recalculateBoundingBox() on the buffers and on the mesh, and i can get the ...

Only engine I've really got into before this was Half-Life. Of course, it's ever so slightly faster and prettier, and the netcode is nice, but it was limiting for what I wanted to do :D.

hm, i think it's not possible to use with gcc, is it? anyway, the download was too big for my poor connection ...

hi there,

i'm drawing my crosshair-cursor with driver->drawImage2D() after everything else is drawn and it works fine until i use the lightmap-feature from a .bsp-file (using lightmap textures). the image is just black. any suggestions?

I've tried a dozen of engines (r3d, neo, ogre, appocalypx, ca3d, ogl in sdl, jet3d, panavision, g3d, crystal space)

same with me, after a couple of tries i got crystal space compiled (win32 + gcc and it works only after i changed some typedefs in libjpeg, hoomhoom), but all 3d routines and demos ...

It would be possible to add some extra methods to the .bsp mesh interface, for letting it create the entities, or at least to get the data out of it. that would be cool. i think a method to get the entity meshes with their names (maybe a map or two arrays or whatever) and a method to get the entity ...
