I can't do that because that's the easy way ;) I want the application to handle everything by itself. I'm working with Japanese kanji, I don't want to continually have to rely and manual input! (there's a lot of kanji!) So, back on the problem. I added a camera, but still, it only renders a blank te...

Render to texture

Hello, I want to do something pretty simple needing RTT. I want to draw 1 letter and make it a texture and then render that letter with draw2DImage(); Based on the tutorial, I came out with this code. Unfortunately, it just renders a blank square... video::ITexture *Test::GetLetterTexture(std::wstri...

Althought I have no experience with ODE, I believe going with Newton would be a better choice. There seem to have more documentation and projects using that combination (Arena of Honor being a very good example, implementing about every basic feature you could need).

Hmm... That's what I feared! I guess I'll have to learn Newton then :wink:

Moving a bot around a map

Hi, I would like to move the bots around the map just like the player. I want the bots to be under the effect of gravity and I want collisions to work... I can't really add a FPS camera just like I do for the player... Is there any simple way to do something like GoForward(speed); with the models' n...

Quake 3's .bsp spawn points and entities, once and for all!

Ok, this question seems to have been asked quite a few time but no concluding answer has been given and I can't find out what's wrong with what I'm doing. I extract spawn points off the map. With that position, I swap Y and Z and negate the Z (* -1). Using that position, my guy spawns way off the ma...

Sorry to dig an old thread but the link doesn't work anymore... Would it be possible to upload it again?

Using higher poly count model

MD2 models are... kinda blocky right? I would like to use something better looking (MD3 - UT2K4 type). Is there a way to take a complex model (high poly count) and convert it to MD2 so that I don't need to code myself a loader / animator / renderer for a new format? (time is short) If yes, what form...

Unaccurate GUI events

Hi, I'm working on a project using GUI elements. I noticed that unconsistently some events are unaccurate (i.e. they don't get fired up some times). It seems to happens only with the listboxes when there is an item change (when I click on a new item in the list). I have a list box and a static text ...

I made the little parser I talked about in my last post. One problem: I spawn on weird positions which are way off. I know vertices are stored strangely in the Q3 format... Could anyone tell me how I need to store the position? I tried switching y and z and doing z *= -1 but that didn't fix it...

I need this functionality too. I'm thinking of loading the map in Irrlicht normally and then, independently parse the map's header for spawn positions.

ITextSceneNode visible through walls

I'm not too sure if this can be considered a bug or if it's just how it's meant to be. If I add billboard nodes in my scene, they disapear when hidden by a wall or something. If I add ITextSceneNodes, I would expect them to do the same thing (but they don't...). Is there a possible 'hack' for this (...

I would also like to draw some text in those targets... 3d text doesn't seem to be supported (or is it?). Is my only option to render to texture and blend the two together?

Actually, the scene is very simple... The map, the md2 model and the billboards which are always in front of the model. I tried making the model invisible, but it does the same thing. The area of the target which triggers the collision (the white square) is the same on the 5 targets so I guess it ca...
