Irrlicht Engine

This reminds me of a question I had before. With no criticism intended, because I love using Irrlicht and I'm grateful that it exists, I am curious as to why it should have errors (warnings maybe, but errors?) when building on other compilers? Is it not ANSI C++ with the exception of the DirectX and...

It's a sticky issue, mostly as a matter of choosing a convention, which you've now done. I think that the == and != operators are most useful in a graphics engine if they do independently compare x,y and z components, as you have it now. As we're working with computers, that's going to require a tol...

try this, make a simple electromagnet : 1 nail, wrap around some isolated wire, and connect the both ends of the wire to a battery, then put that electromagnet next to a radio, you'll hear the same squeaking noise :) You'll also likely burn your fingers in short order, making this even more fun to ...

I have been using Bullet for pretty much the same reason: it was the first one I tried. I did poke around reading documentation and looking at examples a bit before deciding Bullet was a reasonable choice. There was also some code out there showing how to use it with Irrlicht. Just to hedge my bets,...

As others have noted, I also find the scaling does not work. The trunks scale properly but the leaves do not. If you keep scaling the tree down, you just end up with a big puff-ball of leaves (that are too big). Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but in examining the code, I do see the scale vector ...

After a lot of time digging in the forum trying to figure out why my shadows quit working when my mini-map was on the screen, I discovered they worked when I set the map node as invisible in order to completely prevent the first render pass from drawing it. Apparently, it's presence close to the cam...

You're right. It is fixed there. The version of CMeshManipulator::createMeshCopy() in the SVN trunk doesn't cause a crash when cloning .x files.

Thanks!

No problem. I thought maybe this was a known thing there was an easy answer to. Maybe there still is. I have modified the 01.HelloWorld code to demonstrate the problem. Look for the Interesting Part in the code and comment in or out some different cases. I have included a sample .x file of mine (and...

I am having trouble with IMeshManipulator::createMeshCopy. The following code (where ism is the ISceneManager*): IMesh* mesh = ism->getMesh("mymesh.x")->getMesh(0); SMesh* clone = ism->getMeshManipulator()->createMeshCopy(mesh); crashes. I have traced this to the point where createMeshCopy...
