Irrlicht Engine

Decided to check this out... and here's my experience. For reference, I grabbed a copy from the post above me, and trying to build for Irrlicht (since its not labelled 1.7, I'm assuming its 1.8 branch).


Visual Studio Express 2008 really doesn't like the solution. Loading up the solution results ...

Ok, so I decided to check out the svn. After fixing a problem with the project file where someone forgot to add files to all projects, I found out CGUITTFont doesn't build anymore.

So, here's what to change to make this work with current svn (r4032)!

Visual Studio Express 2008, irrLicht 1.7.2

Added irrUString.h to project, got this...

2. It is not disabled by default

The source comment directly conflicts with actual state of the define.

Hence, bug.

I said (in message title) it ...

Unless otherwise noted, the official SDK releases come with D3D8 support.

I have to point this out then...

From the official 1.5.1 release

Figured I'd chime in... (all of my second post)... creating an MMO is my desire, sure, but (in the unlikely event the original author is still here), my current project is "Making my 3d image render in a window", my next will be "Rendering multiple 3d images at specified points"... my first game ...

Relevant Section...

Microsoft have chosen to remove D3D8 headers from their recent DXSDKs, and
so D3D8 support is now disabled by default. If you really want to build
with D3D8 support, then you will have to source a DXSDK with the appropriate
headers, e.g. Summer ...
