Irrlicht Engine

Hi all,
With the help of Travis from the advanced forum, I added this method to the ITerrainSceneNode object:

bool CTerrainSceneNode::loadHeightMapFromArray(irr::f32 heights[], int width, video::SColor vertexColor, s32 smoothFactor)

Then I added another method to the sceneManager ...

Thanks vitec! That was a very silly mistake of mine!

Hi all,

I'm working at extending the CTerrainSceneNode class to add a method with loads a heightmap from an array of values. Right now my function looks like this:

bool CTerrainSceneNode::loadHeightMapFromArray(irr::f32* heights[], int width, video::SColor vertexColor, s32 smoothFactor ...

Thanks! Will try.

Hi all,
I bet this has been answered somewhere (can't find it), but is it possible to modify a terrain (without reloading it from scratch) in real time? Specifically, I want to change the height of a terrain if, for example, a cannonball hits it.
Thanks!

Could you please post us the non-working code. Because my programs compile fine with no alt-key trouble.

Of course, alt-F4 will close the current window etc, so I take it you are handling that case.

An IImage would do just as well (Just trying to do simple perlin noise random terrains).

Yeah - I'm only using setRotation.

Thanks for that code snippet though!

Solved my own problem, I think.

For some reason, if you set the position, then render, then rotate, then update the absolute position, that works.

Can anybody tell me why? I'm confused - doesn't rendering the scene update the absolute position for me?

I thought of that. But shouldn't that be handled by: ?
Thanks for trying!

Sorry, I'll be even more descriptive of the problem.

Why does the camera tilt down when moving up, or up if moving down?
Why does the camera turn 180 degrees when moving forward?

I still think the suggestion has merit. Or at least the ability to convert a texture to a sort of virtual io::IReadFile.

What I have is a texture. Currently, as I understand it, it is not possible to convert that texture to a height map for a terrain without saving the file (hope I'm not missing ...

Because I'm using windows to do my input I can't use the FPS or Maya camera classes.

What I've done is create a normal camera and made it float above a terrain. Then I made 4 global variables to store information about the camera's position: camx, camy, camz and camr (the last one being rotation ...
