Irrlicht Engine

I think this comes closer. Are you planning to release a loading function to load and display the particle system created with the editor. I was thinking about something like


System *mySystem=System::loadParticleSystemFromFile("myFileCreatedWithTheEditor");


This would be fine. It wouldn't be ...

Thanks for super positive feedback, everyone.
I'll show this to our team on Monday.
That'll be another great morale boost

Hello everyone,
I'm here to announce release of our 2D casual hidden object adventure game, Reincarnations: Uncover the Past, which is available on http://bigfishgames.com as Collector's Edition since today, and in 2 weeks standard edition will follow.

See intro video, few screen shots and download ...

Ask your graphic developers about the library they use to load 3D mesh data. Also you can look at other available free libraries, like Assimp. Also you might need some 3D math (for example here http://www.geometrictools.com). Possibly things here might be useful too: http://vterrain.org

Modern video cards hardware can only draw simple Bresenham lines, no thick lines. Thick lines are simulated with 3D geometry (triangles and triangle strips).

So if you want full control over line rendering, with antialiasing, texturing, lighting, whatever you wish to control...

1. Build 2 points ...

This looks like its working as intended (by Windows designers).

To have window border solid, probably you will need to grab desktop picture under your window and then render it before your transparent picture, "simulating" transparence. Of course this will not update the picture if desktop under ...

Here's the first usable release of changes.

NEW http://longcat.info/files/irrlicht/irrlicht-171-nativedds-01.zip

Changes are listed here in my previous post also in an attached readme file. This includes DXT file format, DirectX8 ...

Im using mix of materials which have MIP levels, and which do not. Had the problem, when in some situations D3DTSS_MAGFILTER and D3DTSS_MINFILTER were not set correctly according to Material.UseMipMaps.

Here is what i found in "irr.video.CD3D8Driver.setBasicRenderStates"
texture stage state is not ...

Okay.
For now, DDS support for DX8 is functional as much as I needed it to be.

* D3DX is not used. I used example from DX SDK 9, and rewrote it for DX8;
* Mip levels detected, loaded and supported;
* Per pixel disabled (for obvious reasons, can't access specific packed pixels)
* Locking of image ...

Got into the following trouble now.
Resolved now.
D3D8Driver was using (CD3D8Texture *) C-style cast on everything. Fixed by making CD3D8Texture abstract common ancestor for (renamed) CD3D8TextureImpl and CNativeDDSTextureD3D8.

Now to fix the build tool (adding NV Texture Tools C# binding to my C ...

I've made:
* DDS Loader - another one, slightly based on that in SVN; Hidden inside nativedds namespace to avoid possible name clashes and to draw a clear line around my changes;
* DDS Image - minimum functions only holds the DDS file contents and responds to various queries;
* DDS Texture for DX8 ...

No or low friction means that wheel will slide, instead of rolling.
WEEEEE, zero friction let's sleigh!
Friction makes it roll, when the axle is moving.

So...
To keep stuff simple, what can I offer (also experimenting with it these days, trying to integrate into my prerelease quality 2D casual game)

1. Create CImageDDS, a subclass of IImage, always use format ECF_UNKNOWN (noone should ever need to access pixels and blocks in DDS surface) or add ECF ...

CuteAlien said: the DDS decompression will be optional is this new feature ;)
I'm still reviewing through the CImageLoaderDDS.cpp/h source, and only can see here ECF_A8R8G8B8 texture creation, which is decompressed upon loading. Keeping going like this, my JPEG+Alpha JPEG loading code works just ...

In irrcompileconfig.h (if i remember correct the file name, but you should have no trouble finding it anyway) there is plenty of options to be disabled. Few of them are depending on others, but you will figure that fast, when it will refuse to link without something, you recently have disabled.
