D3D shading is not working properly, including color material which can't be display in EDT_DIRECTX mode. Following code will solve problem (in setRenderStates3DMode): if(ResetRenderStates) { pID3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_DIFFUSEMATERIALSOURCE, D3DMCS_MATERIAL); pID3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS...

I have experienced similar problems (shading working properly for OGL, but not for D3D), so I made following change to D3D renderer: pID3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_DIFFUSEMATERIALSOURCE, D3DMCS_MATERIAL); pID3DDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_AMBIENTMATERIALSOURCE, D3DMCS_MATERIAL); pID3DDevice->SetR...

Use Metasequoia 3D LE with built in .X exporter. This wonderful piece of software is stil my prefered.

Cool. It's allready on my desktop

Bug: if I choose Show3DBackground, after Hide3DBackground, it is not possible to move around anymore.

So the program core dumps due to NULL dereferencing. But you're not passing a pointer to function!? Exactly. We are pasing memory address. In this case reference is NULL because address is taken from pointer. It is big difference between: One important point to references is that they can't be NULL...

Hybrid, you must be kidding me :shock: This topic is about bug report, not about advanced C++ knowledge. But if you want to, we can discuss it. So indeed both pointer and reference link to the same address as Electron mentioned, but pointers are in no way references nor is it vice versa. One importa...

Yes, it is. But not before CVS will be available :wink: So you think that an event based rendering would be possible based on CVS :shock: Well, there could be the rare case where a completely static world with no movement of the cameras could be rendered once, and never updated. But in all other ca...

Probably. But using reference is faster, much faster when using objects. I would prefer to copy object only before reallocation.

Another way is to put reallocation after assignment. But then again, it could happen that memory usage will be doubled unnecessary.

Been here asking this question for a year, and all I got was a great big no! :? Now it's a yes???? :shock: You have to understand: Irrlicht is a graphics engine. Not a game engine. You have to add network, audio and physics to build game engine. There was discussion (voting) if Irrlicht should be g...

Temporary solution for this problem in my code (not real code, just example above):

If you don't see it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exists. Element is copied, but after reallocation. Value is taken from the memory where element is referenced. Please do following, and tell me what last element will be: array<s32> data; data.push_back(0); data.push_back(1); data.push_back(2); da...

Have you ever seen this?
Pointer converted to reference? Reference is a pointer.
