Irrlicht Engine

Hi, I have modified the management of material in SPARK and commit it to the SPARK svn.
You can get the latest version and recompile.

Then to use fog with a given SPARK renderer, make a call to :

Hi, I m the SPARK developer. I ll check that and get back to you soon.

Hi, I guess you forgot to link a lib.
What are the 16 unresolved symbols that follow this line ?

That s a problem indeed...

I doubt a blue screen is related with some kind of memory issue (at least not software), I guess it is more a driver issue.

So are your GPU drivers up to date ?
Problem seems to happen on the tuto1 example which is OpenGL based. Are your running other OpenGL application ...

Hi, for pointRenderer size, this is actually due to the way Irrlicht handles points. Basically when rendering with points (in either OpenGL or Direct3D), you can choose to render them in screen size (pixels) or apply a scale on their size function of their distance from the camera.

However in ...

It doesnt crash but as the seed is initialized to 0, every random value generated will be 0. I set the initial value to 0 to force the user to initialize the seed. But maybe it is not the more convenient thing.

Anyway in the version 2, the seed is initialized based on the processor time so it wont ...

Ulf, Thats strange, I will check the configs setups. Have you tried running the example of the in-development version 2 of spark in debug directly in visual studio ? This should work normally.

freetimecoder, I guess it is because the seed of the pseudo random generator of spark is not correctly set ...

I have release a new version (1.05.00) and used Irrlicht 1.7 to compile with no pb.

Here is the change log

There s also some new demos (which were already on the svn) and the fire demo was improved :

Hi, the project is still alive but as I have not a lot of time for it, it goes slowly.

I havent tried to compile it with Irrlicht 1.7 but I guess it should work with maybe some minor changes.

I m currently working on a version 2 of spark which should be easier to use. This version will come with ...

Thanks for your comments

To answer your question Anoki, i dont know exactly when the next version will be released, but it will be within the next month. By waiting for the next release, you can get the svn version here, which has huge improvements and bug fixes compared to 1.04.00

Hi,

just to tell you i have fixed a couple of bugs in the Irrlicht module :

There was an array index out of bounds break in DEBUG mode in the IRRQuadRenderer which is now fixed (the data accessed was valid but the current size of the array was not that is why it was working correctly in release ...

Thanks :)

Also wanted to suggest adding a screen shot to the screen shot of the month competition, I personally really like the first screen shot. I suppose you do not get the full effect until you see it in motion though, perhaps the video of the month contest thread?


Unfortunately this demo ...

Hi,

The Irrlicht version used is the latest (1.6)

I guess you have a problem with your includes.
The include path of Irrlicht in your IDE must be the 1.6 one.
All the errors you have mean Irrlicht has not been correctly included (as all the missing symbols you got are normally defined in Irrlicht ...

Hi, thanks for your comment.

Actually the max nb of particles with 16 bit indices depends on the primitive used to draw particles :
16384 for quads (triangles)
32768 for lines
65536 for points

So it will generally be enough for most use in real time games.

The 32 bit indices system can hold far ...

Hi,

just to tell you i ve fixed the bug pointed out by ProjectIRR when rendering with ATI cards.

Yo can get the corrected version on the svn of SPARK :
https://sparkengine.svn.sourceforge.net ... arkengine/

I m now working on a particle editor, i ll let you know about the progress.
