Irrlicht Engine

Alright so maybe I just don't understand but why do we have to lock at all. I'm pretty sure in sdl you can bitblit any sdl surface to any other surface whether it is in video memory or system memory. So my question is this can we have a copyTo method like the one in IImage that can target another IT...

So, I'm a little behind the curve I just heard about 4.0. For some reason I'm super excited about it. As for Irrlicht being an OpenGL only engine. Some graphics cards have better performance with DirectX so I think it is good to give the end user options. But anyway from my understanding in terms of...

lol, alright. I'll try to stick to the coding style for the most part but I'll keep it in my project until it is more mature and then I'll submit it. I hope this works out I'm sure there are others who have just been throwing something together to do what I'm doing for their projects.

I'm talking about using the irrlicht gui. I'm just talking about making some new controls/GUI elements for it. I guess I could use gui image elements like you suggest but I don't know if that will give me the control I'm looking for. As for CEGUI like I said I'm planning on using the irrlicht gui it...

Alright lets see how much trouble I can stir up tonight/this morning. I have a pretty big project I'm working on with some friends for our edutainment. My friend that was going to do the UI wants to use images for almost everything from what I know of existing games that is pretty common. He has cre...

I like jeetee's methodology. Normally what I would to with more traditional software development is write a paper describing the functionality of the system in depth. Then go through and underline your nouns and verbs. The nouns will likely be your entities and your verbs will probably be functions....

A few days ago I decided to switch from the built in collision detection to a full blown physics engine. After poking around a bit I selected Ode. I pieced some code together from tutorials and began testing. That is when the pain an suffering started. So either I'm slow in the head or ODE is a pain...

Alright, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining.

Yeah, sorry my performance issue is limited to my test scene. I get great performance from the sample applications. 2000 fps on one of the simple ones. I wasn't trying to blame the engine for my performance issue I was just relaying how I came to my question. I'm pretty sure my issue is either a bug...

Backstory: Howdy, so I have a scene with a terrian, skybox,mesh(character), 3rd person camera, and a light. Nothing special but I get 10-20 FPS. DirectX 9 & OpenGL give roughly the same results. My first thought was oh man I have some horrible code somewhere that is eating up all the cpu time. B...

Hmm good call. I can confirm that the issue existed in 1.5.1. I went from 1.5 to 1.6 so that is why I reported it as a 1.6 regression. I can also confirm that forcing a render after creating a node causes the correct behavior in 1.5.1 and 1.6. All of my tests where using MSVC8 but I wouldn't imagine...

if you build the following code against 1.5 Sydney falls into nothing. If you build against 1.6 she stays in her spot. you have to switch the parts labeled 1.5 and 1.6 which is just changing s32 to u32 because of that change in 1.6. The rest of the code is the same. #include <irrlicht.h> #ifdef _MSC...

I have what appears to be a regression. I have a somewhat complex project but I just switched to 1.6 from 1.5 this morning. I may regret that decision though because now gravity doesn't work. The ninja model which I'm using for testing just floats above my height-map generated terrain. Also before I...

Lol, thanks. I had actually looked at llmozlib I had several problems with it. One building it requires old versions of mozilla, MSVC, platform sdk, and windows sdk. I tried to build it but no luck. After tinkering with it I decided it wasn't worth it because it was an old version anyway and seems p...

Anyone have some simple example code for adding an in game browser with gecko and irrlicht.

Or better yet anyone have an already built control with an open license


ps. wasn't sure if this would be code snippet or advanced help but whatever.
