Irrlicht Engine

yeah, you are right, that change would have a relatively specific use case, but at least for me that is something i write quite often.
Your solution seems better, wouldn't it even be possible to write

driver>draw2DImage(texture, position, texture->getSize(), 0, color, true);

because the ...

when doing 2d drawing, I often find myself writing code like

driver>draw2DImage(texture, position, core::recti(core::vector2d<s32>(0,0), texture->getSize()), 0, color, true);

the part to create the rect that contains the rect creation takes up a significant portion of the parameters, even though ...

hello,
i know now why the code shown above does not work:
in irrlichts addFileArchive function, it is tested for every loader whether it is able to load a that path. this function for CArchiveLoaderMount does the test like:
deletePathFromFilename and test whether filename ist empty, if yes, it can ...

sorry for the misunderstanding
i didn't mean the "." could not be added as search folder, i meant that i could not add any folder, even "." which surely exists.

it seems to be a problem with adding folders...
if i zip the folder and add the archive, everything works fine.

a minimal example would ...

Hello,

when i use addFileArchive I get the error message
"could not create archive for: ..."
even if I try
device->getFileSystem()->addFileArchive(".", true, true, io::EFAT_FOLDER);
which obviously should work, as the folder "." exists.

I used this functionality already in an older project ...

i've read the docs, but i don't understand why the rectangle i use for clipping (0,0;400,300) is different from the one i use for beginScene() (0,300;400;600). Also, the behaviour of storing only the pointer is not what i expect by reading the docs.

rendering to a RTT works quite fine for OpenGL ...

At first, thanks for the suggestion of quad drawing, at least i am able to scale everything correct....

it helps me at least if i use OpenGL driver...
but i don't see why i don't need RTT. Now, I use a 400x300 Texture and render everything into it, and then i draw to the screen using the method you ...

i am developing a simple 2D game as free time project and decided to use a very low resolution (400 x 300) to be able to use low res grafics.

but unfortunately, some recent screens don't provide a 400 x 300 fullscreen resolution anymore, but i want to stay with this resolution.

My first approach ...

oops, I see, in the code i posted the forward declaration of IEventReceiver should of cause be SEvent :oops:

DtD:
including irrlicht.h is what i usually try to avoid...
there is no reason for game logic to see SEvent, so SEvent and all dependencies are not needed here.
you are right, 500 LOC are ...

Yes, it relies on SEvent, but SEvent is only needed as a const ref function parameter, thus, a forward declaration would be sufficient.

Of cause, if you want to pass an event to en event manager, you need to include also SEvent, but for all other purposes the users of the Event Receiver don't need ...

I've noticed that the IEventReceiver.h file provides too much if you only want to derive your own class from IEventReceiver.

for IEventReceiver, the following code would be sufficient:

class SEvent;

//! Interface of an object which can receive events.
/** Many of the engine's classes inherit ...
