Irrlicht Engine

It shouldn't matter whether the message is internal or external, provided you're passing it using the right HWND. Are you sure the problem isn't elsewhere?

Use malloc or calloc to create a char buffer of size (file length + 1) with a null terminator, read the file into the buffer, create your sringc from the buffer, and free the buffer.

Would it be possible to replace the text with audio cues? Also, is it possible for the cues to only be displayed or played as audio when the player is not on track? This way, the cues would only be given when needed. If these could be done, I think it would be a very promising system.

Is IrrCg still being developed at all? The last check-in was almost half a year ago. Is there any continued development, or is it "done" at 0.8?

I seem to be saying this a lot recently, but irrlicht's restrictive vertex formats are hindering any potential of updating the character system to take advantage of modern technologies Seconded. I know Irrlicht is designed as a fixed-function pipe engine first and a shader-based engine second since...

In the ideal world, one would need to learn 1. Programming in C/C++ 2. Object Oriented Programming 3. Data Structures 4. Graphic Libraries 5. Sound Libraries 6. Version Systems .... By the time anyone has gotten to learning all of these topics, the fun for building games would have disappeared. I b...

But how do you get the code up to relativistic speeds?

I like this very much, it's very easy BTW Can you already use collision detection with this library?? Edit: I hope you're gonna put a forum on your site so I can ask questions beacause I'm definitely intrested and probably I'm going to use this library since I'm trying to make a game and c++ is a b...

Like the others have said, since C# was developed for .NET, it works a lot better with the framework. I don't really see any point in using C++.NET, since C++ was designed to be a lower level language than C#. C# will do a good deal of work for you that C++ will not. On a side note, C# makes it incr...

What image format has floating point light values?

For scene nodes, Irrlicht won't maintain any more references if you remove it from the scene graph, so you'll be fine. Just know that Irrlicht maintains references to things like textures, shader callbacks, etc., and killing those with your KILL macro may cause problems when Irrlicht goes to drop th...

In Soviet Russia, references count you! Anyways, I wasn't talking about your code. Irrlicht maintains lots of internal references which you have absolutely no control over . These are the reason you need to respect reference counting. Calling drop just once on your object will always kill it unless ...

Will the website be updated soon to indicate this?

Of course I know that "KILL macro will completely mess up this mechanism" but using of it is correct when You know what You do... You should still never mess with the reference count. If you drop an object more times than you grab it, the program will almost certainly crash later since an...

Better yet, just create an empty project and fill it with your code.
