True 3d sound

I'd love to see cAudio or a wrapper for SDL to pick up on this:

I noticed 3d surround sound really didn't help make 3d audio better in games. Perhaps some smart stereo software could do it?

Hmmm, I do not see too much interest in the project. I am closing it. You don't have to close it, you've got some nice mockups and good ideas. My 2 cents: I'd focus on community aspects. Voting and reviewing irrlicht projects would be great. There's no community driven irrlicht portal with thumbnai...

Protip: usually when they say "linux" they probably mean Linux console (bash). Install linux on an old computer, learn how to ssh into it and apt-get software. Use apt-get to install DHCP, smb, media server, apache and gcc. It's pretty fun and it's more constructive then watching porn. The...

Except when the newest version has a user interface that's so much easier to work with. Using hotkeys in blender you'll be faster at modeling than any UI. the reason why i chose blender is the hotkeys. i can practically make models using only the keyboard. :) He does have a point though, blender is...

Try changing matrix4 to a Matrix<f64>. I've noticed some flakey behavior with 32 bit floating point matrices in 1.7.

Cool, that intext directive turns up some useful stuff, never knew about that :) Well anyway, I converted all my shaders, took me two days but still it was easier than I imagined. Now I need to dig out my netbook to test... I'm interested to see how well it turned out. I assumed that the hardware l...

@pc0de Just ignore the people complaining about lack of 2.5 support. You're 100% correct in waiting till the API gets finalized.

Post processing is like makeup. Too much and she looks like a whore, but just a little is perfect. Of course the underlying structure is more important than what's on top.

Switch away from DevCpp. It's outdated and buggy. Use Visual Studio or Code::Blocks I'd guess the .libs were built for a newer gcc, so this should fix it. Linking is always nasty. Make sure you're not setting the libs to only debug/release. Make sure they're in the correct folder. Make sure they ha...

Changing MaterialType does not work

I want to change mesh->getMesh()->getMesh(0)->getMeshBuffer (0)->getMaterial ().MaterialType = video::EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR; to mesh->getMesh()->getMesh(0)->getMeshBuffer (0)->getMaterial ().MaterialType = video::EMT_SOLID; But it stays the same after I modify it. Others have had this issue too ...
