Irrlicht Engine

Just popping in for a moment after remembering something.

I'm wondering if 1.8 has an extra z-index option by default (to prevent z-fighting), or something similar? I modified CSceneManager.h and re-compiled Irrlicht a few years ago that prevents z-index fighting for flat nodes in the same plane by ...

Great. Fast and simple. Thanks!

The "save as draft" feature should probably be removed though... it only confuses imo.

Even when you preface that with some explanation, this sounds like:

"[to a 9th grader] No, you did it wrong. I think it's covered in 3rd grade."

A good way to end a conversation, tough.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for (probably not.. but worth a try), but try/look at this:

"RTS/simulation overhead camera function."

changing the up vector is the way to go for prevent gimbal lock, why didn't you put that in code snippets? of course, is much simpler changin only the "lookAt" and the "position" parameter, but there is no reason for not updating the up vector.
I didn't feel it was very good. When I initially ...

I can only hope to be as brilliant a programmer as you, Luben.

It's an overhead-type camera that I made for my game.

First it sets the X, Y value, then rotates individually on all three axes, and finally it zooms in. There is no gimbal lock in this camera; it allows full 360 degree rotation on each of the three axes.

Any tips or code are welcome!

Edit ...

Assuming he knows how to make such a shader and apply it in Irrlicht.

If anyone gets around to making this or something similar, I would be very interested in using it!

irr::video::E_LOST_RESSOURCE -> irr::video::E_LOST_RESOURCE

The description also has "ressources"...

I think your problem is in Windows, too.

Here are cases where I have had odd problems due to alt+tab/focus events:

When starting my program, if I alt+tab out before it finishes loading, the program crashes.

As before -- alt+tabbing twice out of a full-screen program with a different res than the ...

I guess it's just an issue of no anti-alias for draw2drect, and/or no fractional pixel positions..

Or perhaps something was fired in the incorrect order.

Ah, so it's the DLL that's saying that?

I'll try to find the Irrlicht switch and recompile... (or maybe you could tell me where the options are?)

(With the 2.0 option, I get "unknown error" or something)

Edit: or.... do I need both the Irrlicht 1.1 shaders support AND the DLL support?

Edit 2 ...

I'm using 1.7.2.

After manually searching 54 pages in two threads, (since the search function doesn't specify which page, this is all I found on the subject:

Yep, those errors usually indicate it's getting zero-length strings for the shaders. Glad you got it sorted.

I don't really know how that ...

Like... "horizontal = up.crossProduct(view);"
