Irrlicht Engine

When you create the camera like this: ICameraSceneNode* camera = smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0, 100.0f, 1.0f); The third parameter is the movementspeed, in this example 1.0f. If I want the camera to move slower I can change it to 0.5f, and if I want it to move faster I can change it to 2.0f for exam...

So I've always been using openGL with irrlicht and it gives a good smooth lightning that slowly fades into dark. Recently I started using directX9 instead since I found this cool water-code snippet on this forum that required directx9 instead. Now the lightning kinda gives full 100% light with a cer...

Ah that was really easy Thx it works perfect now!

I'm using VS 2010 as well with irrlicht 1.7.1, works perfect, I haven't done anything special.

I guess this question is more about Visual Studios than Irrlicht, but you guys allways seem helpful :) I can't compile and run my program through Visual Studios, since my game then can't find the media folder where all my 3d-models etc. are located. I've set my VS to compile into a folder called the...

Thanks for the answers. Hmm, as it is right now I'm checking collision against other cubes and placement of new cubes depending on the position of the cube that I find collision against, would this still be possible to treat each seperate cube as a seperate position if I chunk them together? As it i...

Hi, so I'm working on a mine-craft clone and I got the basics working pretty good, but when I start getting a lot of cubes my FPS drops a lot. I've searched a lot about it on these forums and I found setHardwareMappingHint(EHM_STATIC). I've tried to implement it but my FPS is still low with many cub...

Ahh I see, well everything works perfect now so thanks a lot for you help

I imagine having 2 different collision animators may cause them to fight with each other, if one wants to collide and the other doesnt, or if both wants to collide with different things. So yes i guess :) (No guarantee that i'm not wrong though ;] ) After looking into my code I found that I had a c...

The cameras movespeed is 0.4, but the gravity is -10. Seems the gravity affects the player a lot more than moving would. You might try lowering the gravity. I tried the demo, and i couldn't jump at all. But then i don't know the controls either. Also, since you add the terrain selector to the meta-...

Hi guys, I'm currently working on a game-project kinda like MineCraft if you guys seen that. I create a terrain from a flat heightmap to start with, and then I place cubes on it. The problem is that I (the camera) can't jump/climb up on the cubes. If I build a nice flat area of cubes and try jumping...

Allright Thanks a lot!

I guess first thing to learn is C++. Then you'll notice that assigning a new object to an existing pointer won't do anything to the previously stored oject. So first think about what should happen with the old object. And do that, e.g. call remove on it. Then get the new mesh, and add it to the sce...

Hi, I'm having some troubles with an RTS-game that I'm making. I'm using getMesh to load a model to a mesh, but I'm not able to then change that model to another model using the same mesh. //Declaration IAnimatedMesh* objectMesh; ISceneNode* objectNode; ITriangleSelector* objectSelector; ISceneNodeA...

Ah, works perfectly. Thank you!

I'll take a look into code::blocks, thx for the tip!
