Irrlicht Engine

If you have a .net wrapper you will be able to use Irrlicht from any .net language. I very much doubt there would be any tutorials for using Irrlicht with VB.NET though. I'm not convinced that language lends itself very well to 3d application development. If you think C++ is too big of a step from V...

Thanks, I do it this way. I would like to change it without generating a new surface, but I guess its impossible. Iterrainscenenode->getMesh()->getMeshbuffer()->getVertices() And then modify the vertices in the array. Wouldn't that work? The terrain node has dynamic lod, so the meshbuffer is consta...

loadHeightmap allows you to set the vertex colour iirc.

EDIT: nevermind I'm used to Allman style indentation. Damn you K&R!!!

Well, seeing the Nullpointer in the error obviously tells that either the device pointer is bogus If something is corrupting his memory then the pointer may very well have been invalidated. But it can't hurt to check if your device is indeed set. or the memory read file couldn't be created (which o...

Acki is using WinXP and minGW. ... And are you using the precompiled version of Irrlicht or did you compile it yourself? maybe I should also mention that I'm using a selve-compiled version of Irr1.7.1 in release mode... ;) Self compiled seems to be the way to go here. I'd say try that if you haven'...

"The moral of the story" - If a code works on one machine but not on the other - its a bug or its your fault :( . Your code with the "char version" isnt working . Lets take a float pointer. The code seems ok :D This is not Ok. :cry: Unhandled exception at 0x00661eff in OpenGLDia...

Larger sizes should work as expected, I did work with huge terrains some time ago. Was just to make sure that it's not the problems here. I didn't check any of the code for real, just checking with my eyes. No more time for anything else, sorry. Also no time for the debugging of the terrain node ye...

Success! It all looks quite good in Irrlicht with this standard texture. Now I guess I'm going to have to try some different algorithms such as perlin noise. Hoping to perhaps turn this thing into a terrain generation library someday. Big thanks for all the support guys. I will try your code . Isnt ...

Uuuuhm okaaaay. I just rebuilt Irrlicht engine in debug mode to start debugging my issue. Now everything works fine though. I'll try to rebuild in release mode as well and see if it is a compiler setting issue. Using my terrain generating function doesn't give the desired result yet. but at least I'...

Even if no values would be generated, the array could be used. So it's obviously something else. Just try a debugger. I have been using a debugger. But since I used the precompiled version of irrlicht it doesn't have debug info built into it so I can only step through my own code atm. I'm going to ...

What plaform/IDE/compiler are you using? I'll be trying with your function just to make sure it isn't my terrain generation at fault here. EDIT: It does not work for me. still getting a buffer overflow. Even after I disable all my generation code and replace it with your function. I'm using microsof...

I'm about to give up on this. Can't seem to get it to work. Whenever I call the loadHeightMapRAW() function everything goes wrong. I don't get any errors from any of the other code if I comment out the call to loadHeightMapRAW(). Heres the complete code. All I excluded is the code that generates the...

You don't have to cast addresses to void*, just take the address. And the size is sizeof(elementtype)*elementcount. Just make sure you use the correct numbers as RAW loader params as well, and don't give the RAW image to the usual constructor right away. By correct numbers you mean the amount of bi...
