Irrlicht Engine

I'd like to understand how the rotation of a node works in Irrlicht. What I'm trying to model is a billiards cue stick. It should always point towards the ball, but the user can rotate it around in sort of a hemisphere. The cue stick's reference point is its tip, the tip that hits the ball. So I've ...

Nvm, found it (m_driver->draw3DBox()). Now I have a weird problem. My nodes are set with no parent. I therefore assume getPosition() returns their absolute position, since having no parent == having 0,0,0 as the reference position, if I am not mistaken. Now when I draw them, my bounding boxes appear...

Hi, I have created some custom bounding boxes (aabbox3df) based on some calculations on the geometry. Now I'd like to verify that they are correct by displaying them. I know that you can do: node->setDebugDataVisible(scene::EDS_BBOX); to show a model's bounding box, but here it's not a model's bound...

I'm trying to implement a camera that moves on a horizontal plane, with the arrow keys of the keyboard. I figured that if I move the camera's position and target by the same amount, it should do the trick. Well it sort of does, but the camera seems to tilt slightly around its forward axis. When I mo...

Thanks for the constructive comments. My server will be able to host multiple games simultaneously. This is why it needs to hold several different game states, and thus several SceneManagers. The reason for using Irrlicht despite not having any rendering to do, is that the clients are coded using Ir...

I am coding the server for my game. It must support several games running in parallel. I figured out each game should have its own SceneManager. I cannot have a video device for each game, nor do I want any, the server doesn't need to render anything. However the only way I see to get a sceneManager...

Is it possible to change the Logger Irrlicht uses? Say, implementing irr::ILogger and passing it to the device. The problem is, there's a getLogger() but not a setLogger() and I don't see a way to hand in a new logger.

Hello, I am hosting irrlicht inside a WinForms application. I am trying to get keyboard input. I've followed the tutorial at http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tut004.html to create an event receiver. It does get events in general, but when I press a key on the keyboard it doesn't receive any. Am I for...

So you're basically compiling Irrlicht with the /clr switch on + a few wrapper classes? Sorry I don't know much about C++/CLI, but I don't see how you can call in native C++ code without P/Invoke or COM interop. In any case, in the case of my project, the game code will be entirely written in native...

Updating to the latest Catalyst did not fix it. However, switching from OpenGL to Direct3D9 did.

Weird.

The weirdest thing about this is that it works fine on 2 laptops I've tested it on. It crashes on my main desktop. Will try updating to the latest Catalyst drivers and see if it fixes that.

I'm having trouble hosting unmanaged Irrlicht into a C# Winforms application. I've consulted the guide at http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=29571 , unfortunately it uses C++/CLI and my project has to be in C#. So basically here's my code on the C# side of things: Thread gameLoop...

I believe I have found what is causing the issue (although I need to test it). I am not locking the context (need to create a special object from the Java context and canvas handle). Anyway, please answer this question because I did not find it answered in any of the Irrlicht documentation: How are ...

I host Irrlicht inside a java.awt.canvas. The code to resize seems to cause crashes; the weird thing is, if I put a breakpoint in the resize method, the crash doesn't happen; it only happens when I let the code run without breakpoints. Here is my resize code: void resize(int width, int height) { irr...

I am trying to convert a game I wrote last year to Irrlicht. I used a custom 3ds loader that worked with 3ds models exported as .bin or .txt. I don't have the original .3ds models I used, so I'm stuck with the .bin and .txt versions. I am wondering if it is possible to use these directly in Irrlicht...
