Irrlicht Engine

I wanted to render a scene and have a GUI component semi-transparent over the top of it. Is this possible in Irrlicht?

Well I'm starting to get something out of it:     Prompt>Python 2.6.5 Stackless 3.1b3 060516 (release26-maint, Feb 15 2012, 09:11:40) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. (Shell) a = 2 Prom...

Yeah I switched the code over to using an ITimer*. That gave me back the wonderful, blinking cursor. So lesson learned in co-opted Irrlicht source code.

This kind of blows my mind. How does one make that kind of thing happen?

I ripped out the Irrlicht text box source into my own project to modify into something like a script console (see advanced forum). It was mostly building fine, except the timing code for the cursor: 1>CustomEditBox.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static unsigned int __c...

After a lot of sleuthing around I found how Blender does their own Python console. They aren't using the cmd module but actually the code module like I had used in my first experiments. They take over the streams and have their own stuff in place. It looks like the standard with Python text input fu...

Of course first thing in I clone the edit box source file into a project and the linker can't find getTime() anymore. Good old magic compilation settings. I guess I'll have to define the code in my Irrlicht project, build the DLL, then link it into my test app. I can't for the life of me figure what...

I think I'm about to bite a big bullet I've been putting off for a very long time. I've put a lot of time into integrating Python as a scripting language for my little game engine. Most of my time has been in cooperating with Python. Since I started doing that, I've learned about Python's fickle nat...

Does irrBullet expose the rayTest stuff in some fashion from Bullet? I wanted to do some immediate line collision tests in the engine to make different game logic decisions.

It doesn't appear to me the cube's center is the origin. The translation looks okay, and I superimposed some 3d lines. Everything implied that it was using the center of the cube as the origin. I figured out the scaling was taking effect before the rotation in the transformations. So I wanted to use...

I don't know how you're doing your scaling or what bizarre results you get so I can only guess. The matrix rotation and scaling happen around the cube's local origin before translation (or, you could say it spins and scales around its absolute position after positioning it) but the unit cube is not...

That looks like it gives me the proper angle. Phew that was much easier. :p My issue now is that the scaling I'm using is wrong. It does all kinds of bizarre stuff, but it certainly does not make the unit cube touch both of those points. I've tried using the normalized vector as well and gotten no g...

I wanted to use something like a cuboid--a thin, 3d rectangle to connect between two 3d points. They idea is it would be a 3d cursor. I'm trying to manipulate the position, rotation, and scale vectors of an Irrlicht-generated cube to get this. Position and scale are easy: average the coordinates for...

If you have not grab()'ed a reference to it then it will be automatically be deleted when it's no longer used. Assuming you didn't do anything special that means when you remove it from the scenemanager the node will be removed. Note that the mesh might still be in the mesh-cache as well as texture...

I see in the documentation I'm not supposed to drop one of these when I use the addAnimatedMeshScene node call--since the name does not start with "create." But now I have a pointer for one, so what do I do? I assume if I don't want to work with that mesh anymore, then I can just delete it...
