Re: Find the UpperRightCorner & LowerLeftCorner - rotated Re

I've not actually looked but I think I get the concept. Can't you just copy/paste and make a new function, to reverse the side? Like it's taking the same top, but you've "swapped" the left or right for it?
Maybe someone who knows what they're saying should answer.

Re: Loading multiple objects from single mesh

I see. Ok so my fear was true, but I'm glad I know.
Therefore, say I wanted to make a city, prebuilt. I'd need to load the terrain first, then each building individually? And from there I could simply call on it from the main loop? Makes sense, thanks hybrid.

Loading multiple objects from single mesh

Well, bad topic title, something probably been discussed before, but I'm looking for some ideas. Now I did read, at least for shadows, that every "object"(think the word was "mesh") generates its own shadow. Ok. Currently I just threw together a terrain map file in blender, an ac...

Definition of game developer/designer/programmer

Ok I think I've been using these 3 words wrong. Programmer does the code, little else. Designer gives the people the "idea" of the game, and they make it so.. what's a developer? A mixture? And as well, another myth I hear is designer!=programmer I disagree. They can be both at times, so l...

Re: Loading textures onto files.

The texture files are relative to the executable (or wherever the program is being run) Thank you. I'm doing it wrong. Even with the brick.bmp file in the executable's folder, I cannot get it to load. Same error message when running it through Code::Blocks, and the EXE needs Irrlicht stuff probably...

Loading textures onto files.

Excuse me while I get beaten up for asking this amateur hour question.. Where do applications look for texture files? Inside where the binary is located? Because if so it does not like my texture. I'm wanting to replace Sydney on the tutorial with a cubeSceneNode with a simple brick texture, to see ...

Scaling HME's bmp heightmap in Irrlicht

I'm kinda confused on this. I used example 12, TerrainRendering, for my benchtest. I mean, it works; it uses a heightmap already, so I figured I'd put my own heightmap into it, see if i can get good results. Well, the HME program does not make terrains like the example's terrain heightmap has it. It...

Try this:

Code: Select all

video::SColor(0,255,255,0)
for both darkest and lightest inside the BoxEmitter.

255 for all 3 slots, on a computer, is white. all 0, the absence of color, is black. that is the RGB of yellow in MS Paint on windows 7.

try it.

I'm compiling it under debug and there is nothing checked. But it doesn't work under either debug or release. Course it's MinGW, most recent automated installer. Otherwise the project has the "show all warnings" thing checked.

Undefined createDevice() reference

Hello. New problem: I am trying to make my own GUI, just a button to test it...and I get this problem. It says there is an undefined reference to the createDevice() thing. Here is my code. It occurs, per Code::Blocks, that the problem is on line 114. #include "include\irrlicht.h" #include ...
