Irrlicht Engine

Err... you're kind of asking for the whole package, you want power, ease of use (for beginners), and you want it to be flexible. I think you can only pick two according to the cosmic laws :wink: If you want something for beginners, I suggest using the blender game engine as a starting point. It has:...

I will post updates as we progress through the project

In all seriousness: Good Luck

Sorry, but it hurts less when you fall, when we don't let you climb so high.

... Panda is normally interpreted. ... From what I know, the engine itself is precompiled, but any application you want create you can create entirely with Python script, although you still have the option to use c++ code. P.S. Now I realize why Pirates of the Caribbean was so graphically slow on m...

I think this is what you are looking for

The tutorials explain how to do this. Ok so is it the custom scene node tutorial that I should use to draw my own primitives? Thanks Pretty much. There might be some more obscure, closer to the OpenGL backend methods, but you should pass meshes to the scene manager as an ISceneNode derived object s...

The tutorials explain how to do this.

I've used panda d before. It's just as much work, if not more than irrlicht. Although an upside to panda is that is already comes with Python script embedded.
I also like irrlichts' license better.

Wasn't this explained the tutorials.... I'm pretty sure it is.

*one moment*

Yes, tutorial 4, movement.

PLEASE double check that anything you have problems in is not already explained in the tutorials.

Oh, could it be that you did load the archive with 'ignorePaths==true'? In that case, only one file will obviously exist for a given name. Please re-check with correct addArchive parameters. That's what I was thinking, how can it possibly get them [the files] confused if they should have different ...

Irrlicht is just a graphics engine. For any networking you will need another networking library. Look into enet? I find it is a good starting point, and you don't have to work with raw winsocket code files.

shame there was no irrlicht refrence

It's funny because it's true.

No problem if you have any more questions regarding randomly generated environments/props just ask, like I said I too am working on a large project that has yet to be announced which involves this stuff.

I am currently working on a random world generator, I won't go much into detail but it generates based on biomes,

urban
industrial

Look into the Poisson Disc algorithm.

Well, just remember there's more than one way to do something. ^.^ I've taken a look at CSkyBoxSceneNode && CSkyDomeSceneNode source code and it should be fairly easy to modify them to do things you want them to do. Also, irrlicht isn't perfect and has bugs, so it won't always make you do th...
