Irrlicht Engine

EDIT: problems resolved! Thanks to Cobra & the irrlicht chat :)
I'll recap how it was solved in case someone else might encounter the same problems in the future:


This is how I got the Hello World example to work:
My first mistake was not installing Bullet itself (really stupid :x ) So do that ...

Oh, didn't know that! This is how someone at cplusplus.com told me to do it.
I'll first try to set up irrlicht by linking to the files then.

I'm trying to set up irrBullet in Visual C++ Express but I can't seem to get it to work. I've had trouble with setting up things like this before in visual C++, but for irrLicht I managed to get things working in a different way:
I copied the Irrlicht.dll file to my system 32 folder.
I copied ...

Thanks! I got it now
I guess I'll first decide what modeller and world editor I am going to use before I delve into the details of Quake 3 maps.

Hello everyone, I just went through all the code of the ‘Demo’ file included in the irrLicht examples and I have a few questions about it.
In the loadSceneData function there is the following bit of code:
core::matrix4 m;
m.setTranslation(core::vector3df(-1300,-70,-1249));

for ( i = 0; i!= scene ...

Yeah I noticed I'm not very comfortable with pointers yet. I understand online tutorials on pointers, classes and objects. But it's more difficult when they are used in a more complex engine.
But I think I understand things enough to at least continue with the tutorials. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for your post CuteAlien! That cleared a lot of things up for me! Sorry I asked so many things at once, but I'm glad you took the time to answer them, it helped me a lot! :D

I made the following based on http://www.irrlicht3d.org/wiki/index.php?n=Main.GlossaryOfCommonTerms and your ...

Hello everyone, I've been going through the tutorials on Irrlicht and I've read through what is currently there in the wiki. I've just gone through tutorial 7 for the third time, but I don't understand some of the parts in that tutorial. I also have some questions about how irrlicht goes through the ...

Thanks for all the replies guys! :D
I decided I'm going to try to edit the demo file from the irrLicht examples. I'll go through all the tutorials first and if I don't understand something I hope I can come to the forums for help.

I hope I'll be able to get as many features in there before my ...

In 15 days I need to get the key elements in place. 3D movement, health, ammo, sounds, enemies and the player should be able to shoot. For this I can use existing free models and maps. After this is done I can start creating my own content.

I thought it would be possible (but difficult) to make ...

Hmmm, yeah I was afraid of this. Maybe I'll manage if I use an existing game engine? Or even use a pre written fps game and create new content for it? I would make a more simple 2D game if I could, but the 3D first person element is a key feature for my project.

The thing with using a pre made game ...

Hello everyone,
I need to make a First Person game for a project and I am thinking of using irrLicht for this. But I'm not sure what else I need to make it work (engines, libraries ect.)

The game I need to make requires the following:
- 3D environments with 3D movement (I prefer real 3D with actual ...
