Irrlicht Engine

Good replies there... "whaaaa you are all lazy whaaaa".

You have no idea what I am doing. And you have no idea why. Remaking an old game is a great thing to do if you are trying to learn and most people here are only just beginning with game programming. So quit being such a flaming fucktard and ...

"WHaaaaaaaaa..you are not doing what I want whaaaaaaa!!"

Narcissism

Wild stab:

say X = 10.76

X = X - int(X);

X is now 0.76

H1 = height at X
H2 = height at X + 1

Final_Height = ((H1*(1-X)) + (H2*X));

Yes, the detail texture is just a regular texture, although it mipmaps exceptionally well. The shadows are in the color map.


Here is the code:

ITerrainSceneNode* terrain = smgr->addTerrainSceneNode("media/h_map.bmp");
terrain->setScale(core::vector3df(15, 3.0f, 15));
terrain->setMaterialFlag ...

Here is a screenshot of the result. Vertex colors and detail texture in OpenGL:

Oh, cool! And, duh, I should have known. It just didnt occur to me for some reason. Cheers.

This means I can dispense with the colormap texture and save a texture layer.

Alternately, if someone knows how to load a height map as a static octtree, I would settle for that, because I cant get the LOD-popping under control anyway.

Hey, I've been trying to set vertex colors on a terrain, but it goes all funky and wonky no matter what I do.

Clues?

here is my latest attempt:


ITerrainSceneNode* terrain = smgr->addTerrainSceneNode("media/h_map.bmp");

terrain->setScale(core::vector3df(15, 2.0f, 15));
terrain ...

LOL

George Lucas. You sir, are a moron.

If I remember correctly, Nicos intention is for irrlicht to be light and simple to use, so chucking in stuff that isn't strictly needed for 3d rendering is counter productive.

Perhaps you would be better off getting involved in the communities that centre on modding quake I/II (which are GPL now as ...

If you do maths on paper or deal with stuff like that, the intuitive conversion is to imagine a paper with a diagram lying on your desk. Z then becomes height.

But in the world of computer games, programmers usually start with 2D games projected on an upright screen. The intuitive conversion then ...

Given what he has posted before, I think he is writing a sort of IDE for developing with Irrlicht.net. Might be nice for newbies if he does it well.

You cant really patent ideas either. Patents cover inventions and designs involving a process - a new way or method to acheive a certain end.

You cant copyright an idea.

Copyright covers the rights to duplicate artistic expresions afixed to a physical medium. I suppose you could write it down, but then someone else could write his own version just the same. You copyright only covers your expression.

Maybe this applies?

That is... is the .NET framework even installed on the box?
