Irrlicht Engine

I hope I am not breaking any rules here.

Reading through Irrlicht forums I see quite a few posts identifying the posters as muslims. It's quite refreshing to me, as a muslim myself, to see our people engaged in game development. In my country, Bangladesh, game development is seen akin to Hollywood ...

1. Is the default ILightSceneNode per vertex based ?

2. An odd thing occurs when using ILightSceneNode to illuminate BSP maps. The walls get illuminated well but the floors and ceileings stay dark. The floors and ceilings are one single brush (aka a single mesh). In general large object with a few ...

Speaking of AI has anyone here experimented with code generation ? I had some promising results with javascript during my days as a web developer. I wrote a small generator that automated common programming tasks in java script. For example making huge switch statement. I could do a 20 condition ...

Guys, I need some help with this from the community. Puttyball is a fully completed project that is now undergoing final bug testing. I want to see this game published. Problem is other than Star Ruler I don't know any ...

This does not make any sense !

I create a message box, for example

env->addMessageBox(L"Quit?",L"Do you really want to quit?",true,EMBF_YES+EMBF_NO,0,457);

And the text part of the message box does not appear at all !

I get messagebox caption "Quit" but the "Do you really want to quit?" does ...

I have uploaded the source !


If anyone wishes to collaborate please let me know.

I am so sorry !

I meant to post this in the general discussion forums rather than clogging up the beginner programming forum.

If a kind hearted mod or admin moves this I woulld be saved from much embarrasment.

Look at Minecraft or Terraria. They have such terrible graphics yet selling huge quantities.

How much graphics does a game really need to succed commercially ? If gameplay is good do you really need any more advanced than basic fixed function materials, directx 8 lighting and stencil shadows ...

You can not see ANYTHING in BSP maps with EMT_LIGHTMAP_LIGHTING. With EMT_LIGHTMAP_LIGHTING_M4 and very strong lights used in BSP compiler like radiant you could barely make out the shape of the map. Why are meshes so extremely dark ? Should not they be just as bright in EMT_LIGHTMAP_M4 as EMT ...

Help anyone ?? Surely someone must know ?

No but it makes life a lot easier.

What's up with the weird white graphical glitches? (seen on the vending machine an some other surfaces)
Seems to me like a problem with your specular lighting

Other than that, keep working on it ;) You've already got some good results, but you still have a long road ahead

I used Blindsides ...

There is actually a seperate LEGO Quake mod. I saw it long after I started development though. 8)

My original graphics inspirations were - in order of importance.

- lack of money to make photorealistic assets

- word of padman

- a little known game called XIII....it has the most amazing comic ...

So I have completed a playable demo of my game. I have decided to call it "Xenoforge". Xenoforge is basically a Quake 2 style arcade shooter. It involves fighting aliens that were "ripped off" I mean inspired by Halo Covenant :) Right now I got the Elite and Grunt equivalents done. Xenoforge is ...

Forgive me for my ignorance but I am a true novice when it comes to use of materials. I decided to experiment with normal mapping and parallex mapping technique. After studying the code in example11 I decided to make a cube which would be Normal Mapped or Parallex Mapped. Here is the code I wrote ...
