Irrlicht Engine

Awesome!
Added a GetMesh() method to my scene node that creates the mesh on the fly.

Thanks a lot!

I used the CustomSceneNode example to create a... well... a custom scene node. My question is: Is it possible to export a such a scene node to a file like .obj or similar format, so that I can open it with 3DStudio/Blender or some other 3D editing software? At least for now, I'm not interested in ex...

I got it to work. I don't know exactly why (not that I care much), but it should be done like this. With the closeDevice inside the loop:     IrrlichtDevice* device = createDevice(EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<u32>(512, 384));     device->setWindowCaption(L"Launcher");     IVideoDriver* driver =...

Hi, I want to create a launcher window for a game I'm starting to develop. The idea is to have a window show up when the program is launched, where you can set the screen size, choose windowed or fullscreen, etc, then you click a play button and the game is launched with the selected settings. So I ...

Got it to work. What I was missing was to copy C:\irrlicht-1.8\bin\Win32-VisualStudio\Irrlicht.dll to the project folder. And this directive was indeed necessary: #ifdef _IRR_WINDOWS_ #pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib") #pragma comment(linker, "/subsystem:windows /ENTRY:mainCRTStartu...

Hi, I want to create a VS2010 Irrlicht project from scratch outside the irrlicht folder. I extracted irrlicht 1.8 to C:\irrlicht-1.8 I created a new project in C:\repos\test\test.vcxproj It is an empty console project I went to Project > Properties > Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories and a...

I would like to show a minimap image of my scene.
It should be done in realtime since the map is randomly generated.

I tried drawing a very small image for every tile of my map. But this slowed the game to less than 5 FPS.

Any ideas on how should I do it?

Here's my code. void Animation::draw2DImage(IVideoDriver *driver, ITexture* texture,         rect<s32> sourceRect,         position2d<s32> position,         position2d<s32> rotationPoint,         f32 rotation,         vector2df scale,         bool useAlphaChannel,         SColor color) {         SMa...

Thanks

Sorry if this is not the correct board to post this.

I tried to send a PM, but now it is in the "Outbox" folder, marked as "Sent: Tue Oct 25, 2011 10:40 pm"
Shouldn't it be in the "Sent messages" folder?
Was my message sent or not?

Regards!

Hey Sullivan! Back when I was writing games for a living, I used the "black rectangle" technique more than once. It may be a little primitive, but it's simple and effective. And I'm sure there are other commercial games out there using it (not only the ones made by me). The simplest answer...

I started developing a 2D game and I wanted to flip characters horizontally without having to have 2 images of every character (looking to the right and looking to the left). I thought that the code in this post would do the trick if I used negative values for the scale. At first it didn't, but afte...

I finally solved this issue using some code from Lonesome Ducky: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32388&start=15 My idea was to use negative scale values in order to flip the image. Initially it didn't work. But after some trial an error, accidentally I figured that ...

Tried that.
Didn't work.

Thanks anyway

Oh... forgot to say I am using this to render the character:

rect<s32> sprite(currentFrame * size.X, 0, (currentFrame + 1) * size.X - 1, size.Y - 1);
driver->draw2DImage(image, position, sprite, 0, SColor(255, 255, 255, 255), true);
