Irrlicht Engine

I didn't think of the whole debug vs. release thing. Stripping symbols and optimizing for speed (O2) cut it below 5mb like you said. Good to know about the dynamic library space saving. I usually associate "dynamic libraries" with "small executable," but I guess in the long run I...

I've used Irrlicht before (to some extent) on Windows, but I figured the beginner's board would be the best place for this question since it's probably something very simple. In December I brought about my Year of Linux on Desktop, and decided it was time to get back into game development. Compiling...

Well, now I'm feeling mildly stupid. Thanks for the help anyway, but it turned out that I was using the wrong compiled DLL - the VS one, when the project was being built with Code::Blocks. Compiling Irr and using the new DLL makes everything work smoothly.

I've done some searches for this, but I haven't found anyone with the exact problem I'm having. When trying to call createAndOpenFile, the program crashes every time. The debug outputs I've added (printing 2 and 3 to standard output) confirm that this is the line causing the problem, as I get a 2 an...

Thank you for the suggestions! I'd been looking at the first one and wasn't sure if it actually supported custom sizes or not, but evidently it does... the other options also look attractive.

I'm aware that Irr native bitmap fonts cannot be scaled, but is there a good way around this? The only obvious solutions to me are using different sized fonts (which wastes texture memory and makes certain animation effects all but impossible) and drawing each different size of text to a render targ...

Hmm. Finally got around to messing with this feature (had to get around a computer issue first), but it doesn't seem to work as I'd hoped. From what I can see, ITextSceneNode displays text into static 2D space (just like drawing text in a GUI) but at whatever point on the screen matches the equivale...

Didn't even realize that was there, but that sounds just about right... thanks!

I've found Irr's text drawing functions simple enough - create a font, call draw() with a string, and the requested text appears on the screen. This works fine for basic GUIs, but I'm wondering if it's possible to skew/rotate drawn text, or better yet, draw the text temporarily onto a model so it ca...

After a little experimentation (and moving the implementations to .cpp files), I was finally able to get the project to compile properly. Thank you for the help!

This is cameraview.h: #ifndef __camera_view_h #define __camera_view_h #include <irrlicht.h> #include <iostream> #include "gameclass.h" class View { public: void setPosition(const vector3df &pos); void setRotation(const vector3df &rot); View(void); ~View(void); void setFOV(float arc...

I guess this board is for general programming questions as well, so this seemed like the most appropriate section to post my problem. I'm trying to use an object-oriented approach for split screen, with a class called View that can be preconfigured to a specific screen area. Its render() function wo...
