Re: Blender->Collada->Irrlicht : no textures

I'm using a nightly build from about a week or two ago.

Best/most practical format for levels?

I'm making a first-person grid-based dungeon crawler like Wizardry, Bard's Tale, Dungeon Master, etc. I'm looking for advice on what would be the most practical program/format for levels. They'll be mostly indoors and won't be all that complex. All I really need is basic level geometry (remember, gr...

Re: Where to start?

I'm in the same position as you. I've mostly done text games (text adventures and roguelikes and whatnot) because I enjoy working on gameplay and design more than graphics. However now I want to make a game that would probably be best done with 3D graphics, so here I am learning Irrlicht. I'd say go...

Re: Blender->Collada->Irrlicht : no textures

Well, Xcode seems to be able to read Collada files and display their contents. The order of the entity folders is: Geometries Materials Cameras Lights Animations Is this order the problem? If so, is there some way to load Collada files exported by Blender into Irrlicht correctly? I don't see any obv...

Blender->Collada->Irrlicht : no textures

I'm no expert in Blender or Irrlicht, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but when I add textures in Blender, the scene loads up fine, but there are no textures--everything is flat (with lighting). I changed mapping to UV, as I read that this was needed, but I have no clue what to do now. Any hel...

Here are some videos showing what I'm going for. This one is from the latest Wizardry game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5xKt_M8zGQ&t=56s This demo was apparently done in Irrlicht, but I can't find any info about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYiCB8DZOFE I assumed it'd be possible, I was...

First-person grid-based dungeon-crawler RPG like Wizardry?

I'm looking to make an old-school Wizardry-style game with a modern-ish 3D engine like Etrian Odyssey or any of the other similar games for DS, PSP, or PS3. I'm wondering how practical it'd be to do this in Irrlicht. I'm not sure how I'd represent maps and level geometry. I'm thinking I could make a...
