Irrlicht Engine

Some people swear by bullet sharp, but as you say - lack of documentation.

I'm currently using IrrlichtLime 0.9.1 release with irrlicht 1.8.0 Alpha. If i were to upgrade to the latest Lime & accompanying Irrlicht combo then: 1 - would an extensive rewrite be required or just some minor tweaks? 2 - would it fix that annoying FPS Camera jump-fly problem? Flying Jump - st...

Vector3Df pos = vertices[i].Position; pos.Y += 1f; vertices[i].Position = pos; I Don't Speak C, but can't you reduce this to save computing power or ticks? i know it doesn't sound like a lot but with 16,000 verts it can add up. Vector3Df pos = vertices .Position; pos.Y += 1f; vertices .Position = p...

I'm trying to figure out how to add/remove gravity to the FPS camera on demand. As far as i can tell, you make 2 animators. one animator is CreateCollisionResponseAnimator WITH gravity (Gravity = n ) the other animator is CreateCollisionResponseAnimator WITHOUT gravity (Gravity = 0) To toggle gravit...

I'd like to second what Ace247 has said. My project currently has a 500,000 unit map (500k x 500k) i have 1irr unit = approx 1 foot. so the map is (500000 feet = 94.6969697 mile ) approx 100 x 100 miles. or (500000ft = 152.4 km) = 152.4x152.4 no problems. You may consider doing the following: 1 - sl...

Do i understand this correctly then?

. I speak VB and don't speak C, so i'm a bit fuzzy on IDBitMask. i understand it's a bitwise comparison, but what i'm fuzzy on is: Suppose you set IDBitMask to x and you cast a ray from pointA->pointB on the way through A->B the ray first hits a surface with IDBitMask y then past that (if it kept go...

Like a charm, Hybrid. Tested with 100 trees and i only face a 10FPS drop.

Thanks again.

I'm doing both: collision response animator for An FPS camera and get triangle for collision tweaks. i also will be adding another mesh and selector later for glass breakage (detection only applied to bullets and area of effect explosions) ok: so I make a meta triangle selector as the "all in o...

it checks the 100 to see which are being used. if they are being used then it adds a selector to them. let me rephrase part of it in psudocode: ( only plantnodes[0] is being used)                 selector = smgr.CreateMetaTriangleSelector               ' q3node = main map mesh. make a selector for i...

it says check to see if up to 100 are used.
but I'm only using one.
the rest are being skipped.

I can add 100 trees from my map editor, save and add 100 more. then load them up in the game map using the saved files. The next step was to make them solid. This would be exceptionally nice for non-plant objects - such as a barrel, box, or an entire building. The problem is that my FPS is dropping ...

I used Tutorial 6 to see how to have the transparency color of a billboard automatically determined by a specific pixel using driver->makeColorKeyTexture(Texture, position2d<s32>(0,0)); so that my texturer can have an easier time with the images. but i'm having an issue with the Transparent_Add_Colo...

Ah! Gotcha.
