Irrlicht Engine

oof, that was an intense debugging session. Finally figured it out. I don't know the exact details between MSVC 2010 Express' debug build and the release build, but my research yielded a couple major things. Release builds generally include compiler optimizations, as well as handling uninitialized v...

My game works fine when built under the Debug configuration in MSVC 2010 Express, but my custom scene nodes are not rendering correctly when I build under the Release config. Instead of rendering EPT_QUADS I'm getting 3d lines that look like they span the aabbox extents? I've carefully ensured that ...

Irrlicht users and admin are very nice. Nobody has pointed out how inefficient and ugly my code is : ) Anyway, I've been studying C++ and reading Scott Meyers. Improving, but I still have a long way to go. Here is another, simpler way to render wireframes on top of a mesh using a matrix.     // buil...

Solution: Implement the ISceneNodeFactory interface. I just copy and pasted from CDefaultSceneNodeFactory.h and .cpp, and changed a few things: obviously changed the name, (my)SceneNodeFactory filled the (Supported)SceneNodeTypes array with my 'casted' custom types like this:     kxSceneNodeTypes.pu...

Thanks, chrono Yeah, I've used that technique before, just casting an integer might work. But I'll try to clarify my problem. I want to use smgr->saveScene and loadScene to work with my scene. But I have custom classes that I've derived from ISceneNode. When the scene manager is loading a .irr file,...

For solution see last post. Problem: I'm deriving my custom scene node from ISceneNode and have written my own serialize and deserialize methods which add the custom properties to the IAttributes object to be written into the .irr file when calling smgr->saveScene( ... ); So far so good, I see my cu...

kxCubeNode.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall irr::scene::CShadowVolumeSceneNode::CShadowVolumeSceneNode(class irr::scene::IMesh const *,class irr::scene::ISceneNode *,class irr::scene::ISceneManager *,int,bool,float)" (??0CShadowVolumeSceneNode@scene@irr@...

I have derived my own kxCubeNode class from IMeshSceneNode. My class is basically a cut and paste from CCubeSceneNode with some modifications. I recently updated my game project to irrlicht 1.8 and now I am having a problem with CShadowVolumeSceneNode in my derived class. The relevant code from my c...

Thanks Alien,
Sometimes you just need another set of eyes

My XML writer function seems to be working fine, and is producing a file that looks like this:     <?xml version="1.0"?>       <attributes>         <int name="activeLevelNum" value="1" />         <int name="activeLevelProgress" value="2" />     </att...

That sounds right. I'm getting around 2K fps at the start of my scene, and I'm doing nothing to limit it. Turning on vsync cleared that right up :D What would be the best way to limit my fps? -see these threads -> http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44209 http://gamedev.stackexchan...

When I run my Irrlicht program, I hear this weird buzzing sound. It changes pitch and frequency along with changes in my program's state. It's not loud, but very annoying. I heard it before I implemented irrKlang, and ignored it hoping it would go away once I implemented sound in my game. But it is ...

I'd recommend just using Bullet without a wrapper. All you have to do is setup your includes, lib, and dependencies which can be tricky. But once that works, creating a physics world for your Irrlicht device is simple: #include <irrlicht.h> #include <btBulletCollisionCommon.h> #include <btBulletDyna...

Thanks codetiger!
That's exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. Will definitely look into that : )
