Irrlicht Engine

just found this post (from 2006) by accident - is this meanwhile solved somehow?

Only a question out of curiosity:

Why did you (have to) change the name extGlUseProgram to irrGlUseProgram (to get it to compile) ?

I also have a problem with the latest trunk and gcc/MinGW:

In the new file COGLCoreCacheHandler.h the function call glUseProgram(programID)
seems not to be known to the compiler.

Hi, after the last changes in trunk the Irrlicht Tech Demo won't compile any longer IF Irrklang is used ( #define USE_IRRKLANG in CDemo.h ). IrrKlang-functions have a "const char *" as first parameter (e.g. play2D). so irrKlang->play2D( mediaPath + "IrrlichtTheme.ogg", true, fals...

I have a strange problem with GCC 5: With the option "-std=c++11" i get an error in aesGladman/sha2.cpp "error: narrowing conversion ..." at "const sha2_64t k512[80] = ...". With the option "std=c++03" it is only a warning. Strange is that with gcc4.9 and &quo...

Irrlicht still has to be "compilable" with Visual Studio 2008 ( or even less, i don't know ).

Niko has an example for WxWidgets integration of Irrlicht on his webpage. VERY simple. I think the only problem was opening several windows and showing different views in it.

> Of course for multi-threading we need C++11. Good idea, but if you want to keep it "compatible" with a lower C++ version ( C++98, C++03 ) and you want to avoid Boost then you could take a small cross-platform multithreading library like TinyThread++ or ZThreads. TinyThread++ even tries t...

In case you don't know there is a tool "depends.exe" which shows all depending dlls. From the names (existend or missing) you can deduce the version. You don't have to install anything, just start depends.exe and open any .exe or .dll or drag and drop it into the window. The first time it ...

I would go for Vulkan ( and DX12 ). Metal and Mantle are too specific with Mantle already virtually "dead".

Granyte: is there a download for your "Planetary Engine"? Maybe a demo or alpha version. If it is so fantastic as it looks, you should write an article/paper about your mathematical/physical solutions. The problem of huge spaces and how to visualise them stresses EVERY grafics engine and c...

> I still not understeand why (and what you want to do).. do you have already a Idea? Yes - my idea is to FIRST understand what is POSSIBLE ( the "basics" so to say ). THEN i will know what is achievable for a game. Of course when i look at the "planetary engine" at "Granyte...

You can do

template < typename EXTERN_t, typename INTERN_t >
class Test
{
public:
Test( EXTERN_t extern );
private:
INTERN_t intern;
};

and then

typedef Test< f32, f64 > Testf;

and so on.

By the way - i have collected LOTS of articles about this problem. If you are interested, i can try to find the links and post them here. This one for example is a video that shows how they solved it in "Kerbal Space Program (made with Unity): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXTxQko-JH0 It's a ...

NOW we are talking! Thanks to both of you. I always need a "quick start" to get going. Like planing holiday - i never know where to go, but if my girlfriend chooses the target, i do the rest, hehe. > 1 Universe scene node ( an empty scene node, its parent is still the root ^^) EXACTLY what...
