Irrlicht Engine

> You need of course to know how to move the camera in irrlicht
Yes,

> and how to move the world
NOOOOO!

THATS'S exactly the point and my original question.

Segments and chunks and whatever come later.

> Instead you start moving around every node in the world. Exactly! But HOW? > You can do that by adding a parent node ... Yes - how about this damn DummyScenenode as a "root" to all objects in my world (what about the background?) which has no terrain but mainly spacecraft and maybe a pla...

Ahumpf - i never get a straight answer to this problem.
I am not interested in segments or other stuff, only keeping the camera in the center of my world.
Let's just say i want to UNDERSTAND it and how to DO it with Irrlicht.

Avoiding floating point errors on long distances (you know - my long awaited space game, hehe). > You might try adding the whole world as childs to the camera. Yes - but then i still would have to write my own camera controller to "backtransform" the world around it, and i don't know how t...

Hi, sorry to ask this question again, but this time i do it explicitely, because in the past i got no answer. I would like to move the world relatively to the camera. To maybe make things a little easier, without terrain (i don't know if terrain is a special case, but we can ignore it first). I was ...

That works for DirectX9. The problem with DirectX11 is that it is included in the "Microsoft Windows Kits" now (no special DirectX11-SDK any more). That itself is not the real problem (only changing the include and lib paths), but it does not compile any longer because of strange defines M...

WOW! - you put a LOT of work into this.
Hard to read and for me to understand but full of valuable "pieces".
Will have to take some weeks vacation to look through.

> to solve floating point errors I just move everything around the player instead of the player itself I have tried something like that but failed. I would be VERY interested in an example how to do it. Regarding XML reading: there are 2 methods - DOM and SAX. DOM loads all into memory (which you do...

Same experience with a layer / wrapper for audio here. You are right - that's why PAL "only" provides a common subset of functionality. And that's probably also the reason why the combination PAL / Newton does not show it's full potential in comparisons. I mentioned IrrBullet above because...

I have a question on building the shader-pipeline branch with DirectX11 + mingw. There is another engine Urho3D which recently also has DirectX11 support and it compiles with a "newer" version of mingw without including any DirectX-SDK from Microsoft (if you compile with Visual Studio then...

I have NOTHING against the Newton engine! Quite the opposite. I like the fact that it has a C interface, so you can compile it with Visual Studio and then link it with gcc/mingw (i don't get it to compile with mingw). What i meant was that i would like to have a layer (like PAL) so i can switch the ...

There really seems to be an advantage if one can read - thanks!

By the way - where can i download version 3.13?
I update from trunk every so often, but i cannot find a "ready" package for 3.13.

The Delta3D Engine uses PAL as a layer for several physics engines beneath. Of course a layer has some drawbacks, but at least you are free to choose which physics engine to use. And PAL even uses Irrlicht for its benchmarks and has a sample how to integrate it with Irrlicht. I once thought about us...
