Irrlicht Engine

> After I asked how to handle GameObjects and their SceneNodes, i've got a new problem.

SO - what's the solution???

silly question here:

sceneNodeStar->setParent(sceneNodeRoot);
...
sceneNodeRoot->addChild(sceneNodeStar);

is that really required? Looks to me like "shooting through your chest into your foot".

> ... spacecraft class wraps the scene node and its representation in the physics engine. Yes- these are "components" then of my spacecraft class, which would be something like an "entity". But with a gameobject (entity) like this i would have to loop over all gameobjects myself,...

This is interesting, because i have the same "problem" for some time now (without achiving anything). I am not talking about map or vector, but about "Gameobjects". If you begin with these, you end with thinking about Entyties, Components and all that stuff, specially when integr...

The function "getRelativeTransformationMatrix" returns a reference to the current relative transformation matrix.
So it should be possible to change it.

Got it! I changed the stl loader in the shader-pipeline branch similar to the TerrainSceneNode. If during loading the number of indices exceeds 16bit-max (65536 or a little less) then i switch to 32bit. You could also begin with 32bit, but that would be a giveaway for small meshes. And guess what - ...

> Just search for all u16 references related to indices ...

fine again - but where all?
Only in the .stl loader or all over the library?

fine - but HOW?
The stl loader uses 16bit by default and does NOT switch to 32bit indizes when the limit of 16bit is reached.

Hi, sorry to hijack this thread, but i have a similar problem with .stl files. For a customer i want to write a viewer for his data with Irrlicht. The files are HUGE. I already have tried the shader-pipeline-branch, but probably i have misunderstood something, because i get the same warnings about 1...

Hi,

in sample 21.Quake3Explorer i find the 'fastcall' convention in some .vcxproj files,
which prevents the IrrKlang library from linking. I have changed it back to 'cdecl'
and then it works.

I put this question here because i would not know where to put it else. The trunk version 5175 did compile with Visual Studio but NOT with gcc. We now have version 5176 which addresses this issue by adding missing include headers. Maybe i am confused because i ran out of coffee yesterday, but WHY di...

It must have something to do with the Demo itself, because all other examples run fine. Maybe it's because BEFORE the castle scene there is the GUI and on switching to the castle scene something is not "reset" properly. OR it's because the Demo is the only example with a spheremap in it an...

Hi, lately i read about Entity-Component-Systems. My question is HOW to apply such a concept together with Irrlicht. In Unity for example every Entity at least has a Position-Component (and more components for Movement, Physics, Sound, Rendering, ...). In Irrlicht i would not know how to to that. Th...

When i checkout with GIT or SVN i get different sources ( specially regarding "irrPP" ).
So - which is the "right" one?

Tech Demo with newest 'trunk' ( compiled with gcc/MinGW and VS2010 ): with DirectX 9 there are no shadows any more, with OpenGL the whole scene looks like having a "spheremap" as material. It must have something to do with the demo itself, because all other examples look ok to me ( e.g. 08...
