Irrlicht Engine

I appreciate the fixes, thank you. The cloning problems were going to be an issue.

Thanks! I was heading down that path anyway. Good to know that it's a good idea. Irrlicht's serialization scheme takes a bit of digging around, but its great once you figure it out.

Irrlicht's device has a timer built into it. just do . It keeps track of how many milliseconds have passed since the program opened, and can be stopped and started.

My main hangup against having separate game objects is still that I'm throwing away irrlicht's serialization scheme.

This is a general design question. I've created a simple interface that connects Bullet and Irrlicht objects/nodes, which I call PhysicalObject. A lot of objects in the game are going to derive from this class. Basically I want to know that are the pros and cons of having PhysicalObject "have-a...

I'm trying to put the heightmap classes of irrlicht and bullet together, but apparently I'm bad at vector algebra. For some reason I just can't manipulate the coordinates so that they match up perfectly. I really don't want to get ya'll to do the math for me, but I've tried so many ways and I can't ...

I forgot to mention that I bound the target and rotation with playCamera->bindTargetAndRotation(true); What do you mean by "up vector?" Edit: ok apparently explicitly setting the target is better than binding the target, when you've got multiple updates like I do. Fixed the problem. I feel...

So I've read a lot of posts about FPS cameras, but I haven't found any that I found useful. I'm using a btkinematiccharactercontroller because I finally got it to work, and it seems to do everything that I want. Instead of attaching an fps camera to it, I've decided to write my own code for camera r...

Haven't used irrBullet, just the normal Bullet, but you should be able to set a collision shape and scale/manipulate for your controller. Also, my code for updating physics objects is much longer,involving actually making sure the bounding boxes that Irrlicht calculates matches up with Bullet's coll...

I have a very weird problem that I can't begin to figure out how to solve. I downloaded Blindside's well-reviewed shader(X-effects) and loaded up the examples to try and see how I would integrate them into my project. When I finally got them linked, Example1 was bugged. It would only display one lig...

Sorry if this has already been resolved elsewhere, but I haven't seen this anywhere else in the thread. I downloaded the link, got the vc solutions up and running, the only problem i'm running in to is that it only allows one light. More specifically, the shader only makes use of the last light that...

It goes away when I switch drivers. I really need to get a better computer if I want to develop games.

Well apparently you need to set the texture of the skin's sprite bank to something. I don't know what I'm replacing, though, but I have a hunch that it is an improperly scaled texture. *guienv->getSkin()->getSpriteBank()->getTexture(0) =*driver->getTexture("assets//title2.jpg");

Not sure if anybody is still following this, but whenever I have a GUIElement that draws a background, the lag comes back.
