Irrlicht Engine

If I remember correctly the MeshCache still uses an array and a binary search instead of a RB-Tree/Hashtable, right? Yes, but I have provided a patch to that effect over a year ago ;) You can find it in the open discussions forum if you're interested. As you can probably guess, using a Red-Black tr...

And while I would like to see more people working in svn, there is one thing even worse than more people working - that is the wrong people working on it. The reason for that is that recovering from wrong decisions takes way longer (and is very frustrating) than writing any feature. Are there plans...

@Ethon, not using STL is great it means it works only with what it needs! Nope. Every major C++ compiler has a good STL-implementation today and ships it by default. Irrlicht reinvents the wheel and consists of many container/algorithm implementations which are less efficient than the STL counterpa...

Ogre has the advantage that its codebase is very clean and the developers make an intelligent use of verious design patterns.
Irrlicht is often pretty dirty and not using the STL makes it even worse. But well it, Irrlicht is easy to use and does its job.

Well, I think I was the first one, so don't blame me for another one.

Yeah, I know.

Just in case people don't know how to fix it, I fixed it. New version uploaded.

Found that via Google.
Strange that there are no comments yet, still working on it?

1. I miss move semantics.
2. Using macros as a replacement for functions is a bad idea.

All that stuff should be done by using RAII. Imho its horrible that users are responsible to drop the object, reference counting is better done with smart-pointers like std::shared_ptr/boost::shared_ptr. That is a guarantee to avoid memory leaks and it has absolutly no overhead compared to calling d...

pacman -S codeblocks

Thats it.

Hi, I searched for some time and I didn't find much information about this. Two things: 1. I know that Irrlicht ist not threadsafe. 2. But I still want background loading. Texture Loading: The image loaders should be threadsafe, as they do no chaching. So I could load an IImage in a second thread an...

Head -> Desk. No wonder all log events went through.

But thanks.

Hi,
I am using my own logging and Irrlicht logging on its own is very annoying.
I know that I can fetch log events via the IEventReceiver, but how to stop Irrlicht from writing to stdout?

Thanks,
Ethon

Uhhh, so I probably won't be able to do that for the next while.
No other way to achieve that?
