Irrlicht Engine

Do I need to keep data folder in that zip file, or only the structure inside data folder?
Does absolute path like D:\irrlicht\test\data\.... still work?

Will try later.

I used to keep my files in a folder and get the path like this: BaseDir = FileSystem->getWorkingDirectory() + "/data" Now I want to compress the files because I'm using dropbox and there are some ridiculously huge text files. I compressed data folder into data.zip and put it with my exe, f...

Ah, thank you. I'll try another (now running that on a virtual machine so software causes less problems).

I'm using 1.7.3. I created a camera at (128,0,0) looking at (0,0,0). I then added a textured rectangle (or 2 triangles) near the center of the screen. Problems is, if I scale (or change the vertices) the rectangle to make part of it fall out of the screen area, the entire rectangle will disappear. A...

Thank you Mel.
So the engine actually uses bounding box of the scene node to do collision detection, right?
I think that is sufficient for me.

Thank you. I'll take a look at that. Yeah, I think I'll try bbox method instead. I have another question, if I'm making a platformer type game, do I need to call createCollisionResponseAnimator method of the scene manager for every objet?       anim = smgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator(terrainTri...

I'm trying to figure out, is there an easy way to test if a mesh intersects with another, like you do with a aabbox class.

Do I need to create triangle selectors? I also need to get the center point of the collision.

I see, thank you.

Thank you for the tip.

Hmm, I assume he just copied that example to another place like I did for the first time, in which case the media folder could not be found. Because the paths are all hard coded in cpp files, you can simply edit them before compiling. They are usually in a pattern like "../../media/dwarf.x"...

Oh thank you.
I see the problem now, I just did that before rendering.

I'm wondering why this always returns a zero vector, while getPosition returns the correct value.

Let me explain my situation first. I'm trying to convert a custom format to mesh and animate it. The first step is relatively easy to me as long as I can set up the vertices position correctly. The second step, however, I'm not sure how to start. Should I create a class based on ISkinnedMesh or SAni...

Thank you. It makes sense to me now.
