Irrlicht Engine

Well, you know how it is. The old place is hosted on the server of the place I used to work at. I'm sure they'd be willing to let me still host there since it would probably help them to have me still extend irrlicht but the ethics of it are dubious.

Naw, png's work, you just need to steer clear from certain formats.

Whoops, I was going to do a patch for v0.3 but I just realized I don't have a place left for web hosting. Mmmm, not too sure what to do, I'll look into alternatives.

Lol no sorry. What I mean is that I used to work at a place that has a working mmorpg right now but a shitty client. We had started work on a new client with irrlicht but I got a good offer from EA and took it, so here I am :p

Mmm yeah, that's probably because it's been release before the current version of irrlicht. I really gotta get my rear in gear and release a new version compatible with it and the new features. I got a job at EA so this kinda became low priority, I mean I'm not working at the same place anymore. I d...

Well, we're a small indy commercial spacey mmorpg. We're already live but we're working on client v2 using irrlicht. It's been a pain and a pleasure to work with I guess. My job is everything related to the interface code and irrlicht really wasn't up to the task of rendering our current complex int...

Also, if you're using font smoothing in windows, it'll mess up the font tool result and make your font look wrong.

It's not supported out of the box, I added the equivalent of WM_CLOSE message the class to make it work.

There *is* a minimize button, it just doens't do anything really. You can always catch the button push event I guess but the minimize part is up to you.

I don't think that's going to work. If you can't by yourself guess the concept of quads mapped with a texture, well you need to read up on a lot of 3d theory and no amount of 10 line posts is going to help. That's my opinion at least.

As the above poster said, read on the general theory of billboards and then try to use irrlicht billboards. It's simply a quad with a normal vector pointing toward the screen.

Also, Cegui works "out of the box" with Irrlicht but it's not a zlib license if that's important to you. Also it's pretty complex as far as gui systems go.

The msvc 8.0 project is missing some files, that's why it's not working in the first place. I can't remember which one it was exactly but I fixed it by adding them to the project.

Two years from conception to release with 3 programmers who never had worked on a game before : http://www.starsonata.com/

They were however profesionnal developpers, just not in games.

Well, a simple portal system should take care of the upstaire/downstair problem no? I don't know how well portals are supported by irrlicht tho.
