Irrlicht Engine

Hy, To put things into context, I'm tryingto make the active camera rotate around the camera target, when the mouse is moved while holding the middle mouse button (just like in so many RTS games). I never learnt about matrices in school. I did now, through the web, to understand their concept. I'm s...

?... Are you high?

It turns out the Irrlicht scene I was loading had an active camera already (set up through IrrEdit), so in spite of adding a camera with exactly the same position and target, It wasn't the active one, it was a clone. So, I was changing the position of the clone (inactive) camera. Fixed it with ICame...

main.cpp:   // head of the file before this   int main() {     IrrlichtDevice* device = createDevice( video::EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<u32>(640, 480), 16, false, false, false, 0);     if (!device) return 1;         IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();     ISceneManager* smgr = device->getS...

Alright, serengour, dotProduct and CuteAlien, I get your points of view. :) Sorry if it seemed like I wanted to have someone do the job for me, it was unintentional. I've already come a long way figuring it out by myself, just asked for help on this for a change. :) Thanks, CuteAlien, I appreciate y...

You guys must be oversensitive to these guys who come in here asking for guidance to do the MMORPG of the century... Smaller steps than trying to make a camera that is user-controllable? It doesn't get much smaller than that... What am I supposed to do, keep examining examples my whole life without ...

Ok, I added a private ICameraSceneNode pointer (named "intcamera") to my MyEventReceiver class, set up a function to allow passing on the camera from Main.cpp to Receiver.cpp, like this:   void MyEventReceiver::setCamera(ICameraSceneNode *passedCamera) {     intcamera = passedCamera; //int...

Oh, now I get what you mean!! Yeah, that should work alright! Thanks!

I do know all that (what classes are, and that MyEventReceiver is a class). But both the definition and implementation of MyEventReceiver are outside the scope of the Irrlicht device and scene nodes definitions/initializations, so the problem persists even with your solution. I mean, I could create ...

I've been trying to code an Event receiver on a dedicated .cpp file. At certain point, I need to access the camera scene node from Main.cpp... But on Receiver.cpp's scope, there is no such thing as "camera", "smgr", etc (which gives me a compile error). I've tried using extern ke...

Is it possible I can't find a SINGLE model online with an animated soldier? Not even a basic one? All I need is a character who will run and duck aiming a gun. Any format. Any clothes. Anything. But I can't even find a soldier model with a run animation. I've been looking for one for almost a week n...

The problem is... I don't know how to install irrlicht plugins. Do I copy the .py file to blender\scripts\addons? I do know how to work with blender, though... btw, I also found the DirectX Exporter for Blender at http://xoomer.virgilio.it/glabro1/python241.html . I read at Irrlicht wiki that .b3d i...

I'm trying to learn how to export a blender animation into .b3d format with the new converter: http://supertuxkart.svn.sourceforge.net ... runk/util/

But how do I use this? It's a java file... How does this work?

Yes, the point is to focus on the gameplay side (that includes the AI suggestions you gave) instead of the graphic bells-and-whistles-and-hollywood-explosions! :) Mainstream commercial industries already focus enough on the graphical approach; and it would be ideal to keep those system requirements ...

Hello, everyone! I'm a novice C++ programmer and I started recently to dive into the world of game programming. After a lot of research and self-teaching, I found out about Irrlicht, and tried to get familiarised with this API. The main motivator for all this is an idea for a Real Time Strategy game...
