Re: Unique Lucid Dreaming game - check it out!

I think this is pretty cool i have been a natural lucid dreamer since i was a kid and i have attempted to make 3d models of some of the places i have gone but find it difficult to get the same feeling i had in the dream and i wish you good look in modeling. I think this would be really cool if you h...

Re: Irrlicht GUI

What exact errors with CEGUI that you had before? My Ubuntu 12.04.3 can build CEGUI for Irrlicht successfully (using Irrlicht's shared lib). CEGUI also has an official Irrlicht demo. So i finally did get it to compile a day or two ago but i was playing around with it but i failed to get the program...

Re: File Loading Problems (Help)

Well if you do it like this mesh = smgr->getMesh("SWD.x"); you will need SWD.x to be in the same directory as the exe. This will get messy because all your media are going to be in one directory so i would recommend making a folder named media in the same directory as your exe and put SWD....

Re: Irrlicht GUI

Every good GUI takes time to create. It's often the part that takes the most time in game programming (and yeah, no-one ever expects that). I rather like the Irrlicht GUI system because it's flexible enough that I usually can get everything working the way I want it to. Even if it means I have to c...

Irrlicht GUI

I want to use irrlicht's GUI because its there and it seems to be able to do most of what other GUI Librarys can do and if not i can always add on. The one thing i cant seem to change is the background color of a list box, textbox etc. I also was wondering how to change the color of the text.

I could use this to temporally make and updater for the game because i was looking for something quick and easy. The reason why i dint c...

Re: How to go about making a updater

Perhaps this should go in the beginner help side ;) You need to code that. It's not particularly difficult, your idea of version numbers would work. Store a similar file on the server, compare each version, download all new files. The only gotcha is that Windows, that weird and restricted OS, doesn...

How to go about making a updater

So I want to make a auto updater that checks to see if the program or game needs to be updated. I have thought of different ways of doing this like having one file that has the version in it and when the server reads it, it will than know to remove/add files to the client. The other way was just hav...
