Re: Quaterions

Thanks, ill check it out.
I only use irrlicht and irrklang, and the standard c++ libraries. There's not enough physics for me to add a physics library, and I'd like to do everything myself as far as I can.

Quaterions

Thanks for all the help on my previous questions. This one's a bit more complicated, but I'm advancing very fast with this engine which I like. I want to rotate a ball according to its angular velocity. How do I go about rotating the ball per frame from its current rotation to the next when I have i...

Re: Where does it end?

It works... that wonderful b3d exporter works... If you were all girls, I'd screw you all sideways. My model looks like a paper mashe doll that fell into a blender, but that I'm guessing is due to my objects not being situated at the origin?

Re: Where does it end?

Thanks guys. Being so frustrated these comments really made my day, I'm ready for more. I'll try the exporter and I'll make sure I only have one mesh. I'll let you know how it goes.

Where does it end?

I just got the hang of irrlicht, and everything was going great. I started developing a neat game I have a great passion for and then decided to start modelling the characters for it. I learned enough blender to create a textured, key frame animated armatured mesh. For the last 2.5 months I have bee...

Re: Changing animations during the game loop

Thanks, I'll look into that, but could you expand on how this would work? * Ok, now I've learnt a new thing, enums, thanks! It works now. I'll just put this here for someone who finds this thread: It seems an enum is a variable you can set, like any, but instead of 1 ,3789, 29 or a, d, or any other ...

Re: Changing animations during the game loop

Ok, I've tried to set flags to keep track of which ones are already playing, but so many flags just become a huge mess, can someone please show me how they make one character do different animations on the click of a button?

Changing animations during the game loop

Hi, I hope you guys can help me as fast as you did last time, I really appreciated it. I am using the Sydney md2 model in my program, and although setting the animation outside the game loop (in main) will play that animation (like EMAT_RUN) when I want to change the animation in the device run loop...

Re: Can the process of setting something be explained to me

Thanks for the quick replies. I see it's doing all this stuff in the main loop, it creates, edits then drops again. I don't get why you can't create outside the loop, and only have a function call for the transformations, or updates or things. All these pointers are also confusing, but that's not ba...

Can the process of setting something be explained to me?

Hey Guys, I've just started working with irrlicht 2 days ago after finding it to be the engine which has the best easy to usefull ratio of the tons I saw on the net. I'm working my way through the tutorials, and there's one thing that I just can't get around my head (actually quite a lot, but I'll b...
