Doh! I forgot to log in. The above post was mine.

Spintz, I am trying to do a 3D strategy game where I need a map that is made up from a set of small tiles (32x32???) representing the terrain type. I don't however, want the tiles to look too obvious i.e. I want the terrain to look fairly realistic. The map needs to be fairly large, ~1000x1000 tiles...

Thanks a lot, I just tried your demo and it looks pretty good. One problem I had was that if you rotate the view, the bilboards rotate too and this is quite noticable.

Have you any ideas about how to get around this problem?

I am looking to do something similar. I want to use a tile based approach to the terrain with each tile type representing a different terrain type. This will allow me to make an editor simple as well as making path finding etc easier. However I do not want the tile edges to be obvious, i.e. I want t...

2 hours of looking at this and I can't spot the sodding obvious. The second I post it sticks out like a sore thumb. Forget this thanks, I was suffering brain fade!

Whenever I call getSelected() I always get zero regardless of what's selected.

I cannot see how I can have screwed it up - it isn't that complicated, is this a known bug?

Guest - No I am not using an FPS camera. I have a camera flying over the terrain. That part mostly works ok. I am doing a strategy game with a 3D map and lots of units wandering around under the control of the AI Thorben - Thanks, that was what I was looking for. I will give that a try. Do you know ...

I've been running on it for a while without issues. Compiling it is another matter. One or two of the files have [DIPARAMS::Out] in them (or something similar) which caused issues. I fixed it by changing them to just [Out]. I had problems with linking on version 11 but I have not gotten that far wit...

I want to be able to add scene nodes to the terrain scene node but I need to know what height the terrain is at the point I am to add them so that they are not flying or below ground. Anyone know how to do this? Is this one of those things not yet converted over? If it isn't converted, what is the C...

Well you could pass a std::vector<void *> or std::list<VARIANT> which would allow it to sort of work. To me this is not a good solution though. What are you trying to achieve? From the sounds of it, one function to do all does not seem like a terribly good design, though obviously I have not got eno...

So are you still having problems? The mechanism I posted will work. If you are still having problems I can try and reword the example a bit.

#include <irrlicht.h> #include <iostream> using namespace irr; using namespace core; using namespace video; using namespace scene; using namespace gui; using namespace io; #pragma comment(lib, "Engine.lib") class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver { public: virtual bool OnEvent(SEven...

In your 'bar' header file; // forward declaration class foo; class bar { ... }; In your 'bar' cpp file #include "foo" void bar::fn() { foo f = new foo(); f->DoStuff(); } In your 'foo' header file class bar; class foo { ... }; In your 'foo' cpp file #include "bar" void foo::DoSome...

It was returning some sort of 'internal error'. I checked it on the web at the time and it basically said that the linker had broken and this was a generic error. Did you try the beta 2 version? It is much better. Still has a number of bugs (particularly in the c++ area) but it is not too bad. I sti...

I've had the same problem with the VS 2005 beta 2. I think it is a settings issue but I have yet to work it out. It also breaks the linker at times but I assume that as I am using a beta version, I'll have to just accept that. I have access to a 2003 compiler anyway, so it is no biggy to me.
