Outstanding! This also fixed my translation problem in the beginner forum!

Could a new method be added to IVideoDriver to allow setting the line width?

Something like -

draw3DLine(vector3df start, vector3df end, SColor color, f32 thickness)

The thickness could default to 1.

I have an app which draws colored lines after the smgr->drawAll() call. When I use the openGL driver, the lines are always black no matter what color I set them to. If I use the software renderer, they are colored properly. Is the render state not being set properly? I tried moving the line drawing ...

I want to draw 3d lines to show a path. The coordinates I have are in world space. I can get the lines to draw, but they translate with the object I'm moving. In pseudo code I have this - driver->beginScene(xxxx); smgr->drawAll(); - drawPoints here - env->drawAll(); driver->endScene(); I tried just ...

It appears enabling vsync is not currently supported for Linux. Can anyone confirm this?

Anyone have some code to do so?

Thanks,

I want to create a hierarchy of SceneNodes when I load a 3d Model, because I need to apply rotations and such to sub-nodes. Since Meshes aren't Nodes, whats the best way to do this? I was in the middle of writing a model loader, when I realized I need to create nested scene nodes. Am I missing somet...

I think there is an error in your code. :? You aren't keeping track of the return from the recursive call. You have this - //!Returns the first scene node with the specified Name. // if any node has a children apply this function for children by recursion if(!current->getChildren().empty()) { getSce...

The interface for scene manager has this method - ISceneNode* getSceneNodeFromId(s32 id, ISceneNode* start) I am writing a FLT loader, which has sub groups/nodes. The nodes are named, so I want to be able to load the model and then be able to get a specific sub-node by name from the scene manager. C...

The new 0.12 release updated the code, but it missed a few important lines. :( It needs the following before the while() - // Add default parent - even when at /, this is available entry.Name = ".."; entry.Size = 0; entry.isDirectory = true; Files.push_back(entry); Without it, you can't na...

Does anyone else use this file format? I'd really like to see it in the codebase and can work on it, if others will use it as well.

Any input?

Heres a link to the specs -

When I resize the window, the text will often times become distorted. Is there anyway around this? I need crisp fonts for my application.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I get 3000'ish when using the MeshViewer example. When using example 04, I get around 250fps. It isn't spikes, it stays constant and changes as I would expect depending on what I have in view (more in view slightly lower frame rate, less in view, slightly higher) So maybe there's something about the...

I'm guessing that at only 90 fps you are using a hardware vsync or the sleep you were talking about in the other thread.

My app is roughly the same as the mesh viewer, which does give me around 3000 fps.

Anyone else experience changes when using lots of GUI elements?

I noticed the Meshviewer example takes a big framerate hit when the toolbox is open. I go from 2000'ish frames to 800'ish. I was creating a custom window with some static text boxes on it and noticed my frame rate dropped from 3000'ish to 200'ish. It only has the window and 2 static text boxes! Anyo...

Mid - Why are you swearing and acting all nutty? People are trying to give you more info about how Sleep() affects a system. Sleeping and yielding threads are not difficult concepts, but understanding the larger picture of when to do things is another matter. I'd like to have a way of telling the ir...
