Irrlicht Engine

The most important thing I think is to just write clean and readable code, and if you have to do a programming test for the interview make sure you carefully read the instructions and answer the questions they ask precisely. Take your time, and cover all the angles on the problems. The fundamentals ...

the 1.4 version works in 1.5 with only very minor edits. basically just changing the SMaterial.textures[0] to SMaterial.GetTexture(0) or something like that (saying this from memory, dont have the code here). Anyway, I was able to get it working in irredit 1.5 in like 30 mins. Not too big a deal. If...

Glad you got it working, now joint the fun!!

I see what you did there....

heya, thanks for the updates brainsaw, the new terrain code works nicely.

heya brainsaw, nope just using ODE 0.11 i'm pretty sure. I am using a different heightfield though, and I have arranged stuff in irredit, so that my heightfield is roughly centered on 0,0,0. now that you say though, that is clearly the issue, that the ODE heightfield must always be offset by 1/2 the...

Hey guys I think I mostly got the problem with heightfields figured. Basically I did 2 things, I calculate the actual number of width and depth samples as brainsaw had suggested, the square root of the vertex count. And I removed this little thinger that had been shifting the geom body by 1/2 of the...

yeh I can try to look into it brainsaw, since i would like to use terrain in my app
if i get it figured out i'll send you a diff.

hey ulao, Maybe I can help a little too. for one thing there is no irrODE.dll because irrODE builds as a static .lib file, it has no DLL. you do need a ode_single.dll built with whatever compiler you are using.... The irrlicht.dll and ode_single.dll brainsaw included are bigger than ones built by vs...

Hey Brainsaw,
Yes I am using irrlicht 1.5, and also my heightfield is WAY bigger than 256x256.
So this is a bug you are already fixing? THat would be awesome
I can try to dig into it too, lemme know what your results are....

heya, Managed to get irrODE integrated into my app, I have a physics simulation set up to make a box fall on some terrain, however the box just falls right through? I am trying to set all this up using the irrodedit plugin. I tried messing with the parameters on the world and the geomheightfiled, bu...

yeh i had similar problems, I managed to build a lib based on how your code::blocks project was set up, but can't make it work. I tried duplicating your work in the irrODEdit example sort of in my framework of stuff in vs2008, but I get runtime access violations. I will try next just directly compil...

Taonas, yeh I'm pretty sure that just in general VS2008 DLL's wont work with projects being compiled by VS2005 and vice versa. I had a similar problem trying to use boost::python with python 2.6 in my VS2005 project. Python 2.6 and later are all compiled in VS2008 on windows, so my .pyd file compile...

I don't see why test-driven development and scrum's fast iteration can't go together. I would be amazed to see ANY piece of software that was fully designed before implementation began, and even more amazed if it didnt get substantially changed in scope or specification many times during development...

indeed I am looking forward to it as well

i found a nifty thinger called C/Invoke, whose purpose is to work in a similar manner to P/Invoke, which was used for instance to do the Irrlicht CP wrapper for .NET. I got it working up to the point where my lua runtime can use it, and Im trying to adapt the IrrlichtW Wrapper from Irrlicht CP to DE...
