Irrlicht Engine

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to move the vertices and indices into the GPU and then remove it from memory locally. You probably know that in OpenGL you can, for example, do this: Vertex *vertices = new Vertex[147456];   // Generate vertices ...   glBindBuffer(...) glBufferData(...)   delete[...

#include <iostream> #include <irrlicht.h>   #pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")   int main() {     irr::IrrlichtDevice *device = irr::createDevice(irr::video::E_DRIVER_TYPE::EDT_OPENGL);       if (device)     {         irr::video::IVideoDriver *driver = device->getVideoDriver();         ...

Hi, I've been trying to get Irrlicht to compile on Ubuntu (I'm new to Linux). I moved all of the header and source files into an Eclipse project. But, the compilation fails. It says fatal error: windows.h: No such file or directory in PngFile.c . Do I need to add a #define in the pre-processor? Sinc...

Okay, so I created a new project file and removed _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks() from the end of my program and placed _CrtSetDbgFlag(_CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF | _CRTDBG_LEAK_CHECK_DF) at the beginning. I guess those were just false positives because they seem to be gone now.

I'm using version 1.8.1 from the downloads page. I just tried out 1.9 and the leaks don't appear. I guess there was a change made somewhere that fixed this issue?

Hey, thanks for the reply. It's pretty odd to me because just this code: int main() {     irr::IrrlichtDevice *device = irr::createDevice();       device->closeDevice();     device->drop(); } Produces these leaks: Detected memory leaks! Dumping objects -> {168} normal block at 0x005E4CA8, 1 bytes lo...

Hey, I've been having trouble debugging a program of mine because the debug output is being flooded with memory leaks that appear to be coming from Irrlicht: Detected memory leaks! Dumping objects -> {173} normal block at 0x00F05468, 1 bytes long.  Data: < > 00 {172} normal block at 0x00F05428, 1 by...

I'm having a problem that best explained through visuals: http://s10.postimg.org/gyoinds95/static1.jpg http://s10.postimg.org/w64i7qk3t/static2.jpg http://s10.postimg.org/zbp3xy2q1/static3.jpg I'm not really sure what's causing this, I checked the mesh for ZFighting issues but this shouldn't be happ...

Here are the function I use for my screen quads, and they work alright: void ScreenQuad::prepare(dimension2d<u32> texturesize) {     assets.texture[0] = assets.device->getVideoDriver()->addRenderTargetTexture(texturesize, "RTT1");     assets.texture[1] = assets.device->getVideoDriver()->ad...

I fixed the problem, it was extremely simple :/
I remember reading somewhere that AA messes up the depth buffer, and that appears to have been the case here.

Hi, I'm going to be making some custom shaders for my project. So I made a screen quad: (As I understand it, this is a common method for post processing effects.) S3DVertex vertices[4]; SMaterial material;   vertices[0] = S3DVertex(-1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, SColor(255, 255, 255, 255), 0, 0); //upper right ...

You seem to be correct. I originally had the shadow light ranging from 1 to 100, shining over the map. But, I changed the near and far values to 5 and 18 to offer more focus onto the current area and the shadows are much better. So, I've been thinking about making the shadow light I am using as the ...

I've been having a problem with XEffects, all of the shadows are off and it kind of ruins the look of everything. It's especially noticeable on the corners: http://s22.postimg.org/sehdk31ep/problem.jpg It looks as though the block is floating, when it is on the same level as the ground. http://s18.p...

Ah, thank you. This fixed it:

I'm having a problem with images, upon re-sizing they appear blurred. I need them to retain a pixel look, instead of being blurred. In Paint.NET I would do this by re-sizing the image using "Nearest Neighbor", instead of "Best Quality". How would I achieve the same effect in this...
