Irrlicht Engine

Hello, I'm not sure, if this is the right board for my question (@admins: please move it, just in case :) ). I want to do a seamless flight from a great height (about 100km, 62mi) to the surface of a planet. At the start position, I have the planet and the surrounding space as a skybox. A the end po...

Maybe you are right. :? But in my game, it takes about 30ms to draw a complex scene and only 5ms to calculate the collsions, AI, scripts and so on (one one CPU core!). So I have plenty of CPU power but none of GFX power. So, I try to get as much as possible done on the CPU... :) Note, I have two tas...

Hello, lately, I played a bit with particle systems (while developing SpaceCombat). I got some ideas and I post them here. Maybe something of that is useful for your projects... Have more than one texture First of all, I wanted more than one texture in a particle system. I achieved this by create a ...

Hello, here's a new screenshot of my project "SpaceCombat". http://spacecombatgame.sourceforge.net/ http://spacecombatgame.sourceforge.net/screenshot_may14.png Some fighter ships attack a corvette in a asteroid field. Effects: - fire (particle) - normal mapping (shader) - glow (shader) - l...

Hello developers, I have a unwanted effect with blending. Maybe you have any ideas to solve my problem. I start with a black background and alpha 0.0 (completely transparent). Then I draw a blue rectangle with texture alpha 1.0 (opaque). Finally, I draw a half-transparent red square with texture alp...

Here is the code for the CScreenQuadSceneNode. (based on some code from this forum) Header-file   #ifndef CSCREENQUADSCENENODE_H #define CSCREENQUADSCENENODE_H   #include <irrlicht.h>   using namespace irr;     class CScreenQuadSceneNode : public scene::ISceneNode {           core::aabbox3df aabb;  ...

Hi folks, I've played with postprocessing shaders a bit. Now I want to share my results... :D The first one is a full screen glow effect. There is nothing special about the shader itself. But there my approach is slightly different. In most articles about glow/blur you should render your scene twice...

And finally, I found it! :) It did the oldest mistake, since z buffers... :roll: The distance between near and far plane was too big. (Near=0.5, Far=15000) I suppose, the frame buffer calculates with 32 bits and the rtt only with 24. Very interesting. The right solution for me is a logarithmic deph ...

I played around a bit... Even when I set clearzbuffers in each line, it doesn't work.       driver->beginScene(true, true, backgroundColor);     driver->clearZBuffer ();     driver->setRenderTarget(rtt, true, true, SColor(0,0,0,255));     driver->clearZBuffer ();     smgr->drawAll();     driver->cle...

When I have driver->setRenderTarget(rtt, true, true, SColor(0,0,0,255)); the second 'true' is for clearing the zbuffer, right? So, the zbuffer should be cleared, when the scene is drawn. When I switch back to the frame buffer, I only draw the screen quad, which is not affected by the zbuffer. Maybe ...

Hello, I got a zbuffer problem with real time textures. :( Setting: -irrlicht 1.8 -OpenGL -drawing objects with my own shader -shader based on EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL -set in all materials the flags for EMF_ZWRITE_ENABLE and EMF_ZBUFFER -did a 'smgr->getParameters()->setAttribute(scene::ALLOW_...

This is not strictly Irrlicht-related, but it may be useful in a project, that uses Irrlicht. :) With these classes, you can evaluate an mathematical expression like `3.4*PI/sin(4.6+min(4,2)^1.7)`. This can be useful for scripting... The classes only works on float (f32) values. (no vectors, no doub...

Assuming it's clean of bugs, with your permission tom_gamer, we could put this in irrExt (our humble repositories). Permission given. (Keep in mind, that the code is mainly Irrlicht, that is licenced under zlib licence.) Is there a specific reason why you named it IGUIListBox? I replaced the origin...

Hi, I had to write a little extension of the Listbox for my game. :wink: With the code, you can make a ListBox do multiselect (select more than one item). http://imageshack.us/a/img12/5535/listbox.png This works only with mouse control (keyboard is not implemented for multiselect). Here is the code ...
