Irrlicht Engine

Good, looks like we're ahead of schedule.

If we do make the switch to c++11 standard, I'd really like to see ITimer support micro and even nanoseconds (courtesy of std::chrono::high_resolution_clock) and perhaps even a built-in sleep function (using windows Sleep() and Linux nanosleep()). This would save headaches for applications that need...

True - There are some great wrappers out there, but they're still wrappers. I agree with OP to some degree, that it would be nice if there was a physics engine for irrlicht, but it would be a lot of work.

I've been thinking about writing my own physics engine for irrlicht. I'm kind of fed up with having all these wrappers, and I've always taken an interest in physics libraries.

Hey, where did you get that list of valid data types, by the way? In the htmldoc, or elsewhere?

Thanks mate

At least the problem is in my xml and not in my code.

EDIT:
I tried it and it worked just fine!

I have a question regarding the read() function of IAttributes. It seems to be only minimally documented in the api, so I'm not really sure if I'm even using it right. I'm assuming it dumps each element in the specified xml/irr file into the implicit IAttributes object, but how is it serialized exac...

Create a new image and use copyTo(), I should think.

Okay. Nice to know that, since it's hard to search an api for something that may or may not exist. I might write my own map, or figure an alternative.

I was just wondering, what's the easiest way to get the EKEY_CODE given a charsequence or string that represents that character (i.e. turn 'e' into KEY_KEY_E)? I could always make a static map myself, but that would be huge and would probably contain holes with my code quality :D Does Irrlicht provi...

Irrlicht doesn't add a skybox. If you created your scene with an editor like irrEdit... I have no idea (never used it). But just take a look at the variable in the debugger after it crashed - then you will know within seconds what type of node that really is. That's why we have debuggers :-) In rep...

Fixed! The problem did turn out to be related to what type the returned object was (Thanks again, CuteAlien) though I'm still not sure the exact cause. The point is, I fixed it by removing the cast to scene::IMeshSceneNode* and simply called scene::ISceneNode::setMaterialFlag() rather than scene::IM...

Hmm... this is a good suggestion, but I need to know: Could there possibly be a skybox by default in my irr scene? I did not insert one myself (Nor have I ever used one before.)

Hello! Once again, I have a problem I was hoping someone could help with. This time my question is regarding ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeFromCameraBB(), and selecting nodes. The goal was, in this part of my project, to be able to select an arbitrary node in the scene and have it become wiref...
