Irrlicht Engine

In those revisions we implemented lighting and other missing calculations like eg. a fog thats why a perf drop is normal in this case. You shouldn't use built-in materials for a games where a performance is important (mostly all 3D games), but prepare shaders and materials dedicated for your game (...

@Nadro, Have you receive any report about the performance drop on some Power VR gpu devices after those gles2 fix from revision 4900 to 4908?
I've received some reports about that, and all of them are on Power VR gpus, typecally Power VR sgx544(used by mt6589 and exynos5410).

Nadro recomended a white paper about native activity lifecycle. http://developer.download.nvidia.com/assets/mobile/docs/android_lifecycle_app_note.pdf Read the " “Forcing” Landcape or Portrait Orientation" chapter, and if SDK>13 ,your should use android:configChanges="orientation|keyb...

Does anyone know how I can check whether the android device suppors NPOT render target textures? I found out the Nexus 7(2012) does not support those, but an Xperia mini (2011) does, which was weird. I've met NPOT issue in my project too. try to check it like below. if (driver->getDriverType() == E...

I have many reports about showing black with “.jpg” textures in OGLES2.0 driver . I've tried to add a jpeg texture to sample NO. 27(OGLES2.0), it also just shows black, anyone knows why?

@Nadra, Thanks, I'll check the code.

I guess that My own phone would be the “really old device” LOL. According to the feedback from the beta test, the performance various a lot on different phones, thus it seems that performance is not directly related one phone's hardware specs. I think the performance may really be related to the com...

OK, I just got a Feedback from Galaxy Note3, OGL ES2.0 version works fine, so I need to release 2 different kind of version, OGLES2.0 verison for Andoird 4.4 and OGLES1.0 for the rest devices ?

I do not have that device, its from one of our testers, the same error is reported on SamSung Galaxy Note3(Android4.4) I doubt that it may related to Android4.4. GLES2.0 driver works poorly on My own Galaxy Nexus(Android4.2.1) with all the textures just showing black and rather low fps. I will send ...

I'm now fit the game to various devices. When running on Nexus5(Android 4.4.2), the view seems to be not properly rendered. like this http://i57.tinypic.com/11v5s9k.jpg the log is 03-07 21:56:04.422 I/dalvikvm( 8168): Enabling JNI app bug workarounds for target SDK version 9... 03-07 21:56:04.492 D/...

This branch works with iOS, just go to source/Irrlicht/iOS and open project file in XCode. You can build example no. 17 via this project. Anyway if you want use this branch for iOS please update branch to rev4574. Newer revisions doesn't work properly on SDL, iOS and OSX (other devices like a Windo...

It's resolved already, the depth test should be disabled explicitly on ogles branch.

Hi all, I'm now porting a game to android using ogles branch, which draw in mainloop like this while(device->run()) {         driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0, 0, 0, 0));         if(imageManager.tBackGround)             driver->draw2DImage(imageManager.tBackGround, recti(0, 0, 1024, 640), rec...

@Nadro
I choose to extend Native Activity and add some Java + JNI code to make IME works finally.
I'm not sure whether using one activity onto irrlicht activity will cause any focus problems and it seems to be a little complicated to forwarding all the events.

@CuteAlien I’m afraid that patch is still incomplete. I meet black screen instead of white screen from time to time. the error log is like 02-24 04:18:03.164: E/libEGL(5372): call to OpenGL ES API with no current context (logged once per thread) After I add device->getContextManager()->activateConte...
