Irrlicht Engine

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

It's amazing just how many cool projects irrlicht engine facilitates. Don't you think irrlicht would benefit from having some sort of central plugin and packaging system that people could write modifications for, and have them all be compatible at runtime? From what I have seen, such a thing does no...

6px. That's what kind

I mean, it makes sense to keep the size down. It's barely readable though.

If I might make a proposal, I hate the built in font with the engine. It's just not usable. I know
it's not meant to be used really, but we might as well put a nice 10pt font in that is readable
if we're going to put any font in.

You might be able to find a way to use Qt or Objcopy, with a bit of clever hacking.

Thanks, that sounds really convenient.

If I might ask another question, what is the practical use of the scene node factory,
if all scene nodes can be created without it? Is it just an optional level of abstraction
between the creation of a node and the actual method used to create the node?

From what I understand, if you create an object (i.e. a node) with a call to a function
that starts with add, the engine will drop it itself, but if you create an object (i.e. a
mesh) you need to call drop() yourself, correct?

Woah, that looks amazing! Great work, and keep it coming! I'll have to try that out when I get a chance.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'm new here

I see three questions here, not one. To make your program look professional, you could find a library that handles tar archives and use that for resource management - other than that it's just clever programming (serializing different data into effectively organized files) and resource management (n...

I did actually tinker around with the idea and get some code written for a library. I don't have anything substantial at all right now, and probably never will, but if I get something worth releasing I'll definitely give you the code I've written. I have next week off, so I'm probably gonna go HAM w...

totally had to use google translate, but great! I look forward to those releases

Build a world all the way!

Wow, that's amazing!

I did notice that the shuttle had a small problem with it's no. 2 and 3 boosters!

If I'm correct, you should just create your 'indices' array as an array of u32 instead of u16, then you can reference vertices past the u16 referencing limit. Really, you shouldn't be trying to cram that many polys into a scene though, unless you're doing something graphical that will be rendered o...
