Irrlicht Engine

That sounds awesome Luna. I definitely want to give that kind of thing a shot later. Probably would try making a special bone in the mesh skeleton just to parent the mouth, eye, etc. Sounds like a good idea!

I learned this method doing some assembly tinkering and I think it's neat so I'll share a snippet of it. It's useful for easily pushing things like ints byte by byte onto a vector, or things like that.   unsigned int size = str.size(); unsigned char* sref = (unsigned char*)&size; unsigned int of...

I want to allow the user to pick from some choices when making their character. Different hair, different nose, mouth, etc.

What is the best way to do this with a set of predefined assets? Should I have small mouth meshes I just parent to a generic head? Sounds hard to pull off. Any tips?

denzel you'll have to come up with a usage for it yourself, I can barely type anymore because my hand decided to go numb lol.

devsh - I see, I know nothing of the graphics side of things. That's good to know. I'm going to work on learning about graphics and stuff while my hand comes back to life lol.

Unfortunately not yet, the game looks like crap, my hand decided to go numb on me so I have to take a break for the time being. I'm going to spend this recovery time researching graphics workflows and stuff like that. Maybe I'll get something presentable up on my github. For now the graphics are tra...

I learned most of what I know from poking around with intellisense lol. You can access most of the engine by derefrencing the device, environment, driver, ect. and scrolling around and reading the doc. Also look in the namespaces irr::*. The doc in VS 2017 is the same as the online doc from what I c...

Why would you encrypt a model lol? Can I make a packet out of that format? If so that sounds dank.

For my latest project I have disabled exceptions completely even for debug lol. I agree with Mel, any exception code should compile out in release mode unless you have a really good reason.

This is awesome! Thank you!

Hello! I've been wanting to start on another MMO and I finally have some good work put in. I'm super invested in this one so I figured I'd put it out there and maybe find some helpers, or maybe some of you would like to learn from it. https://github.com/JacobStewart64/GoldenAgeGame Login is close to...

I'll look into that! Thanks for letting me know!

Will there ever be DirectX 12 support? Honestly DirectX9 is way more than enough for me. I've tried learning how to do DirectX 12, Have a nice book by Frank Luna. But it is too much for me. Other engines like Unreal are not as straightforward to use as Irrlicht and they get in my way. I love Irrlich...

I have some macros I made for my init code. Very simple but make code cleaner, especially QuickScene   #define MessageBoxAndQuit(lstr) MessageBox(0, (lstr), 0, MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR); \                                 return 1   //allows you to draw any number of components by putting them between be...
