Irrlicht Engine

Have you tried loading it with one of the tutorial solution?

I don't want to go all Captain Obvious over you, but that really seems to be your problem. Have you try not using a List Box?

You can use Google Translate when you want to pass information around. If anyone has problems with the introduction of Russian (or some other) text, here is the solution: In the source code of the engine in the file CIrrDeviceWin32.cpp on the approximately 200th line, we change WORD KeyAsc = 0; on W...

I had some success implementing an orthographic camera aligned with the IV quadrant at the top-left corner of the screen. There's a few pitfalls, but I managed to create a whole lot of lot of classes derived from the irrlicht classes to work with 2D elements. Of course, given the orthographic nature...

That's what I was about to say. Let's tone down the bickering, it makes it look like Daniel isn't welcome to Irrlicht.

So, baptised in fire, but welcome Daniel!

This project was put in the backlog where I'm working, but essentially, I did what hendu suggested and artificially multiplied the Z-value inside my custom classes, which kinda fixed the problem (in the sense that it went away). Of course, this is only true if the ortho camera is created to look per...

You need to implement and instance a class derived from IAnimationEndCallBack. Here's a quick and dirty example :   class AnimEndCallback : public IAnimationEndCallBack {   public:     void OnAnimationEnd( IAnimatedMeshSceneNode *node)     {       printf("The animation has ended!\r\n");   ...

Z-Sorting and orthogonal camera?

It definitely reminds me of something...

Just to be sure I understand correctly. You modify (so essentially, you corrupt) an archive file, and then ask why the code can't read it?

Since you asked... Some program or library may decompress the zlib'ed file in chunk, and try to display the chunks individually, instead of stopping the entire process on a bad chunk. Since a PNG is pretty much a zlib'ed BMP, each valid chunk will hold valid bitmap data. And for each invalid chunk, ...

Just my two cents, but here's what I learned from experience. A debugged library is much better than coding it from scratch. You'll run in all sort of problems that another programmer has already figure out. So even if you use code a bit outdated, you still bring in the experience of the other devel...

There is a forked version that is supposed to work with Irrlicht 1.8.1 : https://github.com/danyalzia/irrBullet

There's also one here : https://github.com/irrmich/irrBullet

Disclaimer : I didn't any of them, though.

Congratulation, you've just been awarded the "Post Necromancer" achievement. :) While we're at it... setFOV() and getFOV() respectively sets and return the vertical field of view (in radians). When you create a camera, it's initialized at "PI / 2.5". You can set the vertical fiel...

Visual Studio is as good an IDE as any.

In fact, we're doing exactly this here.

My two cents... I really don't see why/how a try..catch block is cleaner than checking for nullptr.
