Re: Irrlicht and DX 11

Such a shame - I went through teh exact same process and had the same error:
unresolved external symbol _D3DX11CreateEffectFromMemory@20

I first checked the patch (had to install git for Windows) using :
git apply --check FVF_DX11.patch (yes I change the patch name to this)
and noticed many files ...

Post Processing with AntiAlias

I use an older version of Irrlicht (1.5) in CopperCube and it cannot have multi sample antialiasing at the same time as using post processing as things get badly screwed up.

I notice Irrlicht 1.8.5 has per mesh antialiasing so does it also work along with post processing or is it the same with ...

Re: Far Clipping Plane & exceptions

Thanks for the responses - I do prefer to keep all material as FFP however instead of creating a new transparent material in HLSL.

I noticed the skybox and skydome are not clipped as they are drawn before most other things as counted in the ESNRP_SKY_BOX render pass - I thought that this might be ...

Far Clipping Plane & exceptions

I want to make use of the camera far clipping plane to reduce large terrain drawing distance yet also have exemptions to override any clipping like very distant planets and sun mesh using a 3D plane - so keep them rendered always within the view frustum.

I am using the fixed function pipeline as ...

Re: Advanced Effects

Some amazing work done here Vectrotek - nice one!

Even though Irrlicht is a bit old now, CopperCube still has a bit of life left in it.
Would you or anyone here like to improve CopperCube source code at all - would be so good if you could....
I have been adding in bits of things but shaders are not ...

Re: Add class to scene manager

Much appreciated the detailed response to that problem of linking.
Yes, over the last year I became aware that the Linking issues was the final step and what you said above is totally right.

I still have issues finding where these mismatched method calls/formats etc in the new class.cpp file are so ...

Re: Volumetric Clouds code

To be honest no one of the CopperCube forum knows anything about the engine at all expect one who either doesn't know or refuses to help.
That forum is for children mostly who have trouble adding a screen meter...

Add class to scene manager

I'm having massive problems simply trying to add a new class into the scene manager.

I have literally tried dozens of different ways of doing it and still nothing works.
All I get is some stupid error message that makes no sense at all from VS.

Hopefully someone on this forum can help me out and ...

Volumetric Clouds code

I'm trying to incorporate some C++ code into the CopperCube source code but I am having an issue with the final run on every frame part.

I have taken the code out of the existing namespace 'smoothly' and placed the sub class 'cloud' into CC source in the scene manager (CSceneManager.h ...

Re: terrain normal

I recently implemented this in CopperCube engine with I would expect similar code as Irrlicht terrain though dont know for sure.
I added new member to struct STerrainData called "Angle" and in the 'updateMeshesFromTerrainData() function added new formula to get normal angle and update this 'Angle ...
