Irrlicht Engine

Hmm, I'm developing this on Linux. It's been a while since I last had my project running on Windows. I think I need to make a system of converting file path forward and backwards slashes based on platform before it would run on Windows. Basically all the game resources are loaded based on data in ...

My character meshes have full-body running and walking animations which I consider primary animations. They also have full-body gun shooting/reload/miscellaneous animations which I consider secondary animations.

Primary animations and secondary animations need to be able to be played entirely ...

I used the microsecond timer capability of std::chrono to find out the unacceptable slowness happens within ISceneManager::drawAll and only IAnimatedMeshes with their joint mode set to EJUOR_CONTROL causes this lag when being drawn with drawAll. If there was an obvious way to change Irrlicht to ...

Yeah thats right. I ended getting that to work but also I can just do this one-liner.

m_skinnedMesh = (ISkinnedMesh*)m_objMesh;

Then when I add it to the scene with irrsmgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(m_skinnedMesh); it shows up.

Now I get to find out if there was a point to all this by trying to ...

Ok so maybe I can make a SkinnedMesh based off of the AnimatedMesh that's too slow and it'll work the same as before except faster. I'm going to try that thing where a loop gets all the bone rotations and positions from the npc mesh and copies that to the bones on the skinned mesh clothes because if ...

I know of skinned meshes but I haven't really figured out how to set them up yet.

It's my understanding that first you do something like
ISkinnedMesh *m = sceneManager->createSkinnedMesh();
m->addMeshBuffer();
then you somehow transfer the mesh buffer data from the IAnimatedMesh, and then you ...

I'm adding wearable clothes to the npcs in my game. I export the rigged skinned character models to b3d and then use those in Irrlicht as an IAnimatedMesh.

For clothes, I use the same exact bone structure as the respective character model and export that as a b3d file and it gets loaded into ...

It turned out I was barking up the wrong tree on this one. I was trying to get the verticies of the terrain and make a collider based on that. I then realized that an ITerrainSceneNode created with a 1024x1024 heightmap contains 1048576 verticies which is probably way too many. I then used ...

Thanks. That function worked like a charm.

This probably isn't worth its own thread (yet), but one issue I'm running into is that I need to basically get a list of all the indicies and all the vertices from the terrain mesh in order to generate a reactphysics3d collider. Both ITerrainSceneNode ...

Here is a video of a space game I've been working on for a while. It uses Irrlicht, reactphysics3d and OpenAL. It also has built-in lua which will be used for possible mods or quest scripting in the future. For now, just the cockpit monitors and some of consumable items (not shown in screenshots or ...

Thanks, I didn't know about the draw function. I was able to use that to come up with code that draws static text to a IGUIImage and then scales it up. It looks like crap, you were definitely right about that. Getting this method of text drawing to work with text boxes and list boxes would be ...

I am trying to devise a way of resizing/scaling text so that I can have a fully scalable UI. In fact, I already have almost everything having to do with ui scaling already finished. Everything except text.

As we all know, you can only change the font to be used with static text. There isn't a ...

I ended up finally getting entirely everything I wanted. I even successfully separated the pitch and yaw rotation so 1 bone could do only yaw and the other bone could do only pitch. This way dual point gimbal turrets work better. It just took a massive amount of brute force trial and error. I ...

hold on, parentTransform.setTranslation(core::vector3df(0,0,0)) doesn't result in the same behavior as this

parentTransform[12] = 0;
parentTransform[13] = 0;
parentTransform[14] = 0;
parentTransform[15] = 0;

i'll start trying both methods every time i change and check something.
The following ...

hmm, i had already tried separating them vs not separating them before posting that. What visually happens and the rotational axis values are often useless and inconclusive. (x and z axises are combined based on whatever the quaternion algorithms say to do and whatnot). In my above attempt (with ...
