Irrlicht Engine

Hm, well I do init steam before any graphics but I find that I have to create the irrlicht device without using the glfw handle as its parent. Then right after I can parent it. Works but now to see the window show up for a second before being parented…

Supposedly this is because since Irrlicht does ...

Works, thanks!

I am using the Steamworks SDK to add Steam to my game. I run SteamAPI_Init() etc., success, all before the device and window are created.
But the Steam overlay never appears. I run SteamAPI_RunCallbacks per frame...
Anyone know much about this? I'm just assuming Steam is failing to get the handle or ...

I use render textures to render icons that I want to keep in memory, and when I save them to file they're mere kilobytes. (2-4) I have about 32 icons. My memory spikes an extra 200mb for some reason. Changing my color format seemingly doesn't help me much. I'm on Irrlicht 1.8.5. Any help?

Ok, it seems I've done it but my memory usage is still the same, even though the mesh cache size is 0. Any idea?

I just did the whole remove via getMeshCache, checked that the reference counts are 1, and when I run my unload my program crashes and points to a completely unrelated part of my project. (and if I comment out the line it claims is causing it, it'll say it's the next line, but these are 100 ...

I am using irrlicht for my game engine and when I remove meshes from the cache, same as textures, to free up memory, the next frame the scene manager crashes because I’m assuming it tries to find the memory for these assets and it finds something unrelated. How do I safely unload assets?

I'm trying to have a blender rotation convert to Irrlicht, but a problem I am having is I suppose gimbal lock?

I rotate my object 45 on x in Blender, works fine, then 45 on y, works fine, but then z messes everything up. Anyone know what I can do to resolve this?

I set backface culling to true and front face culling to false and now it doesn't look all weird, but it's still not consistent with low level/the example file...

Here's my code for adding the shader callback and everything. It's slightly edited callback from ...

I'm working on adding shader support for my game engine, and the low level shaders work great but high level is where I run into problems.

The first is with high level, and the second is with low level.
The shader is from Example 10.

Any idea what may be the issue?

Irrlicht fog by default is like a plane, and if you stand still in an environment and just turn your mouse to look around, previously foggy areas become clearer. How can I make the fog circular around the player?

It sucks because IrrKlang is pretty helpful as a wrapper.

Any idea on how to implement constraints like hinge into IrrBullet, or does it exist and I can't find it? It seems there is no trace of constraints in irrBP.

He responded rather quickly and said what the website says: it's only available to previous licensees.

I sent him an email about 0.8.1. As for the 0.6 version, the lib file is in .a format and not .lib. Is there a .lib out there? And don't I need .dlls for different audio formats? I think I should just pivot to a different library.
