Irrlicht Engine

Great explanation! Thank you

I think I'm misusing this node. Does it make it so nodes cast a shadow? Or gives them a shadow?

I have found that because I can't separate Irrlicht in threads or anything (to my knowledge), I have to stick computing world chunks AND meshing them on the same thread as everything else in my project. Is there a way around this? Think Minecraft.

A long time ago, I found a Sourceforge list of custom scene nodes by other people. Where can I find this again, or are there multiple places I can find some cool scene nodes to put into my projects?

I wanted to make my irrlicht game use a letterboxed viewport for resizing, but I don't know how to remap the GUI button hitboxes to match. Visually they appear the same, but their actual hitboxes are wrong. (Button placed top left of screen and having the viewport moved to the right will have them ...

Hm. I'm just using the basic Irrlicht elements, I have a button created after I create an Image and sometimes the button appears behind the Image and vice versa.

I am creating simple GUI objects for a simple HUD, but I find that sometimes objects order themselves out of order of creation instead of in the order I created them in, with some appearing on top of ones I created after them. This seems to just happen whenever it wants. Is there a concrete fix to ...

I see... For now it's working but I'll look into changing input to a different library or something sometime in the future...

Aha! I was missing device->run. I swear I was going crazy or something. Thank you!

Yep, activateJoysticks works and returns true. I get my controller in the array as well. Using Windows and MSVC.

Yeah it does.

I am working on getting joystick support in my game, and my receiver works with keyboard and mouse, but no joystick events are sent. I do initialize the device I have with an array for joystick state(s). But I don't ever receive any events, even though the check returns true and there is a ...

Is it possible in Irrlicht to have say mesh scene nodes only appear when they are <= 50 meters to the active camera? Or is this something I should just do myself externally?

I think it's because I try to load meshes on another thread, but Irrlicht is designed to be synchronous...

I have ran into an issue countless times before where I create a texture or mesh, just to try to modify it in the next line and run into a crash where I try to modify the object before it is done 'loading' etc. in Irrlicht. Hopefully this makes sense. Any solution?
