Irrlicht Engine

Hello community, after almost 2 months without the time to do something new I uploaded a new version to http://dustbin-online.de/download/marbles3.zip . Apart from a lot of small fixes and improvements there is one thing that I like most: After you have done a Time Trial on a track your time is dire...

That's why I haven't done any progress on my project in the last two months or so . For me it's not top priority to work on my game, there are a lot of other things (e.g. work) with a higher priority. I'll come back and do a lot of home-coding when it's winter, got more time then

Do you mean custom scene nodes in files that can be loaded using ISceneManager::loadScene? You can create your own custom scene nodes to load and save data to these files ( http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/example003.html is a good starting point). I am (still) using IrrEdit to create the scene ...

Hi, thanks for your reply. - modernize UI: I am not fully satisfied with the look of the UI, but this is not a top-prio task at the moment - Spelling: shame on me ;) - Translucent: I'll have to see what I can do there. I will try to create my own (more minimal) shader because XEffects looks great bu...

Hello Community, I have spent the last 2 weeks creating an installer for the game. It can be downloaded from http://www.dustbin-online.de . The ZIP file is also still available and updated at http://dustbin-online.de/download/marbles3.zip . The installer was created with the WIX Toolset ( http://wix...

A new version is online: I added an option to see the 25 most recently uploaded ghosts: http://dustbin-online.de/pix/marbles3/ghost_download3.png Additionally you can now access the "download ghost" menu from the time trial game menu so that you can see if there are any new ghosts on your ...

Just uploaded a new version to http://dustbin-online.de/dowload/marbles3.zip . This time I have added a "publish ghost" function. Now you can do a time trial and after saving the ghost a "publish" button appears which lets you upload the ghost to http://dustbin-online.de/marbles3...

I uploaded a new version to https://dustbin-online.de/marbles3 . This time I added some sort of "asynchronous multiplayer" (Part 1): there is a new menu point "Ghosts" in the "Update" Menu: http://dustbin-online.de/pix/marbles3/ghost_download1.png When you select this m...

Just uploaded a new version to http://dustbin-online.de/download/marbles3.zip.

Not much added, just a new option in the "Replay" menu: View a track. Use the mouse to rotate the track, scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Hope you have fun with it.

I am now preparing an awesome new feature: share your ghost files. This is not yet included in the game, but there is a homepage at: https://dustbin-online.de/marbles3 You can download the ghosts that are stored here and race against them. The ghost files are stored in "C:\Users\[UserName]\AppD...

I uploaded a small bugfix this morning:

- ghost replay camera was broken
- static text "ghost saved" was overlapping button "save replay"
- camera in race replay was not moving after respawn

Can still be downloaded at http://dustbin-online.de/download/marbles3.zip

Hi, I just uploaded a new version: with the first iteration of the race replay. You can now save replays of all races (time trial with or without ghost, splitscreen, network client and server) and view them later on. There is still some work to do: in multiplayer games you only see the perspective o...

Hi, it works without problems, although splitscreen drops the framerate a lot - rendering to texture I guess. XEffects is great as I don't have the time to dig into shadow mapping myself ;). I'll keep posting here as soon as I have new features. At the moment I'm working on race replay - similar to ...

Splitscreen in general is not complicated in Irrlicht, see tutorial 18 ;) In my special case you can have 2-4 player splitscreen. I just use a switch-case block for all the options to define the size of the screen part for each player and store it as a irr::core::reci object. If shadows are active I...

Just uploaded a splitscreen video of "Stunt Marble Racers 2" (4 players, 2 laps, easy track): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmrPKihQoYE&feature=youtu.be Project Thread: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51773 Homepage: http://dustbin-online.de Download Lin...
