Irrlicht Engine

Here's what I did: char name[256]; char* playernametemp; const wchar_t* playername; playernametemp = name; playername = std::wstring(playernametemp).c_str(); When I compile I have an error that says "left of c_str() must have class/struct/union type" and right below it is a "type cast...

I've got 2 questions. 1. How do I convert a char array into a const wchar_t so I can display it in Irrlicht? I have a char name[256]; 2. How EXACTLY do I use the setAnimationEndCallBack function in IAnimatedMeshSceneNode. I've already declared an IAnimationEndCallBack. I'm not sure what to do with t...

You should search the forums more carefully. I posted a thread exactly on this topic not long ago. If you're using DirectX or OpenGL as your renderer your image size has to be something to the power of 2.

For example:

64 x 32
128 x128
512x1024

I don't think you can do that(2D to 3D). Why would you want to do anyway. If you're trying select something on the screen there are tutorials for that. I'm not sure where though.

Thanks your suggestion compiled fine but I am getting the converted string as some nonsense combination of numbers.

Now I think it's the way I'm sending the char array. I'v posted in the RakNet forums for help. Thanks for the help here pfo.


VVVVV That's me sorry. Forgot to log in.

I'm not sure I understand your problem. i've understood that by what angle my character will rotate its negative my camera will rotate so as not to disturb the camera. This is the line I don't understand. Rephrase? In general though, I wouldn't set your character as the parent of the camera. I take ...

For my program I need to send a wchar_t to the server. I am using RakNet, so I've converted my wchar_t to a char array like this: char name[256]; strcpy(name,stringc(gamemgr->playername).c_str()); Now the problem comes when the server receives the packet. How do I convert back from char array to w_c...

Is it just me or displaying images in Irrlicht turns the image quality really really low? I save my image as a 32 bit bmp file and load it as my main menu splash. The text comes out blurry at the edges. I tried it on more than one machine. I'm not sure what's wrong here; the image itself is sharp as...

How exactly do you change game states with Irrlicht (for example, main menu, game itself blahblah)? Do I have to declare new Irrlichtdevices for every state? Or do I just add functions under the same device to switch between states? What about the EventReceiver then, surely it must be able to have d...

The CGame class is written in another file. I've got a solution from a third-party so I'm going to try that. Thanks for helping though.

I've got an Event Receiver class (CEventReceiver) that I call in my CGame class when I use createDevice. Now I want to add GUI events in the Event Receiver class. Let's say when a button is clicked, I want to display a text message on the screen. What should I do? I'm not sure how to write anything ...

JP, I figured it out. The model updates fine now. Go to this Wiki link : http://irrforge.org/index.php/Simple_way_to_get_Mouse%2CKeyboard_Events Copy the class and paste it in your main.cpp. Make sure you include the necessary header files or DWORD won't be recognized. Also, set the functions in the...

are51: You're right. There was a pointer stored to a node that I missed. It was an ISceneNode. I've made the necessary changes. There is no problem with that now. The problem is that my logic for implementing moving forward smoothly whilst executing the run animation is flawed. It doesn't work, even...

Hello I'm a new user to Irrlicht. I'm trying out simple movements for a character. I've loaded a model: scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("../../media/faerie.md2")); I did all the rest of the necessary stuff, including an Event Receiver. The...
