Irrlicht Engine

I have a question, since you're choosing to keep this closed-source, what are the odds of you releasing a Linux build? I'm a Linux user, as are many Irrlicht coders, and this would be a very useful tool for us too, especially considering the lack of level/scene editing tools for our platorm of choic...

For very simple fighting, you could start out with something like this and build on it as your combat system gets more complex: First, make new classes for your player and enemies, probably inheriting from the IAnimatedMesh scene node. Throw in some extra things like hit points, model, and a boolean...

Something simple like: Works too, if you're just wanting to output to the console and not log to a file.

Yep. You can pretty much do whatever you want with it as long as you follow Niko's license. I'm sure he'd appreciate it if he was credited too.

You can read the license here: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/license.html

It's probably a little bit late now, but if you're still curious on how to do this, here's some sample code: IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("modelFile"); IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* anode = 0; anode = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh); anode->setPosition(vector3df(0, 0, 0)); anode->set...

A while back, after I had some trouble compiling Irrlicht under Linux, I released a patch for it, and got the examples to run. However, I couldn't get the techdemo to run. Tels managed to get it to work though, and he has a page documenting how to make it work at http://bloodgate.com/perl/irrlicht/t...

I wouldn't worry too much about that problem. I see the same thing in my console when I'm running Irrlicht in Linux, but it only seems to occur when the ALT key is pressed, and as far as I know it has no real negative effects that I've seen.

Hello. I was wondering if anybody has had success cross-compiling the Irrlicht sourcecode for windows using MinGW for Linux? I want to be able to develop my software for both Linux and Windows simultaneously, but I don't have Windows or MinGW installed on my machine yet, and was curious as to whethe...

Wouldn´t it be possible to implement a function to the engine like changeDevice()? May games acutally work this way which is why they often pause when you change a resolution setting. That´s what I want to avoid. greets, mq Unfortunately, there's not much you can do regarding this little change, be...

Not too sure if you can change the values of the device as it is running... I'm assuming you are wanting to do this for menus and stuff, correct me if I am wrong. I believe it would probably be easier and more efficient to just clear the device out and create a new one with the different values. You...

And about the mipmapping, I really don't know a whole lot about this, but I think that the mipmapping, and the lightmap problems might have been caused by the "quick-and-dirty" way I patched the OpenGL driver in the engine source. No, because I used the pre-compiled Irrlicht. However, I w...

I was just reading your page about the techdemo, and thought I'd try to explain some of the bugs in it. I am not sure whether this are general bugs or Linux specific problems: * There are some holes in the level, especially at the floor. You can look through some 20cm by 5 m rectangles near a wall. ...

Well, I finally got around to testing the enging after these changes, and I'm pleased to say that it works nice and fast!

Now for the other thing that's been bugging me? How do I get the Techdemo to compile under Linux?

I don't know if anybody else has had the same problems as me compiling the Irrlicht 0.5 source code under Linux, but after a little time spent tracing back compiler output, I managed to get it to compile. the problem lies in the CVideoOpenGL.cpp file. The functions "glActiveTextureARB" and...
