Irrlicht Engine

No the can't simulate a mouse wheel. And even some PC laptops can't simulate them. Basically applications usually just use +/- or Ctrl+/Ctrl- etc. At least that is how Blender overcame the limitation. All recent Mac mice have at least 2 buttons, plus scroll wheel, and all recent Mac laptops (late m...

I have been using D on-and-off for about 3 years, but I am afraid it still doesn't really live up to expectations. A lot of fairly major issues in the language - such as the lack of constructors and destrutors for value types - keep being pushed back in favour of features like CTFE that maybe 5% of ...

Well, the numbers are not really problematic. The docs say that you should avoid touching the front of an array, and all other differences are within the measurement accuracy. True enough. For interests sake, I booted the same machine into Ubuntu, and performed the tests again. Interestingly enough...

Ok, so I just compiled IrrLicht again after a long hiatus, and I decided to test the performance of the array and list classes against the std-library. I put together a few simple tests and received some interesting results. Using gcc 4 on my MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo, OS 10.4), using the installe...

while you're cleaning and commenting, its a good idea to look at Niko's official rules for patch submission. All I will actually be submitting is about twelve additional lines of code in the existing OpenGLNormalMapRenderer class, that cause it to use hardware dot3 support if it is available. My Ra...

Thanks, will do when I have the source cleaned-up and commented

Teach me to post before catching up on the local news! Just discovered this is no longer a one-man outfit, and that VBO support may already be in the pipeline. Is flexible vertex storage also in the works? If you have any guidlines/ideas for either, I would like to help out. I do have a small patch ...

Also, make sure that your card supports vertex shaders.

Interesting, I am having a similar problem on the Mac Port, .X files exported by Blender load fine in debug compiles but load garbage in release mode.

For some reason, the SDK sample .X file loads fine in either mode.

First off, let me say that I am very grateful for the Mac port of IrrLicht, I am finally able to use it easilly! I wondered if there is any interest in adding Hardware vertex and index buffers to IrrLicht? Edit: I mean Vertex Buffer Objects in OpenGL parlance. Most other engines support hardware buf...

Thanks, just downloaded it, but now I am back on broadband with my own computer, so I will check out cvs.

take a look at IrrlichtNX/lightfeather( http://www.irrlichtnx.mmdevel.de/ ). AH, thank you. Ihadn't realized someone had branched the development. This looks like a great way forward as many more developers can work on it. Only problem I have is I can't hook my computer up to the internet, and the ...

I haven't been around here for a while, and haven't downloaded IrrLicht 0.10 yet (I am on dial-up at the moment), so you may have already done this, but seeing as there are now even more loaders in the engine, I thought this would be a great time to ask Niko if there is any endianess support in the ...

Been away for a long time, working on my own engine. Just a few pointers for the mac port (since I am primarilly a mac coder): Don't bother with a completely mac port, just work all the bugs out of the SDL port, and fix all the endian issues. Then there are a few lower priorities, like supporting co...

This is a sore point. By far the 'easiest' way to make maps is with a quake (or another game on quake engine, I think) installation, but check the numerous quake modding websites, incase there are some for download (probably windows only). The second way would be to search SourceForge, I have forgot...
