Irrlicht Engine

Hello,

currently I'm working on a Program that displays 3D Graphs. Hence I'm trying to figure out a way to place Text (Labels) on the nodes of the graph. At the moment I get the best results by rendering the text to a texture which is again applied to a 3d rectangle mesh.
But this way seems to be ...

Why do most Irrlicht3D Projekts look bad?

For a few years I'm studying several Irrlicht Projects. I'm fascinated by it's easy implementation and usage, which although doesn't restrict the programmer. So I started different projects using the fast developing ...

@Lord: 1. Das "Aufs Maul" ist bei uns in der Region nicht als: "Ey ich hau dir eine aufs Maul" gemeint, sondern eher als "Was soll das?!". Das kommt aus dem Film Lord of the Weed, den bei uns verdammt viele, verdammt oft gesehen haben. Außerdem war das Häää? natürlich überzogen. Ich finde es nur ...

in germany we whould say: HÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ?! AUFS MAUL?!
do you mean the irrlicht-dll project or which one?

does no one know a solution?
maybe i have to modify the engine .................?

Every tile got the same size - they look like this tile.
And i know the size of every tile for sure - the problem is the overlapping transparent area. in the picture the black background is transparent.

1. the tile-images overlap. There ist a part of the images which is transparent and that part overlaps with other transparent ones.
2. I got the 2 position of the cursor by using a fuction of a ICursorControl instance.
3. the problem is that i don't know to which image the position belongs ...

it's a 2d game......and I use draw2dImage() to draw the tiles.
before i started this thread i had looked for a function in the API.....but there is no, neither for ITexture nor the cursor control....

Its an engine specified problem. the tutorials and articles on gamedev.net aren't usefull.

hello!

in my 2d iso strategy game i want to select a tile by mouse. thats almost works fine but the tiles overlap (in most cases only the transparent areas overlap). Now my question: How can I find out to which texture a pixel, that i get from the cursor position, belongs?

hope you understood my ...

i bought visual c++ .NET 2003 standart a few days ago. it is worthwhile ito buy it. i paid 130€ . i tihink that must be ~ 160 US$

very nice! the ui is better than mine - i think i'll copy it
what do you think about working together on a powerfull particle tool?

After thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of XML and also of LUA-Script I came to the conclusion that I only use XML to save the Particle Informations. LUA-Script will not be included because I am also able to save timline informations with XML. Following it will be easier to read the ...

i didn't code that particle editor.

planed features:

- timeline: it will be able to adjust the time when a effect starts up
- LUA Script: it will be able to control these timeline and more with LUA-Script
- LUA Editor and interpreter will be included
- export created particle systems to IPS-Files ...

yes - but now i've bought the standard edition.......

@bal: thank you but this isn't the problem. i lost the code and the binaries. but that doesn't matter because i'm started working on version 2.0 which is absolutely new.
