Irrlicht Engine

Yeah, that should really be in there I guess.

Do you mean that the programs do not find the media? I'll have to look this up, as the sources should actually be changed just so the programs would find the media. The HTML files are unchanged however, I kinda assumed that most people reading the tutorials would be able to handle that much... maybe ...

when i try to compile the engine myself with mingw (using a modified makefile.win)

So what happens if you try to compile it with an unmodified Makefile then? This seems to be completely unrelated to the DevPak and this thread, since that doesn't include the engine source... but anyways... the ...

hmm i get an compile error ...

Trying it with Kerio: nope, none of those apps are trying to connect anywhere... are you sure ZoneAlarm is sane?

The really easy and fast way:

First, in Dev-CPP, open Tools->Check for Updates/Packages and download the DirectX 9 Devpak (this contains what you need for DX8 as well).

Then, unzip the Irrlicht sources and open the Irrlicht.dev project file.

Go to Project->Project Options (ALT+P) and go to the ...

Exactly what have you done? I did this right now:

* Unpacked 0.5 source
* Opened Irrlicht.dev
* Opened project settings and changed:
** Library directories to "jpeglib" and "zlib" (relative paths)
** Include directory to "include" (relative path)
* Hit CTRL-F9 (Compile)

And it just worked, built a ...

The DevPak (still same URL) is now updated to Irrlicht 0.6, including the new tutorial/example (which means that you can find a Dev-CPP project for it here too )

Added examples 6, 7 and 8, then new DevPak is up at the same address as above, weighs in at about 4MB or so at the moment. Please help testing it. :)

Also, searching the Dev-CPP forums I discovered this recently opened site: http://devpaks.org/index.php which aims to be some kind of central ...

Hi all,
It works like a dream. I had no problems installing it and running the examples.

Perfect, good to know!

Why do you need to convert the examples? I tried to run an example from the original Irrlicht package and it crashed.

The crashes are due to the fact that Irrlicht for Dev-CPP is ...

Cool :) I didn't know what a DevPak is until now, seems to be very useful :)

It is, makes it possible to get up and running with a new library without almost any effort. :) And if it is included in the official Dev-CPP mirrors, it can not only be installed automatically from within the IDE, it ...

Hello people!

In an effort to make it easier to get Irrlicht up and running with Dev-Cpp, I've started creating a DevPak for the SDK. A DevPak is the package system Dev-Cpp uses to install all those other nifty libraries, so of course Irrlicht should have one too. :)

Currently this DevPak installs ...

oops, actually that sorta a typo. i don't actually call them .level files, they are just .XML, but what is important is the way i format them. although, the idea does occur that i COULD call them .lvl or something of the like, would allow me to differentiate between the different formats of XML ...

I did understand all the benefits of scripts in general before :) but what you basically are saying is that lua is well suited in terms of implementation (easy to embed/extend) and it is possible to clean up the syntax significantly? If so, gotcha - it was just that it looked like your example code ...

You might want to consider just embedding lua into your app, and using that to describe the scene.

I do that for my visualization app. The user just loads a selected lua file, and the lua file sets up the whole scene by calling all the irrlicht functions you'd call after parsing your own scene ...
