Irrlicht Engine

You mean the models themselves aren't good enough?

Hey, that's exactly what I'm doing for my current game. All I did was keep the cursor on hidden and draw a 2D sprite in the center of the screen (the "real" cursor is still invisible). For the FPS camera the cursor really just stays in the middle, and I didn't see the need to change that. It's ...

I'm asking anyone living in the USA: How does living in a country that is in a state of war affect you?

It doesn't affect me (or anyone who isn't fighting it, as far as I can tell) very much. It affects who I'll vote for when I'm old enough to vote (not that I'd probably have voted for Bush ...

Be sure the running directory of the program is the same as the project file.

Sorry, if you're doing this from scratch, that won't help. The file path is relative to the running directory of the program, so set it to point to irrlicht's media directory from wherever it is running.

in 1 or 2 years time you will find babies programming before they can even talk.

well thats the wish of weired men who think everything can be learned at any age... but sadly that is not true: due to the unevitable development of our brains we are not able to really think rationnaly during ...

I think there is a setting in b3d files I use to get EMT_LIGHTMAP_M2, if not you can always loop though the materials on the mesh, and check if it is EMT_LIGHTMAP before setting it to EMT_LIGHTMAP_M2.

See, that's a clever idea that I'd never have thought of on my own (mainly because I didn't know ...

Hi,

I have giles now so I should be able to look at the problem better.

But it may just be that you are using a blend mode that I couldn't get in irrlicht.

do the .png leaf textures have an alpha layer, you can get irrlicht to use this (I forgot exactly which blend mode it is ...

What you're really asking is "how many units in Irrlicht correspond to one centimeter in my modeling tool," but unfortunately this is difficult to answer, because not only do we not know what tool we're using, but we don't know what file format you're using, nor exactly how the file is exported, nor ...

I think it just uses nonspecific units. It doesn't really matter as long as you keep whatever camera settings you have relative to the units. Just treat them like centimeters if you want and you should be fine.

Just as an update, I tried the my3d exporter that came with Irrlicht and the result was this:

As you can see, the UV coordinates of the base texture and the lightmap are switched for some reason.

This is how it looks in gile[s] (how it's supposed ...

So I have a level with trees in it that I made in tree[d] (from within gile[s]), and if I use masking or alpha testing the leaves look perfectly fine in gile[s], but when I export the level to a .b3d file, the transparent portion of the trees is opaque (they look like squares). The leaf texture is a ...

I have a mesh with some texture maps and then a light map, but I'd like to add another texture with parallax mapping on top of this for things like cracks and other details (so it's not just repetitive and flat). Is there an easy way to do this, outside of modifying the engine? I'm really not ...

Wow. I wasn't paying any attention to what I was doing. Sorry about that. (I'm glad it occurred to you that I was doing something so stupid). Thanks.

OK, my last problem was a result of profound stupidity, but now that I'm past that I have another issue (I'm reusing the same topic to reduce clutter). It seems that the light maps from irrEdit are being rendered as solid black and the smaller polygons that had their vertex colors set by the ...

You should check the material definitions for these things. But if it's not supported right now it should be easy to add a new material that fits your needs.

Hmm. I'm still quite new to irrlicht, so I'm not really sure where to look. I've looked _here_ , and I didn't see anything particularly ...
