Irrlicht Engine

Hey!

I haven't used irrlicht for a while now and searching didn't gave me the answer I am looking for:

Have they added Texturesplatting for Terrains to irrlicht in the last year?

Thanks,

Hi, I just wanted to post, why I am here at the moment...

The screenshot is nothing special, there is the terrain with the houses from the irrEdit Examples and some palettes randomly on the screen. Oh, and a stupid window and a button ;)

I am ...

I think the fixes from Luke are still not in the downloadable version or the svn, so you will have to wait.

I may sound alittle harsh but at the moment, I think in nearly every third thread here: Why are you all start Programming (Scripting is not programming) and do your first C++ experiences with 3d Stuff.
Sure, 3D Programming and making Games is fun and really cool, but even if you get your questions ...

First: Thanks for the answers, were alittle busy so I didn't looked here for some days.


@trooper: Well, I want to place my game into space, so I need the space at the bottom of the scene too, so a dome wouldn't fit my need

@rayban: I will try your Idea, but some hints on: how to make it right ...

Creating octrees on Linux is alittle messed and I didn't found out why. Profiling the code, the problem is in the delete area of the array.
Creating an octree on Windows with a gcc compiled test needs around 2 seconds, the same code, again with gcc and the same optimize-options needs around 20 ...

I am in the need of a skybox for a space-environment. I found a tool ( Universe ) with that you can paint universes onto a texture up to 1600x1200 and written a little tool, that does 2 things:
- Drawing a base-image like that (you can provide filename and resolution:

#
####
#

- Split a Image ...

Uh...

In profilemode: 33 seconds in:
irr::core::array<unsigned short, irr::core::irrAllocator<unsigned short> >::erase(unsigned int, int)
next ist 7seconds:
irr::core::irrAllocator<unsigned short>::construct(unsigned short*, unsigned short const&)

As far as I understand, the arraystuff takes ...

you cannot specify the 3d position of the mouse, because you don't know how far the mouse is into the screen.
The MousePosition mapped onto your screen is on a line between the point of the mouse on the nearplane and a point on the farplane, so you need something to find out where on this line (ray ...

I am using Code::Blocks both in Linux and Windows.
Both are compiling the Source in Release mode with -s -O3 -fexpensive-optimizations

Still: ~2 seconds for OcTree on Windows, ~20 seconds on linux =(

Needed 22999ms to create OctTree SceneNode.(1274 nodes, 47433 polys)

As there are some more ...

When you compile Irrlicht and don't have the DX-SDK available, you don't have DirectX support, right?
Perhaps that is the problem.

you should provide a errormsg.
your question is like: "I bought a car, turn the key and the engine doesn't start". Noone can give you an answer without knowing details.

well, I will use -O2 or -O3 than, when I am home again and look if I will get faster results.
thanks for the hint

I am having a mesh ([url=http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17286]here is the thread[/quote]) and ) I generate a OcTreeSceneNode out of it.

When I use windows this takes around 1-2 seconds. I am using gcc under windows. When I boot Linux and recompile the code there (same PC ...

Yeah, great work!

first I’ll see if bitplane can fix that bug in openGL.

He was going to look at it today.

Are you using the SVN?

I am currently using the downloadable zipfile but wouldnt make a big difference to use the svn version instead.

Thanks again for your great work
