Irrlicht Engine

The concept is great! I can't wait to beat more drechozombies. We need more blood and gore in this game!

Is that Celine Dion?

The main problem is how to make the game known and how to get people to see it.

The main problem is to make a good game. If you make a good game people will see it, trust me.

Is there some way to place billboards or any other kind of sprite scene node in Deled and import it to Irrlicht? Maybe there is some work-around? Generally how do you guys handle sprites in maps?

Here is code for splitting a mesh in two and retrieving those parts:


// returns frontMesh
IMesh* getSlicedMesh( IMesh* sourceMesh, IMesh* &backMesh, plane3df plane )
{
SMesh* smesh = new SMesh;
SMesh* smesh2 = new SMesh;
irr::scene::IMeshBuffer *pMeshBuffer;
SMeshBuffer* smeshbuf ...

I got this piece of code working which crushes the mesh along a plane, like it would hit a wall or something. There is probably a memory leakage when I create an SMesh and SMeshBuffer, Irrlicht doesn't take care of that right?


IMesh* getCrushedMesh( IMesh* iMesh, plane3df plane )
{
SMesh* smesh ...

Loading individual models is an easy solution but the problem is that it is a lot of work from the modellers part. And I don't know if you wouldn't have to align the parts manually, which is not nice.

As for bitplanes idea from cliptohyperplane:
This is a nice thing. From looking how it works I ...

Does anybody know a dynamic algorithm?

Anywau if I'd make breakable parts in a modeling program, could I store different meshes in lets say different frames? For example:
Frame 1 - engine
Frame 2 - tires
Frame 3 - back
Frame 4 - front
Frame 5 - windows
And then make a complete model out of these 5 ...

I would like to break a mesh into pieces. For example I have a car model loaded from a file and I want to split it in two through the center (thus creating two models). Any thoughts on how could this be done in Irrlicht?

That's it, thanks! I didn't know what to look for.

Shouldn't there be something like: in the beginning of render()?
I had some strange issues without that line.

Do you have any tips on how could I render bullets? The best bullets would be Half-Life style if you know what I mean, sort of transparent lines with changable width and length. How can I achieve this in Irrlicht?

OK thanks. I searched the forums but I hoped there is nicer way to do this.

I have a GUI window and I want to detect when it is being closed with the X button. I can't find any event for this. I tried checking if the window is visible but it seems it is always visible even when it is closed .

Great hack!
