Irrlicht Engine

Hi

Just thought it was in place with a comment on the 1.3.

If you do break your Api I think you should go for version 2.0. Normally stepping a minor (in a mature application 1.0 ->) I would expect the Api to hold steady. Maybe with new Api function names for additions and improvements.

Great work ...

Irrlicht IS very easy compared to other engines.

But the concepts around 3D math and matrices etc. are certainly not.

Asume you have a vector

V1 ( a point) 2,0,0
You have a vector V2 (1,0,0) pointing to the right
If you add these vectors V1 + V2 the resulting vector will be V3 = V1 + V2 = (3,0 ...

you are creating a new vector in your code. But you need to add it to your camera vector or matrix if it's a translation to make it have any effect.

If you do remeber to not just set it you need to add it. Otherwise the camera will stay in the same place all the time (the new place)

ah that's great news. A bit worrying that the code base will be different which means that it will be a pain to get a new irrlicht release over to C#. But a well running port of 1.1 should be more than well to run. Now with XNA coming I guess more and more will be diverted to C#.

I have also tried ...

Just currious of if it's going to support the XNA platform for Windows and Xbox 360.

I really hope this amazing engine will have that support. I realise this will be a problem with managed code etc. since there is linux support in the engine.

Does anyone have some input for this? I would guess it ...

Is there support for that in Irrlicht 0.12?

Well I have the irrlicht engine running for XBOX. It's not that hard to get to run.

I posted this in reply to another topic but it might apply to some other project too.

Hmmm. You should go to gamedev and read the help wanted sticky and help messages.

I think this is a dream project for most programmers, artists and game designers. But it's out of our reach as hobby developers ...

When I am using the code below I get a very strange behavious. When I just set the camera in the startup of the program the character moves like expected.

But when I set the camera according to the position of the character model it seems like the model will start to rotate around the camera ...

Finally got the textures to work.

Apparently the xbox uses swizzled textures for some kind of optimization. After doing this all textures look like they should.

I also mirrored the texture coordinates of the billboards since all mine where mirrored and upside down

Hmmm well in your opinion anything could be useless.

anyone doing anything on the xbox to sell it to retail store which I guess 99% of the people here will not will have to be a licensed MS Xbox developer. Which is pretty hard to get to be.

A development station is about $10000 and a debug machine ...

Is here anyone trying this out?

From what I have found the xbox normally read .xpr files which is bundled with the bundler tool in the xdk.

So to get the .xpr texture loader working it needs a rewrite of the texture loader for that purpose.

But since you can great a texture surface it should be possible to use the normal ...

irrlichtNX is developing pretty quickly. My only concern there is that it's getting merged a bit to quickly and with limited testing.

I also miss some kind of road map for the NX development it's just bits and pieces all over the place. But it's moving.

I also hope that nico can continue ...
