Irrlicht Engine

Hi all

I'm trying to compile the Quake3Map tutorial and am getting the following error

Debug Error

Program (blah blah blah)quake3Map.exe
Module
File: i386\chkesp.c
Line 42

The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually the result of calling a function declared ...

Thanks Tyn I'll try that.

Its difficult to give a screenshot warui as its only really noticeble when actually moving round.

For an example though. Load up the specialFX demo as provided. Stand at one wall and look at the opposite wall. Then rotate around a point on the wall. You'll see what I mean.

Hi

You're propably already aware of this, but just thought I'd mention

Theres a distortion in the 3D projection. When you rotate the cameara the derived scene is slightly but noticebly wrong.

I'm guessing that it might be an ordering problem in your matrix calculations.

Oops Missed your post phunk, yeah I've noticed problems with subclassing, I couldn't even get it to compile. I noticed that there was something wrong with setTarget when I tried to reproduce the code in non OOP format. I got it moving fine (well with a bad blur on sidestepping but barring that ...

HI all and thanks

I've actually been trying to copy nicos but have run into problems see my namespaces post. Further to this I found out that FPSCameraSvene node cannot be easilly subclassed as it limiots the interface to public only or something,

Currently it looks like I'm going to have to ...

Thanks for the advise but I'm truying to extend the FPS camera for a specific reason

The FPS Camera doesn't work quite like a real FPS camera, its more of a spectator camera.

Even with gravity etc it still attempts to move in the direction you are facing in the Y so you get a straight bouncing ...

hi all

not sure if this should be here or in the advanced section but here it goes

I've been trying to create a more standard FPS camera i.e. one which ignores movements in the Y from keys. I've pretty much achieved it yet got an insovable bug (or at least one which I can't work out at the moment ...

can't see whats wrong but you could try to deal with the 2 keys using drop through case statements i.e

swicth(e.KeyInput.Key)
{
case KEY_KEY_W: case KEY_UP:
do something
break;

}

just a thought

Steve

I was hop[ing I wouldn't need to do that because of the need to work out the distance between the target and the camera on each update. Hey ho if needs be then I'll have to do that.



cheers Chev

I'd like to say that I'm pretty knew to irrlicht myself, so this is simply my understanding so far based upon limit experimentation and similar systems

Irrlicht like many modern systems deals with events, which may be mouse clicks, key presses etc. These are passed to you in a common fashion via ...

Hi all

I've found a serious bug I think

I've experienced it several times and for several reasons

When you try to run the app normally it works svae for runtime bugs in my code, however running the debugger terminally crashes the computer. This especially happens if you make a mistake in an event ...

Hi all

I'm trying to create my own FPS type camera yet am having problems.

I've created a custom event handler which currently processes only mouse movements. I've worked out the change in angle correctly (in radians) and now wish to update the camera. To do this I'm getting the camera current ...

OK I've got aa mesh manipulator now and still no joy. Heres the code I'm using exclusing the function create Cube which simply adds vertices and indices to the mesh buffer mb (This I think is working as they do display correctly )

SMesh mesh;
array<SColor> col;
s32 i = col.size();

col.push ...

Thanks Nico

Disabling Culling does remove the problem. I tried recalculating the meshes bounding box using its own recalculateBoundingBox method and this has no effect.

As the IMeshManipulator is abstract, do I need to subclass this myself or is there an SMeshManipulator availible or something ...
