Irrlicht Engine

I'd go with C++. C# is a Microsoft invention to make C++ easier but for that you pay the price of not having direct access to the memory. Therefore C# probably won't be as fast as C++ (unless your C++ code is not optimized). If you learn C# you still won't know C++, if you learn C++ then you'll pret...

You'll need to also change the size of the player for collision purposes. Check out the collision tut and see the point where 3 numbers defin the collision ellipsoid and just change those when crouched. Without doing this your player is still say 6 feet tall but you are just positioning his/her eyes...

I think with all this interest it would make a popular inclusion in the main project itself

I too would relly like to have access to this class. please :)

I'm not sure whether it uses PVS or not.

But it is my understanding that you do the octree culling then if you want further speed gains you can do addtional PVS culls, not instead of octree cull but in addition to

yeah, when the BSP is compiled it just has an "entity" marker and records the location of the model to insert - it doesn't actually include the geometry of the model as far as I know. If I modelled the map using the .x format - wouldn't I lose the advantage of speed associated with an octr...

I still can't get it to work. I'm trying have a light fixture in my map. I created a 3DS light bulb and place it in my map in GtkRadiant. It shows up, I have a copy of the light in the appropriate model folder for Quake3. I replicate the folder structure from where I put my prog (structure works for...

Not following the deutsche 100% but I beleive in English the term would be an Artefact. And I think it might be to do with the fact that the fullscreen z-buffer and windowed z-buffer are usually set separately. I'd just double check the setup of the fullscreen mode and it's screen attributes (zbufer...

To have the W A S D keys used fro movement add the following code (taken from techdemo) SKeyMap keyMap[8]; keyMap[1].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD; keyMap[1].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_W; keyMap[3].Action = EKA_MOVE_BACKWARD; keyMap[3].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_S; keyMap[5].Action = EKA_STRAFE_LEFT; keyMap[5].KeyCode = ...

Is there an easy way to put a static mesh into a BSP and then have it load in Irrlicht?

sorry but I've had too much "real world" stuff on my plate the last little while, I'll be able to get back into it after 15th June when my exams are over. Sorry :(

Oh, sorry Tyn, post post was really more directed as a response to puh. But yeah I fully understand what you're saying. I agree learning yourself from scratch is most probably the best way to do it, and really this first video was just a test of sorts to see I could make it, upload it correctly etc....

like I said this is for the uder-newbie - and like I said in the first post this just the first one - something nice and simple to see it was all possible then I will make better and better ones. BTW Why don't more ppl post some - such as yourselves. I.e. if you think you know how to do better then ...

I put together a little avi that shows just the basics of setting up DevCpp for Irrlicht 0.6 This is aimed at the uber-newbie but I hope make better and better ones later on. Be gentle with you critisism as this is the first of this type of thing I've done. Here is the link - enjoy :) http://www.use...

Check out the tutorials that come packaged with Irrlicht before saying C++ is too hard for you. Also look at www.GameTutorials.com and search around the net for some free books on C++. There are heaps of sources for learning C++ easily. I learnt but just going to nehe.gamedev.net and following his c...
