If you're gonna make a CS clone , why don't you use the graphics engine CS was made with - Half Life? Half Life is already geared towards FPS games, so it will be easier, look better, and run faster. Irrlicht is an all-round graphics engine. You can make ANYTHING with it, but your type of game (say,...

Heh, I think you don't know what translucent means. www.dictionary.com A thing is translucent when it merely admits the passage of light, without enabling us to distinguish the color and outline of objects through it; it is transparent when we can clearly discern objects placed on the other side of ...

Make sure you use image sizes power of 2 (For example 256x256). You may also call IVideoDriver::setTextureCreationFlag(ETCF_OPTIMIZED_FOR_QUALITY, true); Exactly. If your picture dimensions aren't a power of 2, they get resized by the video card, and you get yucky pixels. Open up the textures folde...

Well, this isn't the way commercial games do it, so you shouldn't either. They make their own level data format, that consists of polygons generated when the level is compiled or loaded, and pre-built 3D files, like .3DS, .MD2, etc. In your case, I have 2 suggestions. Both will most likley require y...

Judging from your first post, it sounds like you haven't been through the examples yet. Well you said you went through the techDemo but it's very complex. The examples actually step you through each process, just read the commenting in the code. There are tutorials on the website that are the same e...

At the moment, Irrlicht is very picky about it's model formats. .X format is your best bet at the moment. Niko is focusing on making it work properly before all the others, because it is the most appropriate gaming format. Otherwise, try using a combination of programs to make a file Irrlicht will b...

Yeah well, comparing Irrlicht, an all rounder engine, made by one guy, as a hobby in his spare time, to a commercial engine, focused on a specific game type, made by a team of proffessionals who are being paid to do so, is pretty pointless. What IS a good bench mark, is that my 'crappy' computer, do...

Do you have the same problem with other 3DS files? If no, then try making a simple version of it, try it, add more things, try it again, till you re-produce the problem, and you may have a better idea, or help us get a better idea, of what's causing the problem. Same principal for trying different 3...

so I did the transformedboundingbox thing, and I still have the exact same problem -- the box will be attached to the most-recently-created node that's visible -- except NOW, the box floats way off behind and below whichever node it's attached to, which makes it even less useful. :( Also, for some ...

AssiDragon, if you can manage C on your own, that's fine. But that's a very specific case. Teams of programmers will preffer OOP because they can work together more easily using it. And I also support Niko's choice to focuse on .X support for now - it's easily the most 'bang for your buck' in terms ...
