Irrlicht Engine

Hah, my machine is a P3-450, GeForce2, 384mb Ram, and the Special effects demo looks fine - same as the other examples (about 50 FPS).

You're using both the 'evil' technologies (AMD, and ATI, as opposed to Intel and nVidia) - maybe that's why

(Just kidding )

WELL... When I compile the collision example (the one that draws triangles at whatever part of the level you point at, and lights up the 3 faeries.), I have to use OpenGL (cause DirectX won't work yet for me). The faeries are completley lit (as if lighting is disabled), so you don't see the differen...

It isn't possible to have textures not applying the power of two rule due to limits of the video card, not Irrlicht. Using 192 will still have a drop in texture quality due to it not being the power of two. It's something every 3D programmer has accepted and unfortunatly we will have to do the same...

As of now it's pretty close to 50%-50% so using DX8/9 would cut out half of the community :? Well, if you're targeting the people who've responded to this thread, then yes, but if we go by these global internet statistics here; http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp we see that Window...

The next questions is sprite animation in 2d. I have a bitmap with frames of a sprite animation. Does IrrLicht support sprite animation and if so are there any timing options? Ideally, of course, all sprite animations should be framerate independent. Anyone have any tips on how this is done? There ...

So if I want to display a texture of size; let's say 640 x 144 or 192 x 768 I am out of luck Yep. 8) And you're going to find that's the case with pretty much every 3D engine out there, without some kind of additional layer that processes your image before it gets to the video card. Because; textur...

If the example works with the map that comes with Irrlicht, and doesn't work with your maps, then there must be something about your maps that it doesn't like. You're probably better off solving this problem at the map level, rather than trying to compensate with programming. You should look into th...

Shouldn't this be in the general forum?

Have you looked into modelling them yourself? I can recommend some good free/cheap modelling programs.

You don't trust me, uh? :) Well, at least it worked perfectly for me. No, it's not that - I know it works because it's working for people like you. But I can't get it to work, and neither can Arras, so when he finds out what he's doing wrong, it might be the same thing I'm doing wrong, and I can fi...

If you look carefully at games that have mirrors in them, you'll see that it's just a trick, and not a true mirror that calculates what is visible in the mirror, and reflects it to the camera, which would be very costly to rendering time. First trick, is to just duplicate the room behind the mirror,...

Is this a C++ syntax misunderstanding? You need an object of type "ICameraSceneNode" to be instantiated. eg. 'ICameraSceneNode camera = scene.getCamera();' but don't type that, it most likley won't work - it's just my guess. You'll have to examine the scene object in the irrlicht help file...

Also check the animator object thing (the one that is demonstrated in the Movement example) - it might be able to do it automatically (I haven't checked it myself).

Well post here if it works! I'd like to know.

Generally speaking, you make a TIFF or TGA image with an alpha channel. When you load the image, the alpha channel will be applied (black areas are transparent, white areas are opaque). That's the typical way to do it with 3D games. I say 'generally speaking' since I'm new to Irrlicht and don't kno...

I know, it was some other person who said that. I was aiming that post at them. Sorry for the confusion.
