Irrlicht Engine

as far as i know there is no cvs set up for irrlicht. however, the source code for the latest release is included with the engine. just download it from the Downloads page.

pretty sure this has been discussed b4. search the forums. i think it will be fixed in the next release but im not to sure.

well, hopefully irrlicht will have shaders support sooner or later. however, i dont recommend them as being the only way for the engine to use bumpmapping simply cause not all video cards support pixel shaders. just MHO.

oops, i guess we're kinda getting off topic here

have u told devc++/msvc which directories to look for the lib/include files in?

ok, forget the cg idea since right now it is nvidia only. still shaders support would still be cool. getting irrlicht to compile on OSX probably wouldnt be to hard would it? if i had a mac i'd try to myself (if u wanna donate one...... ).

and 0.5 will be released 'when its done'

the problem's on this end too.....

@ HUNT3R - the console spits out sum stuff about missing textures. this is OK. the textures are actually there in the .pk3.

what do u think about Cg? do u think it will be useful at all or will it fizzle out the way the voodoo cards did? i kinda agree with the latter oppinion (it will fizzle out) especially with OpenGL 2.0 (supposedly) on the horizon.

right now i live in da US but im originally from (French-speaking) Quebec. so i can speak English & French.

stupid me :oops: look what comes just after the first part:

reflections (cube mapping)
DP3 bumpmapping (plz?)
CG support?

and MHO on sum of the other engines cyberbob mentioned:

crystal - the feature list is getting really sweet looking.....but crystal is getting bigger and bigger and more and more unorganized or so i feel. now simply initializing the engine takes hundreds of lines of code. IMO the difficulty that ...

i've also been checking out many engines. i found irrlicht accidentally on flipcode.com. so far i've been very impressed. its fast, open-source (zlib not GPL), cross-platform, and can do lots of stuff. here's what i think of the other engines u mentioned:

neo - really getting to be a pretty good ...
