Irrlicht Engine

You have to know that the lights don't cast shadows, the objects cast shadows I think this is were the problem lies..I guess DynamicLight1.CastShadows is if the light ITSELF has a shadow..that would make since because when it gets translated to D3DLIGHT9 there is no option for shadows..I think i'll...

have you verified this works..becausde that was what i originally did..there were in fact no shadows..but the light did not emit any light either...

i'll dig some more when i get home tonite..

let me explain what i'm trying to do..I want a dynamic light that does NOT cast shadows..but there will be others that will so just setting the flag on the model will not work.. after digging a little through the source i found the following.. in slight.h we have: struct SLight { SLight() : AmbientC...

ok i changed CLightSceneNode to accept a flag to cast shadows or not. but when i set it to false --no shadow..but no light as well....

the specialfx demo simply calls
addLightSceneNode

i'm digging through the source now.. can i just overload the addLightSceneNode function and CLightSceneNode to allow for shadows on/off??

yah i checked that and still no dice.. the only way i can get lights in is to use: levelNode = smgr->addLightSceneNode(0, irr::core::vector3df(100,0,0), irr::video::SColorf(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), 100.0f); Yet I have no control over stuff lick cast shodows or not..thats why i was looking at addDyna...

i have: rr::video::SLight DynamicLight1; DynamicLight1.DiffuseColor = irr::video::SColorf(254.0f, 254.0f, 254.0f); DynamicLight1.Radius= 200.0f; DynamicLight1.CastShadows = true; DynamicLight1.Position = irr::core::vector3df(0,0,10); then i call driver->addDynamicLight(DynamicLight1); yet i see no l...

my bad i rescaled my model in milkshape and everything is in the right place now..

ok this werks kewl however when i add the stencil shadows i notice i hover off the floor..I put the faerie in there and it did not hover..so i'm assuming i need to send some kinda ofset to my bounding box (for collision) because it would apear that that is what determins your Z..(in relation to the ...

hmm i dug through the code and that line was already there..maybe i do not know what i'm talking about so here is a pic I'd like it all to look sharp like the right corner...

my biggest complaints with torque is this: you HAVE to relight the scene (takes about 3 sec) to change shadows cast by BSP on the terrain. And little things like:they hardcoded the sun vector ..an easy fix mind you but whats up with that?! Shadows cast from entities with transpearancy (ie trees) kil...

OMG.. I should have sent you guys the $100 i just blew on torque. .Anyway..The engine seems VERY kewl.. I only have one question..where would i go to turn off LOD or mip mapping on bsp textures.. on the bsp renderer, I noticed the textures on the walls are a bit fuzzy then come in clear as i get clo...
