Well that puts a dent into using that converter. Any suggestions then on how I can convert md3(with animations) to a well supported irrlicht file type?

Hello,



I upgraded my irrlicht 1.2 to 1.3. The code compiles fine but when I use the same code I used for irrlicht 1.2, I cannot load more than one model into the scene. Only the last model that I asked to load, is loaded. When I revert back to irrlicht 1.2, I can load more than one model into the ...

In the meantime you can use a program like Biturn to convert the files to another format better supported; like 3ds or OBJ or something: http://mirex.mypage.sk/index.php?selected=1 Milkshape would also work but is not free.

ok, I am using c# and I want to use Microsoft visual studio c# gui's. But there is one problem.

The use of some microsoft visual studio GUI's like the menustrip slows down the frame rate tremendously.

Any soloutions?

never mind, i somehow was testing for the wrong key, your suggestions worked out right

public bool OnEvent(Event e)
{

if (e.Type == EventType.KeyInput)
{
keyboard_down[(int)e.Key] = e.KeyPressedDown;
return true;
}
return false;
}

is my .net code.
Where exactly do i make it false. I have tried everything and it still does not work.

When i use the Event reciever class to get input from the user, its stops the FPS camera from moving. I have searched the forums and have not seen an answer to this problem. Please tell me how I can fix this.

first make sure that the mesh actually exist by creating an error message like if(mesh==NULL)
MessageBox.Show("Mesh does not Exist");

Put this code immedietly after you set the mesh variable to the filename

if the message box does not pop up when u run the program then go back into programming ...

For your models, if your using Animated Mesh Scene nodes, then you could do something close to this

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode*Model=smgr->addMeshSceneNode("Fill in Parameters")

then to set the position you would do
Model->setPosition(vector3df("Fill in X,Y,Z chords")
