Irrlicht Engine

@Tyn: is it possible to make bad graphics in Unreal Engine 3

i have a few questions about going about a few things.. 1.) how did Irrlichtt make it's particle emitter? does it use 2D bitmaps on a billboard? 2.) someone made a mesh in 3dsmax and is using maxscript to export it to a different extention with a different layout.. now im trying to render this file....

it's not #include <stdin.h> it's #include <stdio.h> and for C++ you don't need the .h at the end..

#include <iostream>

will work and is what is standard.

and what is so bad about sticking alittle return 0; at the end of a function?

there is a post about it in these forums.. but im sure there is something about it at GM's forums too.

you could use GM to make a game, yet using C/C++ would be much more powerful i believe.

here are a few problems.. not all are related to Irrlicht.. some are general C/C++ problems i can't figure out. 1.) my biggest problem, im using Sleep() in my program and before Sleep() i remove some models and add an image.. after sleep i remove the image and display a new model.. here is what happ...

ah? where did that come from? and i looked too.. i wanted to make sure i didn't post anything already posted.. i missed it.. even though it's the first one on the list

*hits self* bad me..

well thank you then.

a pause function.. i looked an i didn't see anything.. is there any way to make a pause function for the game? example.. hit F10 and a window is created and the animations of the game are paused.. i was thinking of making a while look that just checks to see if a certain button was pressed to unpaus...

i would like to make my own packing system but i wouldn't know how to.. or where to start.. and ideas on how to go about doing that OR something on the net somewhere that tells you how to do that?

to destory a class instance i believe it's

something like that..

try


that may work.

like you said a .pk3 is a renamed .zip.. so can you unpack .pk3 with winzip still? if so then could i pack everything into a .dat or something like that? and if i do make my own packing extension.. could Irrlicht unpack it?

this is sorta not related to Irrlicht.. so if this is the wrong forum then sorry. If i release a commercial product and it uses models and other 3D related objects.. how can i get it so the program can call the models without haveing the models there? like in games that are released into stores.. yo...

it seems you are sending a certain class type to the function in a param that wants a different class. you cold either change the class type or typecast your code.. example.. (im assuming that gunanim[0] is the pointer to the class) guns[0] = gProc.smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode((irr::scene::IAnimat...

errr... i want the model to crouch so when im doing multiplayer mode the others see the model crouch.. but since when you are playing you don't see the model.. i want the camera to go down so it can fit threw small areas.. and also the model can jump so it moves into higher areas.

how would i go about implimenting something like that? im sure i could write it if i knew how the engine worked.. but it seems like it's defined in an ENUM.. i could add it but it wouldn't do much..

in Irrlicht you have actions like

EKA_MOVE_FORWARD
EKA_MOVE_BACKWARD

etc.

if you were making a FPS game, how would you do jumping or crouching? since there is no

EKA_JUMP
EKA_CROUCH

is this just not a capablitity or would you have to do this manually?
