Irrlicht Engine

Sure, if you use mirrors wrong, they can kill your performance. But if you clip them if they are too small or too far away, it's ok.

Or, if implemented using portals you could simply count the number of times the same mirror may be reflected.

this subject should not be taken lightly ...

I guess you could do this by creating a triangle selector for your level and then, using getrayfromscreencoordinates, get the appropriate triangle and then just intersect that triangle with the given ray to calculate the desired position. The rest of the work is pathfinding etc.

and another question about directX x files:
there can't be more than one uv per vertex in the file.
That's means that the vertices where there is a two uvs must be duplicated, right ?
For example, if you map a leg, the map will be rolled around the leg model. At the seam, two uvs are needed, so the ...

If you want to learn some more OpenGL for the graphics part of it go to nehe.gamedev.net (great collection of tutorials, there's even one about loading and moving around in a 3d world)

The code is still a bit ugly but it works.

Unfortunately...
It's an ERROR 404

Hmm, all user pages seem to be down right now... and i can't access ftp either

most distributions do, but i use gentoo

Oh, btw. display lists are currently only implemented in CMeshSceneNode and not in any other type of node (check the code).

Dunno about the .x thing, removed that along with DirectX (i'm using my own format anyways)

EDIT: Oops, I see why you have problems with textures. The textures have to be set ...

Wierd... did you recompile everything?

This could be really really sweet, though I'm still quite surprised that if you were able to do this easily that niko hasn't already, but THANK YOU.

What about D3D rendering (which I know 0 about). I don't even know if DX uses displa lists, but what is niko doing there? My D3D framerates are usu ...

My OpenGL knowledge is small, my D3D knowledge non-existent, but are using saying that Irrlicht is using immediate mode rendering for drawing static meshes? I find that hard to believe, but if it is in fact the case could you share your code for using display lists instead?

One other thing, you ...

I don't think you need to be in kde to run kdevelop. I run konquerer and kmail in blackbox WM... heh. If I wasnt so lazy, i'd drop to the prompt and see, but I think i will leave that for you to find out. There was a period that i disliked KDE, but K apps are more useful then the X apps that come ...

Just, a small question. Why doesn't Irrlicht use display lists for rendering static meshes in opengl? They are really simple to implement. By adding display lists my framerate increased from 55 to 187 fps. (Although i'm currently wasting a huge amount of memory as i am building a display list for ...

I have a feeling this is *possible* but probably will take too much time to get it working for it to cost effective (cost on your time fro result).

Most ppl will just say export from your program to a .x file and then import the .x into Irrlicht.

But by all means you can extend Irrlicht to ...

SmileMan hit it on the nose, I need to be able to controle the rendering order to "controle" the z buffer from cutting out my 2D elements that need to be place behind, or in front of my 3D objects. Thank you all for the quick response.

Is it very difficult to do what localhost has suggested? Call ...
