Irrlicht Engine

Mh, I'm not sure but I don't think so. Just try it out and report any experiences/errors/exceptions .

If it's such a simple task as making a ball bounce, you could still try to use bones. Scale the bone in one axis to make the ball squeeze.

Put the "extern TheClass * TheInstance" in each cpp file where you need it. I think it's not valid to put extern declarations in header files.

@Fanfan: What do you mean with "the exporter doesn't work anymore"? Is there any error/exception?
Maybe try to remove all assignments before converting so they are generated freshly with the re-assign. Just an idea.

The parallax mapping is really really great! One thing I noticed though, is that the lighting behaves wrong. In one direction (horizontally or vertically) the normal directions are swapped. The following image demonstrates that:

Great Niko. Thank you! I like the frequency of releases lately!

Now I'm gonna post a bug report (parallax mapping, with fix).

The meaning of the return value of OnEvent is "absorbed". If you return true, then you "absorb" the event and no other event receiver (like gui elements, or fps cam etc.) will receive it.

The default return value should be false. You return true in at least two cases:

1. You handle the event and ...

The exporter will export all and only selected meshes.

Can you send me your current blend and x file?

"no opening brace in mesh material found in x file" sounds a bit scary to me. I wonder how that can happen.

Btw. I have released version 1.3.1 of the exporter. This one checks if the objects ...

In MSVC you have to use WinMain instead of main like Midnight said PLUS you need to set the SUBSYSTEM to WINDOWS instead of CONSOLE in the project settings (Linker/System).

Unfortunately IGUIElement has no getType.

You could use "Runtime Class Information" ("RTTI") and use "dynamic_cast" to find the class type.

Use the quoted words to google for more information.

Note that this feature must be enabled in the project settings of MSVC.

@afecelis: Well, one (high priority) goal was to be able to load it directly in irrlicht. If it doesn't work then please tell me!

I'm sorry, but i think that's not true. That is exactly my problem: there are tons of keydown <-> keyup event pairs when a key is repeating... :(

Oh really? But this is a Linux issue then. Because on windows there is only key up events when the key actually is left up (just tested it to make sure ...

Version 1.3.1 is released:

It seems you have the same problem that FanFan had recently:

Does your blender scene contain SubSurf meshes? You (currently) have to convert them to polygon meshes before exporting.

I just released a new version of the exporter (1.3.1 ...

I'm not sure about your problem. But I noticed your main loop has no beginScene.


driver->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(255, 128, 128, 128));


Also your ShellExecute has no "lpOperation" parameter.


ShellExecute(NULL,"open","../Irrlicht/irrlicht-0.9/bin/VisualStudio/01.HelloWorld_cs.exe ...

Why would you clear the keypressed flag yourself?

keyBuff[event.KeyInput.Key] = event.KeyInput.PressedDown

will do that when the key is released.

And how do you know when a key is repeating or when its pressed several times? When it's repeating there will be no keyup events (PressedDown == false ...
