Irrlicht Engine

Thank you for your work! I'll use the SVN version then, and if any changes need to be done on macOS I'll inform you

PS: Any ETA on the 1.9 release?

I need a 3D engine to write a game. Don't need any modern features (the game will be made in late 90s - early 00s style), and Irrlicht looked like the perfect choice for my needs. The problem is that, when trying to compile the last version (1.8.4) under macOS Catalina with Xcode 11.4, the compilati...

Do you have an ETA for this? Can't wait to check it out!

This looks insanely great!

I have voted for MacOSX, as it is still my main OS for many things, although I use Windows XP for others (no intention to update to Vista...)

Would be awesome if IrrKlang were released under the zlib license, so users might add Mac / Linux support, static linking, etc.

I will debug it on a Mac and on a Window box at the same time to see where the value read from the file is wrong and try to fix it.

I have tried loading a .b3d file in the SVN version of IrrLicht under a PowerPC Mac platform, and it crashes. It works on Intel Macs, so it seems that it is a bug with the endian conversion when loading the file. I took a look at the source, but I couldn't find where the error is .

I am using the SVN version of IrrLicht and noticed that IVideoDriver::setAmbientLight() does not work. It is extremely easy to fix it: 1) Open the file "ISceneManager.h", and add these two methods to the ISceneManager class: virtual void setAmbientLight(video::SColorf ambientColor) = 0; vi...

The EMT_REFLECTION_2_LAYER material type seems to be inverted on OpenGL. While it is supposed to have the reflection map on Texture1, and the diffuse map on Texture2, it is the other way round (while in D3D9 it works correctly).

EMT_TRANSPARENT_REFLECTION_2_LAYER simply does not work.

There is not menu option in VC6, and I don't have it installed to see what was needed to be changed. I use VC++ 2003 which has a simple list to change the type of project.

Link your Windows application against the static library (irrlicht.lib?) and that should work. Otherwise just include ALL of the Irrlicht source files into your application project. I really wonder hoy you were capable of compiling a program without inclugin that .lib file ;) This lib file does not...

All the methods which create a node (they are all in the ISceneManager class) have a "parent" parameter which you can use to set the parent of the new node.


If you want to change the parent of a node after creation, you have the ISceneNode::setParent() method.

I accidentaly delted the zip file and the download link is broken. would somebody mirror it?

AFAIK, you can get a singleton instance of an IrrlichtDevice, basically because it's not a singleton class. You can have several devices in your application, you are responsible of storing the resulting devices after calling createDevice();
