Irrlicht Engine

You can use the procedural trees I made.

And while you're at it you can google "french military victories" too.

Try downloading it again. I resized two of the textures to have a power-of-two width. I still think it's a bug in Irrlicht, that it uses coordinates after resizing, instead of remembering its original size.

I've been checking out the tree generator extension and really appreciate this contribution from klasker. I compiled the Trees.zip file from http://www.wc3jass.com/files/Trees.zip without too much trouble in Cygwin. But then I decided to get the latest from the IrrExt project subversion repository ...

Can I control this entirely my changing the near plane, or are there other factors? It is possible that disabling the stencil buffer when creating the Irrlicht device will leave more precision for the zbuffer, but that also means you can't use stencil shadows. When that is not enough, you can, in t...

It sounds like you need a shader, if you know how.

I don't know how much space and traffic a sourceforge provides, but I think the possibility of attachments alone could be worth it. When it is so much easier to post a screenshot, more people will be inclined to do so, and it is much easier to help people.

Am I supposed to be able to fix that? Thank you for posting it and all, but I am afraid I can do nothing to fix it. Maybe it's related to the issue etcaptor is having with my tree scene node, since both problems appear equally sense-less to me.

Sorry for the lack of support

Could you please point out how a race condition can occur in a single-threaded application? I didn't think so. It is not a race condition. It sounds like it can't load the XML files in the "../trees" folder, which explains why the tree mesh is null. Did you export all the files from the .z...

...but few were aware of the dreaded truth: That the binary number system is in fact just variations of "OLOLLOLOLOOLOL..." written in 1337-speak! Compilers are literally laughing at your code, while recording everything to an .exe file. Some believe this is why certain programmers suffer ...

I thought Irrlicht would resize npot textures if the video card does not support it. But does that affect how the coordinates in draw2DImage are placed? It looks like that's the problem.

The example uses OpenGL and it uses a GLSL shaders to draw the leaves, so it's not a D3D-issue. Did you run the precompiled file I provided (in the msvc folder) or did you compile it yourself? In any case, it looks for its data files in e.g. "../textures", and it sounds like it can't find ...

Yeah, that's a nice implementation of some ideas already mentioned. The problem is that you cannot release the VBO when destroying the meshbuffer. Since you gave up the tight coupling with the video driver there is no way to inform the driver of its destruction. EDIT: Nevermind there is already gra...

I didn't read everyone's posts closely, but I'll just throw in some thoughts I have made about implementing VBO's while maintaining a "nice and clean" design. Nice and clean would include simplicity, thread-safety, loose coupling, and non-monopolization. A hardware buffer can be regarded a...
