Irrlicht Engine

I'm still having 'issues' with my custom camera class. So far I've found out that all you need to rotate your camera's view (no translation yet) is to rotate your target point around the camera's origin. core::vector3df CameraPos; CameraPos = this->getAbsolutePosition(); nRotX = (MousePos.X) * -1.0f...

Yep portals would be the best way to go for mirrors.

Out of interest, how for is this Engine from doing this with portals? In otherwords can this Engine do anything with portals, are they even used internally?

Thanks

Ok sounds good, PM me and we'll try and we'll work some things out together.

^^ It's on my site now...

I don't think you can, you can get a build from my site that let's you create your own window class and then pass the HWND into the engine.

Nope, no feature list or solid plans really, so far all I've got is it loading up a quake map and showing it in a 3D view (MFC based app). I prob just start off by developing a basic level format and the ability to navigate the levels in 3D then add support for 2D views + adding models to levels and...

Thanx for the link, I'll check it out.

I'm working on a port of my old editor to support Irrlicht. I will prob use XML to store/describe the levels it creates which will then be read by a simple framework that I'll chuck together. If anyone has written a editor style camera class I'd love to see the code as I'm currently having trouble c...

I'm still struggling to work them out myself but this bit looks odd to me. void cCamera::update1ST() { camera->setTarget(vector3df(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)); } Why do you need to update the target to (0,0,1)? This bit is also a bit strange: // Create translation vector - is this correct? vector3df dist = c...

2. The second problem: crosshair Wouldn't it be easier to just stick the crosshair where the mouse is? You will have to do some conversion between mouse points and the screen coordinates and you'll also need to get client area only points when running in windowed mode. Once you've got the mapping r...

I'm still having trouble understanding how 360 degree camera rotation is meant to work in Irrlicht when you are standing still. I've been doing some tests on my own camera class and so far it's very confusing :oops: 1) I've found that you can rotate the camera by rotating the 'target' point around t...

Damn, I will try and get if fixed.

Ok it's fixed now....

Ok I've stuck it on my site, don't try and use that camera though it's bugged to hell.

Don't inherit from the FPS camera, it prob won't contain anything useful to your new class. declaration: class CCameraEditorSceneNode : public CCameraSceneNode definition: CCameraEditorSceneNode::CCameraEditorSceneNode(ISceneNode* parent, ISceneManager* mgr, s32 id, f32 rs, f32 zs, f32 ts) : CCamera...

I've got a version of the Engine that compiles with the MFC, unfortunately I had to ditch the cross-platform support to support this properly, I can post this to my website if you're interested.
