Irrlicht Engine

Yea, this is just the very first release. I'm working on a few things right at the moment for this. I'm adding a fluent interface for both the simple steering behavior and the modular behavior. The next "big step" will be defining an API that allows you to create a custom summing/priority ...

I've written a "copy"-ish of opensteer. I didn't care for the coding style they were using, and am trying to stick with a much cleaner code system with pluggable behaviors and summation systems and etc. This is still in a very new stage, but I'm open to criticisms and ideas, I still have t...

Basically, whats its doing is changing the amount that the player moves on the X and Z axis due to its rotation. So, if you were standing on a clock, looking at the 12 oclock mark (90 degrees or pi/2 radians) , then sin is going to give you 1 and cos 0, so in that example, so, on the x axis your goi...

What you could do to try and fix the bad walking of waypoints is to do some sort of flood fill on the map that you are working on, so that it has waypoints all over it.

Hey! I was thinking about doing something along these lines awhile back. (A generic AI type engine for irrlicht). Anyways, I'm gonna try and read over the source code today or tomorrow, and see if there is anything I can add. I will look into trying to make an algorithmic pathnode creator (i.e. you ...

on my x2 2.5ghz with 2gb ddr2-866 and 7600gt i get

50fps on opengl windowed, 70 fps on DX windowed

and about 550 on both in fullscreen....

why the big jump from windowed to fullscreen i wonder?

OOOH OPENAL

I thought it said open a i.
as in artificial intelligence... damn.

I used an array to make my random wandering zombie code. just say like ... IAnimatedMeshSceneNode nodeArray[100]; IAnimatedMesh = smgr->getMesh("zombie.ms3d"); for (int i =0; i < 100; i++) { nodeArray[i] = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh); nodeArray[i]->setPosition((0.0f + rand()%100) ...

If you scale the terrain using the built in terrainrenderer, when the mesh is created, the scaleing isnt taken into consideration comparing the vertex count with the amount of pixels in the bitmap.... basically, its always going to have the same number of triangles/pixels in bitmap, SOOOOO this mean...

I just put forums up today.
I have been lazy.

lol.

Anyways, more news to come.

I've started the core design for an mmorpg (small scale) that im working on. It will be cool. i promise. hahahah Im sleepy. I just got off work, and now its time for class. WEEEE. Anyways, check out the website. its in my sig. i think. Ill announce more when i actually have a working demo, atm, i ju...

instead of implementing all your movement and such according to the framerate you might want to try doing it independent of framerate.... such as... moveforward() { timefactor = currenttime - starttime; setposition = movevector* timefactor; } something like that, so that no matter what fps you get, ...

if your wanting to make the mesh actually there, but invisible (like a window say) then apply a texture with an alpha transparency,
else just load the mesh into the IAnimatedMesh and dont set it to a scenenode.

hope that helps .

IAnimatedSceneNode->getMesh(0);
returns the first mesh in the node.
or should.

why not just make a new int outside like startframe = -1; endframe = "whatever frame it stops on " say 100 like niko does with the FPS counter in many examples increment inside the main loop, and just call the if(startframe < endframe) setframeloop(frame) startframe ++; then you could rese...
