Irrlicht Engine

thanx mike i'll try and get it working.

yay, it works now thanx hybrid...

...however i'm only getting 2fps!

i have no idea what's going on, i used to get approx 70 on windows,

any help?

sorry i didn't understand what you just said, could you spell it out for me?

ok i'll try and link to the correct lib, any idea how i can find out which is the right one?

hi, i've just compiled the demo i've been making on linux (mandriva) and when i run my app the window just flashes and dissapears, yes before you ask i have got a main loop. I get this output in the console: Irrlicht Engine version 0.6 Linux Creating X window... Starting fullscreen mode... Connectin...

ok i'll give that a try but if anyone has any other ideas then tell me.

i've added the lights and setup the model to use lighting i was just asking if i could make them flicker, i wondered about placing the light insde the particle field, and then setting the particles to cast shadows, the constantly moving particles should create the effect i'm after but i'm not sure h...

hi, i have a room in which there are several flaming torches made using the particle system, i was wondering if there is a way to light the room from these torches and have the light flicker etc.

Thanx

wow, i wonder what m$ have been smoking, they don't even charge you!

Neway, i'm happy at the moment cos i just got Mandriva Linux (the new version of mandrake), and its my first linux distro

Thanx, and i allready am! allthough i've only got 0.6 at the moment, i will upgrade but i'm putting it off cos i'm on slow dial up!

m$ and open source... i have to see this, link please?

yay... i fixed it, for anyone else who has the same problem make sure that each part of the model that has a different texture is a different group/object. me happy now! lol

I joied as a very inexperienced programmer, who could not understant c++ code, so i took time out to learn c++ than came back, (you may be wondering why it took so long - i got sidetracked by several as...

bah! when have you ever known m$ to give anything away for free! Use linux if you want a free os, Mandrake and Slackware are free, easy to install and easy to use, and irrlicht does work on them. PS, if you want to use windows software on linux then use a windows emmulator such as WINE http://www.wi...
