Irrlicht Engine

And how much memeory does this take up? What exactly would be the requirements for that engine?

Ummm... I thought this was a picture of a game made with an RTS engine he was looking at. Not one of his actual game.

you'll require Quake 3 as I'll probably be ripping off Quake 3 models and stuff until I make my own... And it won't be much too,

Besides pondering to morality of using other artists work without their permission... :roll:

May I ask why you're using Q3 models for an RTS? Is it an RTS like C&C ...

Oh, thanks Robomaniac!

I'll definately have to have a look at it now, but I want to learn to use IrrLicht first for its simplicity.

Nice screens BTW!

Yes, comparing IrrLicht and OGRE is almost like apples and oranges. They weren't made with exactly the same purpose and goal.

But yes, VERY difficult to set up and currently you can only set it up in VC++, now, there is a method that works with DevC++ but it does not support the latest version(so ...

OGRE is a very clean engine that comes close to/is on par with graphics engines used in commercial games, BUT it is hard to learn (much harder than IrrLicht), although, it adds much more features/flexibility for this payoff.

I chose IrrLicht because I am not as advanced a programmer and have never ...

Oh, ok. Thanks for your help! On to tutorial 3!

I just tried this:
and it worked...

Do you really have to use forward slashes as opposed to any type you want? No biggie, really, but it seems like a weird limitation to me.

Thanks for advice thesmileman!

I am also a newb to IrrLicht but I will attempt to help you and answer your question.

I believe IrrLicht is more geared to FPS-type levels, such as maps in Half-Life and Quake.

That being said, I'm pretty sure you could still pull off what you want to do.

Being fair to other 3d engines, you might ...

Maybe post some code?

Hi, I'm a newomer here and I want to get started in 3d programming using IrrLicht.

Anyway, I did the second tutorial on loading a Quake 3 map. I get this error message in the console:
"Could not load texture because mesh could not be loaded: 20kdm2.bsp."

Here is my code:
