Irrlicht Engine

Hi! While discussing with SteelStyle on IRC, dunno how we came to the conclusion to unite our skills to make a demo looking like this or like this ! Who knows how long it will take. Might be long for a single person. Not to mention we all have our own side projects. One sure thing this project will ...

ASCII is inside the exe, thus loaded by the exe loader of the OS and duplicated in memory! However for my last demo I grouped several files as a single zip; for security reasons not performances or memory. From the performances point of view it avoids to read on hard disk, expensive system calls (re...

For future readers, it is 1 unit = 1 inch, legacy from Doom. Player height is about 72 units in level editors as well as modelling programs.

IMHO its a bug. I had exactly the same symptoms yesterday, solved by using a special simple mesh for shadows.
Bonus : FPS gain

Christian, is it possible to get back position and radius of the lights from the 3DS or B3D to call a smgr->addLightSceneNode() ? Because in the old one everything is dynamically lighted. Ceiling can be removed, to use a skydome? Just asking because I dont have Gile installed. For a LOD demo what do...

I can change image for PHPBB2/3 if you need time

"Are animations in .X and .B3D files defined specifically in the mesh files, or is it the programmer's job to hard-code animations based on moving a few bones?" with irr you can do both. 1) Create animations in a modeling program, and play just one of them by indicating the start/end frame...

it is a zip embedded inside the exe, rename the file called temp.

How many FPS do you get?

Sure, could you try these models to see how you can improve? http://irrlichtirc.g0dsoft.com/kat104/FPW.zip 2.8Mb 20 of them affected by static LOD and minimal AI.

The code is ok... So what's wrong? Rogerborg went away with his crystal ball... You dont necessarly need another lib for simple collisions.

In bsp files, data is stored as RH (after a loong compile), so either irrlicht has to change, or your application must adapt. You can make the application Right-Handed. When loading a model, parent it to an empty scene node and keep a pointer to its mesh. Later, transform this node, and flip all fac...

Same problem here ... /*EDIT*/ but well it worked after transforming the bounding box with the node absolute tranformation.

Some open-sourcinspiration : pass the device pointer to different functions. Each function has its own run loop (use break; to get out) and returns a value eg. return 0 means "close program", 1->"load map" 2->"display menu" etc... This method avoids checks in the render...
