Irrlicht Engine

Thank you for reporting it. I've applied your changes to the version of irrUString.h that I'm hosting.

OK. Thanks for the reply! So if I understand correctly, when you create a ustring it should be created in UTF16 and is stored in that format. If I have another character encoding in the string (Irrlicht bitmap font usually use ANSI-Similar to LATIN1), it will have to be converted first. The USTRING...

HI, Learned more about the character encoding and just figured out that when I open XML files in UTF8 the string is still in UTF8 in memory and have to convert it to ANSI (The Irrlicht font system). Can I use the irrUString.h classes to convert the UTF8 encoded string coming from IRRxml to somethin...

Actually, I believe the majority of usable Chinese characters are in plane 0. Just some of the older characters are in later planes. It should be fine for the majority of actual text.

I expect the string to correspond already to the encoding requested from freetype when drawing is requested. Unless I'm missing something you can pass through utf-16 using wchar_t for example (just will waste 2 bytes on Linux). I think any kind of encoding conversions should already happen earlier ...

That's really neat!

How will you be able to draw unicode glyphs then? Are you just forgoing unicode entirely with your version?

Just some small updates:

• xml_io.patch: Updated to the latest trunk revision.
• irrUString.h: Changed u32 to size_t.
• CXMLWriterUTF8.zip: Merged CXMLWriter.cpp performance improvements from trunk.

If you aren't relying on Irrlicht's built-in serialization to create entitites, and you are just using the XML loader raw, just pass the data you receive to the ustring class. Irrlicht's XML loader won't mangle the bytes at all, so you can just directly pass the data into the ustring class and it wi...

Edit: Reading from of this thread, I think I will have to patch the XML loader, as the data came from there. Correct. Because of how Irrlicht's XML loader was programmed, there is no way to extend or replace it without modifying the Irrlicht source code. You could write your own loader, but then yo...

Ok, so I decided to check out the svn. After fixing a problem with the project file where someone forgot to add files to all projects, I found out CGUITTFont doesn't build anymore. So, here's what to change to make this work with current svn (r4032)! Thanks, but I caught that a while ago. I have tw...

Thanks for catching that. You put it in the right place, so don't worry about that. I've uploaded the fixed version. For anyone who still watches this thread, I have a newer version of irrUString.h in the pipeline. It replaces occurrences of u32 and s32 with size_t to make it more portable. The only...

what pros and cons has IReferenceCounted to std::auto_ptr<> and such? does anybody use boost (its a so big lib) Irrlicht made a design decision not to use the STL at all. That is why you will see manual reference counting and things like core::map. Also, keep in mind that auto_ptr is being deprecat...

You are definitely running into floating point inaccuracy issues. Getting it to work well is going to be VERY tough. It gets worse once you use a single image for your tileset and start zooming the camera in and out. You basically have to make sure your scene objects are being drawn on correct half-...

If you are compiling from the cAudio source, it only includes 32-bit .lib files for its dependencies. \cAudio\dependencies\Libs\windows If you want a 64-bit cAudio .dll file, you need to make 64-bit versions of all those dependencies first. I have a 64-bit version of cAudio working just fine, except...

Or maybe a post with the classes and some simple guidance. I looked at the mentioned aboive "viewtopic.php?f=6&t=37296" but its not so easy to follow without documentation or an example. What part of my thread confused you? I would like to know so I can make the examples more clear. W...
