Re: Puzzle Moppet (now free)

Ok, now the source code is released:

--> http://garnetgames.com/puzzlemoppet/
----> http://garnetgames.com/PuzzleMoppetSource.tar.gz

But be warned: it's very ugly in places, and uses an obese and overly complex engine I was working on at the time.

Re: Puzzle Moppet (now free)

Hmm, I did try most of the things suggested; it's on the Ubuntu Software Centre, Desura, the Mac store... I manually emailed a *lot* of review sites of all different types, and used a press release distribution service several times. (I did get several reviews on some minor websites, and a lot of co...

Re: Fullscreen (focus?) problems in 1.6 [update: and with 1.

Switching to xrandr as described above worked for me... at least I didn't get any more reports of this problem after that. It required modifying CIrrDeviceLinux::switchToFullscreen so that XRandr was tried before XVid. Or I think there are compile flags you can use... I'm afraid I lost my source and...

Re: getCursorControl->getPosition() on Mac

Hello, this appears to still be present in 1.7.2 ;) Cursor Y position is inverted when full screen. Thus, also the camera controller Y motion is inverted (e.g. try 02.Quake3Map *fullscreen* on Mac, the Y motion is opposite to on Windows and Linux). I imagine this might also mean the GUI is unusable ...

Get desktop resolution with NULL driver in Mac

Hello, it would be nice to be able to get the current desktop resolution when starting with the NULL driver in Mac. (currently just returns a size of 0,0). This is possible in Windows and Linux. you can in CIrrDeviceMacOSX::createWindow remove the line: VideoModeList.setDesktop(CreationParams.Bits, ...

Re: Crash on Mac OS when specifying wrong window size

The suggested fix, as far as I can see, just causes the error to be caught. But it would be nice to try a valid window size instead. So what about this: In CIrrDeviceMacOSX.mm, replace                 Window = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(0,0,CreationParams.WindowSize.Width,Creat...

Re: Lack of keyboard input in a windowed Mac OS X applicatio

I'm not certain if this is the exact same problem, but for me, when using CMake and make rather than XCode, the solution to get input working was to package the binary as a .app See here: http://jesper.sarnesjo.org/blog/cocoa-sans-xcode-and-interface-builder/ So ensure your binary named APPNAME is i...

Re: Neural nets, Boring gameplay?

I think this is more useful when evolving offline, e.g. at high speed and not involving a player (bots fighting against themselves). About fine tuning and whether the results will be fun, in this http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=189008 the best tactic often seemed to be simply g...

Ahh, sorry, I thought this was for the default theme.

For the record, I hate the current default :)

Re: Do YOU want a third theme for the forum?: Poll

So where's the "none of the above" option? :P I find them all rather clunky.

My vote goes to "subsilver2", it's fast and lightweight, like Irrlicht :)

(and seems most similar to the old theme)
