Irrlicht Engine

T101, interesting idea. :) Not sure, but wouldn't be an std::map (or perhaps an std::vector ?) be simplier though? I know, needs STLPort, but technically it shouldn't be slower... I think :?


Why does it need STLPort? map and vector or both part of the Standard C++ Library, and most current ...

Generally, speaking I don't believe in Open Source; sure it would be great if we could all work on exactly what we want and we didn't have to worry about money. However, until we catch up with a Star Trek like society that is not the case. Therefore, I actually prefer products that are not free ...

I am dealing in 2d only. I have a 64x64 texture, that I want to bind to an irregular shape. In opengl, this is trival, I setup a triangle strip, and bind the texture. What I am looking for is a software algorithm that covers how the pixels are filtred/expanded/average to make it fit on the shape. I ...

Can't niko rename the IUnknown interface to IIrrUnknown? That would solve some problems like that i think... ;)

That is the purpose of having namespaces, so you dont get these conflicts. By effectively disabling them, you opened it up to potential conflicts. If that one is fixed, who knows for ...

Hmm, found the error, was actually in my IImage subclass, so the excerize at least caught that bug (hadn't shown up under opengl, strange). Anyway, clearly the approach I considered for present is way too slow. So will have to investigate it more, and learn some more X.

Also, I have a much better ...

Tracked in down some more, seems to be in addTexture() when using the Software Render under linux.

I think there is more then the method present() needed. For that method, I did the following:

//! presents a surface in the client area
void CIrrDeviceLinux::present(video::IImage* image)
{
os::Printer::log("In CIrrDeviceLinux.", ELL_WARNING);

// TODO, display IImage in X, just like in ...

No offense to niko if this isn't right.

But...

This is starting to show signs of turning into Neoengine. For those who don't know, about a month ago, the dev of Neoengine, after being out've contact for a while (like niko), decided to drop neo1 to start a new engine. Now, I think this is ...

I came upon this in irrlicht's code:
//! presents a surface in the client area
void CIrrDeviceLinux::present(video::IImage* image)
{
// TODO, display IImage in X, just like in CIrrDeviceWin32::present()
// I'm new to X and did not find out how to do this quickly.
// If someone knows how to ...

You only ever need one scene manager, there's no point having more than one as it manages multiple scene nodes and draws them on screen. I don't know what would happen if you used multiple scene managers but it is basically a waste of resources and memory having the multiple instances.

How then ...

I am working on an isometric game, with the ability to stretch tiles based on the altitude . So like a 2.5D game. Bascially I have two pieces of artwork, a diamond for the times the tile should be draw 2d, and a texture when it should be bound. I am considering doing an ISceneNode subclass, that on ...

Well, I posted this on SF Bug tracker as well.
Anyway.....

On linux (SuSE 9.1), the example 9.0 for irrlicht examples always crashes with a seg fault.

It tries to read the configuration file, and in the file:
CXMLReader.cpp
method: void CXMLReader::parseOpeningXMLElement()


It gets to this line ...

I have a texture, I want to bind to a polygon. The game is totally 2d, isometric, but with an "altitude adjustment" (like the Ultima Online 2d client).

In native opengl, I would just Bind the texture to my polygon, specifiing the vertexs for the four sides in 2d coordinates. I don't think this is ...
