Irrlicht Engine

Why not read the data in as a char* and then convert it to a stringw? Then you can use that to get a wchar.

Example:

Why not just write an EventReceiver that does all of that stuff for you on a normal, standard camera?

I'm not using Jirr, just regular Irrlicht 1.0. I've found that you can't remove the root node, you have to remove it's children. If remove doesn't seem to work, why don't you just set the visible on the window to false? For the new level, just update what's contained in the window (I'm guessing it's...

Try using updateAbsolutePosition() on your scene nodes before you set them visible. I can't guarantee this will help, but I had problems sort of similar to that and it fixed the problem straight away.

I've done something similar, although it was easier for me because I only have a few selectable "things". Give each unit a unique ID. When you make a scene node, pass the units ID as the scene node ID. Then when the user selects a unit, you can find out what node they are selecting (using ...

Hey, I've got a little graphical glitch in my game, I'm not sure why or how. It's not making it unplayable, it's just annoying me. Basically, I have a big scene node that is an arrow, and I hover this above players to show they are selected. When the game loads I load this arrow, set its visibility ...

Cal3d does blended animations. Klasker wrote a scene node for it. Each animation is stored in a seperate file, and if you select the bones you want in the animation before exporting them you can then blend two completely seperate animations together. I'm planning on using this (but haven't gotten qu...

I did something similar in a very easy way... I made a texture that was a 32x32 png file that had an alpha channel in it (i.e. blue and 50% transparent). Then, when the mouse was over the node, I simply added this texture as the 2nd texture to the node. When the mouse was over a new node, I just set...

There's a few posts that people have made about how to move scene nodes independent of frame rate - the same would apply to a camera. The basic idea is this: If you want to get from A to B in 10 seconds, have a piece of code that each render loop calculates how long it has been since you were at poi...

Hey guys, Does anyone know how would I go about attaching a gun (well, basically any scene node) to a specific bone in Klasker's Cal3d scene node? I know I need to make the gun node a child of the parent node, but how do I get the node of just the hand bone so I can make it the parent? You can get t...

The Cal3d format stores animations in seperate files. You could use it to implement that.

Irrlicht doesn't support Cal3d, but Klasker (I think that's his handle) wrote one already.

I don't use a dual core processor or a dual CPU machine... I use an AMD 64 3200+, running on 32bit WindowsXP.

Hi, I found this bug last night while I was mucking around. To me it definitely seems like a bug. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Basically, I found that ITimer->getRealTime() sometimes returns a slighltly incorrect value. Here was what I was doing: u32 starttime = Timer->getRealTime(); //blah bla...

Yeah, I assumed that's why the cube nodes didn't show gaps between them. I changed the spacing of the tiles (they were 200 units wide, so I made the placement loop place them at every 195 units) and that fixed it. I wasn't satisfied with this answer though, and so I loaded the mesh. Sure enough, it ...

Hi there, The other day in another topic people were talking about using a tile based map. Now, what I had suggested is using a heap of cube shaped nodes and putting them next to each other, which is what I was doing for my tile based map (which, by the way, is only every going to be 20 x 25 tiles -...
