Irrlicht Engine

The array looks like its being declared alright, and I call it almost straight after it's been created and everything is fine, but then I call it later in the function and the compiler gives me an "undeclared identifier" error. I am thinking that it could be because it isn't actually declared at ...

There seem to still be a number of issues about the EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL material. I found that I couldn't use other types of material at the same time without modifying the engine - see the thread here: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3130

I'd imagine that there ...

Okay, this is just a theory (since I am away from my development system), but if you created your water box and turned off back face culling, would you then see water from both inside and out?

I guess that's the easiest way to make 2-faced polygons - only you get the same texture (but seen from the ...

The tutorials on the main site are very good, there is one on the GUI environment...

There's also the API documentation, which (in my opinion) is a lot better than the headers for working out how to use this all :wink:

I'm fairly sure you also need to enable the stencil buffer for shadows... I could be wrong, but try using the line

irr::IrrlichtDevice *device = irr::createDevice(irr::video::EDT_DIRECTX9, irr::core::dimension2d<irr::s32>(512, 384), 16, false, true, 0);


(Note the last-but-one parameter is now ...

Now I'm confused... hasn't he just increased the FOV from 45 to 90?

Okay, I'll have to post tomorrow night - I have work during the day, and don't have C++ there. I'll try and break it down into the most basic cases - two objects, one with Alpha transparancy, one with ADD_COLOR transparancy. I can't just post the code I found the bug with, as it's a little ...

Okay, I've made the change, and the materials are now working as expected.

The change I made was around line 864 in CVideoDirectX8.cpp (I guess there would be a similar change to make for DX9)


void CVideoDirectX8::setRenderStates3DMode()

Okay, I think I've found a bug with the EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL material...

I can't seem to find any info on this in the forums, except a couple of old posts that say it's not implemented yet. I assume that in the latest version it is now implemented, as on my system, it works just fine ...
