Irrlicht Engine

Hmm... I expected this kind of replies.

i voted for "No way!" because:
1. C# umm... kind'a sux. I have more fun with c++ :P
That's only a matter of personal taste. Personnaly, I love C# and hate VB.Net. But I'd never say that VB.Net "sucks": I'll just say "I don't like VB.net". If your concern is ...

Here's a short summary of the project I'm currently working on. Most of the work is done now, and hopefully the AGE Library will be released before the end of April.

I know, this is quite long for a "short" summary, but I wanted to expose my project as clearly as possible. I'm really curious to ...

Looks even better than before! I especially like the menu, looks fantastic!

I couldn't remember the controls and it seemed to run a little slow on my pc, but then i did have it set to highest detail, so that's probably why.

Also when i exited the program crashed and XP tried to send an error ...

Beta 2 is complete and available for download !

You can get it here : http://cafedefaune.com/projects/worldofideas/files/

I won't worry too much about trying to change your game to XML instead of ini. The ini code/strategy works fine and your time would be better spent working on verion 2 :)

You're right. Anyway, thanks for the tips on XML. I had never took the time to look into this format in depth, but from what I ...

Thanks Shoarc. Although I'm afraid it would be a lot of work to port my project from Irrlicht.Net to IrrlichtSharp, I'll do it if I can't find another way.

I just wish Niko could add the GetXJointNode function to Irrlicht.Net 1.2...

I'm not too fond of TrueType fonts. If you're not using one of the Windows default fonts (and why would you? Default fonts are dull-looking...), it's pretty complicated to distribute your own fonts with your package : to make sure they're detected by Windows, you just can't copy them into the ...

Thanks for your comments everyone. After so many nights without sleep spent on it, I'm glad to see this project is starting to get some serious attention (I had very positive feedback on a french videogame forum too Here's a link in case somebody here speaks our weird but beautiful tongue).

Now ...

I'm having trouble with .X joint nodes.

I used to use .MS3D models in my project. I could then attach other nodes to specific joints with the getMS3DJointNode() function, it worked alright.

But I've decided to switch to the .X format, as I had "animation flickering" problem with .MS3D because of ...

the model and the animation key frame ?

Very well done.

As you can read in the game PDF manual, animation key frames and models are based on models for the "The Specialists" mod for Half-Life.

You've just brightened my day.

The shader doesn't even have to be very clever. As lightmap application is trivial. If your lightmap is modulative, all you have to do is to multiply the result of lighting and normal mapping with the lightmap texel.

Ok, but how should I do this ?

1- Using Irrlicht's default NORMAL_MAP material ...

First, I must warn you : I'm really new to shaders, so please be kind if my question seems stupid to you. I don't know what shaders can and cannot do (although I've understood they can do quite a lot).

Here's the problem : I'm working on a versus fighting game, World of Ideas (you can download the ...

Create a "normal" camera node (created with "addCameraSceneNode()", not "addCameraSceneNodeFPS()") and read input from the keyboard (left/right keys, or customized ones) to move the camera target, hence indirectly rotating the camera.

You won't have an easy time implementing this (getting correct ...

Do you have pixel shader 2.0 support, or does your machine use the 1.4 version? Maybe you can even try to use the 1.4 version even if you have 2.0 support as they are rather different.

My video card (GeForce 5950Ultra) uses pixel shader 2.0. I'd like to try with the 1.4 version, but how do you ...
