Irrlicht Engine

Hi, I have a grid of terrain "chunks" which are parented to one object (to easily rotate and position). When I rotate around the yaw to a value between 0 and 90 (43 in this case), the culling on the chunks becomes very strange. Below is a screenshot, the chunks appear to disappear in a lin...

Check if the camera is below the water, then increase the fog range

Its working now, thanks very much!

Hi,

If I use the following code:
My application crashes (corrupt pointer style). The value returned is actually 0.

You can replicate this by just using one of the examples. It doesn't seem to happen with 3D sounds

If you sell the product containing the MySQL libraries, you gotta pay. Its expensive

if OO isn't important, you can just use the MySQL library provided in their download.

I haven't had a good experience with .NET and C++

I know C# has a Control.Handle method/variable. So you should use the C++ equivalent. You just need to get the HWND of the picturebox, or of the window or button that you are parenting irrlicht to.

Lightmaps often use a second set of texture coordinates.

in HLSL, you specify the texture or sampler register of the lightmap, irrlicht handles the setting for you. I don't know what this is in a GL equivalent.

If you are using a multipass shader for the fur (like the rendermonkey or FX Composer demos), you'll have to add your own multipass support to irrlicht.

Just apply the texture to the object and retrieve it like this:

sampler2D tex0 : register(s0);
sampler2D tex1 : register(s1);

you need to write a shader that does two scene passes. In pass one, you build a like projection matrix (like a camera projection matrix, but from the lights point of view) You then renderer that scene to texture. the PS output will be the "depth" of the pixel in the scene. In the second sc...

I've found VS 2005 the best IDE and Compiler I've ever used

You need to:

Click Tools -> Options.
Expand Projects and Solutions.
Click VC++ Directories.
Use the top Righthand List to choose what type of directory you want to see (usually includes, libraries)

Use the icons below the list box to manage entries.

DX based hardware buffers mean changing code that allows cross platform ability. It is much faster though. Shadowmapping would be nice, but this would be down to creating a shader yourself, since people would only then complain that the shader did not do X Y and Z. HDR and Bloom? Make it yourself, i...

I found the crash on mine when the destructors try to drop all the objects in the mesh cache. I haven't found out why its an issue, but its probably due to something being deleted and not removed from that list.

I have a vertex alpha'd terrain in the D3D driver, and it will not display correctly.

I've been trying to check the mesh loader, but the values returned seem to be correct. If I force the alpha to 0.5 when loading, I can see all the textures on all the layers :/
