Irrlicht Engine

I've been working to get rid of the last few warnings from my program and found one that seems to be caused by irrlicht, I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else agrees with me.

line 695 in irrString.h:
for (s32 i=0; i<used-len; ++i)

that line is giving me a unsigned and signed integer ...

Hmm

Sounds about right, but all members of the class Goal are initialized in the constructor, and the instance of goal itself is initialized in the class Ship. The error seems to still be there...

I brought up a call stack and there was only one entry:

Nr: 0
Address: 7C901231
Function: ntdll ...

Huh,

This time I ran the code:

GetDriver()->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0,0,0,0));
DrawStars();
std::cout << "Flag 1" << std::endl;
//GetManager()->drawAll();
std::cout << "Flag 2" << std::endl;
GetGui()->drawAll();
GetDriver()->endScene();


And the result was:

Flag1
Flag2
Flag1
Flag2 ...

Ok...

So this is a really odd bug,

I have written some testing flags around my code like this:


GetDriver()->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0,0,0,0));
DrawStars();
std::cout << "Flag 1" << std::endl;
GetManager()->drawAll();
std::cout << "Flag 2" << std::endl;
GetGui()->drawAll ...

Wow,

This might be IRRelevant (bad pun) to my problem, but:

I ran it just now, in the hopes that it would crash and I could click debug and perhaps get a call stack, but it lasted almost 15 seconds before crashing, and I noticed that all the Ship::EnemyShip::BasicEnemy1 objects sought out their ...

sure, Ill try getting a stack dump. Ive used them a bit before, but i doubt it will help too much because I know basically where it crashes. Basically, My code runs, manipulates billboards, does a bunch of other stuff, maybe calls remove() on a few billboards it doesn't need and then calls my Draw ...

Nope,

I never use drop...

just remove()

...

I figure i must have somehow deleted an internal object or perhaps messed one up somehow... but I have been looking over my code with a fine tooth comb and havent found anything... I just dont see how this is possible!

Also, if it matters, the error doesn't always happen at the same time, usually ...

So I have been getting a pointer error:

An Instruction at [HEX-address] referenced memory at [HEX-address]. The memory could not be "read".

I have tracked down the error and it always occurs during the method GetSceneManager()->drawAll();

I have been trying to figure out what could be the ...

Alright,

Thanks a bunch!

Many MANY thanks!

Its working. I only have one problem left right now, and i think my own code is to blame...

The orthographic view is working now! I am still not sure I get why the coordinates are where they are, but even if I cannot change the coordinates to be lowest in the upper left, i can ...

So, I found a thread: (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2643) which in the end did have a solution for how to enter an orthographic mode, but I am having two problems. Here is the code i am using to enter the ortho view:


GetManager()->addCameraSceneNode(0, vector3df(0,0,100 ...

I have been having a very strange problem for several days now and have been scraping my code with a fine comb to find the problem, but as far as I can tell, all my code is working fine. My only explaination is that perhaps irrlicht is just really messing stuff up internally... but i doubt this is ...

Thanks!

removeTexture is exactly what I wanted!

So I was told that manually deleting a scene node that you added with add___SceneNode or similar messes up the system. I understand this and have changed my code to fix using the remove() method. I was wondering however, does this apply to textures or can I just delete (ITexture* variable)? If I ...
