Irrlicht Engine

Hi Bakura

You can download a test application from my page. It shows (well, at least I try to) how to load the gui using xml.
You will find the zipfile with the sources and a precompiled version at the buttom of the page. The tutorial is work in progress a.t.m. so forgive me if its not complete ...

Lately I've had some trouble loading files into my application.

The Irrlicht FileSystem object is surely a fine thing and the way it allows to add ZipFiles is really cool. What I like most about it is that you can mount a ZipFile and tell the engine to forget about paths when loading textures ...

Cool demo Brent

Looking at the code would surely be interesting, do You mind to share it?

Cheers

Tom

Hi freegadgets

Because the collision checking of Irrlicht is somewhat slow I use the collision primitives of the physic engine currently ODE but I think Newton GD has surpassed ODE by now ;)

Anyway, typically it is not such a good idea to let meshes collide with each other because it tends to be a ...

Hi all:
This lib is realy great. I only download it and compiler it. It work great.
Also thanks to zola,ZDimitor,UzMaN... u really great to do thsi job. I think if i have a big detailmap (may be 1Gbyte),how to solve it.have any idea.

Hi

One solution would be to devide the terrain and the ...

same error as dingo
If you could add the irrlicht.dll your using? Maybe it doesn't work at my place because I'm using an irrlicht version I compiled myself.

Bad management, but sadly not 'only' in the game industry.

Here's another blog from someone who got fired

And here are the thoughts of someone with a clear focus :)
forward this link to your project managers ...

Another method to get the right resolution for the mesh reternud by getMesh() would be to give the create method an additional parameter float staticRes which you use for drawing the mesh.

//! loads the terrain
bool CLMTerrainSceneNode::create(IImage* heightmap, ITexture* texture, ITexture ...

Is there any progress with this project?

try putting "/Zl" into your libmini project

"the project's Property Pages" -> " C/C++ " -> " Command Line" -> /Zl

/Zl : This option omits the default library name from the .obj file.

No!
I told about that:
LibMini terrain scene node generating geometry on a fly (each frame it updates according to the cameras position and rotation) and the snenenodes meshbuffer contain not all geom data of the terrain (just viewable sector of it), neded to collision detection.

If You only ...

:D Collision rescue at hand.

It's very hard to give a resonable number. with libmini you have LOD which takes into account the actual form of the terrain plus you can give a resolution factor.

You can setup libmini to run fast with a very old machine if you lower the resolution, or you can give as much detail such that even ...

Nice work Zola. Any chance of that being added to NX as a define (like the other things that require external libs)?

Read my post about cal3d integration . My opinion is that many of these things - that introduce dependencies into the irrlicht code - could go very good as a seperate addon and ...
