Irrlicht Engine

Ahhh this is so annoying! I have created the device fine but it's still saying theres somethnig wrong with the line ITexture *BGTex = Blah;

OK basically I want to decalre the IrrlichtDevice *MainDevice in a header file using the extern keyword and then to define it inside a function in a .CPP file. I then want the device to be accessible to all other files that need it. However at the moment I'm having to re-define the MainDevice pointe...

I initialise the Devices and Drivers in a function called initSystems(). It's called before initMenu() but if I don't re-initialise them in the same source as the initMenu() function I get the Error Unresolved External blah error. If I have to initialise it in each source code that kid of defeats th...

OK so I want to load a texture and display it on the screen. In a header file I have the following line: //Background extern ITexture *BGTex; extern IGUIImage *BG; This throws up no errors and is OK. It is the following line in a .CPP file that gives me the error. ITexture *BGTex = Driver->getTextur...

node->setVisible(false)

That will hide your node.

Didn't work. Still gives me a load of gobbledeegook. I am having to put two strings together in order to get the full path and file name. The user inputs them separatly and my program i suposed to put them together and use the file to create a heightmap. I changed the character arrays to stringc's b...

Yeah this is really annoying I can't load anything from input from an editbox... which is kinda crucial to my project.

MD2 works nicely especially if you're using Milkshape. If you're using 3DS Max you can use the Pandasoft .X exporter.

I have made a dialog box in which the user can enter the path and name of the heightmap file they wish to open which will then be used to generate a terrain. Of course the text from the editbox is a wide character string whereas the parameter for addTerrainSceneNode needs a const char *. I thought I...

It all works now. I have finished my Saving/Loading routines. Thanks for helping.

You are indeed mistaken. But you learn something new everyday

But thanks anyway.

OK I simply want to write (Create if it doesn't exist) to a file. I have tried using both IWriteFile *File; File->write(WriteBuffer, Size); and IFileSystem *File; File->createAndWriteFile(Filename, false); However neither of these methods seem to work and I don't want to have to resort to using C++ ...

You wouldn't happen to have the reflection material type setup would you?

Why not just have s SceneNode for Violet Teapot and one for Green Teapot.

bool irr::video::SMaterial::AnisotropicFilter Is anisotropic filtering enabled? Default: false. In Irrlicht you can use anisotropic texture filtering in conjunction with bilinear or trilinear texture filtering to improve rendering results. Primitives will look less blurry with this flag switched on...
