Irrlicht Engine

thx

Hi, Is there a easy way to combine different Meshes to a big one? I've got something like 2500 Copys of a very simple mesh... At this amount of meshes the overhead takes quite a whole bunch of time... (reseting & calculating the matrices etc.) So I Would like to combine them to a few bigger ones...

well, I like it very much.. but the proportions look kind of strange.. I guess the upper body is to "thick" -> not like he eat to much but like hes covered with somewhat like 30' of some material. everything else ist great

you have to convert the GLSL shader to a HLSL shader..
GLSL ist the shaderlanguage of openGL.. hence you only can use it with opengl... so what you have to do is learning HLSL shader language and convert it..

Well, I do use Linux (I think its quite comfortatble to programm under Linux) But I got a windows, too, that I boot from time to time... I personaly like Opensource Software, cuz I'm able to change / or bugfix it myself. Example: A neat lib for rendering (not irrlicht, but SFML) well.. I needet to g...

cool projekt dude (didn't test it though.. linux user ^^)

well, thats quite a good idea .. I guess this is the best idea ^^

well, I do not plan writing an engine... Its just I'm curious how this might be done the best/most elegant way... :P So lets assume someone would want to desing that ueber entity-engine, what would be the way to do it.. (wll, I know there are several ways as always, and no one turns out to be the &q...

mdx got a f***ing strange way of using bones.. you have to split the mesh into single segments.. each segment will be acting like a bone itself.. so no bending nside a segment.. now there is a initial pose in which all the segments do fit together.. Warcraft uses this pose to identify which vertex h...

Irrlicht is a pure grafics engine.. so no netcode at all..
Irrlicht got Highmapped LOD terrain by default.. But there is a great Chunked Terrain around I think.. regard animations.. btw.. why don't you just have a look into the features list?

dammit I think it was the following page :
magos.thejefffiles.com
http://www.wc3campaigns.net/tools/specs/index.html
is quite good.. looking for MDX i found the following two working sites + magos(down):
http://kmkdesign.8m.com/downloads/
http://www.wc3campaigns.net/tools/specs ... Format.txt

dammit I knew a site that got the specs..
(you should have a look into the tools section of the big WC3 modding sites.. there are different converters.. and on one of the builders HP there were the specs for MDX/MDL) - gonna have a look

Somehow I came over the question of how to build a good entity managment.. (it somewhat keeps me thinkingy -_-) Idea: an Entity Manager that got a map/vector/tree of entitys (maybe somewhat organised as a Quadtree or stuff). via manager->register(MyEntity) one can add an (derivated class) Entity to ...

cool.. thx for the link

I got an idea.. though I'm not sure wether anyone would be interested.. some kind of grafics challenge. A finished minigame is released as opensource. (Including grafixs etc..) I would imagine something very small.. Maybe something like Supermario in a single room fighting ongoing waves of creeps or...
