What do you think? What would you tell a guy who comes and starts asking how to do a MMO game?

I'm one of those guys who got seduced into the "make your own MMO". I guess I prefer to be a Dungeon Master rather than a Player. I spent two years (so far) trying to design, code, create ...

This code demonstrates that Irrlicht does not rotate the collision response animator ellipsoid when the object it is attached to is rotated. I have posted a stripped down version of my game code here:

Ok, you're looking at a yellow taxi from above. It is trapped in a terrain ...

I have noticed the same problem. If anyone's interested, I can post the code to repeat the problem.

It would also be really nice if there was an easy way to make the collision ellipse visible.

Be careful when you copy Xaron's CSceneManager.cpp code above. After the "//Render transparent objects" line, there is a Begin "{" and after the code there is an End "}".

I rebuilt Irrlicht, and Xaron's patch does fix the transparency problem! :D

However, I am getting a repetitive message:

Error ...

Another one is odbccp32.lib...

Hi,

I tried re-ordering my Includes as Robert Y. suggested, but this didn't fix the problem. I noticed though that the winnt.h reference to POINTER_64 is defined (in the same directory of the SDK) as __ptr64 in the file BaseTsd.h. Therefore, in the file winnt.h if you change this:


typedef void ...

It looks like peterparker's right (BTW, that's a cool nick, especially this weekend!).

Here's a pic with fog off (looks normal):

When I am using Irrlicht v1.3 with fog on, you can see it's not ...

The taxi is a different thing as the 3ds mesh loads correctly, but textures are not displayed. This is a bug in the tga loader. This has been fixed with revision 208.

I just tried this again with Irrlicht v1.3:

whats wrong with viewing it online?
I explained that above. I like to work offline.

synchronize it.
What does that mean? Sychronize it like a database? How does one synchronize it?

why would you worry about the forum going down?
I explained that above too. Because I will lose my favorite ...

Dear ikk,

I have the exact same problem with Irrlicht 1.3, where it says:

Was not able to create Direct3D9 device.

The problem is very likely because you are using an old video card. I have a GeForce2 MX 400, and have the same problem. On my newer PC, which has a newer video card (GeForce ...

I noticed that Tutorial #3 still has s32's instead of u32's:

virtual s32 getMaterialCount()
{
return 1;
}

virtual video::SMaterial& getMaterial(s32 i)
{
return Material;
}


Should be:

virtual u32 getMaterialCount()
{
return 1;
}

virtual video::SMaterial& getMaterial(u32 i ...

Hi,

I often like to work offline, and I'm wondering if there's an easy way to download the entire forum . Or perhaps favorite topics. (I'm also afraid that one day the forum will disappear, and I'll lose my favorite user manual!). Maybe downloading it is unreasonable (is it tera-bytes?!) I can save ...

Hybrid,

Thank you for fixing it. Your bug fix worked - both the castle and the missile display correctly. (My dumb mistake was I re-built Irrlicht.dll, but didn't over-write the old local copy of it in my bin directory... )

Anyway, thanks! It looks great now!

I played with it a little. The tower-tops seems to be skewed about 500 in the positive-Z direction.

Scale, Rotation, and Position don't seem to be implicated (same problem persists). Also, the mesh can be created with either addOctTreeSceneNode or addMeshSceneNode, and the same problem arises.

Hybrid,

Bad news. I tried applying the 3DS.patch you provided. I re-built Irrlicht 1.1, and the problem with the castle is still the same. Also, the missile object still has its fins skewed.
