Irrlicht Engine

Thanks for the help, hybrid and bitplane. I went over my math again and saw the mistake I made. After I fixed it it all checked out but wouldn't draw. After I went over the custome scene node tutorial again, I realized that I gave my node a parent of 0 instead of the root scene node, so it wasn't ...

Thanks for the advice. I'm now using a CMeshBuffer, which simplifies things a bit and cuts out some of the room for error. It doesn't look like the problem was with passing a bad index count to drawIndexedTriangleList, though. It's also not being drawn upside-down, I just took a peek with an FPS ...

I am working on a custom scene node that consists of an X/Z plane of polygons. My plan is to make it similar to the built in hill plane mesh, but with functions to get/set the height and colour of the vertices on the fly. I know that other people have made similar things already, but I thought this ...

Good news, it appears to be back up.

I solved this problem a little while ago. It works for me, and it might also work with what you're doing. It's similar to what MasterD was trying in the first post, so I don't know why it wasn't working for him. My event handler looks like this:


bool LEvents::OnEvent(SEvent event)
{
// GUI ...

You can try device->getSceneManager()->getSceneCollisionManager()->getRayFromScreenCoordinates(), and then do collision on that line to find the best place to put the camera. I don't think that would produce a good zoom effect, though. It would look really strange if something suddenly walked in ...

Did you try anything like this?
This works flawlessly with my MS3D models, but I haven't tried it with any X models. It should repeat the animation once every time it is called.

Well, any game based off of any of the Quake engines gives you a zoom effect if you decrease FOV. Half-Life 2 does that too, and it's very far removed from its Quake engine roots if it even has any of the original code left in it. I haven't played any Unreal Engine games since Unreal Tournament, but ...

Quake 3 BSP support isn't necessarily so that you can load Quake 3 maps, it's so that you can use various popular FPS map editors to make content for your project.

For example, I'm thinking of using GtkRadiant and its GenSurf plugin to make terrain, rather than using Irrlicht's terrain rendering ...

In all the FPS games I have played zooming has been achieved by reducing (not increasing) the FOV, whether it was a built in function or a user made macro. Does Irrlicht's camera really function differently?

A few questions about your methods since I'm curious about different styles of programming.

1. What is the purpose of having the main loop inside a class rather than the main() function?

2. Is there anything wrong with making pointers to the Irrlicht objects globals? I know people say to avoid ...

I know that this is a forum about Irrlicht and that you want to use Irrlicht, but doesn't Flash do 3D nowadays? It might not be as nice lookng as Irrlicht, but I think it would be much, much easier and would also be cross-platform.

3DS files aren't "maps", they're meshes. That is, they're a bunch of triangles that you can attach to a node in the scene to visually represent something. A scene node can be a weapon, a room, a character, an item, a projectile, or anything else. Essentially, an object that needs to be visible in 3D ...

Did you try typecasting the IGUIElement as an IGUIListBox? I've never had to do that before, but I think it might work.

The link in the first post doesn't seem to be working for me. Does anyone still have a copy of it?
