Irrlicht Engine

Hey TGM - sent you a PM.

Working on AI at the moment. Have got a FSM framework up and running, but its still VERY basic.

Hey guys...
Just noticed this (http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/xna/) whilst downloading c++ express to put on a mac laptop running windows. *

Looks interesting, although you have to pay $99 to play your games (its free to develop them, you just have to pay to play!)

So what do you think?

Yeah, its a pitty they don't make their old games available - at least id have released the source for Quake. I happened to have an old copy of the game I picked up years ago and I've managed to rig it to work in WinXP. As far as more screens go, well at the moment not a lot has changed from the ori...

An update for those who are interested (somebody... anybody? )

- XML loading of pathfinding waypoints
- 'Spawnpoints' for enemies

Umm... forgive me if I'm being stupid, because I haven't looked at any VB code for a while, but do you actually make the call to the SetTexture() sub anywhere?

Not sure, I've got it working ok with the first method (just setting the position of the camera).

Maybe its your Newton settings that are causing the jerky motion?

Are you using an FPS camera?

Hey, I can think of two options... Firstly just get the position of the scenenode that the Newton sphere represents every frame and then move the camera to match... core::vector3df location; location = mySceneNode->getAbsolutePosition(); camera->setPosition(location); The second - easier - way to is...

Hehehe. The lighting is scary - waaay too bright, and then super dark

For anybody who is interested there is a review of the original game Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels at the underdogs website.

Its a FPS with a commander element, like in newer games such as BF2.

Hey dawasw,
Nice models - not bad for a newbie!!!

Hi guys, I just thought I'd let you know that I'm starting a new project, my first major project with Irrlicht. Its a remake of one of my favourite old games, Space Hulk. I'm no artist so for the meantime the focus of the game is on AI, and gameplay. If I get it to a point where I think people would...

Yeah, I think I'll use quake style maps - as I said its my first major project in irrlicht - I've only made 2d VB games before :) I've got quake-style maps working for a simple test game I made. Your approach sounds pretty interesting - particularly the self mapping bit, did you get it working in th...

Thanks JP, sounds interesting... One question - how did you represent the dungeon as a grid style? Did you just read from the map mesh, or did you have some other method? As I've mentioned above I can handle the pathfinding algorithm itself with no probs, its just a matter of getting the data from t...

Hi Acki, Thanks for that, I'll have a look :) I'm fine with writing a pathfinding algorithm - I've done an A* one for a game I wrote in VB.NET ( :oops: ) ages ago... I was going to do Dijkstra's this time just for something different, and A* if it was too slow. But the small number of nodes should m...

Hi guys, As my first major project in irrlicht I'm trying to make a basic FPS. I'm trying to steer clear of things like STL, and AI libraries as I think I'll learn more that way! I have made some data structures to start with (lists, queues etc) and have now moved on to some basic pathfinding. The m...

I believe this question was already answered in this post
