Irrlicht Engine

I haven't tried this myself, but I think it's like this:

1. Make your skin class and derive it from IGUISkin ( http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/classirr_1_1gui_1_1_i_g_u_i_skin.html ).
2. Implement all the methods from IGUISkin.
3. Set this class as the current GUI skin with IGUIEnvironment ...

I made something like that a while ago:

Beware, ugly code!

I've recently done some simple stuff using the Mozilla SpiderMonkey engine (available at: http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/):

For getting the FPS you could do as in some of the Irrlicht tutorials (driver->getFPS()), and display that in a GUI element or the title bar of your program. You can view the CPU, memory etc. usage of your application in the Windows Taskmanager. To open it just press Ctrl+Alt+Del (given that you're ...

I made a very simple BSP entity parser a while ago, maybe that can help you: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=3389

You select what API to use in the createDevice() call ( http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/namespaceirr.html#a177 ). DirectX 8 and DirectX 9 doesn't work by default in Dev-C++ though, so you'll have to recompile the engine (have a look at http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1700 ...

From the frontpage: "The Irrlicht Engine is an open source high performance realtime 3D engine written and usable in C++ and also available for .NET languages. It is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL and its own software renderer [...]"

It's all up to you which one to use...

You could also check the source for the ITextSceneNode, which does almost the same thing (displays text on a 3D location).

Like Tyn said, you could hack it like done in this tutorial.

My game loop funciton calls NPC::update everyframe before drawing to check if anything has changed in the NPC's state.


void NPC::update() {

if (canWalk) {
node->setMD2Animation(irr::scene::EMAT_RUN);
weaponNode->setMD2Animation(irr::scene::EMAT_RUN);
core::matrix4 matrix = node ...

I would guess that means you are not using the right BSP format. Are you sure you are using Quake 3 BSPs?

Hmm, maybe lights doesn't use bounding boxes at all, or it's too small to be visible...

I think it is

Heh, I thought I'd give it a shot:

The code:
class CVegetation
{
public:
CVegetation(IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* terrainNode, IAnimatedMesh* terrainMesh, IImage* vegetationMap);
~CVegetation() {}
