Irrlicht Engine

Well you guys have my permission to include them if you think it will help.

Hi everybody,

I have been involved in a project for a while now that was making use of the Irrlicht engine for a MMORPG, recently it was decided to make an architecture change (due to various factors but mainly due to the lack of C++ skills) and XNA was chosen as our new platform.

I had written ...

I have a created a website for this project: http://paintballea.geekworx.co.za/

Can you share the fix in the Code Snippets forum with us.

I am probably going to run into the same thing when I build my map editor for my game.

Oh sorry guys ... missed the part about it being in a window.

Sorry, can't help you there.

I have just finised implementing the basic game framework that supports Game States. :)

I have also created 8 different skyboxes (2x Morning, 2x Day, 2x Evening, and 2x Night), these will be randomly called when you play a map or do a training drill or whatever, adds a little dynamism to the ...

Anything is possible under linux ... the only problem is that you have a choice of like 1 000 different Widget creators.

Your best bet would be to use either GTK or Java ... that way you won't have to worry about specific KD or GNOME bindings.

What you would do instead of opening a Window's class ...

Anyways, first thing I am gonna purchase is Microsoft visual 6.0, since I cant imagine debuging in some other developing program... and I want to compile directX so badly

Ummm ... don't you mean 8.0 ... part of the Visual Studio 2005 suite of products.

So change the code ...

... the line that says something like this:
Irrlicht* device = createDevice(EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(1280, 1024), 32, true, false, false,\0);

...change the dimension<s32>(1280, 1024) to you required dimensions (i.e. 200, 200) etc.

Simple hey?

Kewl ... thanks Nick.

I will try that right away, but in the meantime here is what I mean.

Dude ... sounds like you had a bad day that day ... I hope everything is sorted now.

As for you loosing code (or maybe you didn't) ... I have a personal SVN server running on my one Linux PC (that gets backed-up to CD-Rom every weekend) that I check all my Dev work in.

I have been burnt by the ...

All images are of the same size.

I have noticed the same problem with the skyboxes that I created using Terragen.

In OpenGL it looks beautiful ... in DirectX it looks crap.

I will upload some pictures later and show you what I mean.

Morning,

I have noticed something weird in the game I am busy developing.

When I use Direct3D9 or Direct3D8 my background images on my menu don't look very high quality.

But if I use OpenGL ...

I found that the best way was to get myself a good C++ book ... reference guide with examples ... and then go through all tutorials (or at least the first 12) for Irrlicht.

Then as you start writing your own game, refere to the Irrlicht Tutorials, your C++ Reference Guide, these forums and Google ...

Greetings,

I have had this project on the back burner for about a year now and initially tried to get it working with Ogre3D.

Having recently discovered Irrlicht, I have managed to do more on this project in the last week then I did in the previous weeks.

Basically it will be a FPS based on my ...
