Irrlicht Engine

Can noone help out?

I was also wondering about this.

Little to advanced for me, not that familiar with Irrlicht's camera manipulation yet.

Thanks for all the help. I was just doing it because I know my main.cpp file is going to end up being a mile long, and Im trying to avoid that. Im used to programming in C for MUDs, and the file seperation for all the various tasks. But thank you so much for taking the time to help.

I remember in Jedi Knight (built from the Quake 2 engine) that you could change your camera angle to 3rd person by pressing F1. In 3rd person view, your camera looked wherever the character looks. You can see your characters model and the weapon he is using is attached approporiately. However! In 1s...

Think you can give me a hand setting that up? Im thinking I include the header file from main.cpp but I am not sure what to declare inside the header file and what to remove from the other files.

Well actually I cant get anything to compile on Dev C++... to I guess nevermind that one.

The tutorial on the Irrlicht website for DevC++ is extremely out of date, alot of the files are different.

To tell you the truth VC++ 6 is the biggest pile of a compiler and I've had nothing but linking errors when compiling other code i've found on this forum. My google research revealed a bunch of linker flaws in the way VC++ and VS do linking. Either way, theres alot of complaints against VC++, so I t...

Hmm, i use Visual C++ 6.0 and the VisualStudio library. I just tried it with the Win32 GCC library with no success. Even after renaming it to myDriver... Perhaps I need to switch compilers.

main.cpp #include <irrlicht.h> #include <iostream> #include "driver.cpp" using namespace irr; #pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib") video::E_DRIVER_TYPE askDriver(); int main() { video::E_DRIVER_TYPE driverType = askDriver(); // create device and exit if creation failed IrrlichtDe...

Ah good catch... unfortunatelly... even after named it several times and finally to "askDriver45" I still get this error: main.obj : error LNK2005: "enum irr::video::E_DRIVER_TYPE __cdecl askDriver45(void)" (?askDriver45@@YA?AW4E_DRIVER_TYPE@video@irr@@XZ) already defined in driv...

main.obj : error LNK2005: "enum irr::video::E_DRIVER_TYPE __cdecl getDriver(void)" (?getDriver@@YA?AW4E_DRIVER_TYPE@video@irr@@XZ) already defined in driver.obj
Engine.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
Error executing link.exe.

Well I think I've hit the final problem. D:\irrlicht-1.0\examples\myengine\main.cpp(15) : error C2065: 'driverType' : undeclared identifier #include <irrlicht.h> #include <iostream> #include "driver.cpp" using namespace irr; #pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib") video::E_DRIVER_TY...

Thanks for the help, progress is good :) Still having a problem though: D:\irrlicht-1.0\examples\myengine\driver.cpp(27) : error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'const int' to 'enum irr::video::E_DRIVER_TYPE' Conversion to enumeration type requires an explicit cast (static_cast, C-style cast o...

Can someone help me out? Im trying to improve my knowledge of C++ and organize my code a little. To start I'd like to put the driver choice as seen in the examples in a seperate function, in a seperate file. This the way ive done it, without success: #include <irrlicht.h> #include <iostream> #includ...
