Irrlicht Engine

Thanks for this.
its been helpful.

I'm looking for some sort of dedicated server type thing to run the game I'm working on. This thing is that hiring a dedicated server seems like massive overkill. The game is fairly small and due to its turn-based nature will only need to send like 2K of data every 5 minutes or so. I know socket pro...

I'm making a main menu for my game. I have a bunch of screen, each a separate object. I create them all during a loading screen at the start and then when I want a particular screen to appear I call a function on it that enables all its gui elements and they are then drawn. Screens not current displ...

Oh just in case its unclear, this is an irrlicht question not an OpenGL question. I know how to set the blend modes in OpenGL but they don't seem to work with irrlicht. I think irrlicht sets these things and doesn't let you change them. What I had before I added irrlicht to the project was: glShadeM...

Ok so I'm trying to do something a little odd. I'm trying to use OpenGL draw functions with irrlicht. The problem is that irrlicht seems to set its blend types based on what you draw and if you don't draw anything then they are wrong. So in my case I am not drawing anything with irrlicht, I only dra...

unfortunately it turns out its way more complex than this: the drawAll() code also has this resize code (I'm not sure exactly what its for but I assume its needed) if (Driver) { core::dimension2d<s32> dim(Driver->getScreenSize()); if (AbsoluteRect.LowerRightCorner.X != dim.Width || AbsoluteRect.Lowe...

So I've just run into a problem where it seems that the IGUIEnvironment::drawAll() function must be called to render Gui elements. I was trying to render them individually myself by calling the draw() function for each element. The reason I need to do this is because I need to render non-gui stuff i...

In IEventReceiver under the EGUI_EVENT_TYPE definition it says: //! An element would like to close. /** Windows and context menus use this event when they would like to close, this can be cancelled by absorbing the event. */ EGET_ELEMENT_CLOSED, but when an IGUIContextMenu is closed, the EGET_ELEMEN...

Has the memory leak in CImage been fixed in the trunk yet? (fixed in branch version 3517) because that's the reason I'm working out of a branch. It causes over 100mb of leaked memory in my project so I need that fix.

The fixed code is included in this patch: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=240534#240534 Also I discovered a bug that made the text juggle up and down as you typed, its fixed in the patch. To fix it in the above code, it should be: if (!WordWrap) { //horizontal scrolling code i...

I have updated the patch to fix a bug. (The text in a non-multiline box was jiggling up and down when you typed in it)

FYI I have just implemented most of the stuff on your current todo list

The patchfile is here:

So I have added scroll bars and a bunch of stuff to IGUIEditBox's. I have made a patch file but I am working out of the 1.7 SVN branch, not sure if its compatible with the trunk or other versions, it probably is as I don't think these files changed that much. Patchfile can be downloaded here: Downlo...

This seems like a very odd development model. I would have thought Trunk would be the latest stable build and all changes would be made to branch and then once in a while rolled across to Trunk. That way Trunk would be stable, branch would be latest and you would never want half of one and half of t...

When a multiline edit box has enough text in it to go off the bottom of the edit box and then you use the arrow keys to scroll down, the scrolling behaves strangely. When moving the cursor down line by line, the text doesn't scroll until you move the cursor down below the last visible line, at which...
