Irrlicht Engine

Not sure about rewriting - that would seem a bit pointless (why not make a new library entirely in that case).

The more useful solution (IMHO) would be to write a C-based library wrapper for Irrlicht. This could be easily used by D (D can easily interface with C, but not C++).

This library would ...

Hi, I'm using Irrlicht on a mac. I've been using wings3d to create some simple models, in obj format. What are the preferred modellers & formats for Irrlicht? I understand obj doesn't support alpha models, so that would be a problem. Also, I don't like Blender:-)

Thanks for your opinions.

To clarify, in fullscreen, moving left & right work as expected, but up & down do nothing. So I can rotate along the z-axis of the camera with the mouse/trackpad, but that's it.

Was using a trackpad on a Powerbook G4. Haven't tried a mouse. Have tried Irrlicht 1.0 & current svn. No problem on windowed - just fullscreen.

Hi, when running the Quake3Map demo on the mac, the cursor doesn't work for rotating the camera when in fullscreen. It works in windowed mode. Any idea why this is? Is it a bug in the mac version of Irrlicht or have I not set things up correctly?

Thanks!

The solution I've come up with is to extend the SEvent class with some accessors for the items in the union:


%feature("director") IEventReceiver;
%include "IEventreceiver.h"
%extend irr::SEvent {
gui::IGUIElement* guiCaller() { return self->GUIEvent.Caller; }
gui::EGUI_EVENT_TYPE guiEventType ...

On a swig note, I've got something for Ruby, but there are a few holes left. One of them is SEvent in IEventReceiver.h. There is an anonymous nested union. Swig claims such a construct is not supported:

Warning(312): Nested union not currently supported (ignored).

How has anyone else gotten ...

Code: Select all

Nope, that wasn't it, it was already within that namespace. What actually was the problem was that I had an empty, local, irrlicht.h. So it actually wasn't pulling in the real irrlicht.h. Doh!

That's within "namespace irr {}" of course.

I recently started work on a SWIG python binding for Irrlicht, for my own uses. If anyone's interested, let me know.. there's not too much there so far, but it at least runs the basic model-loading example.

This is a direct wrapping of the Irrlicht API for Python, not a framework or other engine ...
