Irrlicht Engine

I see. Thank you for the insight. I'll take a closer look at how irrAllocator works, and hopefully I can find something on my own.

So I never got around to posting any screenshots since I didn't have much to show at the time, but I've long since had some stuff to show and completely forgot to post anything about it, so here goes: http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3964/pacnyxplus1.th.jpg http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5210/...

I'm not 100% sure this is an issue with Irrlicht, but I'm relatively certain since the problem doesn't seem to crop up with STL templates, nor does it appear to happen with other Irrlicht objects. I've tested this with irr::core::list, irr::core::map, irr::core::array, and irr::core::stringc and get...

I have another bug that is quite similar to this one, yet not quite the same- but it involves changes to almost the exact same piece of code. The issue is with when you have an orthogonal camera, and you're positioning (semi-)transparent objects to be visible. The distance sorting is done via the di...

So I've been working on a graphics editor of sorts, and until recently, hadn't defined which driver type to use (so it defaulted to EDT_BURNINGSVIDEO). I've since decided that it's time to get an accelerated driver to be used instead, so I simply set SIrrlichtCreationParameters::DriverType to EDT_DI...

So for anybody interested, what I ended up doing was switching the camera to orthogonal mode, then it was simple: Set the ISceneNode up with a custom Mesh (a flat mesh 1 unit x 1 unit in size). Scale the custom mesh to the dimensions of the texture. Set the camera's orthogonal viewable dimensions to...

Any ideas on how I might go about zooming an object (the scale of said object can be changed if need be) on screen in such a way that the texture on the object is displayed at a 1:1 texel:pixel size ratio? I'm aware that you could use IVideoDriver::draw2DImage to achieve that, but I'm working on an ...

@radical-dev The IrrXMLReader was designed specifically to be used without an IrrlichtDevice, and thus, doesn't inherit from IReferenceCounted, which is what gives the objects their grab() and drop() methods. So the only way to clean it up is to delete it. It's shown in the API, actually. Please not...

It would appear there's a memory leak in IrrXMLReader. I write this simple program: (The XML file exists, and is valid, as I've used it fine in other programs, but that doesn't really matter, since the same problem occurs if the file doesn't exist...) int main() { IrrXMLReader *xml = createIrrXMLRea...

Yah, I just got that all working perfectly for me as well. Thanks for pointing that out for me rogerborg- it's such a strange way to go about it, I fear I'd have never thought of it myself!

Yah, I tried looking at the source for it- and it wasn't making a boatload of sense. I got the basic understanding of it, and actually, I came to the conclusion that it was either the CCameraSceneNode::recalculateViewArea() or CCameraSceneNode::recalculateProjectionMatrix(), both of which are protec...

So I've set up (successfully) an ortho camera using the following code: ISceneManager *sceneMgr = mDevice->getSceneManager(); ICameraSceneNode *cam = sceneMgr->addCameraSceneNode(NULL, irr::core::vector3df(0, 0, -100), irr::core::vector3df(0, 0, 0), 1); irr::core::matrix4 orthoMatrix; orthoMatrix.bu...

Well if you're talking about all the function calls such as fopen() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yeby3zcb(VS.80).aspx _getcwd() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/sf98bd4y(VS.80).aspx _chdir() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/bf7fwze1(VS.80).aspx then yes, there are widecharac...

How hard would it be to convert the CFileSystem class to use wchar_t for directory structures and whatnot? Is it just a matter of changing all the const c8 * to const wchar_t *, stringc to stringw, and all the OS specific functions to call wide character equivalents, or is there something more that ...

I'm developing 2 projects side-by-side, since they're co-related: The first of which is a library to handle modifying of all data files for RBO, and the 2nd is a potential GUI front-end to give the user an easy time doing it. When it's complete, I intend to release the library for use by others, and...
