Irrlicht Engine

you can get a list if the supported video modes by calling.

video::IVideoModeList* getVideoModeList() on the device.

If you are using IVideoDriver::draw2DImage, it has a version that takes a destRect. You can make that destination rect be any size, and it will be scaled to fit.


virtual void draw2DImage(video::ITexture* texture, const core::rect<s32>& destRect,
const core::rect<s32>& sourceRect, const core ...

I've made a patch that uses the image paths in the XML relative to the XML file itself.

a matrix is a mathematical structure that is used to apply various transformations to number sets, and is heavily used in 3d graphics.

we kept the image verification thing too, but just added a field that asked them to answer the question "what is the name of the game". you could do 'what is the name of the engine"

I can get you the mods we did if you'd like. they were very simple.

we had similar spam problems on our phpbb, we added a simple field to the registration page that simply asks them to enter the name of our game, It has cut down our spam from 5-10 a day, to 1 or 2 a month.

Is there an example on using the new XML fonts in 1.3?

the new font tool says
"To load your font in Irrlicht, simply use env->addFont(\"Myfont.xml\")"
in it's help text, but as far as I can see, there is no method in the IGUIEnvironment with that name.

calling getFont, with the XML just returns ...

the simplest way ( if your talking about windows ), is to use a winmain instead of a main.

if you want to have code that runs on multiple OSs then just #def it.

#ifdef _WIN32
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR pCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
#else
int main()
#endif ...

I'd like to ask this question about dynamically generating meshes, just to make sure I'm on the right track, before I get in too deep. I've searched the fourms and hit the tutorials, but I don't think any of them get into this.

I have the need of generating animated meshes from our own internal ...
