Irrlicht Engine

Just a last small update before christmas (https://www.dustbin-online.de): modified the menu UI so that elements get focused when hovered, fixed the sound preload function and modified the splash screen. Hope you like it

I have uploaded a new version to https://www.dustbin-online.de/ : now all communication with the server for ghosts (search / download / upload) is done with HTTPS. As I'm using my own HTTP implementation it wasn't difficult once I got OpenSSL running ;). I also fixed a crash in the "Replay Race...

I have just uploaded a bugfix version of "Stunt Marble Racers 2" to https://www.dustbin-online.de/ . During my shader-rework I introduced an error to the splitscreen mode (2 and 3 players) which is now fixed (see images). I hope you can now enjoy the splitscreen mode. http://dustbin-online...

Adding some achievements is certainly not a bad idea, I'll have to think about it. Long-term goal is to make it a Facebook game so some collection of achievements needs to be implemented anyways

Last week I have added a soundtrack to "Stunt Marble Racers 2" and made a video. I hope you like the soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdES4IZkgyw&feature=youtu.be Download from https://www.dustbin-online.de/ Music provided by Toshi Clinch https://www.toshiclinchmusic.com/

Thanks. Next update will be a soundtrack, I hope I get it finished this week. Got an offer from a professional musician on Facebook who wants to put some games on his portfolio, and there is just a little track missing that will be played after a race has finished. Looking forward to that

Just uploaded a first tutorial video to youtube:

Hello community, just uploaded a new version of "Stunt Marble Racers 2" to https://www.dustbin-online.de/ . This time it's a minimal update with some graphics fixes in the menu, and I integrated a new marble ready for individualization (do you like it?) http://dustbin-online.de/pix/marbles...

Thanks for the hint, I'll take a look into the article when I have time to do so (still a lot of other project-related tasks open , and some real-world life also needs to be attended )

I have just uplaoded a new version of "Stunt Marble Racers 2" to https://www.dustbin-online.de/ : added a low-quality shadow shader suitable for low-power GPU. Tried it on my old notebook (from 2012) with Intel GPU and I got a decent framerate. I hope you like it. Just have to fix the posi...

IrrEdit still works fine for Irrlicht. Instead of writing my own editor at the beginning of development (at the time when I don't know how fast I'll lose my motivation ;) ). I use IrrEdit a lot and it does the job for me. I always write plugins for my own scene nodes (e.g. with physics information) ...

A new version of "Stunt Marble Racers 2" is available for download from https://www.dustbin-online.de/ . - Fixed a crash in the client during network games - Reduced the brake power - Modified some tracks (Stepstones, Steep Circle): In stepstones you could save time by respawning, steep ci...

Thanks a lot, now it works

Hi, I'm trying to implement a shadow mapping shader (based on XEffects) but I don't get it running (XEffects works fine of course, but I also want something less hardware hungry ;) ). I want to only run 2 render passes (one for shadow map rendering, one for rendering the scene with shadows). I think...

Back in the days I was using IrrNet (iirc) for the first "Stunt Marble Racers" game. Also worked fine. For the current game I want to keep the option to code a HTML client as well. "The Sky of Verdun" was initially a HTML5 game (after I was sent to a HTML5 seminar by the company ...
