Irrlicht Engine

The creation of the of the skybox node itself doesn't really cost much time. So it shouldn't be a problem anyway to change it in realtime. Textures are kept in memory until they are explicitly removed, so once you loaded them at start you could propably just exchange the skybox nodes. But otherwise ...

You're gonna stop the government and make us rich? High targets ;-) The glove sounds basicly like another input system. So if you have input drivers for linux/windows it won't be hard for other people to use it. Irrlicht itself does not add much in the way of support for input devices. Basicly it ju...

I just used the compressed textures and they seem to work :).
Unfortunatly i really need a DirectX Version so some more work ahead of me. Haven't done anything in DX for about 7 years and c::b won't let me debug in windows, i really hope i still get this running...

Still not sure if my solution is that good, but i implemented it now and at least it works: I added the following member to IAnimatedMesh.h //! return -1 if the first frame is unknown or otherwise the first frame virtual s32 getFirstFrame() = 0; For all classes that derive from IAnimatedMesh, except...

If you mean scale, once more the irr::scene::IMeshManipulator can help:
scaleMesh (IMesh *mesh, const core::vector3df &scale)

Yo - Irrlicht has ;)
irr::scene::IMeshManipulator has a member flipSurfaces (IMesh *mesh)

If the first animation key in a .X file is not at frame 0, but for example at 1, i've got some problems as there's currently no way to find out which is the first valid frame The result is that the animation is displayed only sometimes (not just 1 frame missing, but it takes a while until it is disp...

-1.#IND000 is an invalid float value. Maybe caused by a division by zero or some similar invalid calculation. Further calculations with that value will usually only result in further -1.#IND000's.

Hm, looks like i wrote this long article here and forgot to press "submit" :(. Ok, once more: In readMTL we should not expect 'N' to be 'Ns', as some .obj files also contain 'Ni'. So i'd change it like that: case 'N': if ( 0 != pCurrMaterial ) { switch(pBufPtr[1]) { case 's': // Ns - shini...

Don't know if it helps, but in my own project i just did go through the triangles. Still i'm using a lot of the irrlicht functionality. Basicly i'm adding all nodes which are of interset for collisions to my own class handling collisions. Then i don't use the triangles from the mesh-data, but the da...

There is some way to enable .obj exports in maya 6. This works mostly ok for static meshes. I recommend installing the patch mentioned in this thread http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11083&highlight= for it, as you won't have textures otherwise. The x-exporters in the Direc...

Oh, my fault, sorry, you're certainly right. i just failed to see the multiple inheritance thing. Thanks for help!

I did now something similar to the second solution which you proposed.
Still i think the Caller which is of type IGUIElement should not point to the GuiEnvironment which is of a completly different class.

Hm, maybe there's a reason why EGET_ELEMENT_FOCUS_LOST does not get transported up to the user level. Otherwise i would also recommend not just returning already within the irrlicht classes but transporting this event to the user level. In case you're wondering why i concentrate that much on this fo...

I think the IGUIElements should also give up the focus when they are deleted.
