Irrlicht Engine

OK. To get back to your original question once more. You can get the IMaterialRenderer* from the video-driver via driver->getMaterialRenderer for a given material (SMaterial::MaterialType). It doesn't pass through the opengl stuff, but as you seem to be allowed to modify sources: in your case IMater...

You don't need normals? I tend to need those (edit: thought I learned recenly how specific optimized voxel engines can work when watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40JzyaOYJeY I guess Irrlicht starts getting more in the way than helping once you go that far). May I ask what the Con...

Not 100% sure I get what you try to do there, but I think you go a bit against the flow there with Irrlicht. Irrlicht really only has 3 vertex types it supports well, S3DVertex, S3DVertex2TCoords and S3DVertexTangents. Just one of those early design decisions which make some things easier and other ...

Note this is about shaders, not directly Irrlicht. I'm not sure when you get that error (seeing the shader code might help). But from what I can see on google it might not be supported by ES1 and ES2 - which are the only drivers Irrlicht supports so far in case you work with GL ES. If it's not about...

Maybe check example 23.MeshHandling. The part where it fills the meshbuffer is in the addstrip function. But in short: Meshbuffers have Vertices, Indices and a Material and you need to set those all. Vertices are usually in the S3DVertex format and set the 3 corners of your triangle. Or 4 corners of...

Spell checking maybe in your browser? I don't think we have that in the foorrummm (see?).
Good luck with Sum Up Griddy! ;-)

Yes it moves the position, so no need for seek.

Great. One day we'll add 3rd party integration examples I hope :)

The my_mat() case... don't use the brackets. Just my_mat; Otherwise it looks like a function call for this to c++. And yeah it's a bit confusing as it works with parameters but not with an empty constructor. Just a c++ thing, stackoverflow has more info about that: https://stackoverflow.com/question...

Thanks, but seriously, no need. I totally selfishly work on Irrlicht because I actually use the engine myself.

Ah thanks for the video. I didn't realize when browsing quickly over the code earlier what m_windowIsActive really was (I thought it was some wxWidget variable if the window is active...). Too late here right now to really test things, but on another quick view at sources I notice you also render in...

Thanks. Code looks actually pretty similar to code in my current project (except we use WTL instead of wxWidgets in our project). Using timers should on Windows allow ~65 FPS. No idea really about wxWidgets on Linux and timers, thought I would have expected it to be rather a better resolution (usual...

Link gives me a 404, maybe not public?

Easiest is to use the functions in coreutil.h like irr::core::hasFileExtension or irr::core::isFileExtension
You can also take a look how it's implemented.

@Noiecity: Yeah - it's about Windows timer in general which are used for example in Windows sleep(). Irrlicht uses those for it's device->sleep(). Which I don't recommend using anymore therefore. Up to (including) Irrlicht 1.8 we also used sleep(1) for device->yield(), so that was just as bad. But t...
