What should go in Irrlicht 2.0?

There are libs without the final d (and also without x) but they are not working. At least I never could build a library with those.

I have always liked "Glow" or "Emissive Maps".

An emissive surface texture indicates which part of the texture is emitting light, or glowing, independent of any light sources on the object.

it needs Built in Reflection, Portal, Refraction and Rain scene nodes...

I reckon more Rendering Device Support...
and probally a simple event handling method like int GetKey();
And also a bit more GUI options and Primatives...

Reflection and Rain are available since Irrlicht 0.4 (or so). What do you mean with rendering device support? The GUI will be updated in the next release (check the SVN for latest improvements).

Just to help clarify, Rain can be made with a particle system, which Irrlicht supports well. And as far as devices, doesn't irrlicht already support both OGL, DX, 2 software drivers, and a null driver just to make sure stuff is working. Isn't 4 renderable drivers enough???

Is there any other drivers besides the 4 that kburkhart84 mentioned?

someone once made a SDL device and driver which could be quite handy for developing on the GP2x, but this was a long time ago and it's probably out of date by now.

Do you have a link to that driver? Sounds really interesting, but I assume it was for Irrlicht 0.7 or earlier.

ooh it's right here on the site, made by SirShane (the estranged owner of the irrlicht chat room)

it would be very cool to get this working with the latest version, anyone know sdl?

Wow, I wouldn't want to use an SDL driver, seems like downgrading for me. But for others, who knows. Sounds sweet to me.

I hope to see improvements on irrlicht's lightning/shadow system.

I would love to have .md5 mesh support!

Fog that doesn't just lay down on a terrain like a 2d piece of poop.
Our old OnPreRender and OnPostRender functions back.
