New Tiled Terrain Scene Node [works with Irr 1.5]

[grunt]

I would like to see this as part of the wrapper as well.

Hey!

I figured I'd give it a second try. Seems that your source is down though (404).

The part that was down was the link on your homepage.
The one in the first post is up.

I have added ShTlTerrainSceneNode.o to the makefile's EXTRAOBJ= section, and it recognized and compiled it. Hope it works this time

Thanks!

Alright, everything compiles (get 14 errors, but it's better than no compilation).

Thanks!

ps: This is for linux, in case anybody else is trying the same.

Just thought it might be related to the Tiled Terrain Scene Node, since this doesn't show up in the regular terrain demo.

It seems that I get really weird grainy-ness on the textures of the terrain far away.



Any idea what this might be from?

FlyFF, I have seen this happen somewhere before. Try to set the detail texture after the colour or make sure you are calculating the normals. Also do not render in between calculating normals and other things.

Oh wait are you just running the demo?

FlyingIsFun1217 >> It is realy werid. I was just recompiling demo on my computer to be sure, but here everything is working fine. If I recall right hibrid was able to compile it under linux.

Did you tried to compile under Windows?
What version of Irrlicht? ...Demo was compiled under 1.3 and I was not using 1.31 yet.
What happen if you change texture for your own?

I did compile it under linux, that was actually what it did on the provided example, compiled on linux.

Compile under Windows? No, that I have not tried. If it matters, your precompiled example works just fine in Windows

Yep, I am using 1.31.

I'll see what changing the texture manually does

Thanks so much!

Well I have managed to get the same effect several ways. One of them was rendering inbetween calculating the normals and setting the texture. Either way it appears that the filtering might be getting set to point filtered or something, so try changing this manually somewhere, or try forcing the material type to DETAIL_MAP after you have set everything.

Isn't that done in the demo?
If it isn't, I'll try adding that and see if it changes anything

Thanks!

There was some strange issue Eigen was having with textures, you can find whole discusion on page 2 of this topic. Folowing code seemed to solve things for him:

Code: Select all

video::ITexture *txt = driver->getTexture("Media/dirt_x_43.bmp");
terrain->getMaterial(0).Textures[0] = txt;

instead of

Code: Select all

terrain->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("media/dirt_x_43.bmp"));

at line 223 in main.cpp

please try that.

You can also write the first variant in one line. However, the first option will set only the first material's texture, while the second will set all materials' first texture.

Isn't it a pointer to a texture retriever, followed by...
What is it followed by?

Just trying to kinda learn the code

You need pointer only if you going to work with it. Irrlicht keep track of texture internaly, probably by video driver.

This is code hybrid probably had in mind:

Code: Select all

terrain->getMaterial(0).Textures[0] = driver->getTexture("Media/dirt_x_43.bmp");

I'll try this and see what I get
