VeeDub Customizer

[m3ltd0wn]

Hello irrlicht community, i am new here on forums but i've heard of irrlicht from some time, downloaded the sdk and started programming on little things... it is user friendly and has some awesome features.

So for a week now i'm working on a bigger project: VeeDub Customizer, its a program that lets you customize vw car models
it's not much at this time but has a promising start

features :

for now you can adjust the suspension of the car, and you can wide the distance between the wheels, change the color of the car (using orriginal vw color codes) ...

Post your question in the beginner's forum as it won't be seen by as many people here so is less likely to get an answer.

Also, when you post there, give some more information, what's your event receiver code? Do you have any? Is the button doing anything you'd expect at all?

[m3ltd0wn]

Code: Select all

class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver
{
public:
	virtual bool OnEvent(const SEvent& event)
	{
		if (event.EventType == EET_GUI_EVENT)
		{
			s32 id = event.GUIEvent.Caller->getID();
			IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device->getGUIEnvironment();
			bool isPressed = false;

			switch(event.GUIEvent.EventType)
			{	
				
				case EGET_BUTTON_CLICKED:
				switch (id)
				{
					case 100:
						createToolBox();
					break;
					
					case 101:
						{	
							paletaCulori();	//the function that calls the colors tool bar						
						}
					break;

					case 102:
						showAboutText();
					break;

					case 103:
						//device->closeDevice();
					break;

here is a part of my event receiver...
well, if i push the button it shows the colors tool bar ... i did some research on this but i can't get it closed when i push it again...so i erased the crappy code

added a window and some images with the cars that will be supported for modding , now you can select between mk3 golf and mk2 jetta

i still have some problems with the checkboxes that select the car hope to solve them ...

[m3ltd0wn]

added possibility to change the headlights and tail lights, reflection layer so the car looks more real, still trying to figure out how to change resolutions in real time

why don't you use ALT+PrintScreen combination to make screenshots? Or FRAPS or something same?:)

ALT+PrintScreen makes screenshot only for the active application window not for all desktop, if you don't know it:)

[hybrid]

Maybe because it does not matter a bit?! And for making good screenshots I'd suggest Gimp, which also allows for immediate postprocessing.
BTW: Nice screenshots.

[sp00n]

yeah, nice screenshots:)
but in my Opera it doesn't be placed on whole screen(1440x900) it makes an horizantal scroll and even only-text posts formatted with this width:(

but in any way: Good luck!:) realy nice screenies:)

10x for feedback, i've changed the language of the menus, they were in romanian (my native language), now they are in english.
i'll make an option for changing languages
also i still didn't figure out how to make the floor reflect the car.

[randomMesh]

also i still didn't figure out how to make the floor reflect the car.

Have a look in tutorial 13.RenderToTexture.

still working on this project, lots have changed, i've managed to make it more like a framework for virtula car tuning, still needs lots of work.

for the moment user can change: suspension height via scroll bar, negative camber on rear wheels, wheel spacers up to 5cm, bodykit from :rieger, kamei, spoilers, side skirts, bumpers, whipers (dtm style, shaved style), the front grille (2 lights and 4 lights, also badgeless), color will be avaible soon, user can change the car model from mk1 golf gti to mk1 golf cabriolet, more models will come (mk2 golf, mk2 golf rallye and country, mk3 golf, mk4 golf, mk5 golf, mk6 golf, beetle, bus, scirocco)

i need some help with some shaders on the pain of the car so the paint can look more realistic, i never worked with shaders so i don't know how to implement them, a good help will be appreciated...

more features will be avaible for example: changing the style of tuning : cult style, rat style, german style, old school and so on....
it is a big project and one single person who writes code and makes 3d models and that is me so the progress is a little slow, hope you guys like it, thanks for irrlicht community for this great 3d engine which never stops to amaze me...
