using .irr and .pk3

[invas10n]

I saw a tutorial on using collision detection on a .irr file. This is the code that interests me:

Code: Select all

// Setup the ZIP file "MyLevel.pk3" to be read directly        
intro->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("levels/MyLevel.pk3"); 

// Load the scene file from the archive 
smgr->loadScene("MyLevel.irr"); 

intro is the IrrlichtDevice.

This is my code:

Code: Select all

    device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("media/models/maps/map.pk3");
smgr->loadScene("map.irr");

My question is, I made a .pk3 file containing the .irr file and all meshes and textures in that irr file, but when I use that code and run the game, it doesnt load anything. The error i get is:

Unable to open scene file: map.irr

What am I doing wrong?[/code]

A PK3 is simply a ZIP file that the extension is renamed .PK3

You have to make sure that MyLevel.pk3 (zip renamed file) contain the MyLevel.irr file

[radiant]

change this:

Code: Select all

smgr->loadScene("MyLevel.irr");

to this:

Code: Select all

smgr->loadScene("map.irr");

what's the structure of your PK3?

It should be something like this:

Code: Select all

map.pk3
  - directory?
  - directory?
  - map.irr
  - other_file.ext?

obviously the directories and other_file is dependent on what you've got but you certainly need map.irr to be in the root of the pk3.

I did have map.irr in the root directory. But I fixed the problem. But maybe you can figure out why?

These didnt work:
.pk3
.dat
.rar

I'm using .zip at the moment and all runs fine. I cant explain it... Can you?
