IrrKlang and IrrEdit (.irr)

[NemoStein]

Hi...
I'm having trouble seting up my IrrLicht to work with .irr SceneNode and IrrKlang...

In my main.cpp, when I put the this code, it works:

Code: Select all

ISoundEngine* soundEngine = createIrrKlangDevice();
soundEngine->play2D("mysong.mp3");

I mean, I can hear the sound...

But, when I load a .irr scene with a irrKlangSceneNode to play my sound, the console prints this:

Code: Select all

Could not create scene node of unknown type: irrKlangSceneNode

And I hear no sound at all...

I'm I doing something wrong?

create the IrrKlang device before calling loadScene. Otherwise loadScene won't know what an IrrKlangSceneNode is.

[NemoStein]

My device is created before...

This is the top of my main:

Code: Select all

int main(){

	intro = createDevice(EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(800, 600), 32, false, true, true);
	driver = intro->getVideoDriver();
	smgr = intro->getSceneManager();
	
	ISoundEngine* soundEngine = createIrrKlangDevice();

 	stringw str = "IrrKlang and IrrEdit test";
	intro->setWindowCaption(str.c_str());

	smgr->loadScene("../Sources/test.irr");

I don't actually know anything about IrrKlang myself, are there any other functions you should call before playing a sound?

[NemoStein]

There is the problem... I don't know... =|


Exemple:

Code: Select all

ISoundEngine* soundEngine = createIrrKlangDevice();
soundEngine->play2D("../Sources/mysong.mp3");
smgr->loadScene("../Sources/test.irr");

This way, the 1st sound (the one set direct into code) will play, but the 2nd (set inside .irr) won't...

And I don't know anything about IrrEdit, but...

What versions of IrrEdit are you using (i.e. what version saved out the .irr file), and what version of IrrKlang?

Oh, hang on, I've just noticed: the Ambierra forums are back up. Since Niko wrote IrrKlang and IrrEdit, you may have more luck asking over there.

[NemoStein]

The versions:
IrrLicht 1.4.1
IrrEdit 1.4.1
IrrKlang 1.1.0

And thanks, Roger, I'll try there too...

You need a scene node factory which supports irrKlang nodes. Otherwise the engine cannot deserialize that node. It's probably part of Irrklang, since irrEdit supports it already...

[NemoStein]

Factory?
Ahn... And how I'm supposed to do that? o.O*

Is there a class or function that can solve the problem?

[JP]

Yeah that's what i was talking about, the need for a factory, but really i would think that IrrKlang would take care of creating one in its setup function... but maybe not...

I guess your code play2D doesn't care about an IrrKlangSceneNode so that will work fine... maybe search the IrrKlang docs for something about an ISceneNodeFactory implementation.

I'm pretty sure it is covered in the irrKlang docs, but a quick search here turned up this thread.
