To be more specific, it's radians that are used (1 degree = PI/180; 360 degrees = 2*PI). To set fov to e.g. 90 degrees you can do it like this:

Code: Select all

setFOV(90 * (f32)core::GRAD_PI2);

No problem bal

jox: Radians, fractions, whatever

It's all maths

wow great job warui ...just tried this fix just than and makes a very nice diff

FOV in Irrlicht uses radians (3.1415 = 180 degrees) so all you have to do to set a 90 degree FOV is camera->setFOV(3.1415f/2.0f);

this is how i set my fov:

cam->setFOV(3.1415f/2.0);

its a radian expression and it works perfect!

Code: Select all

//! Constant for PI.
const f32 PI				= 3.14159f;

You could put PI/2 if you wanted. I think 1.57 is probably right?

Oh I mean for you. The default it PI/3.5 apparently. Whichever suits you.

Yes, this would be very helpful to me as well.

Which functions cause the mouse to grab? And how can I stop the 360 degree rotation of the model, there seems to be a fixed point that it rotates around. I have just started with this engine so I am not completely familiar with the features.

There is a "source" directory in your Irrlicht SDK where you find the code for the complete engine. Open the project, edit the files and then compile, you should get a .dll-file and a .lib-file

.

anyone can help with already compiled dll?

I was getting the same error, but then I added /jpeglib to the include path and also /zlib. Probably wrong, but I had no idea what else to do. At least now I'm getting linker errors.

Does anyone else have this problem? I'd really like to recompile the source with this camera fix in there.
