Is there a way to change irrlicht units into quake 3 units?

Code: Select all

#define irrUnits q3Units

Do i need to recompile irrlicht or i need to put this into my game?

There is no such things like "Irrlicht units" or q3 units. You can put this code anywhere, it won't do anything. Simply adjust the parameters of your scene or your modelling tool in order to get models and scenes which fit.

well its pain for me, for example 64 q3 units are near 25 in irrlicht.

Then scale your q3 map by 2.something when loading it into Irrlicht. Should be the same size as you expect it then.

Okey ill try that, can you take look at my 2nd thread http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=40332 ?

Hehe, you really have to stop doing this; remember the high-security-source-code-download-server story?

[randomMesh]

Get a list of all nodes in your scene and explicitly scale them with this function

Code: Select all

void setNodeHeight(irr::scene::ISceneNode* const node, const irr::f32 requiredHeight)
{
	const irr::core::aabbox3df& nodeBox = node->getBoundingBox();
	const irr::f32 nodeHeight = nodeBox.getExtent().Y;
	const irr::f32 nodeScale = requiredHeight/nodeHeight;

//	printf("Required height: %f\n", requiredHeight);
//	printf("Node height: %f\n", nodeHeight);
//	printf("Scale factor: %f\n", nodeScale);

	node->setScale(irr::core::vector3df(nodeScale, nodeScale, nodeScale));
	node->updateAbsolutePosition();
}

Code: Select all

irr::scene::IMeshSceneNode* sydney = smgr->addMeshSceneNode(sydneyMesh->getMesh(0));

const irr::f32 SYDNEY_REQUIRED_HEIGHT = 1.8f; //units
setNodeHeight(sydney, SYDNEY_REQUIRED_HEIGHT);

This example would scale the node to be exact 1.8 units in height.
What kind of units? Well, could be meters, yards, light-years. You decide.
The important thing is, that you scale objects relative to others.

One more question, i was looking in tut 7 (collision) and i didn't found info about adding collision to 2nd node, i want my player to collide with BSP and with spawned mesh, how to?

Haha That's where I get my regeneration from These things suddenly come to my mind, and I cannot resist...
