I was wondering why you are not using IrrExt?

It seems to be disorganized.

I'd write my own custom behavior before reading through someone else's only to discover it's not what I wanted.

a) I don't know what it is
b) I doubt I need it, if I did, I would know what it is

Well, you asked

This looks like an advertising problem to me.

I always forget that it exists. I think it should be put on the main webpage so that we don't forget all about it.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it kind of outdated? Also a lot of features it has I have found elsewhere, and they work as good, if not better, than irrExt.

Talking about this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/irrext/
It's a testbed for add-ons which might make their way into Irrlicht later on, and for projects which have large sets of dependencies which prohibit inclusion into the engine.

Thank you for all your answers.

IrrExt is suppose to be a collection of all of those single projects around.

I think the list of addons should be included in the irrlicht frontpage below downloads link in a table similar to the ones in downloads section.

I'm from Dominican Republic, we have Romo here (a drink with a lot of alcohol)

some peoples like me are allergic at "extensions, plugins and dlls". We prefer snippets. or at least a organized folder of snippets. Is irrExt the same? XD maybe it's only the name that keep people away..

irrExt is a bit invisible . there wasn't very visible links so also when you find it casually there is a chanche you will avoid that link
