The docu you already found is right now the most up-to-date on the servers. But all the documentation is generated with doxygen. Call scripts/doc/irrlicht/makedocumentation.bat to generate a new documentation locally.

Isn't a big deal build new docs's the problem are my huge help file (as compiled *.chm and the ordinary *.html online version) links to the C++ online version.
That means if the 1.8 docs moved from http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docutemp/ to any other place i have to change all hundrets links "manualy" too.
The space on sourceforge.net isn't a problem to handle more version's permanently.

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/1.8

Yeah, I like the idea, makes a lot of sense. I'll ask the others what they think about it when I catch them next time in chat.

IMeshBuffer->getIndexType can be EIT_16BIT or EIT_32BIT
but
IMeshBuffer->append accept only ushort * as index array !

How can i use 32 bit indicies with a IMeshBuffer or IDynamicMeshBuffer ?
Thank you to point me in the right direction.

Basically, append() is all broken and might now work in many situations. Better use a different approach for now.

The shortest pice of gemetry in irrlicht is an IMeshBuffer
if you define one triangle with two sides and each side has a different material
you have to define it as two different IMeshBuffers wich are a part of one SceneNode.

Is it right so far or i'm wrong ?
