I hope this won't be the only new features of the next version...
Everyone can put together the extensions found in the forum.

I'd prefer new/better functionality with the GUI.

I would like to see better Linux/OpenGL support, and a 100% finished .x loader (or better than that, a new .irr format with support for everything that IrrLicht has).

Try NX++

I'd like niko to review all the new loaders and addons and stuff people have made (like the smoother fps camera and the md3 loader and a whole lot of open source modifications that are really useful)and include them in 8 and the forum should get a tutorials section!

Everything mentioned here is implemented in NX++ (www.irlichtnx.mmdevel.de)

yea but official would be better, If hed take more notice of nx then this engine could be alot better

I don't understand what you are talking about when you say official, official relating to Irrlicht or IrrlichtNX. Surely Irrlicht is now just a base for which the IrrlichtNX++ development team work on, this seems to me quite a credible forking of an Open Source project, (yes I know Irrlicht is not licensed under the GPL). NX & this aren't specifically linked, NX now to me seems a different project, based on Niko's code.

Me too, thats why i've been tampering with GUI widgets. But since I can't seem to recompile my own DLL for the engine, i'm having to write my own class outside of the engine. (which work perfectly fine) The other day I finished code for an ImageButton. (using a JPEG/BMP/ etc...) as a button. It acts just like IGUIButton*. I don't plan on sending in the code to Niko, I believe he know's how thats done

I think CEGUI is compatible with Irrlicht now. Really awesome GUI-library

.

Jedive · Post by **Jedive** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 12:26 pm

AFAIK, it is compatible with IrrLichtNX++.

ask not what Irrlicht can do for you but what you can do for Irrlicht in return.
