IrrlichtBB - Irrilicht Wrapper for BASIC
IrrlichtBB - Irrilicht Wrapper for BASIC
Hi all!
I have been working on an Irrlicht wrapper for 2 days now. It is a thingie that allows people using BASIC (Specifically Blitz3D and BlitzPlus) to be able to use the Irrlicht Engine in it. Just thought I'd post it here. Make sure its legal.

Also - Anybody have any webspace for a little subdomain I could have? I don't have anyway to have it Downloaded otherwise. :/

Yup, Nowhere to download. I got no webspace. Or website. :/
Are you the 'niko' that appeared on blitzbasic.com? There was one there.
Heres some screenies:

Hmmmm... Post the source and the files located in the folders (you need the dlls in it), if its possible please.
-Did you put BOTH dlls and the decls file in the Blitz userlib folder?
-Did you make sure to create the irrlicht device?
-Are the irrlicht functions hilighted in IDE?
-Are you using GFX modes your computer can use? (Both of my demos on there are 32 bit depth, which may be why)
Thanks. Please respond soon.
P.S. - Also try running it in debug mode, as it might not be an IrrBB problem. If it is, it will most likely say, "Userlib not found"

I'm currently testing with your starwars_demo source, and to answer the first three questions; yes. As for the fourth, my graphics card, GeForce FX5800, can support the resolution mode set by the code. Here's a screenshot of the BlitzIDE when I get the error message, hope it helps and we can get this worked out soon.
Really interersting thing...There are many Blitz3d coders that surely will like to play with several Irrlicht features, and this way they can have extra projects in which they aim to do things they can't do with the dx7 rendering of B3d...
IE, it does not support spline interpolation...in b3d anims. I am not sure but I suppose irrlicht *.x dx8 can....
Besides having a rendering engine -irrlicht- that is not freezed, and continues evolving (and even is open source!)
Blitz3d is a great product, and I know the b3d coders will love this what you are making. I know already some that have been (and surely are) very interested in Irrlicht.

Finally making games again!

AlexL: Are you running it on Mac!?!?!?!!? 0.o Or windowblinds? I found out that sometimes Blitz messes up with windowblinds themes (!). Why do you have 4 Blitzcc.exe's running? If they are multiple runs, it messes up sometimes. Hope it all works out... Also try running debug on, and see what error it says.
vermeer: I know a whollllle bunch of b3d coders wanting it, which is why I started making it! Thanks for the kind words! Blitz3D is a pretty good product, but its rendering engine kinda sucks (dx7), so I also thought of making a wrapper. I was thinking OGRE, Irrlicht, or Allegro. And obviously I chose this! Maybe a physics wrapper next.... ODE? Newton? Axis? ...hmmm..
I've had a lot more people test it and it works for them now, and a lot volunteer to make demos too!
