Bindenlicht - Java binding for Irrlicht

William Finlayson · Post by **William Finlayson** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 12:01 pm

Please don't take offence about not getting a reply sooner, I'm afraid I'm not on the forums all of the time, and I missed your other thread.

Unfortunately, getHeight has not been implemented yet in Bindenlicht. Thanks for bringing my attention to it though. I'll make sure it's working in the next release, and I'll add a proper implementation of Vector2Df. Right now I'm in my exam period at uni, so I can't say when the release will be, but rest assured that work is continuing on Bindenlicht. All I can suggest for now, is that you continue work on your program, but leave the terrain stuff until the next release. I'm sure this isn't the answer you were looking for, but I hope that you can appreciate that Bindenlicht is still in development, and hope that this doesn't put you off using it.

Just to let you know, I check these forums when I can, but I don't get any notification emails when posts have been made here, so if you are in need of a quick response to a Bindenlicht woe that goes unanswered here, I would suggest either the Bindenlicht forums, or emailing me directly.

0.1.8 released! Support for Irrlicht 0.8 is now there. The PerPixelLighting tutorial has been ported, but my hardware doesn't support the shaders, so if anyone is able to test it and let me know if it works that would be great. I'm also curious to know if it works in Linux.

The Input model has not been changes, I hope for the better. It's now easier to just work with the event's you want, the class names make a bit more sense, and some more of the swig nastiness has been hidden. Anyone needing to update their input code should take a look at the example's source to see the new way to add an event listener, and the new class names.

Other great news is that Stefan Dingfelder (of Jirr fame) has agreed to join forces on Bindenlicht

He has some great ideas, and I hope that with his help, Bindenlicht will see some very interesting improvements.

@CBMFreak: getHeight works now. Due to the way variables are passed in Java, you will need to use a FloatPointer class to get the height:

Code: Select all

FloatPointer heightPointer = new FloatPointer();
float height;
boolean valid = terrain->getHeight(new Vector2df(x,y),  heightPointer);
if(valid) height = heightPointer.value();

I played around with Bindenlicht and I like it. One thing I recognized is that the console output is displayed after the main thread is terminated, but not while the app is running. This is one thing you should fix urgently

That hasn't happened to me, but I haven't tested it with that many configurations. What platform and jre are you using? The console output works fine for me under WinXP, Ubuntu and Suse, all with Sun's 1.4 jre though.

I am using Win XP Pro SP2, Eclipse 3.1 M5a, Sun J2SDK 1.4.2_04.

hmm... i tried to run the bindenlicht batch files. the "helloworld" and and gui demos worked fine. the rest did not. here's an error log created when the quake3map demo failed.
