Good I started to like your format more than 3ds( and 3ds is the first format I first learned about when I started to learn C/C++)

2 sugestions/requests:

-now Irrlicht load my3d as a mesh but can you make the loader load like the collada forma, so you can export in my3d light and other stuff like octrees so Irrlicht would not nead to create the octree when loading( that would be usefull when loading big worlds)

-can you make your format have LOD suport?
I have asked Niko about LOD ( for big world -a some sort of Portal Redering with LOD) and sayed right now hase other plans for Irrlicht but he dayed more that Irrlicht has in an way LOD support somewere at the mesh loading( he sayed there is a LOD flag or sumthig-I saw it my self but I don't remamber where it was exactely right now)
My need of that is to be able to have huge world like in Morrowind (wich has a sort of portal rendering with LOD ) .
If you can do it than it would be a huge think for Irrlicht and the comunity and I would be gratefull to you.

Good luck further.

yeah, as everyone here has said, very nice add-on. I love it. Keep up the good work. Maybe I can ask you for some help later for a few engine mods I'm trying to do.

i love my3d and ive choose it for all enviroment and scenarios but i dont know how recompile the irrlicht 0.10 with the patches, could somebody recopile it and put it somewhere to download?

[etcaptor]

Just replace new patched files, open Irrlicht project witch your IDE and compile it.

i have a problem loading the textures: it always adds some strange prefix to the code. After a bit of experimenting and trying i figured out it must be something with the texturepath and WorkDir. Now in the loader i commented some lines and tried to run it and now the textures load. However i want to be able to specify my own directory. Any idea?

Ok im running MS Visual Studio 6 and see this in the code:

core::stringc file_name = file->getFileName();

this only gets the filename in my case, nothing else (no path). Which makes this return 'random' crap:

core::extractFilePath((c8*)file_name.c_str(), (c8*)WorkDir, 255);
