my own map doesnt appear in collision test

RayOfAsh · Post by **RayOfAsh** » Wed Dec 31, 2003 1:21 am

i renamed the maps to point to my maps:

device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("data/test1.pk3");

scene::IAnimatedMesh* q3levelmesh = smgr->getMesh("test1.bsp");

And i dont get any errors, but i also dont see anything. Just a black screen. I checked the console and it is finding my textures. Whats wrong? Is it the lighting or something?

I see a flash of what looks like my map for a split second, and then nothing.

Im using OpenGL render mode, because the Dec-C++ dll doesnt seem to support DirectX yet.

The normal collision test works fine, except that sometimes it keeps walking and there seems to be a lag between the time i press the button and the time it responds to it.

Do you have an active camera?

Im using the collision demo's code. I assume it has a camera.

it could be that the camera in the default position is embedded in some 3d object, thus causing a black screen.

could be, how do i know where it will pop up?

Set the cameras target to the position of the level node.

camera->setTarget(vector3df(level_node->getPosition()));

Then see if you still get a blank screen.

Well the level isnt exactly a node, and i dont know how to make it one.
And when i change the "level_node" to "q3node" it gives me:

112 C:\irrlicht\projects\fps\main.cpp
no match for call to `(irr::core::vector3df) (const

Im putting the code right below:

Code: Select all

	camera = smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0,100.0f,300.0f);
	camera->setPosition(core::vector3df(5,5,5));

I think you are starting outside of the level and the camera gravity is causing you to fall really fast
Just disable your collision detection code and fly over to find your map then you can change either your camera start position or the map position in your code so that the camera starts somewhere in the level.

Yes thats exactly whats happening, but how do i know the coordinants?

Try this...

IAnimatedMesh* Level_Mesh = Smgr->getMesh("LEVEL_FILE_NAME");
ISceneNode* LevelNode = Smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(Level_Mesh);

"Smgr" is the scene manager...... replace it with the name of yours.

Thats the one in the Quake3 tutorial...
scene::ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();

Okay, now there is a duplicate map

. And nothing happens.

Nothing happens?? ... you were having a problem with finding the map, thats all I was trying to help with.
