Holes in the level after its compiled, WTF?

[RayOfAsh]

I finnaly made the camera spawn where i wanted it to.

Code: Select all

	camera->setPosition(core::vector3df(-1370,-100,-1400));

I assume i shouldnt have to do that because in the original it was:

Code: Select all

	camera->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,100,0));

But anyways. Now that i can see the level, there are GIGANTIC chunks of the level missing, all in the form of triangles. Whats going on?


I assume its something with OpenGL =/.

Are you using DirectX and are they all white?

[rt]

if your level is in the .bsp format then you might want to read this thread http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... c.php?t=82. if your level is not a .bsp then perhaps the problems are related

First of all, i said i was using OpenGL. And the all white bug is a bug in OpenGL, not DirectX.

And thanks for the link, it works perfectly now ^^.

Well I a quite new around Irrlicht (I haven't even run it for the first time, still downloading) but I have worked with some other (rather sucky, dunno how this one will be) engines, and, depending on where you placed the camera, you could get really nice results or a complete disaster. From your code it seems you placed the camera away from the main guy/object/wathever and it is possible falling outside the level pretty often (this problem happened sometimes with a CD game called Prince of Persia). I migth be wrong in this, or I might not.

That problem seems to happen in many games, especially when you get to the edge of an area( to the guy above my post).and it seems to me, in a portal rendering -type engine...it seems to happen even more........( re: play morrowind for a while........)
