Ahh, the good ole' guest account...

Really, can't you guys just turn off the guest account and save the rest of us from this kind of drivel?

Seriously, I can't think of a single programmers forum I frequent that allows guest accounts.

Why shouldn't someone create a login and post the same things? It's not commercial spam, it's someone having too much time.

well...dunno how are the internals of the forum but a bit of control of the ip(surely not possible with guest, dunno) or other stuff would be sweet...And anyway, without guest account , an important percentage of this wouldn't happen...

2. what ?

I think what he's saying is that he doesn't like that textures have to have dimensions that are a power of two. If so, that's a rather silly criticism, considering that that's a standard requirement in DirectX, and I believe also with OpenGL. I think there may even be penalties in hardware for using non power of 2 textures.

I think it's only weeks ago when hundreds of user accounts were created by spam bots in order to get a higher link count in search list rankings. No one could have stopped them from posting using these accounts. I don't know if counter measures have been implemented or if it stopped without, but don't count on software protection against spammers.
I'd favor a more aggressive removal practice where admins remove such posts immediately. Same as for spam mails where you wouldn't install large software tools if you only get one or two each day.
I'll stay guest as long as possible.

I think you are right. Thats probabily what he want to say.
But the textures are power of 2. so for him can be ani 2,4,6,16,32,64,128..*idem

32*128
64*128

And is standard for dx and opengl i think ... any way with out those the speed penalyties will be too big.
The textures from all engines are powers of 2. Of curse ypu can display images, buttons ... etc with diferent sizes of the original image if you take it from an teture ...

I have buttons in my game 40/40, GUI menu 800/600 drawn pixel with pixel ... but i have an small modified irrlicht version 4 that ...

Amyway this is not an reason to say stupid think like : Irrlicht is the worst engine ever.

its an older video card limitation. OpenGL 2.0 specifications have a feature GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two, not sure about DirectX (thats a first for me). any card OpenGL 2.0 compatible wouldnt have that limit anymore.
