That reminds me that most of the comments are not correct.... I think I will improve them on next release.

thanks for that..... and I think your camera class deserves a documentation

I got only 15 fps drop down by applying it, ,,, it is so smooth and even makes a collision animator response for camera

I have just updated the camera. Do not hesitate to give me your impression.

Thanks,

hy!

xterminhate it seems I have a problem. I use your rpg camera but I'm not sure it is your cade fault.

My character gets stuck in the map sometimes, which is very ennoing and I don't know why. I made another thread here some time ago, but no response : http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... 1&start=15
(is the 8th post).

Can someone please help me ?

CCameraRPGSceneNode does not handle player collisions.

You have to build a Collision Response Animator according Irrlicht tutorial. You have got an example into the main program packed with the CCameraRPGSceneNode package.

You should create a dedicated new thread and give us your code (coliision selector, animator, ...etc).

Thanks,
Xterminhate.

I guess my problem is in the design part ( the map ) and not in the programming part. I tested the camera with flat terrain and it works just fine. I will do more researching and if I can't find any solutions, I'll start a new thread.

Bye

Hope you will solve your problems too....

Note : Are you using height map for terrain rendering ?

No.

I'm using 3ds max to make a .3ds file, then I import it in DeleD ,and save it as .dmf .

I encountered the same stucking problem if walking on highpoly ground...
no matter whether I applied the xterminhates camera or not, it happens

You must compile CCameraSceneNode and CCAmeraRPGSceneNode before linking to your main.obj. Just add thoses file to your project....

I have just updated the camera. It's really smooth now.

Do not hesitate to give me your impression.

Enjoy,

xterminhate -- Cool stuff! I just tried v4 out. It's way too fast on my machine. Do you know how to slow it down? This is just cool. I was going to write my own, but you've done an excellent job already!

The controls is a bit ackward. It's not like other fps setup (quake, doom3, etc.). I guess you did mentioned that it is like guild wars (never played that game).
