IrrWizard?

[area51]

@Human Shield I havn't done much with the mouse wheel, although there is a topic here that might help:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... ouse+wheel

@dawasw There are some minor fixes in the CVS to do with release and debug mode. It works much better in debug mode basically.

You're problem is that Dev C++ dosen't like the 'assert' statement found in the IGameEntity::SetID function, you can comment this out toget around your problem. (or use debug mode)

Code: Select all

assert ( (val >= m_iNextValidID) && "<BaseGameEntity::SetID>: invalid ID"); 

@jaymel6 The easiest way is to set the speed of each enemy to a different value, then they wont bunch so much.

A better way would be to write a function that offsets the final position if an enemy already occupies the spot.
It's possible that I will implement this as Im going through the process of creating a game in anger and will probably encounter the same problems as yourself, and others.

Hope this helps, good luck

thanks

I already change the speed of the enemy but at some point they still goes in the same spot, I guess i had to change the way point of each enemy. or create a new function that offset the enemy position.

my new question are if you have a new tutorial for finding the path for a new level. I loaded a new quake level (bsp) on a game but the enemy are floating all over the place, I think it still using the old path from the 20-map.

I check your tutorial in A* pathfinding but i'm still confuse. hopefully you have a detail or code sniplets or post a step by step tutorial how can implement a new path for a game.

thank you

Hi jaymel6,

I have updated the A* tutorial on the site to include a top down diagram and code of the navgraph.

http://irrwizard.sourceforge.net/tut09.html

This may make it a little clearer.

If not then get back to me with the specific area you're stuck on, and I'll try to help.

btw, the diagram is part of a random dungeon that automaticaly generates the A* Navgraphs for each level.

Hi,

I don't know if this was asked already but would it be possible to have IrrWizard output C# code and to support #Develop2 IDE?

Not without a complete re-write unfortunatly.

Even using something like code2code.net would be a major task.

Has anyone got .irr files loading properly in irrWizard? I've got a loader going but am having trouble getting collisions activated for the scenes meshes.

[area51]

Umm, we might need an ISceneManager::getMetaTriangleSelector() to be able to use the .irr files.

I can have a play around tonight, but in the back of my mind, there seems to be something missing

IrrWizard 1.1 now released!

This is considered a minor compatability release, here are the following changes:

• Compatability with Irrlicht 1.1
  
  Modified shooting code to handle multiple enemies.
  Added multiple enemies to Level 1
  
  Added createWaterEffect function to GameGFXManager that allows
  a 'cheap water' node to be added
  
  Added createBumpMapNode function to GameGFXManager that allows
  a bump mapped node to be added.
  
  Changed explosion effect when shooting water
  Moved createExplosion() function from GameWeaponManager to GameFXManager
  
  Level NavGraph for A* pathfinding can now be loaded from an
  external XML file.If the file doesn't exist, then it will be
  loaded from the hard coded level data as normal.
  
  Split GamePlayState::loadMap() into seperate functions, skyMap
  keybindings etc
  
  Added Support for Optional FMOD Build this meads is no longer
  necessary use Fmod default it will not compile Fmod class,
  for compile define USEFMOD options usualy in the project options
  under c++ (VS preprosesor definitions, DevCpp)
  
  Added 'Particle Effects' true/false in config.xml
  
  Overloaded loadMap function to allow camera position to be changed.
  
  Added seperate sound effects per weapon. Pistol, shotgun & launcher etc

Hi there,

First off all, a great tool. Thanks area51 and all those who contribute to it!

I am new to games programming (background is more 3d modeling and animating)

I'm a bit stuck at the moment. I want the player to restart the level if health is gone and reduce it's live by one.

when i change the gameplaystate.cpp to :

Code: Select all

void CGamePlayState::Update(CGameManager * pManager)
{
	// overide in child class
	pManager->getDriver()->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(0,100,100,100));
	pManager->getSceneManager()->drawAll();	
	pManager->getGUIEnvironment()->drawAll();
	pManager->getEnemyManager()->Update();
	pManager->getWeaponManager()->Update();
    pManager->getItemManager()->Update(pManager);

	displayCrossHair(pManager);
	displayAmmoBar(pManager, pManager->getPlayer()->getAmmo());
	displayHealthBar(pManager, pManager->getPlayer()->getHealth());
	displayIcons(pManager);
    pManager->getDriver()->endScene();
	if (pManager->getPlayer()->getHealth() <= 0)
		if (pManager->getPlayer()->Death(pManager))
				ChangeState(pManager, CGameStateLevel01::Instance());

	

}

the game crashes. something to do with the weaponstate
Am i on the right track anybody??

got it sorted

[area51]

Cool.

Im doing modifications to make the full game implementation complete and fully playable at the moment.

Death and respawn needs a little change to go from normal camera to death camera and back. I've added a camera pointer and accessors on the CPlayer class and ReSpawn() and Reset() functions.

Then reseting the camera position to:
pManager->getPathManager()-getRandomWaypoint();

Hi anyone,

I have put a door in one of my levels like this:

Code: Select all

scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* doorNode;
	scene::IAnimatedMesh* door = pManager->getSceneManager()->getMesh("media/door.ms3d");
	doorNode = pManager->getSceneManager()->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(door);
	doorNode->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, false);
	doorNode->setMaterialTexture( 0, pManager->getDriver()->getTexture("media/stripes.jpg") );
	doorNode->setRotation(core::vector3df(0,90,0));
	doorNode->setScale(core::vector3df(1.8,1.8,1));
	doorNode->setPosition(core::vector3df(890, 510, -10));
	irr::scene::ITriangleSelector* doorSelector = pManager->getSceneManager()->createTriangleSelectorFromBoundingBox(doorNode); 
        if(doorSelector) 
		    pManager->getMetaSelector()->addTriangleSelector(doorSelector);

i have put this under CGamePlayState::Init(pManager);

How do i put an animation on it to be triggered when the player comes close.

thanks
