Awesome, right.But this is not school and no, you don't have to write it fifty times to prove it.
An even version number in the opensource community means a stable, mainly bugfixed release. Downloading right now, testing during the weekend. Changelog sounds promising. Thanks Niko and contributors.

Questoin: irrKlang doesn't work with dev-cpp?

[edit]

Yup only win-32 lib. XD

OpenGL on Linux is still very slow - 235fps for the terrain demo. I'll see if I can profile it if I have the time.

That's great but I'm affraid the 1.2.1 is going to be necessary, because as I can see, multi texture still does not work with GLSL, and the Smooth flag is enabled (whereas it seems to be unstable).


PS : Is it just a compiled version of the SVN or was something more added ?

[Lynxeye]

I downloaded it and recompile my game with the new version. Positive: the modelloader for .x and .b3d work like it should. But it seems that any setting of ambient light is ignored. I cant get it to work. Does anybody have any ideas?

There is a global ambient light switch now, check the changes.txt and API.

[Lynxeye]

The changes.txt says there is an ambient light set method in the scene manager called setAmbientLight, but I cant find it there!

Does it really? If you see anyone from that community, tell them I said hi, and they owe me a cup of sugar.

Hm, you are right, somehow it disappeared from the ISceneManager interface again. It's in the CSceneManager implementation, but slipped away before the release again. Sorry. As workaround - if you don't want to add the method to the interface and recompile the engine - you can use the ISceneNode::deserializeAttributes() method from the Root scene node to set the ambient light.

[Lynxeye]

Can you give a little Code Snipped how to set the ambient light through the deserializeAttributes method?

I have no experience with this things. Would be very nice of you!

This is an ugly hack, but it _should_ work.

Code: Select all

void ISceneManager_setAmbientLight(scene::ISceneManager* smgr, IFileSystem* files, video::SColor color)
{
  io::IAttributes* a = files->createEmptyAttributes();

  // get the current attributes
  scene::ISceneNode* self = smgr->getRootSceneNode();

  self->serializeAttributes(a);

  // set the color attribute
  a->setAttribute("AmbientLight", color);

  self->deserializeAttributes(a);

  // destroy attributes
  a->drop();
}

}

What do i put for IFileSystem* files?
