I'm not much of a programmer, so I can't help with the grass thing that much. but I do know in blender to create nice looking grass, people use static particles...

Aye, bitplane wrote an awesome node for rendering grass. It uses kinda static particles and you can render quite a lot of grass very fast. Its surprisingly speedy!

Emil, I cant see anything in the help file. All I can see are the menus in the left...

Nm, you have to download it to disk to see it. If you try open from internet, then it doesnt show a thing

Very nice work!

Hi krama757

why you open it from the net,i do not intend to open it via net,instead
you must download in your system then navigate it.

any way thanks for reading it and for your reply.

okay you've convinced me, i'm gonna use Magic2D for my menus and stuff

@Guest

there is a DLL version of the library, i have make it as dll for this reason,so
you could try it and if the Lib does not work you coud extract the Function
and make your Lib file with the help of tools in visual studio c++ express.

@bitplane

thank you very much.

           }
this will automatically play the movie in loop.

Thank you very much ! I could not do it myself.....Really good movie class

Note : You should release this modification into Irrlicht Wiki and Magic2D lib if it is not already done.

Still about movie, when I call TMovie::LoadMovie() (irrforge source), the irrlicht window loses focus. Have you ever noticed this problem ?

Emil_halim · Post by **Emil_halim** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 3:27 pm

no i did not notice it in my system,so i do not know the reason.

already i have applied the new NextMovieFrame function for Magic2d library
in version 0.5,when i have some time i will update the Wiki.

If someone has the same problem : here is a way to keep focus on window.... I need it when playing movie into irrlicht viewport.

Code: Select all

// keep window focus
HINSTANCE hInstance = (HINSTANCE)GetModuleHandle(NULL);
irr::video::SExposedVideoData exposedData = driver->getExposedVideoData();
HWND hWnd = reinterpret_cast<HWND>(exposedData.D3D9.HWnd);
SetFocus(hWnd);
SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);

Working for OpenGl and Direct3D modes.

I'm trying to get the DxMagic2d to work, in the header I had to change

#pragma comment(lib,"Magic2d.lib");

lines to...

#pragma comment(lib,"DxMagic2d.lib")

Now it doesn't give me to the missing library error...

but when I try to use functions

ViewOrtho() and ViewPerspective()

It gives me the error that LIBC.lib is missing... What is this library and How to stop the error...
