What I expect from Irrlicht 1.4

GameDude · Post by **GameDude** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 10:11 pm

Well I was just wondering. I could always export to a supported format that Irrlicht uses. It would be more of a convienace if Irrlicht supported .blend file, but its not a big deal to me.

imo, just add support to b3d lightmap feature to the blender b3d exporter, and you'r good to go, one format for characters and levels with *.b3d and blender.

Hybrid already explained it is almost impossible to support .blend file because .blend is basically just a memory dump of blenders current state and not an actual mesh interchange format.

i agree on this!

Does revision 866 help? I'm not used to Win32 mechanisms...

Sorry man, I did actually look at the patch but I didn't want to commit all of it. The tab key thing only worked for edit boxes, I wanted a generic solution instead. The proportional size thing was good, but I wanted auto-resizing elements instead (some of the code ended up in setPosition/setAlignment iirc).
The password thing was named "setObscured*" which I thought isn't very obvious if you're 15 years old and english isn't your first language. I already promised this will be in 1.4 though

edit: password editbox is now in svn

Yes it works, really big thanks!

But now I get this in the revision: 869:

Yes, I've added some ParticleAttractors from IrrSpintz. It will take some days until all project files are updated. For now just add the mentioned files (named just as the classes not found) to your project. I'm sorry, I just don't have those tools. I'll do my best to add it to some project files manually...

I know I have asked this before or it has been asked before, but when will 1.4 be released?

hybrid · Post by **hybrid** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 7:26 pm

when it's finished

As you might know we are planning for the animation system integration. This might take some weeks. So depending on the complexity of this task it might last even longer. And there'll also be a larger amount of testing necessary due to the size of this change.
If it will take too much time we might also make a release without the new animation system, but that would be only second or third choice.

Ah I see. So there is no esitmate as the changes could take some time. Just take as much time as you need, I don't think many people would like it if the new Irrlicht was released without the new animation system.

Compiling the latest SVN version of Irrlicht gives me this:

Code: Select all

I am working on this. But bug reports should be posted to that forum because they are easily overseen otherwise...
