Hi All,
I'm farily new to Irrlicht, but so far I think it's pretty cool...
I'm working on a project at the moment where I need to model a room.
I'm using DeleD 1.0 Pro as the tool to build the room...

Ok.. now if I just load the dmf file and the textures up in Irrlicht,
no problems, I get the room as a textured object..

If I place the lightmap files into the same directory as the dmf file, so Irrlicht can find the lightmap files, I start to get problems..

Pic without including lightmap files:

The image is an example of the problem I get.. and I don't know how to fix it..

Can anyone give me pointers?

Regards
Neil

Hi and Welcome to Irrlicht,
I think you'd better use DeleD Pro 1.36 (new version) cause DMFLoader is supposed to work right with DeleD 1.1+ (Pro or Lite) versions (I wrote it

) because of some issues (lightmap flipping) with previous versions.
So I suggest you to update to DeleD Pro 1.36 rebuilt your lightmaps and try to load your level this way so you don't need to move your textures any time:

Code: Select all

//introduce your DeleD textures path, this is my installation path ;)
smgr->getParameters()->setParameter(DMF_TEXTURE_PATH, "D:\\Programmi\\DeleD Pro\\Textures\\");

//with this you'll tell the loader to use DeleD standard paths for textures            smgr->getParameters()->setParameter(DMF_USE_MATERIALS_DIRS,true);

//So you'll support alpha channel             smgr->getParameters()->setParameter(DMF_ALPHA_CHANNEL_REF,0.01f);

//Flip alpha textures because Irrlicht flips tga files    smgr->getParameters()->setParameter(DMF_FLIP_ALPHA_TEXTURES,true);

//Load your models as usual
...
...

If you have other problems let me know.
Bye

Hi ilbuzzo,
Didn't realised 1.36 existed till after I'd posted.. opps...

Got that version, added your code and the light mapping works..

cheers... Only issue I've got to sort out now is why my lightmpas are so pixelated in Irrlicht..

Thanks for your help..
