Irrlicht Engine

Hello here is the source for the wow camera i promised

video of what it does
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 72&q=chieh

I will post the source code when i'm done cleaning up

delete

hello

I am in the process of writing it exactly like fps in irrlicht, so you'll just instantiate the class with the scene that it follows, i'll update you when it comes out.

Wheres the actual code for WowCamera?

I took it out cus i'm working on a much better one

nice work, i cant wait till you release the code, keep up the good work

Hello

The wow camera i had before was really sloppy, i have since then cleaned it us into one camera class. Basically, all you need to do is instantiate it, and it would just work.

So this is a third person camera that you attach a sceneNode to, once it is attached you can press s d f e to move it , w and r to rotate it, the camera would follow, you can also zoom in and out by scrolling the wheel, the right mouse button would rotate the sceneNode and the left would move the camera in a spherical fashion around the sceneNode,

the camera is called IamarCamera since I am building it for my newly found company Iamar , there are no animation bindings so the object doesn't animate it only translates, this is mainly because we have so many different mesh formats , in the future I will write one for MD2 format. You can find it now on my personal website

This is done in linux, so you might have to tweek it a little for window users, the following is how the main.cpp would look like using IamarCamera

Excuse me how did you get "IamarCamera.h" from?

Oh I found it...

If you want quite smooth, Gothic-like camera from my old project - Blood Giver { http://members.lycos.nl/nadro/download/irrdemo.zip }, you can find the source in following file:
It's quite old and it was written for me only, so it's ugly... { i've run it on irr 0.12 }

hello

i run on linux, i can't open up the exe

Then use wine.

thanks hybrid, i just got wine working, its pretty good


herion:
i ran your program, but it doesn't seem to let me enter when i click on the top option, it just goes to a blue screen with some sound, the second option shows me some instruction, and the last one exits , unless wine is not working, i'm not sure what's going on there

Directx 9.0c is required... and quite good graph. card { 64MB at least } I think some older version would crash.

i guess that's the problem

i'm using wine on linux, i don't have directx9 , thanx

do you mind if i play around with some of your mesh? I 'm getting really bored with sydney and faerie
