Irrlicht Engine

hi,
I'm looking to make Irrlicht working on XBOX. (with the XDK last one)
I would like to use Irrlicht for a new Dashboard.

I compiled somme examples using Irrlicht with XDK and i have only one error :

------ Build started: Project: irl1, Configuration: Debug Xbox ------
Compiling...
main.cpp
Linking...
Creating Xbox Image...
IMAGEBLD : error IM1013: cannot import by name from 'Irrlicht.dll'

Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\francisco\Mes documents\Visual Studio Projects\irl1\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
irl1 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
---------------------- Done ----------------------

Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped

i compiled the same example on a PC project and works.

So if someone can help me ?
I suppose i need to recompile Irrlicht for XBOX but some help will be greeaaat

I have never gone into XBox developing or anything like it, but perhaps you need to compile the irrlicht.dll for the x-Box.
I think this must be the same reaseon why there is a irrlicht.dll for Dev-C++ and a irrlicht.dll for Visual Studio in the SDK.
That wouldn't end in a compile error, but perhaps it has to something to do with "Creating Xbox Image"

I like the idea to port Irrlicht to xBox
Good Luck!

HI,
go on this site : http://xport.xbox-scene.com/
Try to contact someone.
That emulator are simpli recompiled for the Xbox machine (I think),
so they may have a solution for you.


You have tryed to link statically Irrlicht to your XBOX aplication?

Please let us know if it helps you.

The XBOX does NOT support DLLS. You have to compile as a static library. I have an XBox Device made, like the win32 and linux device. It seems to work. Although, I do not have any input working yet. I have a problem with the textures. They are swizzled, and I am having trouble finding information on how to deal with this. I think I need to pre swizzle the textures, but I have not found out how to do that. I started working with Nate Cain on the XBox version of IRRLICHT, then he disappeared. He is the owner of that project.

MattyBoy is it possible to have the xBox Device ?
Or the way to make it ?

I would like to continue the work.

I have a patch against 0.6 that should get us started. I am trying to get a hold of Nate Cain, who started the Irrlicht-X project, but he is no where to be found. I have emailed SF, to see if I can take over the project. I still have a problem with swizzled textures. Also, none of the user input has been written.

where did u get the XDK?

I've been trying for a year to find it!!!!

mmmm... xbox...

To compile for the XBOX you need three things.

1.) Visual Studio 2003.Net
2.) XDK
- Get an account for downloading binary usenet. Something like www.newshosting.com
- Get a program to help ya. I like news bin pro, www.newsbin.com
- The XDK was just posted and is routinely posted to alt.binaries.cd.image.xbox or check an indexing service
- DOWNLOAD it.
3.) Modded XBox (DO At your own risk!!)
- Install the DEBUG software on the XBOX. Remember to burn the software to a DVD+RW. They work better for the XBOX.

Errr..hate the bust up the hullabaloo but isn't the XDK illegal unless you pay about 20,000 USD to Microsoft to be licsensed as a qualified developer? If so, let's keep illegal discussion out of Irrlicht IMHO.
