is it possible to use the xml reader before you start the irrlicht device
since i need to load the driver type from the xml file

i had this same problem and i came up with two solutions...
1. grab the source for the stand alone irrXml
2. create a dummy software render device for use of xml.

I for one picked number two because i didnt want to have to put the sourcecode for somthing already in there.

well the first schouldnt be a problem http://www.ambiera.com/irrxml/
and the second is fairly easy:

Code: Select all

IrrlichtDevice* device = createDevice(EDT_NULL);
//and then work with this one until you finished want you wanted to do, e.g. config loading..
device->drop();
device = createDevice(EDT_WHATEVER);
