irrEdit and other systems that use loadScene are getting pretty cool. the problem i see though is that while it works fantastic for loading nodes, when you start adding a framework around Irrlicht in order to see what was added during the last load your left taking a node snapshot before the load and comparing it to one after. maybe there is a better solution but i havent found one yet. what i would like to throw out, is having one more parameter to loadScene that would either be a list or array (i would prefer array). it would default to null, but if passed it would be populated with pointers to the ISceneNodes that were loaded. this would allow one then after the load to be able setup the nodes properly in their own framework for whatever they are using them for.
if this seems reasonable and would be accepted, i would be more than happy to do the work and provide a patch to the powers that be.
