Controlling bones...

[Nextor]

Hi all.

I just updated to Irrlicht 1.3.1. and I tried to install Acki's Custom Bones to be able to control the bones of my .X meshes but it didn't work. So i guess I'll have to get back to 1.3 version.

Please Acki, release your new version of custom bones !!!
Anyway, when is Irrlicht going to be able to provide control to the bones of .x meshes? I think is a basic feature...

Greetings to all

You can already use the new animation system via the SVN branch. It's basically an 1.3 version with the animation system added. This will become part of Irrlicht in one of the next releases.

My God, Hyb, you're as quick as a flash!!

Didn't know about that SVN branch. Where can I get some information about this?

Thanx a lot

you will need a svn browser like Tortoise SVN (google it) and then just connect irrlicht.svn.sourceforge.net with tortoise svn.

Look under the "SkinnedMesh" directory. Currently it lets you control B3D meshes' bones. (But you have to uncomment some lines).

Thank you guys

I think I'd rather wait for the next release of Irrlicht and keep working with the old irrlicht version for now.

Thanks again

well you no longer have to uncomment any lines, and it works with ms3d bones now to x meshes coming soon...

Nextor, if you don't help test it and report bugs, then you forfeit your right to complain if Irrlicht 1.4 has bone control bugs

Now I have a feeling of guilt

Okay, okay, I actually had some troubles using SVN, that's why I gave up. I'll try again.
