Two question about DLL, CAnimatedMeshSceneNode.

[NewerCookie]

Hi~
I have two question.

1.
I derived from "CAnimatedMeshSceneNode" and compiled it.
There are tons of link error about CAnimatedMeshSceneNode functions.
The problem is using DLL, I change to static lib, solved.
Why I Can't use DLL?


2.
searching result :

Every say Don't derive from "CAnimatedMeshSceneNode".
I can't see exact reason.
Why don't Derive from "C...SceneNode" class?

Thanks in advance.

1.
The DLL only exports the createDevice function. The linker doesn't know about any other thing unless you use the static lib which exports everything.

2.
Because the C... are implementations of an interface. Just derive your class from the I... interfaces and implement them.

Sylence, Thanks a lot!

Because the C... are implementations of an interface. Just derive your class from the I... interfaces and implement them.

for example, CAnimatedMeshSceneNode is so huge.
I must copy and paste all of CAnimatedMeshSceneNode to new scenenode?
They are almost identical. memory is wasted by same functions,variables.
It's right way?

Yes, that's the proper way to do things, or you have to put the node into the library, which means altering Irrlicht to some extent.

Thanks, hybrid

No, I don't want to edit engine code, directly.
It's make difficult to use next version, right?
I go to copy and paste..
