Irrlicht Project Wizard for VS 2008

[Mux]

I grew tired of writing the same code over and over again when creating a new Irrlicht project so I got the idea to creat a wizard for it. I thought that maybe others would find it usefull too so I've put it up for download here:

Installation instructions:
Put
Irrlicht Project.ico,
Irrlicht Project.vsz and
Irrlicht Project.vsdir
in the .\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcprojects folder

Put the IrrlichtProject-folder in the .\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\VCWizards directory

When you want to create a new project you should see "Irrlicht Project" among the templates installed for Visual Studio. After naming your project you will be asked for the paths to Irrlichts include directory and lib directory. And when clicking on Finish a small Irrlicht project will be created.

I've only tried this on my own computer so I would like to hear if it works on other peoples computers too.

This is really nice of you. It works great and will make it so much more fun to experiment with Irrlicht.

Thanks again!

I'm running on the Windows 7 RC version. I just couldn't warm up to the beta of VS2010, so I installed my VS2008 for now.

thanks a lot, for irr beginner as me its v helpful
only one thing I found wrong in main.cpp (\IrrlichtProject\Templates\1033\)

Code: Select all

...
int main()
{
	IrrlichtDevice *device= createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECT3D9, core::dimension2d<s32>(640, 480),32,false,false,false);
...

and it should be <u32> not <s32>, with that changed it worked for me,
and with the Express Edition (I'm using) the 3 files should go to \Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\Express\VCProjects\
