Irrlicht Engine

Hello everyone. I need to make a game, transportation simulator, to be exact. Now, I would like to know what do I need to start making it. I downloaded Irrlicht Engine 1.6, 3DSMAx( I worked in it), and what to do next? Any help?

Have you tried looking at some of the Irrlicht tutorials? There a great way to get started, as they explain things to you.

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tutorials.html

well, i guess you should have a look at the tutorials first

start with simple test-apps first before you start your transport app. so you maybe avoid this to end in a messed up application.

EDIT: too slow

Lol, you almost beat me

And ya besides from what I said to look at the tutorials

Master made a good point; to try a much smaller app before you go with your main goal.

Oh wow, I saw those tutorials, they explains everything, and I understand this coding, and at least, i can always use those tutorials as a template. But now, My first goal is to create scenery, I mean terrain for my game. I saw it here:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/example012.html
and it is great but where to model, or create those mountains. In 3dsMax? I saw that textures are added or called by program, but how to make this wireframe terrain? Sry cuz of my bad english, I hope u have the point of my question

The terrain is generated from a heightmap. You can create them with graphics tools such as gimp or photoshop, or even better with terrain modellers such as terragen.

Okay thkx :D

BTW what should be the size of the pic? I mean resolution? Is it fixed or what?

try 129x129 or 257x257. For huge terrains look up tiled terrain manager in the forums.

Nem has good a pretty good free terrain generator here:

I found a little problem, I installed Visual C++ 2008, but i cant run any of these examples that i downloaded from the irrlicht site... How to get exe files from those examples???

Edit:
Solved F5 haha
