Oh yeah, 0.4!

0.4 does break both of my coding samples, but no fear. They will be fixed with an extra goodie, a copy of their source in a zip for easier understanding.

Damn Niko, you are drinking A LOT of coffee
You said v0.4 next week, but it's only Monday! Keep up the good work...

Hehe, yes, but I wanted 0.4 out as fast as possible.
@saigumi: The most problems will be that ISceneNode::setRelativePosition() is no more available, it was replaced by ISceneNode::setPosition() to make it clear that it now works different. It took me only about 20 minutes to change everything in the engine with the new ISceneNode interfaces, so I hope it won't be much problems to fix your samples. And I think the interface won't change much again in all following releases.

I'd like to say, change the interface as much as needed before v1.0. If something doesn't fit, no point in building on top of it

the SpecialFX-demo is wonderful - with the last irrlichtversions we got the magical might to air and earth, now we get the might to fire and water.

Great job Niko! I just noticed one problem though: shadows on the demo seem to only appear when in windowed mode. I haven't looked at the code yes so I don't know if it's the demo or the engine.
But the new features are soooo sweet man!

Ah, interesting. But maybe in previous versions of the demo you would get a black screen or very low fps instead of no shadow. I added a check for this in 0.4, switching off shadows if they would cause problems.

Yes, I got atrociously slow framerates with shadows on in 0.3 (but still no visible shadows
) As for your shadows test exec that used version 0.3.5 I can't quite remember if it had problems in Fullscreen or windowed, but it did have on one of them (will check later when I get home).
But this thing of being troublesome in FS but not win is quite strange... I have a GeForce 2 Ti using the latest detonator drivers in XP.
