Animation issue with IrrlichtLime

[tatvainfopci33]

Hello Everyone,

We had used IrrLicht.Net.dll in our project.
Now we are going to update animation using IrrlichtLime.

But I am facing some issue
we had used "MaterialFlag.LIGHTING" and "MaterialType.FORCE_32BIT_DO_NOT_USE" using Irrlicht.net dll. But we are not able to find "MaterialType.FORCE_32BIT_DO_NOT_USE" on IrrlichtLime. That's why we are not getting perfect animation like my old animation. we have tried all MaterialType with IrrlichtLime. and facing animation with black section using IrrlichtLime.

Any one have idea which is materialType we need to use ?

Thanks in advance

Hello!
Thank you for using IrrlichtLime.
The material type FORCE_32BIT_DO_NOT_USE is not meant to be used at all. It is necessary for C++ compilers to know, that the enum is 32bit.
It is invalid and I'd expect Irrlicht to fall back to ignore the material and probably behave unexpectedly. From looking at the sources, the OpenGL driver for example just does ignore the material.

Are you using shaders? The MaterialType to be used is returned by the method used to add the shader.

What are you trying to achieve? What are the problems with the other material types?
And could you show the code, where you set up the material, maybe there's a problem.

As a workaround, you can still use the FORCE_32BIT_DO_NOT_USE material type this way (not tested, maybe hex numbers are written differently in c#):

Code: Select all

 
MaterialType notUseType = (MaterialType)0x7fffffff;
 

But I recommend you try fixing this in a 'clean' way.

Hello Foaly,

Thanks for reply.
I thinks, problem with lighting position and camera position (this is working with Irrlicht.net). Can you please help for that?
If _scaleFactorUnit >= 1 then Okay animation. If _scaleFactorUnit < 1 then animation is total black (Not perfect animation)

This position is working with Irrlicht.Net dll for both case ( scaleFactorUnit >= 1 OR _scaleFactorUnit < 1). why this is not working with IrrichtLime ? Why we need to change position for IrrichtLime ?

Here code:
// dblRedius =250

Code: Select all

public static void LoadMeshes(IrrlichtDevice device, out CameraSceneNode cam, out SceneNode node, float dblRedius, float _scaleFactorUnit)
     {
            LightSceneNode Light;
            LightSceneNode Light1;
            LightSceneNode Light2;
 
            device.SceneManager.Clear();
 
            IrrlichtLime.Scene.AnimatedMesh mesh = device.SceneManager.GetMesh("Image Path(.3DS)");
            node = device.SceneManager.AddAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh, null, -1);
            node.SetMaterialFlag(MaterialFlag.Lighting, false);
            MaterialType notUseType = (MaterialType)0x7fffffff;
            node.SetMaterialType(notUseType);
 
            Light = device.SceneManager.AddLightSceneNode(null, new Vector3Df((-150f), (150f), (250)),
                    new Colorf(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f), (350.0f) * _scaleFactorUnit, 0);
            Light1 = device.SceneManager.AddLightSceneNode(null, new Vector3Df((100f), (150f), (-250f)),
               new Colorf(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f), (350.0f) * _scaleFactorUnit, 0);
            Light2 = device.SceneManager.AddLightSceneNode(null, new Vector3Df((100f), (-150f), (-250f)),
             new Colorf(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f), (350.0f) * _scaleFactorUnit, 0);
 
            //////-------Load Camera--------////////////
            cam = device.SceneManager.AddCameraSceneNode(null, new Vector3Df(0, dblRedius * _scaleFactorUnit, 0), new Vector3Df(0, 0, 0), -1);
            cam.Position = new Vector3Df(0, dblRedius * _scaleFactorUnit, 0);
            cam.Target = new Vector3Df(0, 0, 0);
            cam.UpVector = new Vector3Df(0f, 0f, -1f);
        }

Thanks

Hm...
If you disable lighting, I don't know why it could probably be black. It should ignore all the lights then.

I have just download example from http://sourceforge.net/projects/irrlich ... ht%20Lime/

Now, I have run this example (from debug folder (01.HelloWorld.exe) ) with following system configuration
1) 32 bit OS (win 7)
2) Installed- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
3) Installed- .NET Framework 4.0.

But I am getting following error
In cmd : System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'IrrlichtLime.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.

In eventLog (windows Log) ,

Now, I run this example with following system configuration
1) 64 bit OS (win
2) Installed- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
3) Installed- .NET Framework 4.0.
then it is working without error.

Anyone know ,what i doing wrong?
Any dependency is missing?

can you please send me reply if you know?

Thanks in advance

Make sure the files Irrlicht.dll and IrrlichtLime.dll are in one folder with you *.exe.
If not, download and try again.

Does it work in release configuration?

[tatvainfopci33]

Yes, following files are available in debug folder
1)Irrlicht.dll
2)IrrlichtLime.dll
3)IrrlichtLime.ilk
4)IrrlichtLime.pdb
5)IrrlichtLime.xml

But it is working in 64 bit OS.
I have noticed, platform target = 86 in build option (visual studio -> project properties)
If i change platform target from 86 to any CPU then i will get same error in any PC.
Is it possible for problem with OS bit?

Thanks

[Foaly]

Platform x86 is right, it just means 32 bit, x86-64 would be 64 bit.

Do you have installed the right .Net-framework? There are two different versions of 4.0: The full framework and the client profile. Lime needs the full, not the client profile.
Does it at least work when compiled with release configuration (both in the example and using the Irrlicht.dll and IrrlichtLime.dll from the release folder)?
On the 32 bit machine, do you have an IDE and compiler installed? (Sometimes debug builds don't run, if no debug software is installed)

[tatvainfopci33]

Hello Foaly,
I have tested with new OS.(Not installed any software).
Now i have install following software
.net framework from https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/downloa ... x?id=30653
vc++ from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=30679
then i am facing same error .

I thinks, we need to install any other software for this?

[tatvainfopci33]

Thanks Foaly for help
I have found issue.
I have just replace Irrlicht.dll (1.8.0) to Irrlicht.dll (1.9.0 alpha) in debug folder.

other question.
If I install MS VC++ 2013 redistributable (86) then it is not working. But i install MS VC++ 2010 redistributable (86) then it is working.

Do you know why it is not working with latest version ?

[Foaly]

I really have no idea.
I also think it should work.
