Race Game

[Vikingo]

Hi, I'm new in this community.
I try to use irrlicht engine and I think that it's a very good engine. I have created a simple FPS shooter in few time.
Now I like to create an online multplayer race game.
I have difficult to create camera for a race game.
Can we help me?
I'm programming simple and free functions for online game, when I finish them I give you my results.

Thanks

Bye

I think if you want to create a camera which follow your car you must create a node with car and a child node for your camera.

For online multiplayer, you will need a library like [url=http://www.rakkarsoft.com/[/url]Raknet.

My network library will be free and open source.
About Camera I'm resolving with tests...

Hi Vikingo,

Welcome to Irrlicht I think you'll get along nicely with our friendly staff members oops I mean community members.

Raknet will work for networking but we would love it if you released another networking library. as for the camera there should be enough discussion about the forums to easily solve your issue have a look around and be sure to review the source, API, and open source projects.

Hope you have a good day now.

Thanks Midnight for welcome.
About my project I have just realized a new control camera, like wipeout 2097 using trigonometric function...
About networking library, now I have realized two function to send and receive rotation and position, so this library will be exclusively for irrlicht engine.

A question about Text
a need show speed but text is to small

gui::IGUIFont* font =device->getGUIEnvironment()->getFont("data/fontcourier.bmp");

core::stringw speed_text=L"SPEED: ";
speed_text+=speed;
if (font)
font->draw(speed_text.c_str(), core::rect<s32> (500,300,500,500),video::SColor(0,255,0,255));


How can I set font size to 72 for example.

Thanks
