GMan's Mods & Stuff — Irrlicht.iB3D

iB3D checks for escape key and closes window. clueless...

2011-06-06T15:58:49Z

'#Region Initialize 3D Engine
    ib3d_Graphics3D(ScreenWidth, ScreenHeight, ScreenDepth, ScreenMode, True, True, EDT_OPENGL)
    Global ihCamera:CAMERA = ib3d_CreateCamera(Null, CT_NORMAL)
'#End Region

'#Region Load necessary Stuff
    Local ihCube:PRIMITIVE = ib3d_CreateCube()
    Local ihPlane:PLANE = ib3d_CreatePlane(1,1,16,16)
    ihPlane.Move(0,-5,0)
    Local ihLight:LIGHT = ib3d_CreateLight(ihCamera)
'#End Region

'#Region Mainloop
    Local _deg:Float
    Repeat
        ib3d_UpdateWorld()            'Update World Physics
        
        _deg :+ 1
        ihCamera.Position(Cos(_deg)*25,5,Sin(_deg)*25,True)
        ihCamera.Point(ihCube)
        
        ib3d_RenderDrawCmds()
        ib3d_RenderWorld()            'Render the World
'        If ib3d_KeyHit(1)
'            Exit
'        End If
    Forever
'#End Region

The above code snipper results in users being able to close the window with escape, but the code never even reaches the outside of the Repeat-Forever.
How do I fix this?

Is it posible to load a terrain from a heightmap?

A bit confused about iB3D

2008-10-09T05:25:46Z

Hi eveyone.
I've been searching around for a good 3D engine for BlitzMax that was simply to use for a while now and iB3D seems perfect for me.
But... i simply can't understand the philosophy of the engine itself.
Is iB3D a complete port of all the Irrlicht.Core commands to they're Blitz3D equivalent (adding the functions missing), or it is simply a Blitz3D-inspired engine for BlitxMax (so no shaders, no soft shadows etc) like miniB3D?

Thanks.

Howto Blitz3D Irrlicht

2007-08-11T13:03:38Z

Hi there.

The reason I'm interested:

I would like to run blitz3d compiled programs under virtual machines (Ubuntu 7.04 host Win2k guest) which do not support directx.

To do this I will need a software to replace directx 3d.

I have looked for a couple of days but can't find any clear instructions on HOWTO wrap blitz3d for irrlicht.

So:

1) How do I install irrlicht so that it will work with blitz3d?
2) How do I download and set up your wrapper for blitz3d?
3) Are there any examples, or could you show me how to convert this simple program?

;first irrlicht program

Graphics3D 800,600,16,3
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

camera=CreateCamera()

light=CreateLight()
cube=CreateCube()
PositionEntity cube,0,0,5

While Not KeyHit(1)

TurnEntity cube,.1,.2,.3

UpdateWorld
RenderWorld
Text 320,500,"First Blitz3D Program"

Flip

Wend
End

: )

iB3D doesn't work

2007-07-21T02:05:09Z

This is odd: iB3D compiled fine, runs without crashing, but doesn't actually render anything. Regular Irrlicht is working just fine. What do you think the problem is?
