Hi Gman,

Back with a couple of Mac Os questions
Do you always create your mods around official Irrlicht releases? or are SVN versions supported? I'm getting this error now:
"The Irrlicht library version 1.5.1-SVN does not match the mod version 1.5"
Should I use the official 1.5 instead?

regards,
Alvaro

Hi Gman, long time.
Thanks for the audio-modules explanation. I finally made up my mind and purchased blitzmax so I'll start checking some of its examples to see how things work natively and then try to incorporate some of the stuff into Irrlicht. I also ran into an Irrklang wrapper for blitzmax somewhere so I might also be checking it.
I was wondering if you ever completed adjusting the rest of the 1.5 examples? I want to check some camera clipping issues, skyboxes, etc. Let me know if you find the time to check them, or can I use the older examples as reference for this? I don't think things've changed that drastically between version 1.3 (latest full examples available) and 1.5

regards,
Alvaro

BMAX has 2 built-in audio modules. free audio which is written by BRL and an OpenAL module. there is an OpenAL3d module using the OpenAL module. free audio can simulate using depth and pan effects. there are also numerous other modules available (found on the BMAX forums). one is BASS, there is also a maxmod module although im not sure what the sound system is underneath.

as for an example, check out the code in the BMAX help docs for the SetChannelDepth() function. using depth, pan, volume and the position of the active camera, you can write an animator that will handle 3d-like sound.

Using Bmax's audio module... cool!
Do you have, or could you be so kind to create, an example in which you mix them both? (Irrlicht wrapped code+ bmax's audio loading).
What library does bmax use for audio? Would it support positional 3d audio of nodes placed in irrlicht?

questions, questions!

regards,
Alvaro

Gman, forgot to ask. Any plans on integrating Irrklang for audio?

You nailed it! The option to compile as console in Blide is not among the compiler's options but in the "Publish settings". Now everything is running perfectly, no code changes needed in the examples! Awesome!

cheers,
Alvaro

PS. One last question, in examples that load animated meshes like Sidney or the fairies, why are their animations playing so extremely fast compared to their speed in normal Irrlicht?

Re: Irrlicht 1.5 examples?

null@example.com (afecelis) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 23:27:43 +0000

yup, I noticed that, it is indeed extremely cool!
You' right, I just noticed all examples are being compiled as win32 apps and not console apps! Cool! I'll try again and find the option to compile console applications.

cheers,

Alvaro

you are very welcome im still thinking the driver selection issue is related to the compile mode setting in the IDE. ive never used blideplus so im not sure where to change the setting at. the setting needs to be changed so the compile is in console mode (as opposed to GUI mode) since the driver selection appears in the console similar to the C++ examples.

one really cool thing you will hopefully see is the near 1-to-1 conversion between the C++ and BMAX versions.

Excellent! thanks a lot! I still had to remove the driver selection code from the beginning. If I leave it in, the example compiles fine but nothing runs. Using only 1 driver (opengl/DX) fixes it for all of the examples except for example "10.shaders", in which the shader language file has to do with the driver chosen, so it's a bit harder for me to fix with a single render driver

But all the others that were crashing before, even with a specific driver assigned, are now running fine and fast as hell!

thanks for all the help.

awwwh! great! Thanks Gman. I'm downloading both the new mod and the examples right ahead. Great work! you move fast! Looking forward to the full set of examples to try them out.

Regards, and thanks
