a few instructions...

for installing the mod:

extract the mod distribution zip file into your mod folder under blitzmax.  this should create an irrlicht.mod folder under your mod folder and then the core.mod folder under that.

for installing the lib and dll files:

from the mod distribution:

copy BMAX\mod\irrlicht.mod\lib\win\Irrlicht.dll to your windows\system32 folder
copy BMAX\mod\irrlicht.mod\lib\win\D3DX81ab.dll to your windows\system32 folder

you can download the Irrlicht v1.3 MingW DX9/DX8 build at:

IrrDX_v1_3 MingW .a and .DLL files

copy libIrrlicht.a to your BMAX\mod\irrlicht.mod\core.mod folder
copy Irrlicht.dll to your windows\system32 folder
copy D3DX81ab.dll to your windows\system32 folder

if you download the Irrlicht distro then:

copy lib\Win32-gcc\libIrrlicht.a to your BMAX\mod\irrlicht.mod\core.mod folder
copy bin\Win32-gcc\Irrlicht.dll to your windows\system32 folder

for other OS:

for Linux download:  http://www.gprogs.com/irrlicht.mod/libI … n_v1_3.zip

for Mac download:  http://www.gprogs.com/irrlicht.mod/libI … c_v1_3.zip

again a big thank you to Jonas!  special note from Jonas on this "In addition to run properly on Mac Irrlicht needs the "MainMenu.nib" file in the Resources folder of the application bundle. "

i know the folder hes talking about from the main Irrlicht distribution.  im not sure where to place it though.  i think its in the same place as your main BMX file.  as soon as i know for sure ill update here.  for now you can download it at:  http://www.gprogs.com/irrlicht.mod/MainMenu.nib.zip

after extraction, copy the .a file into the core.mod folder and rebuild the mod.
