if you ask g-man nicely im shore he will give you a version that will work for v1.12 but i would suggest buying blitzmax any way and even with out the official 3d module g-mans work is realy good and id reconmend it to any one

the easiest way to create primitives i would say is get a free modeling program like wings 3d just click on the standed create primitive then save it as a 3ds and bang you have your primitive.

now for cool effects why not use shaders as irrilicht suports hlsw shaders and the opengl equivelent witch you can pretty mutch do any effect on a model or primitive that you would like creating standed primitivesthrough code is possible but would be easyer if you just loaded the 3ds model you still get all the same control plus you wouldnt get impureatys if you mess up the object creation.

go with blitmax it is far better than blit3d you can use raw opengl as standed or irrilicht u could even use g-mans 3d Impackt mod if you like anything is possible were as blitz3d is now out dated and no were near as flexable

just my opinion

I've checked this out and it's looking kinda cool.

you guys are right, its easier to make a model than program one, I think.
All the primitives I make in blender turn out like crap when loaded innto irrlicht, so I just ripped the one from the perpixel lighting example.

It looks like you can't set the material SColor irr::video::SMaterial::EmissiveColor in the mod like you can in c++ irrlicht, so no joy there(I checked the bmx and .h files).
emissive color is a public in C++,  so can I access it directly with bmx or dsoes that have to be explpicity programed in?

Is the gmod c/c++ source available so I can put the missing goodies in?

I think hlsl may be beyond my meager understanding and abilities.

Im trying to try out BlitzMax Demo and Irrlicht but i keep getting errors like this

Any ideas am i being stupid?

Sorry to drag this from the depths, but I downloaded the BMAX demo (that is v 1.12) and the Irrlicht_BlitzMax_Demo.zip libs yesterday, followed the installation to the tee and still got:

and similar errors for other samples. Am I doing something wrong?

BTW, is there a version of the wrapper for MacOS and linux?

Many thanks in advance! ;-)
