Re: XEffect in Irrlicht (BlitzMax)

greetings smile  yes you would be able to use this library but a little "glue" work would need to be done.  you will need to expose some functions using C/C++ (similar to how the Irrlicht mod is created) in order to be able to use it.  if you are planning on using only a few features of the library this may go pretty quick.  if you are planning on using all of the library this could take several hours.

Ah :-) Thank you for reply wink

I must recompile irrlicht, when I want to use the "extention", or?

Re: XEffect in Irrlicht (BlitzMax)

greetings smile  it wouldnt be in the base Irrlicht mod so you wouldnt need to recompile that.  you would need to either make it into a mod or include the files directly in your project.

some news on this... this library was pretty interesting and felt it may be useful for the Irrlicht mod userbase so i went ahead and built a mod out of it smile  took me a little over 5 hours so not bad!  i will release once i have all the examples converted and running.  probably sometime tomorrow.  i already have the mod completed and the first example converted and running so its definately a go.

Re: XEffect in Irrlicht (BlitzMax)

Hmm...I don't know, but I think there is a bug:

When I'm use settarget or setposition of SShadowLight the light doesn't do anything...
I can fill the parameter with any value, but the light remains constant.

Do you have any idea?


Thank you!

Re: XEffect in Irrlicht (BlitzMax)

it should work as that appears to be how many of the examples operate (see example 1 in the while loop).  do you have sample code?
