Au3Irrlicht 2.0

Dlls are 32bit. That means you have to run 32bit AutoIt when using them.

edit:

It's not very nice to delete posts the way you did. Then I have to do what I did now.

Sorry for that trancexx,

i have not view your answer and i have find where the problem. now it work.

I have another problem now...

I have to use GUI function but the parameter $i_ID is not very clear.

for example

_IrrAddListBox($i_Horizontal, $i_TopX, $i_TopY, $i_BottomX, $i_BottomY, $i_ID, $i_Background, $h_Parent)

i know i have to put some id for my control like "MY_LIST_BOX" but how ?

if i put that with quotes like this "MY_LIST_BOX" autoit crash. if i put a variable AutoIT doesn't crash but nothing append.

So how can i use this parameter.

Thank's

Check out the reference.htm page in the document folder. I'll put docs online this weekend.

id specifies a unique numerical reference for the listbox so events can be identified as coming from this object

The variables you see are done per the AutoIt UDF standard. $i_ prefacing a variable means that it's an integer. $s_ means a string. $h_ means a handle (or pointer in this case.)

_IrrAddListBox(100, 10, 10, 60, 60, [u][b]42[/b][/u], 0, 0)

Something like that would set the ID of the object as 42. The ID would be used to detect events.

Try converting the .bas _Examples in order to see how they're supposed to be used, and modify those examples until you've got a handle on how things work. I'll eventually have them all converted and available for reference, but for now, it's best not to experiment. Those features which haven't been demoed yet are subject to radical change, and even the ones who have been demoed might get a total overhaul.

In 2-3 weeks we'll have a stable release with most if not all the functionality demoed and documented. Sorry for the inconvenience

Hi Jrowe,

I have read example GUI but one parameter is not used in FB source the "$i_Horizontal"

but i think that i will wait docs ;-)

anyway, excellent work.

Perfect!

Ok guys got a bug for you. At the _IrrAddListBox function there is one extra parameter. It's the firast one. There is no horisontal/vertical scroll. So here is the new fixed function:

Func _IrrAddListBox($i_TopX, $i_TopY, $i_BottomX, $i_BottomY, $i_ID, $i_Background, $h_Parent)
    $result = DllCall($_irrDll, "ptr:cdecl", "IrrAddListBox", "int", $i_TopX, "int", $i_TopY, "int", $i_BottomX, "int", $i_BottomY, "int", $i_ID, "int", $i_Background, "ptr", $h_Parent)
    Return $result[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_IrrAddListBox

EDIT: Ok i found an other one. It's about the _IrrAddEditBox. There is no horizontal parameter, but there is a parameter that i don't know what it does. So here is the fix.

Func _IrrAddEditBox($s_Text, $i_TopX, $i_TopY, $i_BottomX, $i_BottomY, $i_Unknown, $i_ID, $i_Border, $i_Password, $h_Parent)
    $result = DllCall($_irrDll, "ptr:cdecl", "IrrAddEditBox", "wstr", $s_Text, "int", $i_TopX, "int", $i_TopY, "int", $i_BottomX, "int", $i_BottomY, "int", $i_Unknown, "int", $i_Border, "int", $i_Password, "ptr", $h_Parent)
    Return $result[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_IrrAddEditBox

EDIT: Back again. The _IrrAddButton function had one less parameter. Here is the fix.

Func _IrrAddButton($i_TopX, $i_TopY, $i_BottomX, $i_BottomY, $i_ID, $s_Text, $s_Tip, $h_Parent)
    $result = DllCall($_irrDll, "ptr:cdecl", "IrrAddButton", "int", $i_TopX, "int", $i_TopY, "int", $i_BottomX, "int", $i_BottomY, "int", $i_ID, "wstr", $s_Text, "wstr", $s_Tip, "ptr", $h_Parent)
    Return $result[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_IrrAddButton

Replace the old functions with the new ones.

I will be back with some more fixes if i find them.

EDIT: Ok i replaced str with wstr and it's working fine. So i presume that in all the GUI function you should replace the str with the wstr, i'm not posting here all the function that need the replacement.

I have been experimenting with the zip archives example. I tried this:

$file = FileOpenDialog("thing","","DAE (*.dae)" )
#include "au3Irrlicht2.au3"
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_exit")
Func _exit()
_IrrStop()
Exit
EndFunc
_IrrStart($IRR_EDT_OPENGL, 800, 400, $IRR_BITS_PER_PIXEL_32, $IRR_WINDOWED, $IRR_NO_SHADOWS, $IRR_IGNORE_EVENTS)
_IrrSetWindowCaption("Example 05: BSP Map")
_IrrAddZipFile("./media/map-20kdm2.pk3", $IRR_IGNORE_CASE, $IRR_IGNORE_PATHS)
;~ $BSPMesh = _IrrGetMesh("20kdm2.bsp")
$BSPMesh = _IrrGetMesh($file)
$BSPNode = _IrrAddMeshToSceneAsOcttree($BSPMesh)
$Camera = _IrrAddFPSCamera()
$CameraNode = $Camera
_IrrSetNodePosition($CameraNode, 1750, 149, 1369)
_IrrSetNodeRotation($CameraNode, 4, -461.63, 0)
_IrrHideMouse()

WHILE _IrrRunning()
    _IrrBeginScene(240, 255, 255)
    _IrrDrawScene()
    _IrrEndScene()
WENDD

But it didn't work. I am trying to open a .dae file with. How do i do this? Where do i look for help with this? I looked up IrrGetMesh in the Irr wiki but got nothing.

[shadowhacker]

Well as i see there you don't really understand the way zip archives work, or you don't understand what kind of loading metod to use for models.

You use zip archives only when you want to load a 3D model or map from a pk3 archive or a zip archive. And the code looks like this:

_IrrAddZipFile("./media/map-20kdm2.pk3", $IRR_IGNORE_CASE, $IRR_IGNORE_PATHS) ;<--- the zip archive you need to open that contains the bsp map that you will load in the next command
$BSPMesh = _IrrGetMesh("20kdm2.bsp") ;<--- bsp map file from the zip archive (this is usualy in the map folder in the zip archive)
$BSPNode = _IrrAddMeshToSceneAsOcttree($BSPMesh) ;<--- the command that adds the map to the scene as an octtree so collisions can be made easyer(this cmd it's used only for maps)

If you want to load a 3D model you use th folowing code:

$MD2Mesh = _IrrGetMesh("./media/zumlin.md2") ;<--- the models mesh you want to add to the scene
$MeshTexture = _IrrGetTexture("./media/zumlin.pcx") ;<--- the texture you want to apply to the model in the scene(usualy each model has a texture)
$SceneNode = _IrrAddMeshToScene($MD2Mesh) ;<--- you add the model to the scene
_IrrSetNodeMaterialTexture($SceneNode, $MeshTexture, 0) ;<--- you apply the texture to the model

_IrrAddHillPlaneMesh fix (if im not wrong)

from {"ptr", $h_Material, $f_HillHeight = 0}

to {"ptr", $h_Material, "float", $f_HillHeight}

Func _IrrAddHillPlaneMesh($s_Name, $f_TileSizeX, $f_TileSizeY, $i_TileCountX, $i_TileCountY, $h_Material = 0, $f_HillHeight = 0, $f_CountHillsX = 0, $f_CountHillsY = 0, $f_TextureRepeatCountX = 1, $f_TextureRepeatCountY = 1)

Ok guys, i got a problem here. When using GUI all the text in the GUI like window name, or listbox item, or editbox text, or button text, or button tip text...actualy i think all the text in the GUI has a problem. Some times it doesn't show at all and some times it shows just parts of the text. I looked over the wrapper source and i saw there that the text parameter in the IrrAddWindow function, for example, it's wchar_t type. I think that is a kind of char but i'm not sure. Well in the au3Irrlicht file the DllCall function has a str type before the text parameter. From my logic i think that is wrong, but i can't find a way(or a type) that would work there.

So a little help on that thing would be appreciated. Thanks.

[bogQ]

Post the script that replicate problem, im haveing problems to learn what func do what at the moment so geave some example to try to test it pls

Edit:

Possible problems on...

$result = DllCall($_irrDll, "ptr:cdecl", "IrrAddGrass", "ptr", $h_Terrain, "int", $i_X, "int", $i_Y, "int", $i_PatchSize, $f_FadeDistace, $i_Crossed, "float", $f_GrassScale, "int", $i_MaxDensity, "int", $i_DataPosX, "int", $i_DataPosY, "ptr", $h_HeightMap, "ptr", $h_TextureMap, "ptr", $h_GrassMap, "ptr", $h_GrassTexture)

$result = DllCall($_irrDll, "ptr:cdecl", "IrrAddFlyCircleAnimator", "ptr", $h_Node, "float", $f_CenterX, $f_CenterY, "float", $f_CenterZ, "float", $f_Radius, "float", $f_Speed)

Here you go, this a test GUI. See if for you it shows the text captions from the button, window, listbox items. And i noticed that in the editbox i get a strange value if i don't put any text.

Did not realized that your using edited version until now

Your have str and you need wstr "text as wstring ptr"

EDIT: Global Enum $IRR_GUI_MODAL, $IRR_GUI_NOT_MODAL ;Is needed for _IrrAddWindow shadowhacker fix on func

If its working with wstr for you (i need second opinion i know that its working for me ) pls shadowhacker reedit post up there with fix funcs (dont like to double post the same funcs only becose of "wstr" )

EDIT: Ok i replaced str with wstr and it's working fine. So i presume that in all the GUI function you should replace the str with the wstr, i'm not posting here all the function that need the replacement.

EDIT: Cool, now only jrowe to fix all funcs so that everyone can have identical version

[JRowe]

Yes, there's a whole lot of functions that have incorrect parameters, which are mostly str/wstr differences. The last release was mostly for structure, finetuning will occur as I convert the demos and update the functions to match the dll, instead of the reference documentation, which is how I built the first pass. I have some important goings on today and won't be able to release, and I have some work to do tomorrow, but hopefully I can get an update out tomorrow evening (I'll try to get the big feature demos added in.)

Keep up the debugging and experiments guys, thanks for the help!

[kaotkbliss]

Sweet! I can't wait to mess with this. I've had it downloaded for a couple weeks now but unfortunately I am in my math class at this time (and math is my worst subject) so it's taking much of my time and concentration. Lots of nice additions from the first (skydome, grass etc.) I do hope the colors are better. It could have been incorrect settings on my part (I didn't experiment too much on that yet) I can't remember exactly but I think it had to do with lighting on the node, it was either good looking colors but flat looking node, or greyish dull colors and shadowed node.

This topic has gone without reply for too long

I am having issues getting it to load the textures with my .obj file, I am probably missing something obvious. I have also tried exporting it from sketchup as .dae and as .obj files, all 3 load the mesh without textures. halp?

EDIT

Here is code

#include "au3Irrlicht2.au3"
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_exit")
Func _exit()
_IrrStop()
Exit
EndFunc

_IrrStart($IRR_EDT_OPENGL, 800, 400, $IRR_BITS_PER_PIXEL_32, $IRR_WINDOWED, $IRR_NO_SHADOWS, $IRR_IGNORE_EVENTS)
_IrrSetWindowCaption("Example 05: BSP Map")
$BSPMesh = _IrrGetMesh("./su out/lev5.obj")
$BSPNode = _IrrAddMeshToSceneAsOcttree($BSPMesh)
$Camera = _IrrAddFPSCamera()
$CameraNode = $Camera
_IrrSetNodePosition($CameraNode, 100, 100, 100)
_IrrSetNodeRotation($CameraNode, 0, 60, 60)
_IrrHideMouse()

WHILE _IrrRunning()
    _IrrBeginScene(240, 255, 255)
    _IrrDrawScene()
    _IrrEndScene()
WEND

And here is map file (skp and the obj as exported by sketchup)

su out.zip

You'll need to specify the material in order to apply the textures. Check out the "3D Models - Meshes and Nodes" example earlier in the thread to see the material and texture functions.

[corgano]

so if I apply textures and materials in sketchup, I have to re-apply these to the map after I export it?

EDIT

This made it a light gray instead of black, but i don't exactly get what needs to be done

#include "au3Irrlicht2.au3"
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_exit")
Func _exit()
_IrrStop()
Exit
EndFunc

_IrrStart($IRR_EDT_OPENGL, 800, 400, $IRR_BITS_PER_PIXEL_32, $IRR_WINDOWED, $IRR_NO_SHADOWS, $IRR_IGNORE_EVENTS)
_IrrSetWindowCaption("Example 05: BSP Map")
$BSPMesh = _IrrGetMesh("./su out/lev5.obj")
$MeshTexture = _IrrGetTexture("./su out/lev5.mtl")
$BSPNode = _IrrAddMeshToSceneAsOcttree($BSPMesh)
_IrrSetNodeMaterialTexture($BSPNode, $MeshTexture, 0)
_IrrSetNodeMaterialFlag($BSPNode, $IRR_EMF_LIGHTING, $IRR_OFF)
$Camera = _IrrAddFPSCamera()
$CameraNode = $Camera
_IrrSetNodePosition($CameraNode, 100, 100, 100)
_IrrSetNodeRotation($CameraNode, 0, 60, 60)

I dont know if engine can handle .mtl files as textures.

I dont have any problem aplying jpg file from folder as texture.

You can do it from 3d editing program or from irr command the choice is your, personaly i think its best to aply picture directly from the editing program becose i detecetd (in anim8or) that UV is mesed up (or its not turned on) on object so picture isnt displayed correctly and that is something that irr engine cant correct for you. If i turn UV option on your object texture is displayed correctly.

Hope that you understand this words about UV maping becose english isnt my main language .

[corgano]

I am not quite sure What you are talking about

The materials are applied in sketchup, not quite sure what format to export the model in. I attached a zip file with my sketchup model and the exported .obj a couple posts ago, and if anyone has sketchup and would be willing to help me figure this out i would greatly appreciate this.

[bogQ]

You added

$MeshTexture = _IrrGetTexture("./su out/lev5.mtl")

as your texture

I think that .mlt inst valid texture so try to use .jpg files to put on your 3D objects as texture.

When you say 'The materials' that is some picture or materials with collor, becose on your object file (.obj) i did not seen any texture or material aplyed or added to the object. So that is why its start point is gray. (probably sketchup isnt so good in exporting).

This is only if the picture (.jpg or other irr supported formats) isnt dislpayed correctly on object.

You exported object in .obj with sketchup, so i dont know do the program exported it all cotectly.

Your model (in .obj form) do not have correct UV maping, or no UV maping at all. So you created some model and probably messed up vertexs (or program did that when he exported it) when you created it and engine dont know where what parts to put from picture to object, as the result you get messed up picture on model or no picture at all (this isnt engine bug, its problem on your or program side ). (google the "UV maping" for more info, or heare is one picture to help you http://loupguru.com/store/images/MapExchange.jpg )

Maby its best to try with some other modeling program if sketchup isnt working like it shud.
