Au3Irrlicht 2.0

[kaotkbliss]

There is a whole community for modding the game which is where I found the tools to extract the models. Also Troika, the company that made the game went out of business shortly after making the game back in '05. (which is a shame because a sequal or proffessionally made online game would have been awsome)

Updating my drivers fixed most of my problems but still some examples doesnt work..... I dont think 32bit dlls are problem, I pöay some 32bit games and they work nicely.

on my 64bit system, I have to be sure to right click the script and select run as x86 even though I have the #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N at the top. Also make sure the 4 dlls and includes are in the right spot.

So you will not post out from jail someday, great

About 64bit: so this #directive is only for compiled scripts? If there is no way to automatically set 32bit also for F5ing I could at least add a check into IrrStart ... If you can figure something out about doing this automatically (you are the 64bit man ), pls let me know!

Hi E1M1, it's not a problem with 32bit dll's but with accessing them from 64bit version of au3. So pls try kaotkbliss tip and give some feedback if it works, thanks!

Hi BiliyomKi, unfortunately V2 is not working for me (your script uses '1.ms3d' I do not have). Maybe you can provide a complete package with e.g. \media2 for those files not included in standard \media?

...

1.ms3d is just nothing, you can put anything you want, its empty node(i think )

@linus

1.ms3d shud b the same (or similar) thing like front-back(NODE).3ds

Points = 0

Edges = 0

Faces = 0

Memory = 0 bytes

Size = 42 bytes

anyone can change the script line to use this file or he can create one in some other program and name it '1.ms3d', it don't really matter what they use

front-back(NODE).rar

Hi BiliyomKi & bogQ,

was mainly a remark because posted V2 will not work for others when refering to non-existing ressources. If any mesh can be used, why not

;FOR 'Third Person Shooter' LOOK
$FrontNode = _IrrAddMeshToScene( _IrrGetMesh("../media/wedge.obj"))
$BackNode = _IrrAddMeshToScene( _IrrGetMesh("../media/wedge.obj"))

then everything is working at once.

BTW: much nicer movement in V2 - looking forward to V3

Hi, for an empty scene node you could use

$FrontNode = _IrrAddEmptySceneNode()
$BackNode = _IrrAddEmptySceneNode()

It's not documeted in the v2.04 help file, but the _IrrAddEmptySceneNode function is there and working in the scene include.

(Have updated the svn with header info and help example, so hopefully it'll be in the next release)

Cheers

Edit:Just for kicks here's an example using an empty scene node

#include "au3Irrlicht2.au3"

Global $hSphereNode, $hMD2Node, $hEmptyNode

_IrrStart()

$hSphereNode = _IrrAddSphereSceneNode(8, 32)
_IrrSetNodeMaterialTexture($hSphereNode, _IrrGetTexture(".\media\skydome2.jpg"), 0)
_IrrSetNodeMaterialFlag($hSphereNode, $IRR_EMF_LIGHTING, $IRR_OFF)
$hMD2Node = _IrrAddMeshToScene(_IrrGetMesh(".\media\zumlin.md2"))
_IrrSetNodeMaterialTexture($hMD2Node, _IrrGetTexture(".\media\zumlin.pcx"), 0)
_IrrSetNodeScale($hMD2Node, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
_IrrSetNodePosition($hMD2Node, 11.2, 0, 0)
_IrrSetNodeRotation($hMD2Node, 0, 80, -72)
_IrrPlayNodeMD2Animation($hMD2Node, $IRR_EMAT_RUN)
_IrrSetNodeMaterialFlag($hMD2Node, $IRR_EMF_LIGHTING, $IRR_OFF)

$hEmptyNode = _IrrAddEmptySceneNode()
_IrrAddRotationAnimator($hEmptyNode, 0, 0.6, 0)
_IrrAddChildToParent($hMD2Node, $hEmptyNode)

_IrrAddCamera(0, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0)

While _IrrRunning()
    _IrrBeginScene(0, 100, 200)
    _IrrDrawScene()
    _IrrEndScene()
WEnd

_IrrStop()

I was thinking of using empty scene nodes for bot path finding.. eg: find the nearest empty node and the bot heads to it, while the bot is running to an empty node give him a random choice to look look for another node or continue on to the current node. Rinse lather and repeat... and my bot would be wandering around randomly. For what purpose I have no idea ...lol Edited November 3, 2010 by smashly

Here's a Screenshot of my current work in progress This part is completely functional and saves all choices to an ini. Eventually that will be moved to an online database though.

*edit*

I wish the quality of the pic was better but I can't figure out how to clear up room on my account.

Actually, after posting how I couldn't figure out how to free up some space, I found where I can go back through more than just the last couple posts. However, I still have to dig through them to find attachments and remove them.

Hi, you can use from the Your Profile dropdown top of the page -> My Settings -> Manage Attachments.

There you can see all your attachments, select the checkboxes for the ones you want to remove and hit the Delete Selected button.. 2 secs, walla and done

Cheers

HA! that was easy

@kaotkbliss: any update ?

btw: i have a question, if you end this project, are you publish the codes or just executable ?

I got movement/zooming set (although I'm not sure if the camera will work in tight spaces so I may need to readjust later. But right now I'm working on some maps to run around on.

I think what a lot of games use is a single large 3d model but since autoit is not as powerful as game specific engines, I can set it up in "sections".

[kaotkbliss]

I don't suppose there is anything for maps in the unwritten commands (.map, .dxf, .vmf etc.)? I know there is bsp support, but only for quake3. All the bsp's I have are varriants of HL2 maps so I must convert them (first to vmf, then to dxf) which I can then import into 3ds max and hopefully export to a useful format.

I won't know for a while yet because it takes forever to import 1 dxf into 3ds max

*edit*

yes, they will export fine into 3DS format, so now I need to figure out the best method for texturing individual rooms in a large building, and individual buildings on a city street.

I would think it can be done in irr edit and exporting again into an irr or irrmesh file but so far I'm not too enthusiastic about irredit as they want 100 euro for it and it can't import autocad dxf files like they say it can.

As far as the source, I'm sure it will be getting posted as I run into problems I need help solving

Hy!

First i must say that i realy like the new Irrlicht Engine, It work´s realy fine for me!

But I have found one 'Bug', If you use:

'$_ImageSize = _IrrGetTextureInformation(_IrrGetTexture(@scriptdir & "\Image.bmp"))'

Then '$_ImageSize[0]' returns a false width. I now use that:

'$_ImageSize = _IrrGetImageInformation(_IrrGetImage(@scriptdir & "\Image.bmp"))'

this give´s the correct width back.

Also I must say that i try to Convert fonts with the 'FontTool' from the 'bin' dir, but they dont´t work...

Sorry for my bad english;)

Greets from Techmix!

[bogQ]

To me they return identical data on var [0] & [1] i tested it on 3 diffrent pictures with diffrent formats with no problem

'FontTool'

This 'FontTool' is working correctly if the one you have is dmged.

bin dir?!! you mean normal fonts that you have instaled in you windows?

[Techmix]

Thanks for Link!

But I tryed so often with '_IrrGetTextureInformation' with png, bmp and jpg (also different Pics); always the same problem... With '_IrrGetImageInformation' there are no problems...

Greets

[Edit]

...no at the GoogleCode site there is the FontTool somewhere available; You can take a look at this it´s in the 'Irrlicht\bin\' dir.

[bogQ]

Maby you can replicate problem for IrrGetTextureInformation, upload script and picture that your use so that we can replicate that error pls

Edited November 15, 2010 by bogQ

[Techmix]

OK, i make a Pic from the 'Problem'
