New update!

See "lights.au3" example.

Great, looks really nice with lights and skybox, what's gonna come next??

Maybe this: holding thumbs really hard muttley

Really like the new lights A.Percy, keep it up!

[Dellairion]

Nice muttley.

I like this alot exept that i got stuck in a latarn in the "Pk3Test.au3" test when pressing "j".

And i also have no sound.

I can see that this uses .bsp files that are inside the pk3 file?

Can this support bsp files from half-life?

Anyway this looks promising!

It doesn't have sounds yet. muttley

Rename as zip file and open it!

Can this support bsp files from half-life?

No...

Anyway this looks promising!

Thank you!

After my holidays I'll try muttley

New update. See "EmbedIrrlicht.au3"

Back from vacation, time to work again. Any comment?

[JRowe]

Wow. I'm very impressed, the sea demo rocks! You might want to set the ESC exit hotkey, but other than that, no complaints here!

Why can't I run the scripts unless they're compiled?

[JRowe]

I noticed that the embedded version would pause scene updates as you dragged the window around. I'll post an updated example using picassos CoProc as a means of separating the rendering from the input

How would I fix the flicker of any GUI elements placed on top of a scene? Check out the darth vader tooltip to see what i mean.

[JRowe]

At any rate, the coproc or something similar is the only way we're gonna get any sort of framerate control, and separating the rendering from the rest is probably a good idea anyway.

Refreshing myself with the coproc stuff, this is neat

[JRowe]

Here we go: Embedded, bareboned example of (pseudo)multithreaded au3irrlicht. Very rough, but it should work. Drag your window around the screen and the scene still updates

CODE

#NoTrayIcon

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include "coproc.au3"

#region GUI Process

$CoProc1Process = _CoProc ("CoProc1")

AutoItSetOption( "TrayIconHide", 1 )

Opt( "WinTitleMatchMode", 3 )

$gui = GUICreate( "Autoit Irrlicht", 450, 260 )

$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel( "", 340, 10, 100 )

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton( "Change Rotation", 340, 50, 100, 20 )

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg( )

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE then

ExitLoop

EndIf

WEnd

ProcessClose($CoProc1Process)

Exit

Func CoProc1()

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include "IrrlichtPluginUtils.au3"

$gui2 = WinGetHandle("Autoit Irrlicht")

CreateDeviceOnWindow( $gui2, $EDT_OPENGL, 10, 10, 320, 240, 32, 0, 0 );

GUISetState( @SW_SHOW )

$Camera = AddCameraSceneNode( 0, 0, 20, -40, 0, 0, 0 )

$Node = AddCubeSceneNode( 20 )

$Au3Texture = GetTexture( "data\au3.bmp" )

SetMaterialTexture( $Node, 0, $Au3Texture )

SetMaterialFlag( $Node, $EMF_LIGHTING, 0 )

$Y = 0

$Direction = 2

BeginScene( true, true, 255, 50, 50, 100 )

While IrrRun( )

SetRotation( $Node, 0, $Y, 0 )

;GUICtrlSetData( $label, GetRotation( $Node, "Y" ) )

BeginScene( true, true, 255, 50, 50, 100 )

SceneDraw( )

GuiDraw( )

EndScene( )

sleep(1)

$Y += $Direction

If $Y > 360 Then $Y -= 360

If $Y < 0 Then $Y += 360

Wend

EndFunc

Sorry, I forgot the link to the coproc files you'll need to get this to work.

Next up, combining the whole shebang with the png as gui background

Well, the CoProc setup seems to be complicating things too much for simple use. It's only able to read mouse movement. Hotkeys, ControlSend, and other functions are made excessively complicated by the CoProc system, so I'm going to try something different. I could get the camera to move, but in order to control the movement, I'd have to add a list of global variables for every interaction with the engine, which would create a mess. There's gotta be a better method to keep it rendering while the window is in motion (and while other events are happening.)

Timers?

[JRowe]

Timers wouldn't work, because the entire application is paused by dragging the window.

[A. Percy]

Interesting!

One thing: remove the first #include "IrrlichtPluginUtils.au3".

[JRowe]

Removed it

I'm gonna explore some of the other "fake" multithreading techniques and see what happens. I've been plugging in the terrain demo in order to figure out how to distribute input, and the only way I've been able to get things to work is to use animators and superGlobals (a coProc construct to pass simple messages between processes.) The problem with that is calculating orientation and moveTo vectors. Maybe I should use the raw machine code udf...

Anyway, nice work A.Percy!

This looks like a lot of fun. I didn't see AddSphereSceneNode() but seems to be a function in some of the other examples on their site. Are these just a subset of the functions or am I missing something?

There are still many functions to "re-implement", but I will provide AddSphereSceneNode soon.

Olá a todos!

New version at:

Before any comment: It have a bug on input of FPS camera when using SceneDraw with SetViewPort or SetRenderTarget. Will be fixed when I implement a more stable event redirector. For while, you can try use SetCameraAsKeyEventReceiver( $Camera ), but it's very unstable yet
