Catmother -

Am I the only one who chuckled when reading that name?

Won't Support Irrlicht??? Thalius say it ain't so...

How does one use these things?

For example, if I eanted to use the doom II engine and play a few levels in it, where do I go for the information on how to set it up?

Personally I had hopes that PB could integrate the Sauerbraten / Cube2 engine!!!



My big problem with Ogre and GNUpl is that they insist you release your OWN source code as well

Or you can pay OGRE for a license:

OUL
Some users may wish to obtain an alternative license to the default LGPL. Reasons might include:

You wish to alter the OGRE core without releasing those changes publicly

You wish to link OGRE statically with your own code, but don't want to release your own source or object code

Booooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought that only applied if you modified the Ogre source? Or would it apply to anything written in PureBasic that uses Ogre? I can hardly imagine Alpha would choose such an engine then...

PureBasic uses OGRE as a DLL, so OGRE is not linked statically (like most of the normal libraries) but dynamically.

Ahhh thank you hardFalcon. That makes me worry less... now if I could only use other model types than .mesh I would really be happy!

Pretty comprehensive list!

Thanks.

NP on the list... Just thought a few alternatives were worth looking at.

I like Cube2, but I think that most of the eye candy is provided by DX9+ and not the engine itself. Maybe. I turned off all the goodies andthe models and maps looked like quake2...

Otherwise...

On the ogre forums I have found a tool that lets me convert .3ds to .mesh... Will let you know how it works

Have also upgraded Ultimate Unwrap 3D to latest version... .mesh exporter looks like it works fine.

I am gonna play with the 3D libs tomorrow and see if anything shows up.

I hope my euler angles feed into PB as well as they did BB3D...

as to the Doom issue, I love ZDoom as it supports most all iwads (game maps). Just do a search to download ZDoom and install. Next you will need to locate all the IWADs you wish to play. That can be hard. ZDoom (zdoom-2.3.1.zip) supports:

DOOM1.WAD
HERETIC1.WAD
HEXEN.WAD

and if you search for FreeDoom (freedoom-iwad-latest.zip) you can get a "free custom version" of DOOM2.WAD.
I have been playing the shareware versions with the exception of DOOM2.WAD which is a "fan" made custom doom file.
You can also find links to level editors and other fun things.
