.irr scene not loading properly

[aburt11]

hey guys im trying to load a .irr scene project that i created but when i do it only shows the inbuit spreites for the trees and nothign else.
the output in the window says the mesh and textures couldnt be loaded. so how can i make the load paths relative?


also, is the .irr scene actually worth using or are there better formats which will save textures and mesh easily e.g.( one file for textures, one file for mesh)

You can open the irr file with an XML editor and edit the paths by hand.

still doesnt work, as you can see, the mesh couldn't be loaded? any other formats and level editors that are any good. or should i roll my own?

Sorry, not much experience with irrEdit - generally you can get probably get better answers about irrEdit in their own forum (on ambiera.com).
And well, as you asked - so far I tended to use own editors in my projects. I hate not having the rights to modify the source in my projects for such an important part of a project (that's why I use an opensource engine after all...). But you can also look around the forum (projects section) - there's a few people out there who have started/wrote editors and maybe one of them is useful for you.

CopperCube Automatically exports the meshes to the .irr files folder/'name'_meshes (Coppercube is irrEdit)

In coppercube, move all the textures (Including the prehab's textures) to the folder you want it, and re link (using the texture panel, import the texture and link with material tab)

Make sure you set the right run dir in export - 'working directory'

Irr is more efficent on loading than models, because it is just a format for storing scene node data

the paths are incorrect which is why your application is not able to find the assets. try not to use relative path ( ../../../ ) if possible.

There are two possibilities:

- the execution dir of your application is wrong (at least Code::Blocks sets the execution path to the Irrlicht path)
- the working dir in Irredit is set to a wrong path, so that the creation of the relative paths can not work correctly
