http://code.google.com/p/irrcodes/downloads/detail?name=generic_vehicle_scene_node.zip

To compile
==========
Change parameters to point to the proper directories:

main.cpp:

cpp Code: Select all

#define IRRLICHT_DIR "/home/smso/downloads/irrlicht/irrlicht-svn/"

makefile:

cpp Code: Select all

IRRLICHT_DIR = /home/smso/downloads/irrlicht/irrlicht-svn

To start the editor
===================
Run:
./r


Use of the editor
=================
1. Load a body mesh in the scene.
2. Change the body rotation so that it is in the z-direction (as indicated by the blue line).
3. Load a tire mesh.
4. Roughly scale the tires to match with the body.
5. Adjust the tire offsets and tire rotations accordingly.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to refine.
7. Save the params.

Now expanding to multiple vehicle types Will add some tabs at the top for Vessel, Wheeled, Tracked, Rotor Craft, Jet Craft, Rocket. Should have all the bases covered then.

Just what I was thinking about making (I need vehicles) I assume it uses a zlib license?

Same as that of the Irrlicht engine.
I learnt much from 3D programs that come with source codes:)

then it uses a zlib license, sweet

Now I should just dissect this and see how it works ^^

A real car pitches when accelerates or brakes. It also rolls to one side on turning a corner.
To add more realism in controlling the vehicle, new functions are added:

cpp Code: Select all

        void pitchBody(f32 degs);
        void rollBody(f32 degs);
        void rotate(scene::ISceneNode* node, const core::vector3df& rot);
        void resetPitch();
 

After setting up the vehicle, press 'A', 'D' to steer it and it will roll to one side.
Press 'W', 'S' to change speed and the vehicle will pitch accordingly.

Changed files:
main.cpp
vehicle_scene_node.h
vehicle_scene_node.cpp

See the first post for an updated archive file.
