I have no clue why you can get stuck in the wall. I tried it myself.
So the next version will have a rail to keep you away from the wall.
The pipes problem I already knew about.
Irrlichts own collision system is very basic, and mainly for testing purposes. I'm using it here becouse I haven't learned enough C++ to add in newton or ode.
Glad you liked it.

Well, its fine for now....when you do move
to a physics lib, move to newton. Its the easyest out
of all of them. ODE is a nightmare for a newbie.

From stuff I've come across over the last months one thing that may be the problem is simply the size of the Polygon used for the wall. It seems that with large faces it's possible to penetrate with a much smaller object ie. An Avatar. The solution would seem to be to create the walls out of smaller stacked Polygon blocks, rather than just one large slab.
So a rail would work, although you'll notice in Blink (using Meqon) that if you stretch the face too far ie. make a cylinder/pipe handrail too long and thin, it suddenly ignores collision settings and you can move straight through.

Just tried the demo myself and I think it's sooo cool! Do continue with it trucker, and keep us posted!

Btw, you should update that little movie in the media folder. We'd like to see DeleD being featured in it of course!

Well I just read Jeroen's post and thought .. Demo ? What Demo ? .. Then I found it. Well done fellah. Love the opening voice, and the mirror .. and especially the Lava. One thing though - the frame rate reads about 5 - 11 frames a second - but it feels alot smoother than that + I couldn't use the Shift or Control keys as the opening instructions suggest ? Is that just here ?

Thanks for the comments.

I did go in after being told of the "sticky situation" and figured out real quick what the cause was.
The dome is made of a really large sphere that has had the center subtracted. I made the dome really too large. I need to rescale the whole world. It's about 4X too big. Irrlicht tho, will just happily use whatever I give it and make it look to scale. (an example, the avatar is 6 deled squares tall)

Yes, i had a brief look on the newton forums. I have never
been able to compile the newton tutorials either, its weird.

Although have you tried just using newton? (as opposed to
the compiling the tutorials)....I use DevCpp for my projects and
newton works fine.

Yeah, the tool kit needs the 'Platform SDK' which is essentially
all of the libs and headers. I have tried Code::blocks before
(with the ms toolkit) but i prefer DevCpp.

I have the sdk. It's just missing headers.
I had merciors tutorial working once, but don't really understand it.
I'm still learning. For this world, Irrlichts own collision works. I just need to do some major code cleanup.

Homeworld is Haunted
(check out the sign on the right)
((btw...it's a lightmapper anamoly))

Well, I don't think I can improve on this world anymore than I have.
It's here if you want to see it.
Now, on to adding a loading bar and networking.
