virtual csPtr<iMaterial> iEngine::CreateBaseMaterial | ( | iTextureWrapper * | txt | ) | [pure virtual] |
Create a base material that can be used to give to the texture manager.
Assign to a csRef.
- Parameters:
-
txt The texture map this material will use. Note that this can be 0 in which case a base material without texture will be created.
- Note:
- You will need to call iMaterialWrapper::Register() and iMaterialWrapper::GetMaterialHandler()->Prepare() on you new material if you load the material after iEngine::Prepare() has been called.
virtual iTextureWrapper* iEngine::CreateBlackTexture | ( | const char * | name, | |
int | w, | |||
int | h, | |||
csColor * | transp, | |||
int | flags | |||
) | [pure virtual] |
Create a black texture.
This is mostly useful for procedural textures.
- Parameters:
-
name The name to use for this texture in the engine w the texture width (must be a power of 2, eg 64, 128, 256, 512...) h the texture height (must be a power of 2, eg 64, 128, 256, 512...) transp pixels in the image with this key color will be considered transparent instead of being drawn flags see CreateTexture()
- See also:
- CreateTexture() note about registering textures.
Create a new camera.
Assign to a csRef.
virtual iCollection* iEngine::CreateCollection | ( | const char * | name | ) | [pure virtual] |
Create a new collection with the given name.
virtual csPtr<iCustomMatrixCamera> iEngine::CreateCustomMatrixCamera | ( | iCamera * | copyFrom = 0 |
) | [pure virtual] |
Create a new custom projection camera.
- Parameters:
-
copyFrom If given, the new camera's initial tranform, settings and projection matrix are copied from that camera.
virtual csPtr<iLight> iEngine::CreateLight | ( | const char * | name, | |
const csVector3 & | pos, | |||

Create a static/pseudo-dynamic light.
Assign to a csRef.
- Parameters:
-
name the engine name for this light (may be 0) pos the position of this light in world coordinates radius the maximum distance at which this light will affect objects color the color of this light (also affects light intensity) dyntype is the type of the light. This can be CS_LIGHT_DYNAMICTYPE_DYNAMIC, CS_LIGHT_DYNAMICTYPE_PSEUDO, or CS_LIGHT_DYNAMICTYPE_STATIC. Note that after creating a light you must add it to a sector by calling sector->GetLights ()->Add (light); If the light is dynamic you also must call Setup() to calculate lighting. Otherwise you must use engine->ForceRelight() if you create a light after calling engine->Prepare(). Otherwise you can let engine->Prepare() do it.
Note! If you are using a system with hardware accelerated lighting (i.e. no lightmaps) then the discussion above is not relevant.

virtual void iEngine::PrecacheDraw | ( | iCollection * | collection = 0 |
) | [pure virtual] |
This function precaches all meshes by calling GetRenderMeshes() on them.
By doing this the level will run smoother if you walk through it because all meshes will have had a chance to update caches and stuff.
- Parameters:
-
collection is an optional collection. If given then only objects in that collection will be precached.
virtual void iEngine::PrecacheMesh | ( | iMeshWrapper * | s | ) | [pure virtual] |
Precache a single mesh.

) | [pure virtual] |
Prepare the engine.
This function must be called after you loaded/created the world and before it is rendered.
Actions include:
- Preparation of all lightmaps for use
- Registering of textures with texture manager and freeing of loaded images (as the texture manager will have created textures from them) The optional progress meter will be used to report progress.
The behaviour regarding cached lighting depends on the flag you can set with the SetLightingCacheMode() function. The default behaviour is to read the lightmap cache when present but don't calculate lighting if cache is not present.
- Parameters:
-
meter If supplied, the meter object will be called back periodically to report the progress of engine preparation.
virtual void iEngine::PrepareMeshes | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Calls UpdateMove for all meshes to initialise bounding boxes.
Prepare() will call this function automatically so you normally don't have to call it.
virtual void iEngine::PrepareTextures | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Prepare the textures.
It will initialise all loaded textures for the texture manager. (Normally you shouldn't call this function directly, because it will be called by Prepare() for you. This function will also prepare all loaded materials after preparing the textures.
virtual void iEngine::RegisterDefaultRenderPriorities | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Register default render priorities.
- See also:
- RegisterRenderPriority for list of default render priorities.
virtual void iEngine::RegisterRenderPriority | ( | const char * | name, | |
uint | priority, | |||
csRenderPrioritySorting | rendsort = CS_RENDPRI_SORT_NONE , |
|||
CS::RenderPriorityGrouping | grouping = CS::rpgByLayer | |||
) | [pure virtual] |
Register a new render priority.
Render priorities are assigned to objects and controls the order in which objects are rendered by the engine.
- Parameters:
-
name a name to refer to this render priority priority a numerical priority; this is used to order the render priorities where lower numbers are rendered before higher numbers. rendsort One of the CS_RENDPRI_... flags. By default this is CS_RENDPRI_SORT_NONE. The following values are possible: - CS_RENDPRI_SORT_NONE: objects in this render priority are not sorted.
- CS_RENDPRI_SORT_FRONT2BACK: sort objects front to back (as seen from camera viewpoint).
- CS_RENDPRI_SORT_BACK2FRONT: sort objects back to front.
- Note:
- The default render priorities are:
- init: 1
- sky: 2
- sky2: 3
- portal: 4
- wall: 5
- wall2: 6
- object: 7
- object2: 8
- transp: 9
- alpha: 10 (uses back2front sorting for meshes)
- final: 11 (in that priority order, where 'init' is rendered first and 'final' is rendered last). Should you wish to add your own render priority, you must call ClearRenderPriorities() and re-add the default render priorities (using RegisterDefaultRenderPriorities()) along with your own new priorities.
Priorities are identified by their number, not their name: If you call RegisterRenderPriority() twice, with the same priority number, but different names, the second call will change the name.
virtual void iEngine::ReloadRenderManager | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Reload the default render manager given the current configuration settings.
virtual void iEngine::RemoveAllCollections | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Remove all the collections.

Remove the collection of the given name.
virtual void iEngine::RemoveCollection | ( | iCollection * | collect | ) | [pure virtual] |
Remove the given collection from the list of collections.
virtual void iEngine::RemoveDelayedRemoves | ( | bool | remove = false |
) | [pure virtual] |

virtual void iEngine::RemoveEngineSectorCallback | ( | iEngineSectorCallback * | cb | ) | [pure virtual] |
Remove a sector callback.
virtual void iEngine::RemoveLight | ( | iLight * | light | ) | [pure virtual] |
Remove a light and update all lightmaps.
This function only works correctly for dynamic or pseudo-dynamic static lights. If you give a normal static light then the light will be removed but lightmaps will not be affected. You can call ForceRelight() to force relighting then.
The current flags set with SetLightingCacheMode() controls if the lightmaps will be cached or not.
- Parameters:
-
light the light to remove
virtual bool iEngine::RemoveObject | ( | iBase * | object | ) | [pure virtual] |
Convenience function to 'remove' a CS object from the engine.
This will not clear the object but it will remove all references to that object that the engine itself keeps. This function works for: iCameraPosition, iLight, iMaterialWrapper, iMeshFactoryWrapper,iMeshWrapper, iSector and iTextureWrapper. Note that the object is only removed if the resulting ref count will become zero. So basically this function only releases the references that the engine holds.
This function returns true if the engine recognized the object as one on which it can operate.
This function will also remove the object from the region it may be in.
virtual void iEngine::ResetWorldSpecificSettings | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Reset a subset of flags/settings (which may differ from one world/map to another) to its defaults.
This currently includes:
- clear z buffer flag
- lightmap cell size
- maximum lightmap size
virtual void iEngine::SetAmbientLight | ( | const csColor & | ) | [pure virtual] |
Set the amount of ambient light.
This has no effect until you recalculate the lightmaps.
virtual void iEngine::SetCacheManager | ( | iCacheManager * | cache_mgr | ) | [pure virtual] |
Set the cache manager that the engine will use.
If this is not done then the engine will use its own cache manager based on VFS. This will do an incref on the given cache manager and a decref on the old one. The engine will release the cache manager at destruction time. To set the cache manager to the default VFS based cache manager for a given VFS directory you can use the following code:
engine->SetVFSCacheManager ("/bla/bla");
virtual void iEngine::SetClearScreen | ( | bool | yesno | ) | [pure virtual] |
Require that the screen is cleared every frame.
The engine itself will not use this setting but will only return the correct flag in GetBeginDrawFlags() so that the screen is actually cleared. Note that this requires that the application actually uses GetBeginDrawFlags() in the call to g3d->BeginDraw() (which it should). By default this flag is false. It is useful to set this flag to true if you have a level that doesn't itself have another way to initialize the screen.
- Parameters:
-
yesno true to clear the screen before each frame, false to leave the screen as-is (which may leave garbage on the screen)
virtual void iEngine::SetClearZBuf | ( | bool | yesno | ) | [pure virtual] |
Require that the Z-buffer is cleared every frame.
The engine itself will not use this setting but will only return the correct flag in GetBeginDrawFlags() so that the Z-buffer is actually cleared. Note that this requires that the application actually uses GetBeginDrawFlags() in the call to g3d->BeginDraw() (which it should). By default this flag is false. It is useful to set this flag to true if you have a level that doesn't itself have another way to initialize the Z-buffer.
- Parameters:
-
yesno true to clear the Z buffer after each frame, false to leave the zbuffer as-is
virtual void iEngine::SetContext | ( | iTextureHandle * | ctxt | ) | [pure virtual] |
Set the drawing context.
This is a texture handle that is used as the procedural texture to render on. If this is 0 then the screen is assumed.
virtual bool iEngine::SetCurrentDefaultRenderloop | ( | iRenderLoop * | loop | ) | [pure virtual] |
Set the current render loop.
- Parameters:
-
loop The loop to be made the current render loop.
- Returns:
- Whether the change was successful (a value of 0 for
will
let the method fail.)
virtual void iEngine::SetDefaultKeepImage | ( | bool | enable | ) | [pure virtual] |
Set the default value for the "keep image" flag of texture wrappers.
virtual void iEngine::SetDefaultNearClipDistance | ( | float | dist | ) | [pure virtual] |

virtual void iEngine::SetSaveableFlag | ( | bool | enable | ) | [pure virtual] |
Set whether saving should be possible (default OFF).
To allow saving of a world after it has been loaded, some objects may need to keep track of extra data that would otherwise not be needed if the world will never be written out again. The 'saveable' flag informs those objects about whether to keep that information or not. Saving a world with this flag disables is still possible, but the result might incomplete.
virtual void iEngine::SetVFSCacheManager | ( | const char * | vfspath = 0 |
) | [pure virtual] |
Set the cache manager to the default VFS based cache manager.
Note that this function will not change the VFS current directory.
- Parameters:

vfspath is the path that will be used for the cache manager. If 0 then the current VFS directory will be used instead.
virtual void iEngine::SyncEngineListsNow | ( | csRef< iThreadedLoader > | loader | ) | [pure virtual] |
Loader List Sync.
iEngine::THREADED_INTERFACE | ( | DeleteAll | ) |
Delete everything in the engine.
iEngine::THREADED_INTERFACE1 | ( | SyncEngineLists | , | |
csRef< iThreadedLoader > | loader | |||

virtual void iEngine::UpdateAdaptiveLODs | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Must be called once per frame if you use adaptive LODs.
virtual void iEngine::UpdateNewFrame | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Update the engine and animations etc for a new frame.
virtual void iEngine::WantToDie | ( | iMeshWrapper * | mesh | ) | [pure virtual] |
Sometimes a mesh wants to destruct itself (for example a particle system that has only limited lifetime).
It can do that by calling this function on itself. The engine will then remove the object before the next frame.
