We generally use int value = int(rand() / (RAND_MAX+1.0) * count); when we need a random number in [0,count), which should give a correct 'unbiased' result (in as much as rand itself is unbiased). Should, but doesn't ;) Here is why: The result from this formula is always skewed unless RAND_MAX is a...

Hi, I took a quick look at your code and grepped for the usage of rand() and want to give you some insight that I gained recently on my work in the Cockatrice project, which is another opensource game for Win/Linux/BSD/Mac. 1. The standard rand() implementation is not state of the art, which means i...

http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=29842 might help, it is a video player class for ogre3d (I don't know about sound, I did not see audio variables in the code). The download link is in the very last posting of this thread (http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/download/file.php?id=2223) N...

this is odd, the forum did not post my reply and it is not in the browser anymore :-( Short version: Linux graphic drivers use the OpenGL implementation Mesa, which will support OpenGL 3.0 in the pending release 9.0 (but only for intel, not ati and nouveau aka nvidia) which will be enough to play Le...

Newer is not always better, unless you want OpenMW look like Assassin's Creed 3 or whatever new game. Here is why: Many people use opensource graphics drivers for intel, ati and nvidia (nouveau) on Linux; they are the default drivers on almost every distribution I think, and the proprietary blobs fr...

err yes, I meant that. I corrected my previous post, I did not see that my text could be misleading

Hi, I quickly grepped through the codebase and found several places where you use lists from the STL. It is generally a good idea to use standard containers, but maybe you are interested in this: I found this article ( part1 , part2 ) where a Starcraft developer writes about the early development an...

Hi, I checked out the code from git but cannot compile it anymore:

~/opt/openmw/components/nifogre/ogre_nif_loader.cpp:44:41: fatal error: extern/shiny/Main/Factory.hpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

How can this be fixed?

Maybe it is a bug in MyGUI and not OpenMW, but I am unable to write characters, that can be used as accent characters. My systemwide charset is utf-8 and for input I use us-intl with accent layout. If I want to type e.g. quotation marks, I need to type " and <blank>. This is needed to type inte...

Some time ago I bought the german version of Morrowind+addons. I then found out that I was unable to apply mods to this version because all strings for items etc have been localized too (I seriously don't know why the company did this, this is dumb and sad at once). I would like to know if OpenMW ha...
