Detailed Description

Class which is able to load a static/animated mesh from a file.

If you want Irrlicht be able to load meshes of currently unsupported file formats (e.g. .cob), then implement this and add your new Meshloader with ISceneManager::addExternalMeshLoader() to the engine.

◆ createMesh()

virtual std::shared_ptr<IMesh> saga::scene::IMeshLoader::createMesh	(	void *	data,
		const std::size_t	size,
		const std::string &	extension
	)

pure virtual

Loads a mesh from the file.

Parameters

data	Pointer to mesh file in memory to read.
size	Size of mesh file.

Returns: Pointer to the created mesh. Returns nullptr if loading failed.

◆ isSupportedExtension()

virtual bool saga::scene::IMeshLoader::isSupportedExtension ( const std::string & filename ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if the file might be loaded by this class.

This decision should be based on the file extension (e.g. ".cob") only.
