window opening ?

[mfRival]

isn't there any functions for opening window in librw or have to use glfw ? and can we load .obj files?

[aap]

with opengl glfw is what i chose for context creation and so on. there's also code for SDL but that wasn't written by me and i don't know if i ever even tested it.

can i use any library i want , to open window and for input functions ? and do i need external physics library or librw has physics?

• Isn't there any function for opening a window in librw, or do I have to use GLFW?
  • I assume you are asking about how does librw handle backends.
  • Yes, GLFW is available as backend.
  • Check the Skeleton source code (win.cpp, sdl.cpp, glfw.cpp) to see how it works.
• Can we load .obj files?
  • Not directly as .obj. This library is meant to use .dff files, as it resembles GTA mostly.
  • Assume that you would need to write a OBJ parser to actually build what a DFF resembles (Atomic, Clump, Geometry...)
• Can I use any library I want for opening a window and handling input functions?
  • You can create a custom Skeleton implementation with the backend you want.
• Do I need an external physics library, or does librw have built-in physics?
  • You need a physics library. For more context you can try openrw which uses bullet physics.

i guess it's not idle for gamedev ? it is mean to be used with re3 ? i was actually searching for a 3d graphics library in lightest weight possible and eventually found it and thought it would be great to use it as there are no fancy updates or other external craps
