I don't understand how specular mapping works.

It is used to determinate how much shiny a surface is (by reflecting light).

The RMesh importer was much easier to implement than I thought it would be: I just need to add support for its most important features (invisible collision surfaces, lights specified by the files, translucent textures) and I'll upload a new demo.

Wow, its looking fantastic! How long do you think it will take until you have all the essentials for a properly playable game, minus all the extras?

You do realize that when this happens all self control I have regarding my C++ OCD will be thrown out the window right?

I'll throw it out right now: https://github.com/juanjpro/SCPCBIrrlicht
I'm probably doing something weird, GitHub is new to me.

Here's another compiled demo for you guys to play with: https://www.mediafire.com/?dhir5c0c154s2qe

Invisible collision surfaces aren't implemented yet because it's easy to do. I had to ditch Irrlicht's fixed-function lights because light managers don't work properly with shaders. Spotlights also don't work, but they're barely used by the game so it's not high priority stuff.

OpenAL32.dll missing

I think a sticky is in order, seeing as this is the only engine port that has produced results that can be seen by the general forum user (an executable).

Rename soft_oal.dll to OpenAL32.dll and see if that works.

Yup, it works now
