Irrlicht Engine

I've cracked it!

Finally got it to compile and run. If you experience this problem in MSVC 7, go into your project configuration properties and select C/C++ then Language. In there is a setting titled 'Treat wchar_t as Built-in Type'... if this is set to Yes, you get the problem. Change it to No ...

I was thinking 3 too, but there are no missing library errors, it just simply cannot seem to find the function inside the library.

The only thing I've got to go on here is that it is looking for the function:
?createDevice@irr@@YAPAVIrrlichtDevice@1@W4EDriverType@video@1@ABV?$dimension2d@H@core@1@I ...

No, made sure that I'm linking in with the latest library, and the receiver I'm using is already a pointer...

Any other ideas?

Simply done with this line:

IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(WIDTH, HEIGHT), 32, false, false, receiver);

I have also tried changing the line to:

IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(WIDTH, HEIGHT), 32, false, false, receiver ...

I have just upgraded the version of Irrlicht I'm using to 0.4.2 and after some minor changes to my code, everything seems to compile. However I am now getting an unresolved external:

"MM error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) class irr::IrrlichtDevice * __cdecl irr ...

Ok this may seem like a dumb question to those who know but I can't find it anywhere.

How do you set the BitMask of a node with the idea of trapping just this node when using getSceneNodeFromRayBB()

Is there any support in the engine for resizing bitmaps. This is to enable them to appear in the same dimensions on every screen res.

A 3ds export from Animation Master cannot be read either, but if that is then loaded into 3d Studio and saved again I believe it does load.

Heres the basics of a third person camera routine I've been playing with that I think is fairly easy to understand:

vector3df fpos = faerieNode->getPosition();
vector3df frot = faerieNode->getRotation();

vector3df opos = fpos;
Camera->setTarget(fpos);
fpos.X -= 50;
fpos.Y += 10;
fpos ...

Its ok.. fixed the problem.. I wasn't putting the texture files in the same directory as the 3ds file (doh!)
