Irrlicht Engine

btw, i don't know whether it is a bug or it is a known issue, but this (see below) three simple steps (on pictures) get me to the "report an error to uncle Billy" window...

Here it is:

This worked Perfectly. Here is the code I used for anyone else that might need to use it.

My Handler class:
Public Class CHandler
Implements Irrlicht.IEventReceiver


Public Function OnEvent(ByVal e As Irrlicht.Event) As Boolean Implements Irrlicht.IEventReceiver.OnEvent

''Handle all of the ...

oh ok, I will check out that link. can I email you my project or do you know someplace I can upload it to?

Awesome! this is perfect, I will give it a shot when I get home tomarrow thanks! This should work looking at how you wrote it.

Ok, I checked out the wiki and all it's tutorials are in c++. My bFullscreen boolean also defualts to false. I will post my code when I get home tomarrow and show you what I have. It's pretty much the same as above, but I made some changes because the above wasn't working so I'll post it.

oh, also ...

I checked over there but couldn't find anything. I will check again right now incase I missed it (probably did)

Ta, I deleted all of the existing binaries and overwrote my existing 1.0 .dll's with the 1.1 and then compiled. It compiles ok but when it tries to execute the above line of code for the Irrlicht device the engine bails on me

I tried what you recommended and that did not fix it, I received an unknown error this time. I'm not sure why 1.1 is having this issue and 1.0 does not. I will figure out someway to upload this for you. The ziped file is is 700kb can I email it to you?

I'm using the Irlicht gui controls. I will try using the IEventReciever again. I was messing with it and couldn't fin any documentation on it. Anyone have any simple examples?

Thanks for the info! My code however is really basic. I'm just trying to create a device with 1.1. i 'm not messin with threads yet. I'm still at a lose. Anyone else having similar problems?

Oh ya, I'm usingvb.net

My current code is as follows


Public Sub Show()
Dim Background As Irrlicht.Video.ITexture = RenderingDevice.device.VideoDriver.GetTexture("Background.jpg")
Dim pos As New Position2D


pos.X = RenderingDevice.device.VideoDriver.ScreenSize.Width / 4 * 3
pos.Y = RenderingDevice.device ...

I believe you need to declare a video driver also

Private driver As Irrlicht.Video.IVideoDriver



and then

Try
If device Is Nothing Then
device = New IrrlichtDevice(Irrlicht.Video.DriverType.OPENGL, New Dimension2D(c.Width, c.Height), 32, False, False, False, True, c.Handle)
driver = device ...

I compiled the following line with 1.0

''get the resolution
Dim m_screensize As Dimension2D = getResolution(screenSize)

''Create the rendering Device
device = New IrrlichtDevice(DriverType.DIRECT3D9, m_screensize, 16, bFullScreen, True, True, False, Nothing)
driver = device.VideoDriver

and ...

Thanks for the advice! Okay, if I remove the #include "mnuMain.h" from my RPG.h header and declare the 'device' variable like you said it fixed the problem, but when I add the following line


#include "mnuMain.h"


to my RPH.h I recieve 16 different errors now.

I'm at a complete loss here. I've been running through the examples included with the engine and I've been making changes to them as I needed for my game but when I compile the game I get 23 error messages saying that the 'device' (an IrrlichtDevice declared variable) is an unknown identifier.
