problem when using DirectX instead of software

Post by Newman Allen »

Hi,
I am new to game programming. Please help.
I changed this line:
createDevice(EDT_SOFTWARE, ......
to:
createDevice(EDT_DIRECTX9, ......
I see this message: "DirectX driver was not complied into this dll. Try OpenGL...."
Why?
I tried EDT_DIRECTX8 and EDT_DIRECTX9 and EDT_OPENGL, only OPENGL works.
:roll:

read this thread. It may help. http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=1700 Or at least it helped me. And also make sure you have the directx9 dev pack from the link provided in http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=1932 or doing the update dev c++ tool and download the directx9 dev pack. Hopefully that helps you out.
