irrlicht 1.3.1 bug

[Dave]

I just downloaded the latest version of Irrlicht (1.3.1) from the website. During the compilation everything went alright.

Now the problem: when I start my program with the new version of the dll (compiled in debug mode), the program breaks at the following line in CSceneManager.cpp. This happens somewhere within the drawAll() function:

Code: Select all

//! Returns the current color of shadows.
video::SColor CSceneManager::getShadowColor() const
{
	return ShadowColor; // <-- has a value but still gives error?
}

This is the error message I get:

Unhandled exception at 0x100fafca (Irrlicht_debug.dll) in Virtualis.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x7d864120.

I have no idea what this means. A possible solution might be to explicitly set the shadow color before rendering anything, so that's what I did. Now I get an even bigger error:

Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention.

The compilation settings for both Irrlicht version 1.3 as 1.3.1 are exactly the same. For some reason only 1.3 works, the other one just crashes on runtime. I use MSVC 2005 on Windows 2000.

Does anyone here have the same problem or might know of a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Recompile your app with the new include files. This is an error due to a change in the class layout. You cannot just replace the dlls.

Oke that was not very smart of me Well, I tried the compilation at the end of the day, so that probably caused my error...
Thanks hybrid!
