Error when running 2nd tutorial program

[Valkyr]

Hi, I'm a newomer here and I want to get started in 3d programming using IrrLicht.

Anyway, I did the second tutorial on loading a Quake 3 map. I get this error message in the console:
"Could not load texture because mesh could not be loaded: 20kdm2.bsp."

Here is my code:

Code: Select all

//Load Quake3 Map
    device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("C:\Testproj\media\map-20kdm2.pk3");
    
    scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("20kdm2.bsp");
    scene::ISceneNode* node = 0;

Thanks for any help!

Try putting "C:\Testproj\media\map-20kdm2.pk3" into a windows explorer window and make sure that windows can access the file. It might be in the wrong place.

Also you might try using relitieve path names instead of exact ones so that you can move your code from one computer to another without have to recompile.

I just tried this:

Code: Select all

C:/Testproj/media/...

and it worked...

Do you really have to use forward slashes as opposed to any type you want? No biggie, really, but it seems like a weird limitation to me.

Thanks for advice thesmileman!

I could be wrong but I think that you do have to use "/" slashes because on many systems "\" is the exacpe character. Linux and Unix do this.

Oh, ok. Thanks for your help! On to tutorial 3!

If you whant to use backslashes, you have to use the escape sequence for them: "C:\\Testproj\\..."
