Unhandled Exception on CreateDevice [SOLVED]

[Avidan84]

Hey guys, im a newb at irrlicht and i am trying to start a whole new project, i am following the hell world tutorial, and it is all set up fine but when i try to run it, it will get to createDevice(); and when it calls that function i get a unhandled exception error.

Code: Select all

device =
	#ifdef _IRR_OSX_PLATFORM_
		// Mac OS X
		createDevice( video::EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(PixelsHorizontal, PixelsVertical), 16, false, false, false, 0);
	#else
		// Windows
		irr::createDevice( irr::video::EDT_SOFTWARE, irr::core::dimension2d<irr::s32>(PixelsHorizontal, PixelsVertical), 16, false, false, false, 0);
	#endif

device is set up as a member variable earlier on, i am pretty sure i have everything set up, libs linked and dll included.
Any ideas?
Please i need help ASAP

i am following the hell world tutorial

Yeah, that's hell on earth ;-)

Any ideas?

Yes. Post more code. Obviously createDevice works for most people as no one could do anything otherwise with the engine. So the problem is most likely not in this line. And as we don't see the rest we will have a hard time helping you otherwise ...

Btw. does the hello world example which is in the examples folder work?

[Avidan84]

Yes i can compile from the examples

Code: Select all

#ifndef IRRLICHT_SETUP_H
#define IRRLICHT_SETUP_H

#include "../Includes/CPPIncludes.h"
#include "../Includes/IrrlichtEngine.h"

namespace Castor
{
	class IrrlichtSetup
	{
	public:
		IrrlichtSetup();
		~IrrlichtSetup();

		// Sets up the initial Irrlicht engine
		int		SetupDevice(int PixelsHorizontal, int PixelsVertical);
		void	SetWindowTitle(std::string windowTitle);


	private:
		irr::IrrlichtDevice *device;
	};
}

#endif

//CPP FILE HERE

#include "IrrlichtSetup.h"

int Castor::IrrlichtSetup::SetupDevice(int PixelsHorizontal, int PixelsVertical)
{
	device =
	#ifdef _IRR_OSX_PLATFORM_
		// Mac OS X
		createDevice( video::EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(PixelsHorizontal, PixelsVertical), 16, false, false, false, 0);
	#else
		// Windows
		irr::createDevice( irr::video::EDT_SOFTWARE, irr::core::dimension2d<irr::s32>(PixelsHorizontal, PixelsVertical), 16, false, false, false, 0);
	#endif

	if (!device)
		{return 1;}
	else
		{return 0;}
}

[/code]

Code: Select all

#include "Includes/IrrlichtEngine.h"
#include "IrrlichtSetup/IrrlichtSetup.h"
#include "Includes/CPPIncludes.h"

int main( )
{
	int screenWidth = 1024;
	int screenHeight = 768;

	Castor::IrrlichtSetup *setup = new Castor::IrrlichtSetup();

	int result = setup->SetupDevice(screenWidth, screenHeight);



	return 0;
}


and in IrrlichtEngine  is

#ifndef IRRLICHT_ENGINE_H
#define IRRLICHT_ENGINE_H

#include <irrlicht.h>

#ifdef _IRR_WINDOWS_
	#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")
	#pragma comment(linker, "/subsystem:windows /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup")
#endif
#endif

Hm, that looks ok. You say you can compile the example, but your code also does compile, you have a crash at runtime, right?

Maybe you accidentally mix Irrlicht versions? Like some old dll which is still in the systems folder?

[Avidan84]

Yeah it was a dll problem, solved now.
Thank you very much and i look forward to using this engine.
