[no bug]problems with CreateDeviceEx

[NioZero]

I don't know if this is really a bug or not but to make sure i have isolated the code and the error still remain...

i have updated irrlicht library to 1.7.1, but i have a problem with the CreateDeviceEx function... in the previous version (1.6) works perfectly, but now doesn't create the device and returns always NULL, even with the default values of SIrrlichtCreationParameters.

this is the code...

Code: Select all

irr::IrrlichtDevice* VideoDevice;
irr::SIrrlichtCreationParameters deviceConfig;

// this always returns me NULL
VideoDevice = irr::createDeviceEx( deviceConfig );

if( VideoDevice ){

	printf("It works\n");
}

i have rechecked this error changing versions and with 1.6 it prints "it works" message, but with the 1.7.1 the error still remain (in the changes.txt I found no mention about createDeviceEx)

no problem here...
what does the console tell you ???

createDeviceEx still works, so maybe it's a problem from updating? Check if you include the right headers (you might still have set old header-paths set in the IDE), check if you link with the correct library (same goes for library paths) and be careful that the correct Irrlicht.dll is used. Also check if you get any console errors.

Try to run the provided binaries. They should work out of the box.

don't worry ... I decided to delete all files from version 1.6, clean the project completely (manually deleting the files), I upgraded to 1.7, compiled the project again and it worked ...

possibly in the project must have been some temporary file that was causing problems ...

I suppose you can close now this topic ...
