problem loading tutorial 2 bsp

[gitrinec]

I am having a problem I keep getting an error message when loading my file error is could not load mesh because file could not be opened 20kdm2.bsp

thanks

Same thing with me! And I didn't get an answer yet.

[gitrinec]

maybe its our setup maybe its similiar I have tried every type of directory for it and it still tells me that it cant load the bsp and the window just stays grey tells me fps.

Do you have the lastest direct x drivers?

Maybe you two should compare systems it could be a graphics card problem or something else hardware related.

Are you having problems with any of the other tutorials?

what version of Irrlicht are you using? is it the correct .DLL?

information is key boys provide more information and you'll give the rest of us more opertunity to help.

it's like taking a car to the mechanic if it doesn't fail for the mechanic and it's not a typical problem then all they can do is guess.

[Robomaniac]

Sounds like its your directory structure.

Im using the latest ati radeon driver i have a ati radeon 9000 ii pro, directx 9.0c installed I noticed that when I tried anything but opengl in the options it wouldnt even give me the grey window the only version i have is the 7.0 version also when trying to load directx9.0 i get a driver was not compiled into this dll. try opengl. Error: could not load built-in Font. here is the code

#include <irrlicht.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace irr;

#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")

int main()
{

// ask user for driver

video::E_DRIVER_TYPE driverType = video::EDT_DIRECTX9;
printf("Please select the driver you want for this example:\n"\
" (a) Direct3D 9.0c\n (b) Direct3D 8.1\n (c) OpenGL 1.2\n"\
" (d) Software Renderer\n (e) NullDevice\n (otherKey) exit\n\n");

char i;
std::cin >> i;
switch(i)
{
case 'a': driverType = video::EDT_DIRECTX9; break;
case 'b': driverType = video::EDT_DIRECTX8; break;
case 'c': driverType = video::EDT_OPENGL; break;
case 'd': driverType = video::EDT_SOFTWARE; break;
case 'e': driverType = video::EDT_NULL; break;
default: return 1;
}
// create device and exit if creation failed
IrrlichtDevice *device =
createDevice(driverType, core::dimension2d<s32>(640, 480));
if (device == 0)
return 1;

video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
scene::ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();

device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("../media/20kdm2.pk3");

scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("20kdm2.bsp");
scene::ISceneNode* node = 0;

if (mesh)
node = smgr->addOctTreeSceneNode(mesh->getMesh(0));

if (node)
node->setPosition(core::vector3df(-1300,-144,-1249));

smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS();

device->getCursorControl()->setVisible(false);

int lastFPS = -1;

while(device->run())
{
driver->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(0,200,200,200));
smgr->drawAll();
driver->endScene();

int fps = driver->getFPS();
if (lastFPS != fps)
{
core::stringw str = L"Irrlicht Engine - Vertex and pixel shader example [";
str += driver->getName();
str += "] FPS:";
str += fps;
device->setWindowCaption(str.c_str());
lastFPS = fps;
}
}

device->drop();
return 0;
}

I don't think problem is in our directory structure, because we both succesfuly loaded *.pk file, and as I understand pk3 is compressed file that contains *.bsp files. (correct me if I am wrong).

[gitrinec]

Hey Boris problem solved in the directory for the pk3 make sure you supply an actual directory like ("c:/irrlicht-0.7/media/20kdm2.pk3"); instead of what the tutorial says ../../

[Boris]

Are you saying that I have to use absolute path instead of relative?? I don't understand: how come I had no trouble loading other *.pk3's with relative path??
Well, I'll try it anyway.

[trinec]

hey boris Im not sure exactly on your situation but for some reason relative paths didnt work for me but Im only using the pk3 that came with irrlicht I have tried using another one but it states its missing a bunch of texture files and a few models.

[Boris]

As I was answered before, the reason engine is unable to load some textures and models is because you (am i right?) don't have installed Quake 3 on your system. It doesn't make much sense to me, but that's what I've been told, and I don't think that issue is conected with this loading problem.

[trinec]

yes I have it installed is there somewhere that I need to point to a q3 texture directory or something
