Source file change

Post by Koogz »

I found thread in bug fixes forum that shows what to do with CXFileReader.h to get x file meshes in irrlicht without errors. The problem is that I do not know what to do with this file after I change it. Since it is source file it is inside zipped folder within source folder. Sould I unzip it and zip it again? How can I update dll?....?
Help!

Um, to fix a source bug, you'd have to unzip the source (why isn't it already) and recompile it. Simply saving the file won't do anything at all.

As I understood in tutorials, engine is not using source files, it is using dll. Since source files aren't even unpacked, I don't see how it could change anything to compile them now?

you need the source files to recompile the engine (.dll and .lib), otherwise you wouldnt have the updated fix included :)
