Irrlicht and DX 11

[BingoPlayer]

Hey guys, i have a problem.
I am making a 3d game (Venom) and i am using irrlicht 1.7.3. i decided to improve it and i downloaded the Irrlicht Engine with DX 11 from

Code: Select all

https://bitbucket.org/evandromillian/irrlicht-20xx

.
When i was trying to run any example in DX 11 , it always quit and send me error message like : Error, could not create device.
Can someone help me with that ?



I have a new graphic card AMD Radeon HD 7310m with DX 11.

You probably need to recompile irrlicht and all the library for it to work i think it's what i needed to do

i have not worked with it in a long time since i ported it to 1.8

[BingoPlayer]

I downloaded also version 1.8. It is possible to run it with this version ?

[Granyte]

it's not possible currently how ever i will port it to 1.8 in the comming weeks i ported it in the past but forgot to make a backup befor i started porting it to the FVF (wich was a unsucessfull port)

[BingoPlayer]

But if i want to re-compile Irrlicht source to the .dll, i need headers like d310math or something else... where can i find it?
Any link to download all headers ??

Thank you for your help.

These headers are in the DX SDK, found at Microsoft's download sites.

[Granyte]

note that if you are recompiling with dx11 you will also need to recompile and link the effect framework wich is in the example folder

Thank you a lot.

Hey guys I need your help again.

I downloaded DirectX SDK (June 2010) but when I am trying to compile Irrlicht to the dll i am getting errors :

1>c:\program files (x86)\microsoft directx sdk (june 2010)\include\d3dx10math.h(425): error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'

1>c:\program files (x86)\microsoft directx sdk (june 2010)\include\D3DX10math.inl(1003): fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

The problem is here :

void* operator new (size_t);
void* operator new[] (size_t);

It is just underlined like an error ... i dont understand :/ ...

Can anybody tell me how can i fix it? A found some document where is some information about how to add a header file with some declarations, but it didnt work.

Thank a lot.

are you trying to compile in debug mode?

[BingoPlayer]

Yeah in debug mode ... but now i switched to realease mode and it works ...
umm ...

1>CD3D11CustomMaterialRenderer.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _D3DCompile@44
1>CD3D11CustomMaterialRenderer.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _D3DX11CreateEffectFromMemory@20

only this error report :/

[Granyte]

you have to compile the dx11 effect framework wich is located in the smaple folder in the directx sdk and then add the library to your project for compiling

[BingoPlayer]

Aha, so this cause the problem.... many thanks my friend. Can i also contact you anytime when i will need help ?

[BingoPlayer]

OK so, i compiled Effects 11 in the sample folder... i copied lib file to my project , linked it but wtf? it doesnt work... i just dont understand anything ... :/

[Granyte]

PS ill start porting it to 1.8 later today
