[SOLVED] Oh dear...Irr0.9 Q3map problem

Fraza · Post by **Fraza** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 6:07 pm

I just downloaded Irrlicht 0.9 and pasted the DLL into my HelloWorld program directory. Success! It worked, promptly I pasted the DLL into the Quake3Map example for a hardware test and it didn't work, windows threw up an error.

I am using DevCpp, does anyone else with DevCpp have the same problem?

Edit: Before anyone asks, I'm using the DLL found in the /DevCpp directory.

Make sure you copy the new Irrlicht 0.9 DLL into your working directory or system32 directory. Wherever you plan to access the irrlicht dll.

Other than that simple change, I am having no issues with 0.9 using VS.Net 2003

I already copied the DLL into the working directory, which is infact what is causing the problem (as the old DLL works and worked perfectly). There seems to be a problem somewhere, I was wondering whether there was a simple explanation of this.

make sure you re-compile using the irrlicht 9.0 includes and such
or youll get linking errors (cause it cant find stuff the dll needs)

I have also the problem to compile the demos that using the q3 map !!!
I'm using Dev, too...
Now the problem is that the zlib doesn't work after recompiling the dll !!!
I'm on the search for the zlib 1.2.2 dev package - but still haven't found...

I tried zlib 1.2.1, the one includet to Irrlicht and a v1.2.2-blabla.devpak but nothing worked !!!
All demos that doesn't use the zip file (q3 map) are working korrectly !!!

So, if someone knows a solution...

CU, Acki

The executable file is independant of such files, I thought of recompiling anyway incase of new ways of interacting (for want of a better word) with the DLL but that made no difference. Also, only the "HelloWorld" executable works for me, none of the rest of the executables (including my own project) work anymore.

I found the error !!!
It's not because zlib, but because jpeg !!!

If you have one of these installed, uninstall it first and also check the pathes in CZipReader.cpp and CImageLoaderJPG.h !!!
