2 errors at compiling the movement tutorial

When I want to compile the Movement tutorial with VC++ 6, there are 2 errors:
Compiling...
main.cpp
E:\Irrlicht 0.4\examples\4.Movement\main.cpp(85) : error C2039: 'DT_DIRECTX8' : is not a member of 'video'
E:\Irrlicht 0.4\examples\4.Movement\main.cpp(85) : error C2065: 'DT_DIRECTX8' : undeclared identifier
Error executing cl.exe.

Movement.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Do somebody knows what is wrong (I have Irrlicht 0.4.2

0.4.2 introduced more standardized enumeration naming conventions. All enumerations now start with 'E' so you must change DT_DIRECTX8 to EDT_DIRECTX8.

thanx!

But..
There is another problem:

LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/movement.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

See if you have got all { and } in the right position. I never had that type of error.

Wrong folder, indeed. But, compiling works now. When I want to start it there is an typical send/don't send error message of windows xp....

But, with 0.4.2 I can compile the tutorials but can't run them. When I compile the techdemo, I can run him, I get the window of chosing the driver enz. But the background is missing (fairy is there) and when I click on play it crashes...

Hi Venex,
i see the same error:
The movement example dont work with 0.4.2.
If i delete the &receiver from the createDevice-command the example works (but then im missing the receiver ;-)
For example, in the SpecialFX-example everything works, the only difference is that there is the device not GLOBAL.
is there a bug ?

It has to be fixed, Version 0.5 is too far away.

I cant run the movement examplw with 0.4.2 either. It compiles fine, but crashes when I try to run it.

Add this code to the very top of your receiver's OnEvent method:

Code: Select all

if(event.EventType == irr::EET_LOG_TEXT_EVENT)
{
   return true;
}

Some logging events are sent before the device is fully created and so in the original code the device object has not yet been assigned.

With the Techdemo Menu Background missing is indeed a bug,
i recompiled the whole engine on a Console app.

and it shows me the following ->

Compressed BMPs are currently not supported.
Could not load texture: bg.bmp

as you see i even tried renaming it, changing it to another directories, but bg.jpg works fine, and about the Crashing thing, i dont know, i notice it also but i took everything out of the techdemo to adjust it for myself, i now only got a crash on statusText->setText(tmp); so it might be that the problem is there within the techdemo

@ Niko: i think this is now somewhere a bug within the engine

No, not a bug. The .bmp is a RLE compressed bmp, and I temporarily disabled support for this. Just load them into a image editor, and save it as uncompressed bmp, then it should work.
