Weird Problem

[rz950]

I've been trying this engine for a game I'm working on and the stuff I have worked on compile but when I try to run it, it gives an windows crash error. I don't know why, so I decided to paste the code here and someone hopefully tell me whats wrong.

Code: Select all

#include <irrlicht/irrlicht.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace irr;

int main()
{
        // starts up the engine
        IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(video::EDT_OPENGL,
            core::dimension2d<s32>(640,480), false);
            
        video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
        scene::ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
        gui::IGUIEnvironment* env = device->getGUIEnvironment();

        driver->setTextureCreationFlag(video::ETCF_ALWAYS_32_BIT, true);
          
        device ->setWindowCaption(L"StarKraft3D");
                
        // add camera
        scene::ICameraSceneNode* camera =
            smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0,100.0f,1200.0f);
        camera->setPosition(core::vector3df(1900*2,255*2,3700*2));
        camera->setTarget(core::vector3df(2397*2,343*2,2700*2));
        camera->setFarValue(12000.0f);
        
        // terrain loading 
        // TODO: Add XML support for loading texture and terrain
        scene::ITerrainSceneNode* terrain = smgr->addTerrainSceneNode(
             "../media/grass-heightmap.jpg");
        
        terrain->setScale(core::vector3df(40, 4.4f, 40));
        terrain->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
        terrain->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture(
            "../media/grass.jpg"));
        
        // create triangle selector for the terrain	
        scene::ITriangleSelector* selector =
            smgr->createTerrainTriangleSelector(terrain, 0);
        terrain->setTriangleSelector(selector);
        selector->drop();

        // create collision response animator and attach it to the camera
        scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = smgr->   createCollisionResponseAnimator(
            selector, camera, core::vector3df(60,100,60),
            core::vector3df(0,0,0), 
            core::vector3df(0,50,0));
        camera->addAnimator(anim);
        anim->drop();
   
        //deletes device 
        device->drop();
	    return 0;
}   

Other then my coding style, whats wrong with this code? It compiles fine but automatically gives and error when you try to run it.

Can you not step through with an IDE?

If not just put a cout << "Now doing : xyz" after every 10 lines or so to narrow the problem down a bit. It might be that your dropping a reference to an object that you shouldn't.

It would really help to know the exact error message.

put the dll file in the same directory
if its something else, pls give us the error message
