Can some explain setting up VS6.0 a bit better than the tutorial? Like how to get the libraries and things setup. (The Dev C++ tutorial explained much better)
The tutorial does a poor job I think, since it says to "Select the Menu Extras -> Options." and I do not see these words anywhere in VS. Plus the screen shots seem to be in german.
And while your at it, would probaly help to show how to get the DX8 library setup in VS also =)
Thanks to anyone willing to help!
Need Help with Setting up VS6.0
You have to select the menu Tools -> Options.
Once you see the menu, goto the tab 'directories' and in the listbox, select 'Include files'. Now double click in the window under the other paths, and browse to the folder with the Irrlicht include files (for example: C:\Irrlicht\include) and click OK.
Then select 'Library files' in the listbox. Double click again in the window under the other paths, and browse to the folder with the Irrlicht library files (for ex.: C:\Irrlicht\lib\visualstudio) and click OK.
This is it. Don't forget to copy the Irrlicht.dll file (under the map for ex.: C:\Irrlicht\bin\visualstudio) to C:\Windows\System32.
But calling the VS6.0 tutorial bad, is a very severe punishment. Actually, I said just the same now but in other words.
For DX8, it's just the same, add the include and library maps from the DX8 SDK in the way I've just explained.
