Tutorial for MD3 loader

r2d2 · Post by **r2d2** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 8:52 am

seems like you haven't read the readme clear enough. you have to copy the cpp and h files from the loader into your irrlicht source dir and the I files into the include dir
and the other error with d3d9.h well seems like it's missing ^^

r2d2, I've added the things from the readme file and also the stuff previously on this forum, and I'm getting this error:

CSceneManager.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall irr::scene::CMD3MeshFileLoader::CMD3MeshFileLoader(class scene::io::IFileSystem *,class scene::video::IVideoDriver *)"

Now, before you ask

I've looked at CSceneManager.cpp and I have added the "CMD3MeshFileLoader.h" file. and the MeshLoaderList.push_back lines of code looks like this:

Code: Select all

	MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CDefaultMeshFormatLoader(FileSystem, Driver));
	MeshLoaderList.push_back(new C3DSMeshFileLoader(FileSystem, Driver));
	MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CXMeshFileLoader(MeshManipulator, Driver));
    MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CMD3MeshFileLoader(FileSystem, Driver));

I'm not sure if this is right, but in the readme file it says:

Code: Select all

and after    MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CMD3MeshFileLoader(FileSystem, Driver));      :
MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CMD3MeshFileLoader(FileSystem, Driver));

So, I was a little confused.

well that's right how you did that you have to add the files to your project else you will get the unresolved error

I got it compiled (albeit with a few "signed unsigned mismatch" warnings I think) and I was just wondering, how come the size of the dll went from 856k to 3.3Mb??

And now, lo and behold, another error.

Okay, I open up the project given in the example, and when I try to compile it I get this error: main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static void __cdecl irr::os::Printer::log(char const *,enum irr::ELOG_LEVEL)"

and another also for the other log function.
<sigh> debugging is such a pain!

You've got to Release it.

have you compiled the irrlicht dll in release or in debug mode? you should compile in release mode because it's not only much faster it also makes the files much smaller.

the warnings are normal
well i don't know this error perhaps it has got something to do with your too big size of the irrlicht.dll or perhaps you havenn't added the files in the right place to the irrlicht project

I now know what my problem is. I still don't know how to fix it... this error is coming from the "os.h" files that "CAnimatedMeshMD3.cpp" includes.

So, basically, these log functions are being declared in the "os.h" file.

My problem was that i had copied the os.h file into the directory (kinda stupid to do) and I deleted it just then, so now I'm getting the "Cannot open include file "os.h" ". So, how should I include it?

HA! I figured it out!!

r2d2, in the example "main.cpp", all the source files had been included up the top. I thought that was a little strange, and was wondering why you would need the source files for the MD3 loader included like that, and then I realized that you wouldn't, because, obviously, all the code is already in the dll file.

Yay!!!

Ok i made the readme much easier to read. The only thing you need is a programm capable of loading ".doc" files. I also added a little fix to it i hope it helps. If not please post your problems fast. Starting wednesday i will be 2 and a half weeks in Latvija.

Sorry for bringing this thread back alive, but I feel its a very nice tool and would like to work with it.

Has anybody tried this with visual studio and the latest irrlicht version?
