Problem with collision demo and I'm not sure why or a fix

darkraven · Post by **darkraven** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 5:52 am

Hi, I'm working with dev cpp and finally got the examples to work with directx and stuff on dev cpp but when I compile the collision demo as an example - it seems to do it on all of them but this easier to do screen shots of. DirectX8 compile and OPENGL compile seems to work fine but when I set the driver type to Directx9 I get black areas. (see the screen shots) Any one know why and what I can do to fix this if there is a fix for it. Its not really all that big of a deal since Directx8 seems to work but I would like to know if there is something I need to do to get it to work since directx9 is the current version. I'm just happy that I finally go directx to work with a compile from dev c++.

Wow, what's that!? Seems that in DX9, you've got no mipmap levels. Could you please post what is printed out into the console? Are there any error messages, which say, that no mip maps could be created? What hardware do you use? (Also printed out into the log)

also you should post your system, i.e. what kind of video card, and if its a agp, or pci type of vid card, the ram it has on the vid card, and other things like cpu, RAM etc. I have seen various cards puke with directX version 9.x

Same program compiled with vc ++ 6. Its the same source code that I used to compile the example in dev c++.

I did recompile the irrlicht .6 in dev cpp but didn't touch any of the source code. The only thing I did was follow the instructions from:

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=1700

But from the information produced from the dev c++ compile it having a problem creating the mips so is there something I can do to get this fixed.

any one know why the direct3d mip map levels aren't being created when I set the device type to Directx9 when using dev c++ to compile. I know its not hardware cause the same program works when I compile with vc6.

It could be that the d3dx9 library is not or wrongly linked to your project.
