Windows Error on .3DS mesh load

[Will Piovano]

Hi,

I am using the Hello World tutorial, and changed only one line of code:

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../../conquest/chess.3DS");

The chess.3DS is a simple box made in 3DS Max which I exported into the folder pointed to in the irrlicht code.

When I run the app, however, I get the Windows Critical Error. Placing a debug point, and stepping through it, I get this at the line specified above:

"Unhandled exception at 0x100555a8 in HelloWorld.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000."

Any ideas on what might have gone wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Will

Sorry this is not an answer to your problem but I just wanted to say that I have the exact same problem so you are not the only one

Anyone?

Hmmm, it tries to read from location 0x00000000...
This looks like the scene manager is not initialised, but this shouldn't be since you just changed this single line of code...

Could you please make a download avilable for the mesh (with textures) so we can check if it really depands on this mesh ????

Try putting the mesh in the same folder as the application and changing the path to "chess.3ds"

if its still got an error then its not the file path, as I think it may be.
