External Tutorials don't work with current version

Seamless World & Repeating Seamless words

Two other tutorials by Saigumi which show how to create seamless worlds and repeating seamless worlds with Irrlicht. Quite interesting.

Adding E before the DT to get rid of that error, then commenting out the unnecessary line of code that caused the remaining error, still didn't work because it was trying to link to the old Irrlicht.dll.

These tutorials would be used most by new users, but you can no longer even download the older version necessary to run them, thus making them rather useless.

Perhaps all the writers, or someone else even, can get around to updating them.

There was only one writer for those two tutorials, so there is no need to refer to me as all the writer. Just send me a PM saying, "Dude, these tutorials don't work anymore."

I'll look into this, but I'm guessing the errors you are getting are with the addhillplanemesh() function.

I'm confused by the "tries to compile to older versions" part. If there is an irrlicht.dll in the zip, switch it with the new one.

I assumed the others ones don't work either. Yours was the only one I tried.

I know between version 0.4 and 0.42 or whatever, somethings were changed, and the old .dll wouldn't work beacuse of it.

I think it was a little bit more than just the names that were changed with the coming of 0.42, which is now used in 0.6 and apparently shall forever be.

I'm confused by the "tries to compile to older versions" part.

I'm confused about that part as well since I didn't say that.

It links to the names of 0.4 or before when it was made, which can be easily updated if new users knew what to change it to, but also links to something else that can not be so easily changed, thus the link error.

Donut.exe- Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point
?createDevice@irr@@YAPAVIrrlichtDevice@1@W4EDriverType@video@1@ABV?$dimension2d@H@core@1@l_N2PAVIEventReceiver@1@PBG@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library Irrlicht.dll.

I didn't bother checking all the other tutorials to see if any of them worked, just assumed they probably didn't. Nothing personal though.

Also, make sure you are linking to the same version of .lib (or .a) as the dll. linking a 0.5 lib with a 0.6 dll won't work, just change your paths to get it right

I just downloaded your donut example again, but it still doesn't work.

Commenting out the addhillplanemesh bit doesn't make it work either.

Do you have plans on updating it? I think it'd be an interesting thing for people to have access to.
