Irrlicht Engine

Just curious if any progress has been made in this area?

I look forward to the new version of Irrlicht with these characteristics

about D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1:

you already have a conditional compile statement:

#if WINVER>=0x0800
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL RequestedLevels[] = { D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_0 };
#else
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL RequestedLevels[] = { D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1,
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_0 };
#endif

meaning: if no Win8-SDK installed, then ignore D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1.

But some lines below you use D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1, so there then is a compile error.

Can't you just use the same condition as above? Like this:

sprintf(msg, "Using %s device, feature level %s",
(DriverType == D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE) ? "hardware" : "warp",
#if WINVER>=0x0800
( FeatureLevel == D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1 ) ? "11.1" :
#endif
(FeatureLevel == D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0) ? "11.0" :
(FeatureLevel == D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1) ? "10.1" : "10.0");

If i do so, then i can compile with my "old" DirectX-SDK (June 2010).

probably just an oversight the defines are quite a recent adition

Also, i have experimented and got satisfactory results creating the SPHERE_MAP shader, and the REFLECTION_MAP
should come after soon enough.

@mel
can you provide a patch for it before we will lose the changes?

@AReichl

i remember that i added this because the 11.1 feature level doesnt work on my win7 64bit system. i throuht it was a problem of the new win sdk (at that time it was new).

edit: ah, i changed that already but never post the patch.

Just downloaded the last version of this driver and the examples fail to create the DX11 device. Usinf Windows 7 64-bit with latest DX driver updates.

hi,

that is the exact error?

maybe the sdk is not up to date?

Actualy the windows 8 sdk is unusable it lack several include files and when you try to install dxsdk on top of it to fill in it just fails

works fine here. which files are missing?

edit: maybe this is relevant? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 63275.aspx

So which is the correct SDK, the latest DX11 or older one from 2010?

that one that is shipped with the win sdk 8. you can download here as i wrote earlier. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows ... 52363.aspx

the win sdk 8.1 works too: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows ... p/aa904949

I have Windows 7 64-bit though.

and it looks like there are problems with windows 7.1 sdk:-http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search ... earch&ac=2

I have win7 64 bit too. You can use the win sdk 8.1 without risk.

I run windows 8.1 and both my machine failed to compile irrlicht with missing d3dCompile.h


and also i'm unable to compile geometry shaders with the driver
