Is the newton tutorial outdated??

Post by juantar »

I tried to compile and run the Newton tutorial from the tutorial's page. The problem was that I did not see a single cube and the clicking thing did not work. I was using Irrlicht 1.0 and Newton 1.52. What I did to "fix" my compiled program was to copy the Newton dll from the tutorial folder into my program's folder so it would pick up that dll. Now the cubes do show up and fall and collide very nicely; the clicking thing however still doesn't work. So my question is, Is the newton tutorial outdated?

Hep, I had the same problem (with NDG 1.53), and spent SOME TIME trying to fix this. You trick works, but somehow this seems like an unhealthy workaround. I cannot find what version this DLL is as NewtonGetVersion() does not seem to exist (although it is in the API doc)?!

Anyways, it'll have to do for now.

Thanx, bro :D
