Hi all,

so now I tried to use Acki's IrrExtensions, it compiles all fine but if I choose a driverType, it can't draw anything, only tells me has a problem and shuts down....

ok I tell you what I have done:
Allways used normal GUIInterface in my project.
then I used Acki's tool to create the new include dir
and then copied the new include to the old include dir.

did I forget anything?
something wrong?

please help...
thanks!

Well, please read dokus and helps first (in general)... :roll:

Look in the Irrlicht source folder, there is a folder called "CodeBlocks" or "DevCpp" if you're using dev...
Inside this folder(s) are the new DLL and Lib for use with the new includes !!!

Hi Acki,

sorry for bothering you, but there are no dlls or libs in that folder though the folder exists!

Did you recompile the Irrlicht source (with no errors) ???

There is a project file in the sorce folder "Irrlicht.cbp" (also one for Dev and MSVC) !!!
Open this project and compile it !!!
After this you should have a new DLL and lib (*.a) file...

All this you can also read in the IrrExtensions help !!!

What errors (shall I guess) ????
Well, I'll guess:
you choose DX driver(s) and didn't have the DX-DevPack installed, right !?!?!

A link and some indications are located on my site, right under the screen shots !!!

Download the DevPak and untar it (it's just an tar archive), then copy the includes, libs and dlls to the CodeBlocks dirs (include, libs)...
You'll also have to rename some files (read the indications on my site) !!!

hmmm, no one else has problems like you have... :shock:

did you really link your project to the new includes ???
did you really link your project to the new lib (.a) ???
did you really use the new dll with your project ???
maybe your project code has some errors ???
