Which version are you using ? DarkGDK or DarkBasic ?

If its the DarkGDK version then you will probably need to go through and setup your projects manually yourself to point to the library and include it as an additional dependancy.

I dont use DarkBasic so if thats the version you have i cant help im sorry.

good luck, its a great product when it works, makes using physics very easy

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!

if its darkbasic here's a check list.

1. DirectX 9.c oct version.
2. Nvidia PhysX driver 909.02.03
3. TGC PhysX upgrade 1.05 installed.
4. latest graphic drivers.
5. DarkPhysX activated.

if that all checks out come back and will try something else.

only needed if you are using normal Darkbasic.

Not required if using GDK.


Have you install the Nvidia PhysX driver? this has the NxCooking.dll and others.

well I only know a little about c++ and gdk, I can only get a few to actual run as I have not set it up right.

I suppose you have told the linker where physX libs files are?

If you look down this forum post on GDK physX you may find one that shows what to do.(I think)

ok almost a success.

Got the DLL files required, but NOW debuging stops at this point in the file crt0.c:


Quote: "#ifdef _WINMAIN_


lpszCommandLine = _twincmdln();
mainret = _tWinMain( (HINSTANCE)&__ImageBase,
NULL,
lpszCommandLine,
StartupInfo.dwFlags & STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
? StartupInfo.wShowWindow
: SW_SHOWDEFAULT
);"


Think Im gonna go mad

Have not got a clue what your above quote is saying, so hope you find something, is C++ your main coding language or did you learn basic first then C++.

Will be of insrest to me if you can show what you have in the linker for libs and other bits how it set.

When I was setting mine up, clicked and change so many things because I did not know what or how to use things, that some bits work other bits do not, all because I do not know enough about the ide(for a word).

As far as you know the basic GDK work ok yes.

so all you need to down load is

Download Dark Physics for Dark GDK
Download optional Dark GDK Update - 26th November 2008
Download optional Dark GDK Update - 26th May 2009

Then add this line to the linker VC++ directorys
in the includes

C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include

in library file.

C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Lib\VS9

cannot say if this right as I have yet to get one of the demos to go as well, been sometime since I did any of this as it was driving nuts, so left it a while.

If you open the Nvidia control box for the graphic card then click on system information it should show the number 9.09.0428 as the driver number.

keep cool took me 2 weeks to get this far.

looks like you may have clicked something that did not need clicking.

If you remember how you set VS up for basic GDK then it in the same place.

If not look in the GDK install guide it should show how to get there.
