What is the correct method for setting up a DarkGDK project?
What type of steps would you use?
-example: Do i use a windows app or a console app

if darkgdk is installed right - you should have a "Wizard" - DarkGDK 3d Game Project or something like that - see attached.

This screen is after FILE->New PROJECT

hmmm i dont seem to have that. Could it be because im using 2005 and 2008? i do it because i also use a game engine G3D which only supports 2005 right now. I looked in both 2005 and 2008 and those arnt there. i tried reinstalling the DarkGDK but no good results...

Yes that is why.

New darkGDK is kinda Integrated to VS2008 to some degree as far as I can tell.

If you can have both 2005 and 2008 coexisting you should be good. If Not - (and you have your vs2005 insteller exe and reg code still) you might need to uninstall vs2005, install GDK verbatum from directions - which you end up with vs2008 - then try to install vs2005 (which in theory should not know about vs2008). That might get you the best of both - dunno -

Follow my lead at your own risk!

Did you Start Clean Before Going through the DarkGDK install Directions?

If you Start With Nothing - then follow the Directions for the DarkGDK Free Edition thing - vs2008, DirectX Version they say, then the DarkGDK Install. You should be 100% Ready to GO -

That's when I recommended you reinstall the vs2005 Stuff.

what???? lol say that one more time.

I uninstalled VC++ 2005 totally. I then uninstalled DarkGDK. Then i installed DarkGDK. After installing, i opened VC++2008 and then looked in
VC++ directories and they were set up just like in the PDF says (instructions). I tried to create a new Solution....and the Wizard section isnt there!

Bro - That Sux and I'm Sorry About that. I Would then try opening a Tutorial and see if it runs. If it Does, I'd copy it somewhere - and use that as a "Starting Project". (At least all the settings are correct which is what the wizard does. It setls all the Project GENERAL Compilling incude dir's and stuff - all the jazz to compile a EXE without a zillion linker errors.)

Sorry its not working out as planned.

Well - the best I can tell ya is when I started - I had vs2005 express and the previous GDK version - I unstalled EVERYTHING - DirectX, DarkGDK, VS2005 - and started with a clean slate - only THEN did it wor. (Meaning - I Installed vs2008, DirectX (SDK?), then DarkGDK Installer Wizard thing)

Go to your DarkGDK installation folder, then copy these:

The 3 folders in Wizard\Projects goes to My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Dark GDK

All files from Wizards\Files goes to My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Wizards, and then, open up all three Dark GDK - ******.vsz in notepad and edit the absolute path, it should be something like:
ABSOLUTE_PATH = C:\Documents and Settings\<your_username>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Dark GDK\Dark GDK - 2D Game\Dark GDK - 2D Game

Pay attention not to forget to change the line to your username and do it for all three . vsz files. Then start VC++ again, that did it to me.
