Sorry your browser is not supported!

I refere to my previous threads on this issue as I STILL cannot find out what the hell is going on. I have followed pretty much all the threads on here regarding DarkPhysics!

I dont get compile errors things just do not work.

If I put Physics code into my own project, it compiles ok but then just stops working!

The examples compile ok but the also crashes whilst running.

Only this stops at the dbLoadImage lines.

If I rem these out, the program halts at the next db command line.

Someone please help me. If you have msn and at one time or another ran into similar issues, and then GOT IT WORKING msn me, email me or anything.

But I desperatley need help here

You have made *THREE* different threads about the same problem:

Stop being so impatient. If I knew anything about Dark Physics, I would be helping you right now, but sadly, I don't have it. It might also help if you showed some code and told us exactly where the problem is happening by debugging your program.

when you pay money for summit you expect it to either work or have a good description and explanation on how to implement it.

Yes I am impatient but thats because I work in a professional environmenmt and am used to things being explained alot better.

Its just driving me nuts.

Sparkys doesnt offer the things required or at least I have not seen the evidence of this.

Anyway the example ( Multiple Cloth Objects )compiles just fine, but halts and displays this

Quote: "Unhandled exception at 0x0113df9b in Multiple Cloth Objects.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000."

[img]null[/img]

with an arrow pointing at this line :

Quote: " dbLoadImage( "media\\rug512.bmp", 1);"

if I rem out these lines, it will do exactly the same for each and every line

Bran flakes91093, are you a good coder? IE with good knowledge etc

May I speak with you on MSN? or at least by email

}

Which made the code go a little further untill it stopped at this:

dbPhyAttachClothToShape ( 3, 2, 1 );

I'm just trying anything now

Do you have a Nvidia Physx supported graphics card?

yes. But even if I didnt, as I am wanting everyone to be able to play this, can physics still be used?

I think so, because a game called Mirror's Edge uses Nvidia Physx but if you want to use the Nvidia Physx stuff in the game then your graphic card has to support it. And because Dark Physics is just a Nvidia Physx wrapper i would assume that you would need Physx support.

all the Physx stuff works with out the the extra stuff the card uses i use an old 6600 and have no problems with any of it (using software mode for fluids if i do use them) so having a card that supports the ppu specific items aint that important just faster

I managed to get Darkphysics working, from a point of view of eliminating all of the compile errors.

I am using DarkGDK and DarkPhysics. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008(C++) SP1 is my IDE. Note, the Service Pack1(SP1) is important as the latest version of the toolset was compiled with it, so wont work if you dont have SP1 installed.

first, i copied the November08 update to my DarkPhys directory, and them copied the May09 update over that, putting the dxFluidRenderLib.lib and dxFluidRenderer.h files in their respective folders aswell.

Now everything compiles and links, without any errors at all, and the programs actually start, however now the programs wont get past "dbPhyStart()" when executing .. the debugger points to that call as being the last one before the exception occurs. If i comment out the dbPhyStart() call, obviously the physics engine doesnt start so nothing physics related happens, but the rest of the program runs fine.

Ill keep playing around with it, if i find a solution ill post it.

PS. im thinking it may be some conflict with my system, as it is compiling and linking correctly just getting the runtime exception error. I have the latest PhysX system software installed, aswell as PhysX SDK 2.8.1 build 13. My graphics card atm is an Nvidia 9600GT from Gigabyte, being pushed by a core2 e8400 and 2gig of ddr2 on winxp pro.

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

well I've complied Multiple Cloth Objects, however it crashes with this in the error output box.

So if you tell what is going on, what might I need to do next?

I'm guessing here but STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND looks like it's saying that it can't find a DLL file that you need. Unfortunately it only shows the DLLs that have loaded successfully, not the one it failed on.
