Can't seem to get DarkPhysics working; it compiles fine, then it pops-up with a msgbox saying something about NxCooking.dll missing. WTF?!

VC++ Include
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Include
C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include

C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Lib\x86
C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Lib\vs9

Keep it simple.

Try copying those files, there are 4 .DLL's from the Samples directory that comes with DarkPhysics into your project's directory.

You will need to make sure that you have the correct DLL version or it will give you a similar though different error.

I only say to copy the DLL's from the Sample Project's because they are the easiest to find without digging through PhysX driver folders looking for specific versions of files.

the names of the 4 DLL's are :

NxCooking.DLL
NxCharacter.DLL
PhysXLoader.DLL
NxExtensions.DLL

They should be able to be found by your project's EXE file either by being in the same folder as it, or in a place where it will look for them.

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

I think so, you need to include the DLL in the games folder like you would if you were using other DLL's in the app.. either that or whoever you give the app too will have to have a copy of those same 4 DLLs somewhere in their system's search path, which is probably unlikely most of the time, its easier to just include em in my opinion, they arent too big

yes, you're right, it's not that much!
but what about this PhysX runtime thing? is it still required?
i downloaded it and it was about 40mb! i don't want my users to have to download this!
