I am trying to convert a DBP project to GDK and have been doing ok up till now. The problem I have is that I am trying to implement code to handle ALT-TABs gracefully. this requires delete/reloading all objects. I was able to do this with my DBP project, but with GDK, I can't get the terrain code to work. I have code to delete all my objects and images, but it seems like the terrain code has some separate objects that are not deletable so that when I make a call to dbMakeObjectTerrain, my code crashes (even though I have created the new object to sent to this function. In DBP, we have a DESTROY TERRAIN command, but no corresponding dbDeleteObjectTerrain. from reading the header file, it looks like they rely on using the dbDeleteObject command, but this doesn't work for me (it deletes the object, but not the terrain).

Anyone else had such an issue?

Thanks,
Tony

Just add dbDeleteObjectTerrain in the header..

Add this.


The function is defined in the libs but not simply declared in the header. To be able to call it. Simply add the declaration to the header..

The same goes with..


You can also add undocumented functions as long as they are defined in the libs.

Thanks for the help.

I tried adding this reference to the DarkSDKTerrain.h file and got a linker error (I assume the return value is void).

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl dbDeleteObjectTerrain(int)" (?dbDeleteObjectTerrain@@YAXH@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl Cleanup(int)" (?Cleanup@@YAXH@Z) Utilities.obj

I tried including the header directly into my code.. no luck.

Why aren't issues like this fixed? Seems stupid that I have to go in and tweak the files with undocumented fixes.. What other undocumented functions are there? Are these defined anywhere?
Sorry if I seem perturbed, but I have spent the last two days trying to fix a bug in my code that is not my code!
