Hi,
I'm learning how to program with GDK and im making a basic FPS.
As i fouled around i got into a problem I can't load the weapon.

Heres the code of which I got right now. the problem lies within loadWeapond() and is with dbLoadObject...
Error I get is: (Automatic Breakpoint) First-chance exception at 0x75deb9bc in FPS-Game.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::bad_alloc at memory location 0x003ffa90..

Unhandled exception at 0x75deb9bc in FPS-Game.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::bad_alloc at memory location 0x003ffa90..
Code

Now I have No idea what this means but I hope someone of you do.

Regards,
Thomas

std::bad_alloc means that some function (dbLoadObject in this case) is trying to allocate memory and it can't get enough. But it's kind of strange that you load two dbo models and run out of memory... they can't be that huge (how big are they, actually?). Can it be that the object model itself is somehow corrupt so the system believes it's huge? Can you load that dbo file in another, smaller test program which does absolutely nothing else than load the weapon model?

Actually I was loading the same object numerus times... I had the function within the while loop and therefor making multiple objects... Now I solved it by moving the call handler for the function to outside the while loop (loading it once).

I thought about that too, but in the code you showed, there seemed to be a boolean variable to prevent multiple loading, so I didn't mention it... anyway, good that you fixed it.

Yes I thought I should have been fixed with an boolean but it might not have been loaded correctly when inside the loop... Wierd and fixed by moving it outside
