Hi there,

I'm trying to implement a POC of Dark Occlusion to see if it is working or not for DGDK.

So far, I tried to load as a library the sample 'DarkOcclusion.dll', that is provided at the product page for testings.

The dll seems to load fine, but I got an 'access violation' when trying to use the function pointers.

I'm trying to keep it simple:



I attach the full VS2008 project and the 'DarkOcclusion.dll' demo file.

Please guys can you help?

Thanks in advance.

DBPro dll’s are set up to use callback functions, constructors and destructors, so they can utilize functions from other dll’s as needed. You cannot simply call the functions from a DBPro dll and use the function in Dark GDK. The dll functions will not have access to the Dark GDK object pointers, which is the reason for the `access violation`. Since there’s no Lib for Dark Occlusion you will need to implement Occlusion Culling with DirectX.

I have attached a DirectX 9 tutorial/demo.
