Which path would you use now for SDK? 1.7.2 right? because there are some problems with 1.7.3.

Great vid, as it turns out nothing has really changed since you made this video! However, My project complies and runs like in your video, but the "output" window goes crazy saying ogre is trying to load and unload the same DLL over and over, although the head still appears etc. should I simply ignore the warnings and carry on as usual?

[vydraf]

Is there a difference in setting up ogre3d when i have Visual Studio 10 Profesional? Because u use Express

[bsbsbspl]

@vydraf There should be no difference, although this video is pretty outdated now and the process of setting everything up MIGHT have changed along with newer versions of Ogre. Try following the video and if something does not worth then check the official OGRE wiki.

[vydraf]

@bsbsbspl Yes I can see that all videos on youtube are out of date and even worse on ogre web page there is a big confusion for me. When I go to download and want to download OGRE 1.7.3 SDK for Visual C++ .Net 2010 (32-bit) there is written in description "Sample compilation not working. Please use 1.7.2 version for this particular task instead." so i was looking for 1.7.2. for Visual Studio 10 and did not see it anywhere. should i use OGRE 1.7.2 SDK for Visual C++ .Net 2008 (32-bit) instead?

Thanx for this tutorial! It really helped me!

[ridinghorse123345666]

express isnt avalible anymore.. :(

[kingjulianhird123]

Download the one for visual studio, it instead of visual studio express, took me about 2 hours to figure it out... like a pro

[CurlyCrew12]

Good tutorial, Wow i'm a year late :P

Haha Most English people talk worse English than you.

[ChaseandDonny]

Please help! My environment variables don't work. I have Windows 7 and I typed this in the cmd setx OGRE_HOME C:\Ogre. That was my ogre path and when I made an Ogre project it got errors of not finding any of the Ogre include files.

[ChrisOwnz42]

Err whenever i try to type in the command, "setx OGRE_HOME" it says setx is not a recognized internal or external command, operable program or batchfile. How do i create the environment variable?

[themarlowinator]

@ChrisOwnz42 i had the same problem , just go into cmd and paste this, setx OGRE_HOME D:\OgreSDK\OgreSDK_vc10_v1-7-1 that should do it but youve probably figured it out or given up by now :)

[ChaseandDonny]

@ChrisOwnz42 Your probablt on Windows XP. To do it on XP click start and right click on My Computer then press properties. In the properties go to advanced then Environment Variables then add it.

[ssp1342]

Really nice tutorial ^^ Keep up the good work.

[juriosan]

Thank you very much, this video helped me

[patowlmc2]

Thank you! that really helped. Just for the record, I followed your tutorial using Visual Express 2008 (downloading the apropiate files) and at the end i Had to Click:

Tools>Options>Projects n' Solutions> VC++ Directories ; and add "C:\OgreSDK\OgreSDK_vc9_v1-7-2­\boost_1_44" to my Include files,

and "C:\OgreSDK\OgreSDK_vc9_v1-7-2­\boost_1_44\lib" to my lib files.

Anyway great job! ;)

[tmaninsa]

I have a problem it says that im missing d3dx9_42.dll any ideas oh and when it goes past that it says there was an exception and it dosent load

[psychobobek]

I have a problem under windows xp sp3... I've installed Visual studio succesfully. Then i downloaded ogre... Then i set the variables under my computer as the command setx doesn't work on windows xp... but still i can't see the ogre icon template in visual studio 'new project' menu...

[mitchyd89]

Hey thanks for the video man. A LOT of help. I had a problem with the cg.dll file found out i had forgot to install cg toolkit and add the cg.dll file to the bin folder in OgreSDK. Hope this helps if anyone has the same problem.

[bemereo]

C:\Documents and Settings\User>setx OGRE_HOME C:\Ogre\OgreSDK_vc10_v1-7-2

'setx' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

[guitar115]

All went well up until the end. The Ogre Application icon was not available when opening a new file. Did I install one of the applications to the wrong directory? I have installed vC++ 2010e, Ogre for vC++2010e, and the AppWizard to the same folder. Thanks.

[xXChinesXx]

do it worke wit viual studio c++ express to?

[guitar115]

@xXChinesXx

This tutorial is for Visual Studio c++ express 2010.

[imurbanninja]

This helped me out a bunch, Great video, thanks.

[MentalTeryn]

Few suggestions:

-Try to speak with more enthusiasm. How am I supposed to stay interested if you can't?

-Explain WHY you're doing specified steps (why set path in command prompt, what is the appwizard for? "A lot of stuff" isn't a very clear explanation)

-Finally, don't make the viewer wait while it loads. Either pause your recording program while you wait, and resuming when it's finished, or simply edit the video to skip the waiting.

[bsbsbspl]

@MentalTeryn

Thanks for the suggestions. This is my first real youtube video, so couldn't really avoid all mistakes, especially because english isn't my native language. I was focusing on speaking as understandable as possible, Some of the sentences took me up to 20 tries to record properly because my tounge was getting twisted. I still think i sound like a... uhm... twat in this video, because that's nowhere close to what I sound IRL.

Huge thanks for Your tips, ill keep them in mind :)

"1>LINK : fatal error LNK1000: Internal error during IncrBuildImage"
