@WSPSNIPER2 i have the same issue and my system cant create the d3d device

[Jaych4]

Hi, just wondering should the be a

' return 0; ' under

' ERROR(L"Failed To Create Device"); '

And i get a warning wcan you help me ?

' warning C4005: 'ERROR' : macro redefinition '

I searched everywere even google and could not find how to fix it ?

Please And Thanks.

[BenWells3D]

Yeah, there should be a return 0. Sloppy ;)

it is a prob with the #define ERROR() in App.hpp. I dont experience it with my version of visual studio, i use VS 2005 pro. try commenting out the #define ERROR in App.hpp and then comment out everywhere you see ERROR("Some string"); in WinMain.cpp. its not vital to have the ERROR macro, its only there to tell you where the code breaks, if it does break.

Thanks, soz i forgot to include the other error i got, soz but when i compile it i dont get the minimize, maximize and close buttons ?

very soze about the errors :(

[Jaych4]

YAY, i fixed it it was the line

' WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, '

lol i missed out the ' WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW ' :D

Great tutorials plz continue to make them :D

what about animation heirchy

[BenWells3D]

my plan was to go down more of a graphics route, such as shadowing techniques, advanced lighting, normal and parallax mapping etc because that is more what i specialise in. simple animation hierarchy is fairly easy to do tho, such as an arm with several joints so i might have a go at it, yeah.

nice job , can you make tuts on meshs , camera , collision?

[BenWells3D]

thanks, yeah, basics of camera is part of next lesson and i'm gonna introduce meshes a couple of lessons after that. Collision is a bit more advanced than any of this stuff but i plan to get to it after the fundamentals. If you wanna head start on collision then google "octrees collision detection"
