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@vydraf There should be no difference, although this video is pretty outdated now and the process of setting everything up MIGHT have changed along with newer versions of Ogre.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.

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.

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 :)

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]

@bsbsbspl Yes I can see that all videos on youtube are out of date and even worse on ogre web page there is a big confusion for me.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?
