Hello everybody,

i have problems to register a template in directx. I've tried two things to solve this problem but it's impossible.

I have set the LPD3DXFILE interface:

LPD3DXFILE xFile;

create it with the D3DXFileCreate( ID3DXFile** lplpDirectXFile ) function:

D3DXFileCreate(&xFile);

i check the return value and it returns S_OK... thats a good message but now my problem.....

i want use the xFile interface to set the templates i want to use with the RegisterTemplates function like this:

xFile->RegisterTemplates(XSKINEXP_TEMPLATES, strlen(XSKINEXP_TEMPLATES));

return value:

D3DXFERR_PARSEERROR

then ive tried this:

xFile->RegisterTemplates((LPVOID)XSKINEXP_TEMPLATES, sizeof( XSKINEXP_TEMPLATES ) - 1 );

again the same return value:

D3DXFERR_PARSEERROR

I'm just watching my listing and think about what i have done wrong at the moment and cant go further...

I hope you can help me.....

best regards

What is XSKINEXP_TEMPLATES? A char array? Your second call doesn't make sense because the function wants to know the buffer size, and not the buffer size - 1. (Edit: I guess the -1 is to subtract the string terminating symbol?)

Does the example from the docs work for you? http://msdn.microsof...v=vs.85%29.aspx

   TIDirectXFile * pDXFile;
	char *szTemplates = "xof 0303txt 0032\
		template SimpleData { \
			<2b934580-9e9a-11cf-ab39-0020af71e433> \
			DWORD item1;DWORD item2;DWORD item3;} \
		template ArrayData { \
			<2b934581-9e9a-11cf-ab39-0020af71e433> \
			DWORD cItems; array DWORD aItem[2][cItems]; [...] } \
		template RestrictedData { \
			<2b934582-9e9a-11cf-ab39-0020af71e433> \
			DWORD item; [SimpleData]}";
	hr = pDXFile->RegisterTemplates(szTemplates, strlen(szTemplates));

Hi froop.

Yeah, this example from the docs works but for some reason the template definition

XSKINEXP_TEMPLATES from the d3dx9mesh.h doesn't work.

I dont know what I have done wrong. Im still thinking about it. i hope you can give me a hint.

best regards

EDIT: Yeah, thats right.I thought that could be the problem so I've used

-1 to subtract the string terminating symbol but that wasn't the problem.
