Mumble, grumble. my last error turned into 56. I changed all the directX related names and fixed the parameters and now I''m getting a ton of unresolved external symbol errors

Note: I made the same changes to a game made for chapter 20 and it compiled completely. I don''t see why my particular programm should be giving me this much trouble...
Jim Adams ------------> Topic for you
Did you include all the .libs?
Also, did you make your new project a win32 app? I''m wondering why you prog is trying to link a main?

Perhaps it''s something to do with DirectX being fully backwards compatible with previous version, no?
Based on the above reply, I went back and tried building
the GameCore with the DX8 libraries included with DX9 SDK...
wow! I was stunned stupid. It actually worked. I did
get a bunch of errors at first because I didn''t include
the proper *.lib files. I also had to comment out the
the "GetIP" references in the Core_Network.h/Core_Network.cpp
just to get rid of some vague linker errors. At any rate,
the *.lib files that works for me are:
d3d8.lib d3dx8.lib dinput8.lib dsound.lib dplayx.lib dxguid.lib d3dxof.lib winmm.lib
...and of course the "/J" switch for the C++ option. I am
still getting the following warnings:
Core_System.h(44) : warning C4244: ''return'' : conversion from ''LRESULT'' to ''int'', possible loss of data
Core_System.h(44) : warning C4244: ''return'' : conversion from ''LRESULT'' to ''int'', possible loss of data

Core_Network.cpp(632) : warning C4267: ''argument'' : conversion from ''size_t'' to ''const DWORD'', possible loss of data
Core_Network.cpp(721) : warning C4267: ''='' : conversion from ''size_t'' to ''DWORD'', possible loss of data

Core_System.h(44) : warning C4244: ''return'' : conversion from ''LRESULT'' to ''int'', possible loss of data
Heh, is there another C++ switch that I forgot to add similar
to the "/J" switch? These warnings are annoying...
At any rate, I have successfully compiled and ran chapter 12''s
MeshLvl example without any problem.
I''m gonna try chapter 12''s nodetree and chapter 20''s the
tower example next.
Oh, and thanks to the anonymous poster for clueing me in
on using DX8 with DX9 SDK..."so that''s why there are DX8*
files in the DX9 SDK''s include directory..."

Wahoo! Both the nodetree and the tower examples work!
There''s one issue with the tower example though.
After I beat the one monster in the village, I cannot
talk to any of the villagers or the guy on the bridge
in the next screen so I could not enter the tower to
see if the other parts of the game is working or not.
Has anyone here experience this? I''m using the updated
code downloaded from Jim''s website with the DX8.1 update.
''kay...I''m going to sleep now...

I''ve been gone for a while, so I missed most of this thread
The most common problems for the engine not picking up on clicked meshes is that the mesh/vertex buffer creation flags are set to write only, which throws off the D3DXIntersect function. Try searching for WRITEONLY flags and change them to 0 and see if that helps.

I was taught to start all my projects as a "Win 32 Console Application". should I do something differently to start a DirectX project from the book?
Stuff does programming things.

Afternoon, Feldar.
Where''d you learn that?
Start the project as "Win32 Application" and you''ll do fine.
Just remember to add the correct libs to your project though.
Cheers,
Scronty
