I tried to make a file with functions to initialize d3d and uninitialize it but when i did that i got these errors:

--------------------Configuration: BULLSHIT - Win32 Debug--------------------

Here is the code in my D3D init file:

//D3DShit.cpp

#include<d3d8.h>
#include<d3dx8.h>
#pragma comment(lib,"d3d8.lib")
#pragma comment(lib,"d3dx8.lib")
LPDIRECT3D8 pd3d;
IDirect3DDevice8 *pd3dd;
void InitMyD3D(HWND hWnd,bool full,int width,int height){
	D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS d3dpp;
	D3DDISPLAYMODE d3ddm;
	pd3d = Direct3DCreate8(D3D_SDK_VERSION);
	pd3d->GetAdapterDisplayMode(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT,&d3ddm);
	ZeroMemory(&d3dpp,sizeof(d3dpp));
	d3dpp.BackBufferCount = 1;
	d3dpp.hDeviceWindow = hWnd;
	d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
	if(full){
		d3dpp.BackBufferWidth = width;
		d3dpp.BackBufferHeight = height;
		d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = D3DFMT_R5G6B5;
		d3dpp.Windowed = FALSE;
	}
	else{
		d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = d3ddm.Format;
		d3dpp.Windowed = TRUE;
	}
	pd3d->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT,D3DDEVTYPE_HAL,hWnd,D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,&d3dpp,&pd3dd);
	pd3dd->SetRenderState(D3DRS_LIGHTING,FALSE);
}
void KillMyD3D(){
	if(pd3d != NULL){
		pd3d->Release();
		pd3d = NULL;
	}
	if(pd3dd != NULL){
		pd3dd->Release();
		pd3dd = NULL;
	}
}

and here is when i try to use it:

//win.cpp

#include<windows.h>
#include"D3DShit.cpp"
bool gameover = false;

int gwidth = 640;
int gheight = 480;

	switch(msg){

		break;
	case WM_KEYDOWN:
		gameover = true;
		break;
	}
	return DefWindowProc(hwnd,msg,wParam,lParam);
}
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE prevInstance,PSTR CmdLine,int iCmd){
	gInstance = hInstance;
	MSG msg;
	int full = MessageBox(NULL,"Fullscreen?",NULL,MB_YESNO);
	switch(full){
	case IDYES:
		fullscreen = true;
		break;

		break;
	}
	DWORD style;
	ULONG width, height;
	WNDCLASS wc;
	wc.cbClsExtra = 0;

	wc.hInstance = gInstance;
	wc.lpszClassName = "Class";

	wc.style = CS_OWNDC;
	RegisterClass(&wc);
	if(fullscreen){

	}
	else{

		style = WS_OVERLAPPED|WS_SYSMENU;
	}
	ghwnd = CreateWindow("Class","Game",style,0,0,width,height,NULL,NULL,gInstance,NULL);
	ShowWindow(ghwnd,iCmd);
	UpdateWindow(ghwnd);
	InitMyD3D(ghwnd,fullscreen,gwidth,gheight);
	while(!gameover){
		if(PeekMessage(&msg,ghwnd,0,0,PM_REMOVE)){
			TranslateMessage(&msg);
			DispatchMessage(&msg);
		}
	}
	KillMyD3D();
	return 0;
}

I dont know why it doesn''t work could someone nudge me in the right direction. I have never split up files before. But i dont want to have to do the direct3d initialization every time i code something. Thanks, Cory Favorite Quotes:Gandalf: You shall not pass!|Smeagol: We don''t need you!|Sloth: Hey you guys!|

You have to put your D3DShit function prototypes in a header and include the header. You never include the cpp file.

thanks man i just remembered taht
