I know this is d3d, but its general c++ errors im getting, so heres the full source, I tried using the
'typedef VERTEX* LPVERTEX;' on it, but I get:
Quote:
error C2664: 'ID3DXMesh::LockVertexBuffer' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'BYTE **' to 'LPVOID *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

thx
