I'm trying to integrate Angelscript into one fo the DX9 Samples, it's been a long time since I last used Angelscript. I had to compile the libs as a Multi-Threaded as opposed to a Multi-Threaded DLL to get it to compile with the DX Sample. then I loaded the script, Building the script crashes as it returns -1. AddScriptSection worked and I'm sure I'm passing the script properly! the script just has a main functions, so I'm sure there's no binding problems. How do I get more information about the script failure, and what could the problem be?

You can use asIScriptEngine::SetMessageCallback() to set a callback function that will give you information on build errors. An example for using it appears in the tutorial sample in the SDK download.

yep, got that working, but my script now isn't working. I get this error, but the PrintString function is very much there. The DX App uses Unicode, is there some probable conflict?

script (3, 5) : ERR : No matching signatures to 'print(string@&)'

I may be interpreting your post wrong, but you're calling the function print from inside your script, so there must be a script function registered to that name.

is PrintString the in-script name of the function, or the C++ name?
maybe post the lines used to register the function as well?

Alright, I figured out all my newbie problems, got it running quite well in my game now. what is the best way to debug/trace through the script functions just as you would through say - a C++ IDE?

just started working with this after a long time, Nice to hear back from you Andreas - Remember me from a few years ago - from Raptor Entertainment....we had used your scripting engine in one of our games' render cycles to test performance as well as a general use throught, I'm back to using it now for more games, just getting back to it after a long time - a bit rusty right now.

Thanks for a great Library, I'll keep you posted as I use it. I just needed this feature to help out my Level designers as they'll be made to write script files as well.

yes we cancelled our Game because we had to refocus our company strategy. We are not yet into Engine licencing as we use our Engine to develop games and products for other companies now. and yes, Angelscript is now a part of our Engine. it wasn't carried over earlier from the Game. we're in the process of the next iteration of the engine, which is why I am firm on using AS as our scripting tool.

bstr was very comfortable before, how can I get multiple strings into a bound function now?

I need it to work as multiple parameters(could be any combination)? could you explain how this is best implemented? the present implementation is like this, which compiles but doesnt work.
