Hi !

Im making RPG game (Diablo) for my graduation project.
I am working on Jim Adams Programing RPG with Directx 8 book. Any program i compile I get a bunch of different errors. Yes i know Directx 8 is old but i don't have time and knowledge to make something like Diablo. I already tried all the methods found on internet(stackoverflow, this site...). Linked aditional dependencies and so on ... I have sample code from the book and even entire RPG. I don't like the idea moving to Directx9. Yes I have that book too just not the sorce. If anyone has source and samples(for second edition) would you send it to me please ?

Sorry for bad english I type too fast and make mistakes often.

Oh, and please ignore the comments they are in other language.

Any help would be really appriciated

Start by actually reading what the linker is trying to tell you:

The last error for example tells you about a missing implementation of the Run()-Method in the class cApp. A quick look at your main code confirms this - you need to implement cApp::Run() there.

The other linker errors have nothing to do with DX8 or DX9 either - you simply seem to have forgotten to include a bunch of cpp files in your project. All those missing methods the linker is telling you about are implemented in source files that are not part of your build. That's what you need to fix.

You should also just include either dx8 or dx9 libs - not both (e.g. get rid of the #pragma comment(lib, "d3dx9.lib"), #pragma comment(lib, "d3dx9d.lib") and #pragma comment(lib, "d3d9.lib")).

WOW !

thanks !

Im new to directx sorry

Thank you for your time

The remaining errors are a result of interface changes in the ID3DX library between your installed version and the one the core_graphics implementation was built upon.

UpdateSkinnedMesh() should take 3 parameters and be used like this:

UpdateSkinnedMesh(matrix, NULL, mesh), where matrix points to your bone transform matrix and mesh is your mesh pointer.

I don't know the parameters for GenerateSkinnedMesh(). As a rule of thumb, however, you should never just throw in NULL parameters at random. Instead, take a look at the parameter types the function expects and match the variables that are used by the old code against them. Any parameter of the function that is not used by the existing code can be NULL (if it's a pointer).

Question, are you using the latest DirectX SDK? Or are you using the actual DirectX 8 SDK? There's a chance you might be getting the DX9 version of those interfaces which is likely changed since DX8. I've had this problem before, and it can get annoying sometimes. Be sure that you're only linking against the DX8 versions.

If I were you, I'd be looking at the MSDN documentation of those interfaces you are having problems with. I understand that you are new to all of this, but eventually you will need to learn to look to the API documentation when things of this nature arrive. So, from here, I recommend at least opening up the DirectX 8 SDK help file along side of the DirectX 9 SDK help file to see what the COM interface differences are so you can pinpoint your problem. If you don't understand what the different parameters are for, then let us know. Since I have both SDKs installed on my Windows machine, I'd be glad to do a little searching myself for you, but I'm on my Mac right now, which doesn't use DirectX.

Hi !

First of all i would really like to thank you for your help. This means a lot to me. Yes, Im using Directx8 sdk with 2004 update(Maybe thats the problem ill try to reinstall SDK without this update). In Directx SDK help for C++ was

HRESULT GenerateSkinnedMesh(

DWORD Options,

FLOAT minWeight,
CONST LPDWORD pAdjacencyIn,

LPDWORD pAdjacencyOut,

DWORD* pFaceRemap,
LPD3DXBUFFER* ppVertexRemap,

LPD3DXMESH* ppMesh );

pFaceRemap [out, retval] Pointer to the an array of DWORDs containing the face remap
array. This parameter is optional and can be specified with NULL. ppVertexRemap [out, retval] Pointer to an LPD3DXBUFFER interface,
representing the vertex remap data. This parameter is optional and can be
specified with NULL. ppMesh [out, retval] Pointer to an ID3DXMesh interface, representing
the generated skinned mesh.

So the problem is becouse i have only one argument after pAdjacencyOut, where there should be three. pFaceRemap can be NULL and ppVertexRemap can be NUll too.

Nice! Too bad i didn't use that earlier. The functions are fixed only two errors remains before i can draw my level

1>LIBCMTD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
1>Core_Graphics.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _DirectXFileCreate@4 referenced in function "public: int __thiscall cMesh::Load(class cGraphics *,char *,char *)" (?Load@cMesh@@QAEHPAVcGraphics@@PAD1@Z)
1>.\Debug\Diavolo.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals

I did some resarch:

1>LIBCMTD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main is Usually when people are using console application settings. I checked I have windows application. But the other one no idea.

Thanks again for all working advices

Oops, sorry. I forgot to check back on this thread. This is embarrassing...

Okay, here's my take on your linker errors.

"LIBCMTD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main". This is one that even I had trouble with when I was new sometimes. Before I give you a direct answer, let me ask you this. Did you create a new project yourself? Or did you use a pre-existing project fron the book? If it's the former, then you need to build DirectX programs using a Win32 project, not the Win32 console project. Visual studio is looking for the "int main(int argc, char** argv)" or "void main()" entry point that console programs have. Windows programs always start at "int APIENTRY WinMain(...)", and Visual Studio ignores that entry point when building as a console program. If the answer is the latter, then I guess you need to create a new project.

"Core_Graphics.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _DirectXFileCreate@4 referenced in function "public: int __thiscall cMesh::Load(class cGraphics *,char *,char *)" (?Load@cMesh@@QAEHPAVcGraphics@@PAD1@Z)". This one is a little simpler. You're missing (or not including) the .lib file known as D3DXof.lib. Since I never used DirectXFileCreate() before, I had to google it for the MSDN documentation to be sure. It's part of the legacy .x file API, but thank God Microsoft still keeps up with the documentation on it!

Try these suggestions here and let us know if it worked or not.

Shogun.

Hey Thanks it worked ! :)

Now I have working program but the profesor is very angry. I keep telling him Im going to do it. lol

I'll probably give UDK a try if this doesn't works out.

Thanks for all replies from all of you ! :) :)
