Hello everyone,

I got a pretty old book called

Advanced Animation with DirectX by Jim Adams.

And in the source code provided,

I have some problems compiling the ParseFrame example,

with this line

 if(FAILED(hr=D3DXLoadSkinMeshFromXof( pDataObj, TempLoadFlags,
                                       pDevice, &AdjacencyBuffer,
                                       &MaterialBuffer, &effectInstance,
                                       &NumMaterials, &pSkin,
                                       &pLoadMesh)))

Here, pDataObj is a pointer of type IDirectXFileData *

The interface of the most current version of DirectX9 of this object

seemed to be changed.

Now, my question is how do I fix this code to make it compile for VS2010 x64

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Jack

First, I haven't used D3DXLoadSkinMeshFromXof myself. I use D3DXLoadMeshHierarchyFromX.

In the current docs for D3DXLoadSkinMeshFromXof, it uses the newer LPD3DXFILEDATA for the input object. LPD3DXFILEDATA is just a typedef for ID3DXFileData*.

Hello Buckeye,

I tried to cast pDataObj to LPD3DXFILDATA, but they are not compatible which gave me some runtime errors..

hello skip that function if you read the book more he show how to load one.

that is way better then that function. I have the book as well very good book indeed.
