Deep Space Explorer - Tranquility (Flyby and follow)

[Keya]

no luck here either, ive tried on XP32 and two different Win7-64 systems, with and without OpenGL as subsystem
it was crashing at Add3dArchive("sound", #PB_3DArchive_FileSystem)
so I commented that out, but then it crashes at the very next line: CreateCamera(0, 0, 0, 100, 100)
looks amazing from the screenshot!

It's weird.

The first thing I do on a new system is to download and install DirectX 9.0c
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... g=en&id=35
then....
Try loading the sound the default way...
sn = LoadSound(#PB_Any, "sound\rock2.wav")
If it works....Then you should be able to use the
sn = LoadSound3D(#PB_Any, "rock2.wav") too. (The sound folder is specified in the Add3DArchive("sound", #PB_3DArchive_FileSystem)

What does the debug output show?
Do you get valid ids? (non zero).

After applePi's wakeup call on CreateCone() - it works flawlessly here on both PB 5.42 LTS Final x86 and x64.
Edit: ApplePi tried it on Windows XP with success.

Got it to work, but man...

The only way it worked was when I specified the complete path to the folder with the sound in Add3DArchive().
What you described and anything else I've tried resulted in a crash.

Damn!! That was something I never thought off...(Complete path)...
Glad you got it working, though.

I'd really like to figure out where the problem was, to avoid future problems.
Have you set any default paths somewhere?
Is there a good way to prevent it from crashing? (Like checking the path PB will actually use to find the file, so you can make sure the file is there?)

Then I'm the only one who can't get it working? Would you mind sending me your compiled exe to see if I get the same error as when I compile it myself?

Try changing InitEngine3D() to InitEngine3D(#PB_Engine3D_DebugLog). You should get a text file in your root directory that will contain a lot of information from Ogre. If it's a hardware issue Ogre might be reporting it.

It was the sound issue (I haven't read all the posts thoroughly). However, occasionally, after exiting, I get something like this:
