PureBasic Forums - English

Due to a lot of PC troubles, I was down and away for a few days,

I come back and what do I see
PB v5.0 is waiting for us...

I forget all my PC troubles write now ...

Thanks for all the new 3D stuff,

I love PB

Marc

Fantastic to finally see 5.00! Great work guys.

Nice one Fred and Timo and team I had no doubt that PB was going to go from strength to strength! Thanks very much for all of your efforts

Error Can`t initialize engine 3d since installing pb 5 beta 2 even in 4.61 getting this error. have put engine3d.dll in working folder but still the same problem. although i don't normally touch 3d or games stuff when i have had a little play putting engine3d.dll in the current source code folder has always worked any ideas ?

Thanks Zebuddi.

What example are you trying to run?

thanks!

@dman

having problems with all the 3d examples from 4.61 - 5b2 the call to InitEngine3D() fails every time very strange. i`m just going to trace pb with procmon to investigate

Zebuddi.

Just traced PBDebugger.exe with procmon it shows call to Screen3DRequester.pb but nothing for Engine3d.dll which i thought should definaitly be there also the path its using to open engine3d.dll

??????

it has perhaps nothing to do with your problem, but for information it is necessary to install the latest version of directx 9.0c

Very nice, that I now can copy & paste from Safari browser (e.g. code examples on the forum) directly to the PB IDE on MacOS!

This avoid the additional effort to post if first to "TextEdit" and then copy&paste it from there again...

Hi comtois dx9 installed and i believe the dx7 files are included in the dx9 install.

I`m running avast internet security i used to use comodo internet security, sometimes comodo would block access to certain files, was wondering if avast is doing the same but cant find where avast says if it has any blocked files.
bad interface (only cause i dont know what im doing )

i have disabled all avast modules with no joy but service belonging to avast could still be blocking (had this type prob before)

but thanks for your replay anyway


Zebuddi.

Solved reinstalled 4.61 and 5b2 ( Engine3d.dll is 9.72mb ) defiantly wrong. now 2.26mb in 4.61 and 2.39mb in 5b2 can people compare please and let me know the sizes you have !!!




any ideas people ?

@Zebuddi123

Hmmm.... this is very strange, I use Avast and most of the 3D examples run fine, apart from the examples that need
a better graphics card.

Could that be your problem? most likely not.

Noooo !!! q6600 quadcore, 4gb ddr3, nvidia 9800gt 1gb, as previous post it was a huge Engine3d.dll where from i dont know checked vith avast and clam av both virus free

and seems fine like a regular dll, no corruption though base address`s are different and the offset`s seem the same any guru`s have ideas please

Zebbudi.

@Zebuddi123
Strange, remove all older version of purebasic , re-install the latest beta.
Try InitEngine(1) to activate the .log file, and post the file here via pastebin.
i think the bug is the interface between the chair and the keyboard

Or you could comment out lines 18 - 21 and it 'should' work

i.e.

;CompilerIf Subsystem("OpenGL")
;CompilerElse
;CompilerError "Use opengl subsystem , shader is glsl."
;CompilerEndIf

@G-Rom Absolutely a bug between the chair and keyboard it`s an embedded feature i`m afraid as i said 3d working it`s resolved was down to this large Engine3d.dll.

was just wondering if anyone had come across this 9+mb engine3d.dll ?
