I have tested some of the 3D examples but all examples which are using "If Screen3DRequester()" doesnt work.

I run the example, choose a window size or fullscreen, press OK and then the programm immediately ends.
Debug Screen3DRequester() retuns 0.

My DirectX system is: 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
No special compiler options are set... just install PB 5.00 b7, run in /PORTABLE mode und load one of the 3D-examples (Billboard.pb)

Does anyone can help? It seems it is an odd setting of my OS installation (Win XP, 32 bit)

Can you check why it returns 0 ?

Posted: **Tue Oct 30, 2012 5:00 pm**

Yes, the problem is located in the includefile "Screen3DRequester.pb".
The OpenWindowedScreen()command in line 212 returns a zero.

Code: Select all

Result = OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(#WINDOW_Screen3DRequester), 0, 0, ScreenWidth, ScreenHeight, 0, 0, 0)

Debug Result 
; -- prints 0

#WINDOW_Screen3DRequester = 0
WindowID(#WINDOW_Screen3DRequester) = 4131176
ScreenWidth = 800
ScreenHeight = 600
... says the variable viewer (tooltip at mousepointer during debugging)

Could you check your Ogre.log ? and post it here ? You need to put #PB_Engine_LogOutput in InitEngine3D().

Oui, I will do so.

What's your graphic card ? Ogre doesn't seem to be able to create the render window. You can try with the opengl subsystem, sometimes the opengl drivers are better.

No Problems with 3D examples using 4.61 on this machine.
Same problem with PB 5.00 on my Netbook (MSI Wind 100)... but also no 3D Problems on the Netbook with PB 4.61.

Posted: **Tue Oct 30, 2012 6:25 pm**

maybe you should try to update your drivers ?
see here

Your version : 6.14.10.4833
Intel version : 6.14.10.5218

And if it is not already done, think to update Directx9 with this version :
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... aspx?id=35

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 10:48 am**

I updatet DirectX already befor I wrote the first post. So DirectX should be the newest Version.
Nevertheless I ran the DX9-Installer again this morning, but as expected nothing to install.

After your hint I updatet the grafix card driver today...

... but unfortunately this did not solve the problem.
Problem exists still in PB 5.00 b8.

You could try the Ogre3D SDK to check, if it is a OGRE-Bug.

You can download the old version 1.8.0 (PB 5.00) and
the current version (1.8.1) here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogre/files/ogre/1.8/
Of course there is the version from PB 4.6x, too.
It is OGRE 1.7.0

For windows you will need Visual C++ .Net 2008 or 2010
to run the SDK-Demos.

Thank you for your suggestion PMV.

But I am not C++ skilled and the PC I use for the tests is the PC in the office at my workplace. It is not allowed to install other software on this machine (therefor I run PB in Portable mode on the machine.. pssst

).

Maybe I found compiled ORGE examples in different versions.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 1:50 pm**

Maybe you could compile them at home

The Express-Version from Visual Studio is enough for this.
And i think it is just open the demo-project in visual studio
and run it ... or in your case ... compile to an exe. I
Don't remember anything complicated, i doesn't program
in C/C++, so my skill is not good, too

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 5:23 pm**

I thought about it.

If I do that, I still don't know the solution for the problem.

Fact is, the 3D examples are running very well under PB 4.61 (Orge 1.7.0) and the errormessage in PB 5.00 appear in the Orge-log. So it's obviously an Orge problem, don't you think so?

I don't like to install the VC++ SDKs on my machine only to get one more confirmation about this fact. I would rather install it in a virtual machine, but in that case I cannot access my native graphic card.

PS: Seems to be an Orge specific problem: http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=65375
There is no rock solid solution for that. Shi*

-Some users had the "cannot create device" problem. Some of these were fixed by installing new drivers. Others were fixed by randomly switching resolutions and trying to start in fullscreen or windowed. For many people, after a couple of tries it spontaneously just worked. Really weird.

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:33 pm**

Could you try this ?

Code: Select all

Seems pptech has noticed that setting FSAA != 0 on some Intel cards yields cannot create Device. In pptech's case, it may be related to going from Ogre 1.6.3 to 1.7.3. Again, this'll take some time before I can test...

Select 'None' as antialiasing mode to disable it completely. Did you try with OpenGL subsystem ?

Posted: **Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:42 pm**

Thank you for your support, Fred.

Yes I tested mostly all combinations of the options the screen 3D requester offers.

Disable Antialiasing didn't solve the problem.
Using open GL runs well if I start from IDE, but fails as compiled exe - see some posts before.
