one big difference between v1.2 and v1.3 of the mod is that now when the C++ Irrlicht method return null pointer, the mod now returns a Null BMAX object. before it would return a valid BMAX object, but the handle would be 0 and you would have to check IsValid(). got your email will take a look over lunch.

Ah ok, I think my pk3 was corrupt.
Now my game is working. Thank You, gman.

are you getting a crash or is it not showing? i did not have a problem (at least i think). nothing crashed and there was a cool looking level with grassy hilltops. i removed your project already... could you email me the link again? i will redownload, zip, and send back to you.

I'm still having a problem loading my bsp map. I can load other models as maps.
Could there be a problem with how I load the map from a pk3. Did you have any problem loading the map?

found it. while the collision function takes an int ptr to tell if its falling, what you pass in must be a ptr to an actual int variable so it has a place to store the value. two changes are needed. change your Type user global from:

Global Fall:Int Ptr    'User is Falling

Global Fall:Int    'User is Falling

and in User.Update() change:

User.Node.setPosition( Col.getCollisionResultPosition( Slc, User.Node.getPosition(), User.Ellipsoid, User.Velocity, User.Triangle, User.Fall, 0.0005, Grv ))

User.Node.setPosition( Col.getCollisionResultPosition( Slc, User.Node.getPosition(), User.Ellipsoid, User.Velocity, User.Triangle, Varptr(User.Fall), 0.0005, Grv ))

and you should be on your way

I eMailed you the code.

is Media/Maps.pk3 in the proper path and is rok.bsp still in there? erroring where it is usually means it cant find it. is it still the attempt to access field or method of null object? if at all possible, we may need to zip it up and send it to me to track it down. if your willing of course.

could you please run in debug and then post the debug output?

thx.

I was using 1.2 but now that I switched I receive an "Unhandled Exception:Unhandled Memory Exception Error" error for getMesh:IAnimatedMesh(). The DLLs and Mod Caches are updated for 1.3.

Here's where the mesh is loaded

Global Usr:User = User.Create( Vector3df.createFromVals( 300, 800, 30 ), IAnimatedMeshMS3D( Scn.getMesh( "Media/NinjaTest.ms3d" )))

is it still giving you that on the setposition(getcollisionresultposition())? this may seem like a silly question but i have to ask... have you checked for any copies of the v1.2 DLL that it may be using instead of the v1.3?

It showed no other runtime errors. Besides "Unhandled Exception:Unhandled Memory Exception Error"

to narrow it down, lets put this in front of your user.node.setposition(col.getcollisionresultposition()) call:

        If Not user Or Not user.node Or Not user.node.isvalid() Or Not user.node.getposition() Then RuntimeError "user"
        If Not user.Ellipsoid Or Not user.Ellipsoid.isvalid() Then RuntimeError "ellipsoid"
        If Not user.velocity Or Not user.velocity.isvalid() Then RuntimeError "velocity"
        If Not user.triangle Or Not user.triangle.isvalid() Then RuntimeError "triangle"
        If Not grv Or Not grv.isvalid() Then RuntimeError "gravity"
        If Not Col.getCollisionResultPosition( Slc, User.Node.getPosition(), User.Ellipsoid, User.Velocity, User.Triangle, User.Fall, 0.0005, Grv ) Then RuntimeError "getcollisionresultposition"

I am still receiving the same error. Here is what I'm working with.

Global Grv:Vector3df = Vector3df.createFromVals( 0, 0.5, 0 )

    Map.setPosition( Vector3df.createFromVals( 0, 0, 0 ))
    
     Slc = Scn.createOctTreeTriangleSelector( BSP.getMesh( 0 ), Map, 128 )
