I have some problems with the samples you converted to Blitzmax. Here is some bug-reporting:

These samples can be compile, but I only see a black screen:
- BreakableRagdoll
- Ragdoll
- SkinnedRagdoll

These samples can't be compiled:
- Cameraman
- SimpleCarCameraman
- Trails
because the 3impact_cameraman.bmx still has some errors.

SpringyBug sample can't be compiled, too.

And the GammaEffects sample seem to have no result if I press SHIFT/A/Z.

I installed the latest Windows updates plus the newest nvidia driver (158.22), but no chance to use the 5.1.0.0

I installed like described in the docs, but all the demos I try to compile throw an error "The Application Failed to Initialize Properly (0xc0150002)". My DirectX is updated. Could anyone give me a hint?

All seems to be working fine now, thanks.

I'll make a donation next Tuesday to help you out.

Also, hopefully by the weekend you'll have the docs sorted also.

Thanks for your continued work on this. It's very much appreciated.

for the standard IDE, i think this may be a 3Impact install issue.  the procedure entry point message leads to the DLL that the EXE is finding being the v4.4 DLL.  to fix you need to make sure you are using the v5.1 DLL.  remember you need to move the EXE to the v5.1 3ImpactWork folder before you run it or you need to be sure you copy the DLLs from the v5.1 into the system32 directory and make sure there are no older 3Impact DLLs in your system path.

The procedure entry point iBodyMassModelSet could not be located in the Dynamic Link Library dll3impactd.dll

Aint got a clue what that means

I'm using the same template as for 4.40. below

SuperStrict
Framework _3Impact.Lib


If Not i3ImpactOpen() RuntimeError "Unable to initialize the 3Impact game engine"
If Not i3ImpactSettings(_ISETTINGS(640,480,32,False,True)) RuntimeError "3Impact settings failed"


Local myEngine:bmx_3IEngine=New bmx_3IEngine


' begin 3Impact processing
myEngine.Start()


Type bmx_3IEngine Extends _3IEngine 
' called to initialize game variables, load resources, etc
Method _Init()
EndMethod


' the main game loop
Method _Run()
EndMethod


' called when the application exits in order to clean up
Method _Exit()
EndMethod 
EndType

As you can see I'm not doing anything apart from trying to open a window.

Hope it can be sorted.
