Found out that I compiled it correctly from the start.... I figured out I needed to use Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd) for the runtime library of my game even though I thought that was for DLLs and LIBs but it seems to work in EXEs. Found a post on some random forum that said link errors may be cau...

Here's a copy of Lua 5.1 and LuaBind that I'm using. I included the entire folder, in case that helps. But, specifically in my project I'm referencing lua.x86.debug.lib and luabind.x86.debug.lib . As you can see, these are built in debug mode, but they should get you up and running. I haven't neede...

Actually I think when I originally compiled it with VS 2008 it kinda worked, does anyone have an idea what may be causing these compilation errors when I try to use the lib? 1>------ Build started: Project: Ether, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Compiling... 1>Main.cpp 1>Linking... 1>msvcprtd.li...

It's been months since I had to deal with compiling LuaBind, so I honestly don't remember all of the steps it took. But yeah, I do remember it was a pain in the ass and I had to make a few modifications to the code to get it to compile. I didn't use bjam, I just used VS 2008. Tonight I'll grab my c...

I've been looking for days and all I found was a precompiled version thats to old. Let me explain what I did. First I got an installer for lua 5.1.4.23 from here: http://luaforge.net/frs/download.php/3942/Lua_v5.1.4.23.exe Then I got an installer for boost 1.38 from here: http://www.boostpro.com/dow...

I've been trying for days now, I created a c++ express project and dropped all of the source files in it and compiled it in to a lib with no problems but when I use it I get link errors. I know I'm suppose to use bjam to compile it but I'm not sure how to set the directories? Please can anyone expla...

Well I asked this question on gamedev.net but they appear to be down, I need to know how the source engine creates ragdoll collision meshes. I know how they create static single object meshes but it confuses me how they create jointed ragdolls, does havok have the ability to actually create collisio...

I need a diagram on how the ID3DX10Font interface works, anyone know where I can find one? I'd like to copy the process.

Yeah I'm using them right now but the sprite interface wont let me layer them the way I want. I need to do it this way, it's hard to explain why but I do and I don't know how.

So I want to draw text to an off screen area in memory then copy it to a DirectX texture, how would I do this? I hear I need to some how draw the text to a HBITMAP and copy that to the texture but how?

Well I agree that it is easy to learn but it actually has very little in common with other languages.

Yeah, I have had classes where we weren't allowed to use strings either. Honestly though, I think the character array manipulation was good for me. Too many C++ programmers don't know how to handle C style character arrays... I know how to do that and then some for instance I used to manage my own ...

jesus, what happened do atoi, itoa, atof ... etc... see this is why you young people need to learn some C manners. "warning C4996: 'itoa': The POSIX name for this item is deprecated. Instead, use the ISO C++ conformant name: _itoa. See online help for details." This function is deprecated...

How long ago was this?
