Hi,

downloaded "2007_05_21_irrlicht.mod.zip"
from gmanīs website.
Irrlicht-examples donīt compile:
"canīt find interface for module gg.irbmax"
Itīs not included in the zip file.

Anyone an idea where I can find it?

install the mod folder

- copy the irrlicht.mod folder under the blitzmax mod folder so you should have something like:

c:\blitzmax\mod\irrlicht.mod

where c:\blitzmax is the folder of your blitzmax installation.

- for windows copy the DLL

copy the Irrlicht.dll and D3DX81ab.dll files from the lib\win folder into your windows system32 directory.

What H&K said, except you need to put in inside a gg.mod folder, so you end up with a directory structure of something like...

C:\Program Files\BlitzMax\mod\gg.mod\irbmax.mod

I have redownloaded the mod from:
http://www.gprogs.com/irrlicht.mod/2007_05_21_irrlicht.mod.zip

There is no irrbmax.mod in the zip.

There is irrlicht.mod
and in the folder are lib/core.mod/b3d.mod.

Only a "irrbmax.bmx" is in core.mod

I had put irrlicht.mod under \mod
and under \gg.mod .
Both doesnt work.

Are you taking the piss?
When you open 2007_05_21_irrlicht.mod.zip, what is the first/root DIR called?

Thats right its called "irrlicht.mod". Whats that you say, the whole zip downlowd is the irrlicht.mod

@Seb, no you dont need to put it in gg.mod

I know.

The path:
c:\blitzmax\mod\irrlicht.mod
I although tried:
c:\blitzmax\mod\gg.mod\irrlicht.mod
and rebuilded modules with Blide.

Irrlicht-examples donīt compile:
"canīt find interface for module gg.irbmax"

Sorry about the last post, miss read on my part

Once you have moved irrlicht.a to you Bmax lib folder, and Irrlicht.Dll and D3Dx81ab.dll to your win/system folder, you need to delete the Lid dir in irrlicht.mod.

(That is delete irrlicht.mod/lib)

greetings :) there is an install.txt that comes with the download that should help clear up where it goes (H&K posted this as well):

install the mod folder

- copy the irrlicht.mod folder under the blitzmax mod folder so you should have something like:

c:\blitzmax\mod\irrlicht.mod

where c:\blitzmax is the folder of your blitzmax installation.

- for windows copy the DLL

copy the Irrlicht.dll and D3DX81ab.dll files from the lib\win folder into your windows system32 directory.


also, you will definately need to redownload the samples. gg.IrrBMAX no longer exists and hasnt for quite a while. a couple of major releases ago (Release 2006_09_12) i reorganized the directory structure of the mod. the new base mod is Irrlicht.Core.

i think to clean things up you need to get the mod installed properly and then try the newer samples.

Hi Gman,

downloaded examples (Meshviewer etc.) from your forum:
http://www.gprogs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=18
"Date: 2006-01-08 20:53:26"

Looks like Iīam out of date.
Are there any newer one?

The example from:
http://www.gprogs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=223
works for me.

thx for all replies,
Volker
