Hi,

I am pretty new to this and was running through the tutorials. I ran into some issues with relative paths not working correctly. I have the PhysX DLLs stored relative to my application and when I specify the path with ../PhysX I run into issues with the exe not able to find the supporting DLLs. If I move the DLLs to the root folder of my app it works fine.

I ran into similar issues with the engine path where I had to use the IOPath directive and I could not directly use Paks.add("..\Data\engine.pak"). I had to use the following instead:
IOPath("Data");
Paks.add("engine.pak");

Have any of you run into this before? I am running Win 7 64.

Really appreciate your help and please pardon the rookie questions.

Regards

You need to use full path for the physx folder

Do you mean tutorials or your custom project?

What's the full path of your exe, and engine.pak, and physx dll's?
like c:\game\game.exe
...

Thanks Dynad/Esenthel.

I have the SDK setup for a custom project under: C:\MyGames\Test.

The engine file is under C:\MyGames\Test\Data\engine.pak

The physx DLLs are under under C:\MyGames\Test\PhysX\

Should I be able to use relative paths in this case?

where is your exe?

The exe is at C:\MyGames\Test

Thanks

You should use this:
IOPath("Data");
Paks.add("engine.pak");
Physics.create(CSS_NONE,true,"PhysX");

Ah! So it depends on relation to location of exe.

Thanks again Esenthel - really appreciate your time with this.
