also i noticed one of the headfiles you need is Vtx Ind Buf.h and in the installation its Vertex Index Buffer.h. I made a copy of Vertex Index Buffer.h and renamed it to Vtx Ind Buf.h, I think thats correct right?

please help.

Hey there... It looks like you do not have the esenthel.lib library file being linked in your project... I had to copy the .lib file to my compiler's library folder...

Hi,

I've fixed the Vertex Index Buffer header, altough its a minor thing and shouldnt cause any errors.

It seems you haven't properly installed Esenthel Engine, please check instalation in the documentation,

as Brainache said its possible that you haven't copied the EsenthelEngine.lib file

the .lib file is in the correct directory like it says in the readme, I checked everything is correct many times.

Is the project meant to be a console application or a windows application?

This is a windows application

Are you using provided Tutorials.sln (Visual Studio Solution) ?

yes I am using the provided solution. everything in the project settings seems to be good

I'm sure you must have done something wrong in the installation.

Are you using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 ?

Does your project settings in "Linker\Input" look like this ?
Additional Dependencies - wininet.lib winmm.lib libcmt.lib psapi.lib ws2_32.lib oldnames.lib dinput8.lib dsound.lib d3d9.lib d3dx9.lib dxguid.lib EsenthelEngine.lib

Have you copied the latest "EsenthelEngine.lib" to "Microsoft Visual Studio\VC\lib\EsenthelEngine.lib"

If you're updating the engine from a previous engine version you need to copy the new version files.

im using visual studio 2008 proffesional

my project linker/input additional dependancies are wininet.lib winmm.lib libcmt.lib psapi.lib ws2_32.lib oldnames.lib dinput8.lib dsound.lib d3d9.lib d3dx9.lib dxguid.lib EsenthelEngine.lib

i copied the EsenthelEngine.lib to Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib\

here it is sitting there <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://img3.imagebanana.com/view/7j30cqsb/lib.bmp.png">http://img3.imagebanana.com/view/7j30cqsb/lib.bmp.png</a><!-- m -->

I only installed the new version of Esenthel yesterday, and I never had it before.

I'll see how the engine works on 2008 professional and I'll get back to you

I've installed Visual Studio 2008 Pro, and it works with no problem.

thanks for your help, after loads of hours trying to fix things, I ended up reinstalling visual studio and installing all the esenthel stuff again and now it compiles.
I guess something got corrupted along the way.

Thanks for the info, I'm glad that now it works
