I think I've set up RPG 2 in the same way as I did the MMO example:
coppied the Esenthel RPG 2 folder into EsenthelEngineSDK
coppied all the physX dll's from EsenthelEngine/PhysX into Esenthel RPG 2/bin
coppied engine.pak from EsenthelEngine/Data into Esenthel RPG 2/Data

Ran Editor 64.exe
Reset the data path
Closed the editor
Restarted the editor and set the path to EsenthelEngineSDK/ Esenthel RPG 2/Data
I clicked explore to check the path is EsenthelEngineSDK/ Esenthel RPG 2/Data/World/land.world
Load the world
Did Clean All Build All

Exited the editor
double clicked Esenthel RPG 2 /Esenthel RPG 2 VS 2010.sln
it gives me the choice of
Visual C++ Express 2010
Visual C++ Express 10
(I've tried them both)

I get this error:

1>c:\esenthelenginesdk\esenthel rpg 2\source\game.cpp(450): error C2664: 'void EE::Game::ObjParams::type(Bool,const EE::Str &)' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const EE::UID' to 'const EE::Str &'
1> Reason: cannot convert from 'const EE::UID' to 'const EE::Str'
1> No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called

I've search the forum for the error, Any help greatly appreciated

Hi,

Did you try updating the sdk to latest version?

I have now, I will always run EsenthelEngineSDK/Autoupdate.exe in future before asking questions.

There are actually 2 errors Player.cpp and Game.cpp

I might have a clue: In the editor when I load the world everything is there except the player character model I can see the club the health potion and the goblins etc.
but no player model.
When I Play Last build there is no character either just a camera.

I seem to be missing the character model

After updating the SDK, could you try doing "Rebuild" option in the Visual Studio so that it will recompile the precompiled header?
I think that should help

that's not related, the character is created dynamically in the codes, so everything is ok with that

OMG (microsoft) Build doesn't rebuild?
In visual studio I had to change menu Tools - settings and set it to "Expert Settings" to get the Rebuild Solution Option in the menu

I used Rebuild Solution and it seems to have worked

========== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

Then I restarted Visual studio and in the output section I see

C:\EsenthelEngineSDK\Esenthel RPG 2\Esenthel RPG 2.vcxproj : warning : Platform 'x64' referenced in the project file 'Esenthel RPG 2' cannot be found. Please make sure you have it installed under '%VCTargetsPath%\Platforms\x64'.

I click Build - Build Solution and get

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

when I try to run the exe I get

Shader Param "BendFactor" not found pop up

I searched the forums and there is a similar error here http://www.esenthel.com/community/showth...Shader+Par

the solution was " you have to use the latest engine.pak and it needs a rebuild if you just updated through the update tool."

how do I rebuild engine.pak?

The thought occurs is RPG 2 multiplayer? is it MMO? will I end up with a Server and a Client exe?

Hi,

After you've upgraded to latest SDK using Autoupdate, please also copy the latest "engine.pak" to the RPG 2 folder as in the installation instructions.

ERPG2 is not MMO, it's only single player, with 1 EXE file.

Thank you for your excellent help once again Esenthel

I have been stupid and bought the wrong thing, I assumed that RPG2 was multiplayer, I have no interest what-so-ever in single player games.

I'm going to buy Ineisis Online (Source Code) is there any chance of a refund on erpg2 ? I will never use it.

Copying the engine.pak in to the folder worked, and I know to do that in the future when ever I Autoupdate.

Hello,

I apologize but in Esenthel Store the items are non-refundable.

You can see Esenthel Store Terms in http://www.esenthel.com/?id=store
when you click "Login / Register" there is:
"By logging in, you agree to Esenthel Store Terms."

I know it was my fault :(
