Black Screen in Tutorial
When I test your tutorial-2nd Game basics, there's only black screen and no reaction when I run World.cpp.

And after that all tutorial has same problem.

There is no error when compile. And no error & only black screen when I running program .

I searched about this problem in this board, but there's no answer about this.

Please give me some support about this problem.

Hello Lupin,

could you verify that you have the latest video drivers installed?

does the world editor work ok? in all renderers? (you can change them using the F10 key)

or does the problem occur only in custom compiled tutorials?

what is your system - OS, CPU, Ram, Graphics Card?

RE: Black Screen in Tutorial
Thanks your attention.

I installed 2009/12 released version of driver from Nvidia home.

And i can open sample.world on world editor, can see on Simple & Single Pass & Multi Pass Renderer.

My OS is WindowsXP, CPU is Intel Quad Core 2.33GHz, RAM is 2GB, VGA is GeForce 9600GT.

On project, I run "EsenthelEngineSDK/Tutorials/Tutorials.sln".

I removed from source "00 - Start.cpp".

I added "EsenthelEngineSDK/Tutorials/Source/Advanced/4 - Demos, Game Basics/Game Basics/02 - World.cpp".

Hello,

so you mean that world editor works ok? if that so, then maybe you have incorrectly installed SDK?
please check this page - http://www.esenthel.com/wiki/index.php?t...stallation
do you have VS 2008?

I re-installed the newest version of SDK already.
I use VS 2008 and DIRECTX SDK November 2008.

RE: Black Screen in Tutorial
the World Editor looks ok, so since your custom projects have the black screen issue it must be compilation error.

please run the autoupdate.exe so it can automatically copy the headers and lib files to the VS folder,
if that won't help please do it manually according to http://www.esenthel.com/wiki/index.php?t...stallation
then please rebuild the project.

Thank you

Finally, I succeeded by AUTOUPDATE.

But there's an error when I entered path of engine.pak on Game Data Path field.

So, I covered engine.pak by new engine.pak that created by entering another path and updating.
