Lo peeps, I'm giving a tutorial i found on dx8 a go, but having some problems. Now I know this should be in the newbie section, but since it's dx specific, thought i might as well post it here :) Ok, so the site is: http://www.andypike.com/tutorials/directx8/001.asp Now the annoying but is right at the beginning, where the guys says: 2. Make sure that your project settings are correct. a. Project > Settings... b. On the Link tab, make sure that "d3d8.lib" is in the list of Object/Library Modules. If it isn’t simply type it in. AND 3. Make sure that your search paths are correct. a. Tools > Options > Directories Tab b. In the "Show directories for" drop-down, select "include files". c. If it does not exist already, add the following path: \include. d. Make sure that this path is at the top of the list by clicking on the up arrow button (if needed). e. In the "Show directories for" drop-down, select "library files". f. If it does not exist already, add the following path: \lib. g. Make sure that this path is at the top of the list by clicking on the up arrow button (if needed). Now in my version of VS C++, the things he said (Project > Settings, Tools > Options > Directories Tab) do not exist! I've been scratching my brain on where it could be, but whatever I do it doesn't seem to work as when I compile the source he gave I always get an error. Has this happened before to anybody? Know a way around it? Thanks a lot! -greengiant
