I can get this to crash on another machine with an:
"Unhandled exception at 0x00000000 in acknex.exe
0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000"

Poking around, it doesn't look like the t7.dll is getting loaded, which would explain the error message, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't load.

Shot in the dark, but are either of you running the debug version of d3d9? (Use dxdiag to find out).

Oh, and if you can check which dlls are being loaded, that would be great too. Run with "-diag" flag and look at the resulting acklog.txt. The line "t7.dll opened" should appear after all the "PATH" lines.

I'll try and remember a tool called Dependency Walker.

Dependency Walker claim MSVCR80D.DLL is missing if I try to open t7.dll second release. If I open the first release of t7.dll this file is not missing/used.

DirectX version 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) I have tried -diag and it does not show t7.dll being loaded/opened with A7.06.1 on this computer.

Thank you, I figured it out shortly before you did (but my method was *way* ugly...so thank you for the tool link ).

Try downloading the following file and placed in your "acknex_plugins" folder. This should solve the problem, but it will break the AI.

(For the programming geeks out there, the problem happened because I mixed debug and release code in the final build.)

----

I will fix the AI over the weekend (and hopefully make it less stupid as well ).

Thanks for all the feedback so far, you guys are really helping.

Had to wait with test until a backup was made. Tried it now and the new t7.dll is loaded. Only no AI, but you already said so.

Okay, the updated t7.dll is there now.
You should now have working AI, death, and some other minor fixes.

(The AI is still dumb as a sack of rocks, but it will shot at you if you step in front of it and wave your arms around...this will be followed by your death ).

Just to let you know evertying is working fine here.

Good. Onto stage thre: documentation.

Works great Doug from my end;loads and play smoothly.This approach will be a great addition to A7.Looking forward to the final version...ofcourse,we need to do more beta testing.I didn't experience any error message at all.

I am making the AI for my game, I tried the t7 template, the AI although is simple but that's what I need.

Can I use the template AI for vehicle enemies with my own ACTION?

Hi Doug,
This is the first time I was game enough to try T7 but anyway
i have found a bug.
Don't know if this bug has been fixed yet or not.

Where you have #define display00_force_window_full_const 0 in the
display.c,
I had to change it to var display00_force_window_full_const = 1;
to be able to get into full screen mode.

So far I love this new template system..
