Hiya guys...
Ive got a bit of an odd one here. Im doing some LPD3DXMESH juggling and Ive hit a snag.
This is crudely what Im doing... (pseudo-code, not actual syntax)
LPD3DXMESH mesh0 = ent_getmesh(ent,0,0);
LPD3DXMESH mesh1 = D3DXCreateMesh(...);
ent_setmesh(ent,mesh1,0,0);
mesh0->Release();
All works fine, now here is the rub...
At home on my Win7 machine it works fine...
But here at work it crashes when it hits the Release() calls...
(Both computers are running 8.30.5 commercial, and both have Nvidia video cards)
Any ideas anyone?
Secondary to that issue... is 'Release" NECESSARY with gamestudio?
I will be running it quite often so these left-over meshes must
be cleared out during run-time, otherwise I will have problems...
Thankx muchly guys and gals...

Not sure if this should work, but try this way:
LPD3DXMESH mesh0 = ent_getmesh(ent,0,0);
LPD3DXMESH mesh1 = D3DXCreateMesh(...);
ent_setmesh(ent,mesh1,0,0);
// deallocate mesh at end of level or game
mesh0 = ent_getmesh(ent,0,0);
mesh0->Release();
ent_setmesh(ent,NULL,0,0);
Secondary to that issue... is 'Release" NECESSARY with gamestudio? You can set a mesh that you've allocated, but you should then release it yourself at the end of the game

Wjbender :: Mine is the other way around... It works in Win7, but fails in XP.
Rojart :: That dont help me much dude. Im going to be generating too many
to wait till engine-exit, cause I may not de doing level_load's.
I NEED to release them 'on the fly'.
But at least I now know they DO need to be released, I just gotta figure out HOW...

This is an old thread, but here is a solution which works for me: ent_setmesh((p_Block)->Entity, NULL, 0, 0);
(p_Block->Mesh)->Release();
p_Block->Mesh = newMesh;
ent_setmesh(p_Block->Entity, newMesh, 0, 0); Without ent_setmesh((p_Block)->Entity, NULL, 0, 0); it crashes even when I put the ent_setmesh(p_Block->Entity, newMesh, 0, 0); at the top instead.
