Setting Up MOGRE 1.7.1 in VB.net

Sorry I know this is a very lame question, but actually i am getting frustated to this problem.. hehe
My main problem is "how to set Up MOGRE 1.7.1 in VB.net", i have follow the tutorial from here
http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Mo ... orial_VB_0
But still i encountered some problem, they are :
1. I can't find the OIS.dll (I have found it by installing the 1.4 version)
2. I have follow all the instruction on the link i mentioned above, but when i a program, a window where i have to choose a renderer appear, but there is no any renderer i can choose..

anyone can help me with giving me a clear step to set up mogre in vb.net !?

Thank You Very Much!!

Hi,

1 - you don't need to have ois.dll anymore with the last version of mogre. Just link to mois.dll is enough.

2 - Check that you have a Plugins.cfg (usually, it's plugin.cfg, could be a reason why you have trouble here) files in the same folder of your exe with at least theses lines :


# Defines plugins to load

# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=.

# Define plugins
Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL


you also must have RenderSystem_Direct3D9 and RenderSystem_GL in the same folder of your cfg.

Finally found a slight of light! thanks to you Grantz
I have done what you said, and now another error appear, it's seem to be the last one.. i hope

the new error is :

OGRE EXCEPTION(7:InternalErrorException): Could not load dynamic library C:\MogreSDK\Lib\RenderSystem_Direct3D9. System Error:
The specified module could not be found.
in DynLib::load at ..\..\ogre\OgreMain\src\OgreDynLib.cpp (line 91)

any clue ?

Thank You!

actually i have an assignment project to make a game with vb.net, and i choose to use this engine because i found it very slow to process the game directly with software rendering.. so i hope anyone can help me soon though i understand that i just bothering everyone with my silly questing here, but the deadline of the assigment is so close, so i came to this solution.. sorry..

Thank You very much.

What is your plugin folder ? It should point where your RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll is. The error message state that you try to load RenderSystem_Direct3D9 from the directory C:\MogreSDK\Lib\.

ohh it's the dll one, i thougt it was the object file library, sorry, i am mistaken because in C:\MogreSDK\Lib there are these RenderSystem files, and now i have change it into
C:\MogreSDK\bin\release, there is RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll and RenderSystem_GL.dll in that folder.
but still the same error with "C:\MogreSDK\bin\release" in error message..

could you just post your plugin.cfg and ogre.log (surrounded by code tag) ?

Also, check the samples of the sdk, it will give you an idea how to setup a project with mogre, even if it's not in vb.net.

oke here

the plugins.cfg


# Defines plugins to load

# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=C:\MogreSDK\bin\Release

# Define plugins
Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL
Plugin=Plugin_ParticleFX
Plugin=Plugin_BSPSceneManager
Plugin=Plugin_OctreeSceneManager
Plugin=Plugin_CgProgramManager

wow, it will be really helpfull.. thanks

i tried to add .dll to the plugins so the log having "...\Release\RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll"
then i tried to remove the .dll too, but still error..

You don't need to add any file extension, Ogre already check on which platform it run. From the look of it, nothing seem wrong. You could try also to :

1. put ogremain and plugins dll in the folder of your exe and use PluginFolder=. in your cfg[/*:m]
   
2. output your exe in the release directory of mogre and put your cfg's here. don't forget to change the pluginfolder in this case.[/*:m][/list:u]

Ok I will try it..

Also, check the samples of the sdk, it will give you an idea how to setup a project with mogre, even if it's not in vb.net.

and how about this ? maybe i can follow it and try in vb.net
