stunt playground - access violation

i have just downloaded and played with stunt playground, top stuff.

then, i downloaded the source and compiled it in VS 7.1. i got it to build fine, but when i run it (from the IDE or from the .exe) i get an AV. Ogre.log shows nothing, but CEGUI.log shows this:

so the last thing it does is parse windowslook.scheme, which is this:




<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<GUIScheme Name="WindowsLook">

</WindowSet>
</GUIScheme>



The error is therefore is that is does not know what <WindowSet Filename="CEGUIWindowsLook"> is.

So i have deduced the problem, i am just not sure what the solution is! and there are no forum topics about this. i have even copied the media folder from the Stunt Playground directory (ie the actual game that works) into my working directory, but still the same problem.

anyone know?

more info
----------

if i run from the IDE in debug mode the app AVs in StuntPlaygroundApplication.cpp here:


/////////////////////////////////////////////
// load high scores.
mScores.load( "../../Media/high.scores" );
mGUI_JP_DISTt->setCaption( Ogre::StringConverter::toString( mScores.mDist ) ); ========= HERE ==========
mGUI_JP_TIMEt->setCaption( Ogre::StringConverter::toString( mScores.mTime ) );
mGUI_JP_FLIPSt->setCaption( Ogre::StringConverter::toString( mScores.mFlips ) );
mGUI_JP_2WHt->setCaption( Ogre::StringConverter::toString( mScores.m2WH ) );


So all fingers pointing to a GUI issue, but again not sure what exactly. I have added mSceneMgr as the last argument to the mGUIRenderer constructor as stated in one forum thread.

ok, can someone at least tell me what version of CEGUI stunt playground is suposed to use? because there is one with the OgreSDK, and also the downloadable CEGUI SDK...maybe the problem is due to the fact that the app is pointing to multiple versions of the same lib file? like CEGUIBase.lib etc

do you have CEGUIWindowsLook.dll in the application directory?

hi,

yes i do.

here is what i have done:
I am using Ogre 1.2 (Dagon).
I am using OgreNewt from the Ogre CVS.
I am NOT using CEGUI SDK because Dagon comes with CEGUI headers/libs/dlls.
Downloaded source code for stunt playground.
Changed getSceneManager to createSceneManager in walaberApplication.h (because i am using Dagon).
Changed mDirtParticles and mSparkParticles to mSceneMgr->createParticleSystem("SparkParticles", "WalaberSparkTest") in StuntPlaygroundApplication.cpp, as shown in a forum thread (the sticky one).
Added mSceneMgr as the last argument to mGUIRenderer constructor.

Build it, no problems. Run it, it AVs. Note, it does actually display the Black Window for a few secs before it AVs.

what i will do is delete all the CEGUI stuff from Ogre SDK and use the CEGUI SDK instead. i will post results in a little while.

agghhhhhh!

i get the same AV after building from source!

thats is, i rebuilt everything from source. StuntPlayground requires CEGUI, CEGUI requires FMOD, Xerces, FreeType and Irlicht, and Irlicht requires Glut.lib...i have just spent the last million hours compiling everything from source, and still i get the same AV. not sure what else to do now.

the only thing i have not built from source is Ogre and Newton, they are SDKs on my machine. looks like i will have to try using source instead, but i wouldnt have thought that would cause an AV.

Er... for note, those other libraries for CEGUI are not necessary unless you are building the demo's as well...

Build the game in debug (or release with debug symbols) and give us the details about the av such as the location, the stack trace, etc... etc...
