New body already attached

Hey everyone,
Im trying to get a small ODE world up and running and im running into a problem, im creating a new entity , attaching it to a scenenode , creating a new body, and then trying to attach it to the scenenode...too bad for some reason the new body is already attached??? Why? From what I can tell this has been asked about before and the only answer was to switch to a different compiler. Im using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express . Can anyone help?

have you created a geometry and called setBody()? I dont know if it works without it, maybe it doesnt, so you should give it a try. thats how i do it:

create scenenode
create entity
attach entity to scenenode
create geometry
create body
set body in geometry
attach body to scenenode

Thanks for the reply, and yeah I also create geometry and call setbody.I also moved the node->attachObject(body); to the end...and it still doesnt work. Any other suggestions?

show some code please

// Create the Ogre box
String name = String("Box_") + StringConverter::toString(numofboxs) + "_";;
Entity* box = sceneMgr->createEntity("box","cube.mesh");

numofboxs++;
box->setCastShadows(true);

SceneNode* node = sceneMgr->getRootSceneNode()->createChildSceneNode();
node->attachObject(box);
node->setScale(0.15,0.15,0.15);

// Set the position
Ogre::Vector3 pos(50 + x,130,50 + z);
node->setPosition(pos);

// Create a box for ODE and attach it to the Ogre version
OgreOde::Body* body = new Body(_world);
OgreOde::BoxGeometry* geom = new OgreOde::BoxGeometry(Vector3(1.5,1.5,1.5), _world, _world->getDefaultSpace());

geom->setBody(body);

body->setMass(OgreOde::BoxMass(0.5,Vector3(1.5,1.5,1.5)));

node->attachObject(body);

Its example code just edited a little.

well the code looks absolutely okay to me. it shouldnt be a problem with vc 8 ee because i use it too. the only thing i can now imagine is that your attach method is called twice for some reason?

Its only called once for the ent and once for the body. :/ Not sure what todo.

compile the demos and test them, do they work? thoroughly debug your code, check if the variables have the expected values etc. if the demos work (would really confuse me if they wouldnt) copy the code from there over to your app and change it step by step for your need.

The demos compile but all have the same 2 linker errors:

Edit: Which can be fixed by adding OIS_d.lib to additonal library files

SimpleScenes wont run cause it cant find material 1 - Default .
Right now trying to run landscape demo but I cant find landscape5.cfg ...
Found it...running landscape demo...I see it has given exception..

Landscape demo is now running...it only works if I run it using OpenGL though, when i try running it using Directx it gives exception that it failed to draw primitive.
