Empty Render SubSystem

I checked the steps and everything is correct and in the folder. I am trying to do the first Tutorial for VB and it doesn't show anything in the "Render subsystem" dropdown.

Can anyone suggest anything please?

Thanks,

Make sure your plugin.cfg looks something like this:
# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=.

# Define plugins
Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL
and that it is inside the output dir together with the RenderSystem dlls.
If you're using the debug version add the '_d' suffix.

Mine looks like

# Define plugin folder
PluginFolder=C:\OgreSDK\bin\release

# Define plugins
Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL

Which is what the tutorial says to do...

That's fine if 'C:\OgreSDK\bin\release' exists and the dlls are in that folder.
Check the log file for errors.

Yes it does exist and I looked at the log and it says ogre.cfg can't be found... I looked in the Ogre SDK Bin AND Mogre SDK Bin but it doesn't exist in either so will look at the other folders now.

The PluginFolder should point to the Mogre SDK, you don't need the Ogre SDK (the plugins don't work with Mogre).

ogre.cfg is created by the config dialog.

OMFG.

Thank you sooooooo soooooo sooooo much. That was driving me mad.

Guess that ogre.log is really really useful and I should learn to read it before posting daft questions on here.
Thanks Smiley
