MOGRE ; SetWorldGeometry ; terrain.cfg --> Access Violati

Hello Guys,

i started programming with MOGRE. I did the Ogre Tutorials well, and now, i wants to use it without the MogreFramework.dll.

But this results in an AccessViolation, when trying to load the terrain.cfg
in this line


mgr.SetWorldGeometry("C:\\ogresdk\\media\\terrain.cfg");


I am using VS 2005 Team Edition and it's saying: "Es wurde versucht, im geschützten Speicher zu lesen oder zu schreiben. Dies ist häufig ein Hinweis darauf, dass anderer Speicher beschädigt ist."

Its German, but means, that its trying to read/write to protected memory. Which is often a hint, that memory is defect. (Sorry, for my bad english!!)

Can someone give my at least a hint, what i am doing wrong?

cheers,
Christian

I'm having the same problem. I can't find anyone trying to solve this.

Try creating the terrain after you have created the viewport.
To render the terrain Ogre needs a camera to calculate the errormetrics and I guess it uses the viewport to fetch the used camera.

Also make sure the heightmap image is found.

I created the terrain after the viewport and after reading in the resource config file.

Sure enough, it works fine.

Thanks very much.

Now, how do I add a collsion response to the camera like the demo had?

Also, the terrain seems to warp a little more when you move the camera than the demo did, is there some setting to adjust, perhaps LOD that will stop it from warping.

Thanks
