After your edit it still gives me errors:

You code has alot of errors:

I have seen an array struct in C that can hold data even if they are a different type. I forgot what that code was and I don't have the code on me at the moment. So I was wondering if anyone could...

I fixed that one two, but now when I enter "spawn BaseEntity" it outputs this 11 times:

BaseEntity::OnSpawn( ): This class does not have a OnSpawn function.

Any more help would be appreciated.

I fixed that error by having this instead of the split_string function:

std::string strBuf;
std::stringstream sStream( strCommand );
while ( sStream >> strBuf )
vInputs.push_back(...

I enter "spawn BaseEntity"(without the quotes) and it gives me the error.

This is my split_string function:


void split_string(const std::string& str, std::vector<std::string>& tokens, const...

So does that mean that I have a problem with my split_string function?

Ok thanks, that fixed the Stack Overflow error.
But now I get the Vector Supscript out of Range error, so I put a check in so that it wouldn't try to do anything if the sm_vBaseEntities vector was...

Why isn't the #define making it better?

What is smart pointers?

what does that mean and how do u do it?

I don't enter anything, when I run it, after about 2 seconds, it comes up with that Stack Overflow error.

When I try to run my program( which is a test entity system for anyone who's wondering ), I get a Stack Overflow error, and I cannot find the source of this error.

Here is my code:

C#, Python or similar languages are good for attaining goals in the short term, when I did Python, I did it for about a quarter of a year, then got bored. But now I have been doing C++ for almost 2...

Bump.

Can someone please take a look at my code so I can get this part over and done with so I can continue making my engine.

Ok, So I'm trying to create a 3D engine with DirectX 9, and I have run into a runtime error that says "Stack overflow". When I encountered this, I thought that it might have came from a for loop, so...

I agree, I think that most if not all software should be open-source, it would create a more bug-free world haha.

Nah, if you look at the site, the paid part teaches you all this:

Direct3D Textures
Direct3D Meshes
Game Display
Game Input
Game Development
Advanced Effects
Particle Engines
Multiplayer

No, I can't as I do not have the Model class definition. (:

I have been doing that tutorial, the free part anyway haha.
Model probably is a class that you get to write in the 3D Meshes tutorial in that, which you have to pay for :(

Your code give these errors when I try to compile:

How do I load 3D meshes from a .x file, and extract the material data from it? Also, how do I apply a texture to the loaded mesh?

How do I load 3D models that are in the .x format from DirectX 9?
I am trying to make a simple engine and this is the part where I am stuck at.

Hey man thanks for your posts, they have helped me alot to reach the next stage of my project. Just if you're wondering, I am making a Text-based SUD(Single User Dungeon). Thanks again mate.

Making it static didn't work, I'll attach the project in a .zip.

Bump, This is kinda urgent by the way.

That was just an error by me when copying and pasting it.
This is what it looks now:

std::vector<BaseEnt> entities(MAX_ENTITIES);

MAX_ENTITIES is a macro with the value of 100000.

Any help...

Bump.

When I try to compile my code, I get this error:

When I try to compile this:

char name = *varname;
switch(name)

return (void*)id;

What?
This is what I wanna do:


void print_something(const char *val, ...)
{
//the val part can have things like this in it:
//%1, %2 and so forth, and then those parts get...

How do I access the paramaters entered after param1?

Like this:

void foo(param1, ...);

How do I access the ... part?

I did that, and now it compiles, but now when I run it I get this:
Unhandled exception at 0x00419537 in TheAlienEngine.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack overflow.

And it points to this:
