I'm just starting with Sparky's collision DLL V2.
But I have a problem with it.
When I run the examples they all work.
But when I use it in my code it always crashes.
So I made a little test program which you can see here, and have the same problem with it.



I have attached the program with resources.

Can it be because the terrain has to many polygons?
It has 33000 poly's.

It crashes when I call my "GetObjectHeight" function, which uses "sc_intersectobject", if I replace it with the command of DBP it works.

Or is it because I use the trail version of DBP.

Sorry this isn't answering your question but that is quite high poly so it could be causeing it. However I don't have Sparkys DLL so I'm not that sure. Also shouldn't this be in DLL Talk because its about DLL's. Forgive me if i'm worng

For a terrain, 33000 poly's is not much

it might be that the trial of dbp isnt the latest version?

Don't worry about that too much.

I think that this is the common problem caused by not including a memblock command in your code. Put a 'MAKE MEMBLOCK 1, 1' at the end of your code out of the way - you might want to put an END command just before it too so that the line can't run.

This will cause the DLL that deals with memblocks to be loaded, as Sparky's DLL requires the memblocks to work correctly.

[EDIT]Oops! That'll teach me to read the code before I post - you are already ensuring that the DLL is included. Forget I said anything about that

The problem is the number of poly's - memblock meshes (which the DLL uses) are limited to a maximum of 21845 poly's (that's 65535 vertices at 3 vertices per poly).

Something is wrong with your .x model.
The code works for me when i use a good model.

Indeed it was the polycount that caused it.
With a terrain with lower polycount it works perfect.

I didn't knew that it was limited on 21845 poly's.
