Try moving it into the project directory. Although your executable is in the DEBUG directory...I think the project directory is the current working directory when the program lights off. You might also try checking to see if the file exists before handing it off to the GDK code.

Also, make sure that the textures are in supported formats.

Yes, that is correct. You should also make sure that the textures are in the correct format in the bsp, which would be easy to verify in your map editor. I have forgotten that before, but in DBPro, it just fails to load textures that it can't find, or support.

Maps can have holes in them, even simple ones. Quark won't let you save a map with a hole in it, the compiler won't touch it.

The pk3 that you provided references a WAD file. Are you making a QII bsp? Also, two of the textures have characters prepended to them that I do not know what they mean...'{' and '!'.

At any rate, the .WAD file is not in your pk3.

GDK has the same bsp file that comes with DBPro, but it is not contained in a pk3, its just the bsp file.

Try using QIII format, I don't think it uses WAD files, or the WAL or PCX formats, which DBPro does not support.

I have found a similar issue, but I'm not sure if it is related. I updated my DBPro, and am working on a project that uses bsps.

When I tried to load the bsp as usual, it crashed with an error that looks alot like yours, which appears to be related to a NULL pointer issue. I decided to chop up my load cycle a little by inserting message boxes that would tell me where the code was at in the load process. I wanted to be sure it was not at the load bsp statement. My code loads the bsp, then sets bsp collision for the player and the camera only.

That fixed the crash, I assume by allowing a thread to complete its task, or allow a message to be processed. I saw a similar problem someone recently had when deleting an image.

I am looking into it some more, but I would suggest that you install some delays, at least...to see if it completes the load cycle in time for the rest of your code to work with it.

Okay, I think I've found the issue with my code, at least. In my case, I needed to call set display mode because I was reloading assets, and I don't think the DX device remained valid.

It makes me think that perhaps you are loading the bsp too soon in your startup. Could you move to later in the code?

Did you try using set display mode before loading it?

I think so. I'm at the wrong computer to check,but I used something to set it to 800x600, and that may have been it
