SGDK Version 2 => Help, Errors, FAQ => Topic started by: billybob884 on 2007-01-23, 04:42:41 PM

Hi, hows everyone been? i downloaded the alpha version of sgdk2 and it opens up the shfl project file fine, but when i go to run the project, it brings up a blank window and an error message saying: Error while opening the display: Error in the application.
Ive tried redownloading and reinstalling sgdk, but to no avail.
-
I cannot run the included project either. but for a different reason. When I try to run the project I get a log viewer window inside SGDK2 which says
SHFL\MapBase.cs(65,16) : warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
SHFL\Controls.cs(51,10) : warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
SHFL\fmodbase.cs(82,10) : warning CS0168: The variable 'ex' is declared but never used
SHFL\TileSpecialization.cs(11,19) : warning CS0169: The private field 'CustomObjects.TileSpecialization.state' is never used
error CS0016: Could not write to output file 'c:\Program Files\SGDK2\Library\Projects\SHFL\SHFL.exe' -- 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. '
-
Jam0864, it looks like you just ran the project twice without closing it in between. The first time you ran it, it created the SHFL folder and the EXE file, but you didn't see it run for whatever reason, so you tried to run it again, but it was already running so it couldn't overwrite the EXE file. Do you have SHFL.exe where it says you have one? What happens when you run it?
billybob884, it sounds like you have the same problem as eric2222. I'm looking into this. It might help if you could do this:
1. Run dxdiag.exe (Select "Run" from the start menu and type dxdiag.exe, then click OK).
2. Click on the "Display" tab
3. Tell me everything that shows up in the "Drivers" frame, and the Name, Manufacturer and Chip Type from the "Device" frame.
Eric2222, if you could do the same, I'd appreciate it.
-
Name: Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip Type: Intel(R) 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset
-
And what about the contents of the "Drivers" frame?
I went to see if there were updated video drivers for your video hardware and found some astonishingly recent drivers that you almost certainly don't have. They were apparently released last week, so you might want to go to Intel's web site, download these latest drivers (http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=1764&DwnldID=12536&strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Home%20Edition&lang=eng), and see if this changes the behavior of SGDK2.
-
Yes SHFL.exe is where it says it is. I restarted the computer and reopened SGDK2 and I got
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id=Oxdfc (3580), Thread id=0xe00 (3584).
Click ok to terminate the application.
Click cancel to debug the application.
Restarting my computer must have deleted SHFL.exe
-
Jam0864, are you able to use the map editor?
-
heres a screenshot (lol sry, im lazy)

-
Jam0864, are you able to use the map editor?
Yes, and It's pretty cool.
-
Those who are having errors with the map editor must be having errors because the display is not being created with the correct parameters. I'm not sure how to figure that out at the moment. I downloaded the latest DirectX SDK and am trying to figure out how to properly use DirectX. I thought I was, but apparently not. Any help is appreciated, if there are any DirectX experts out there.
If you *can* use the map editor but can't run the sample project, then something else is probably wrong. Jam0864, what happens if you run the sample project in debug mode and click "Cancel" to debug when it offers? If it says you need a debugger, you might have to download the .NET Framework SDK 1.1 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b3a2ca6-3647-4070-9f41-a333c6b9181d&DisplayLang=en), but that's a rather large download (100+ MB). If that's not worth your while, we'll have to find other ways to investigate the problem. One thing you could try without downloading the .NET SDK is adding a few lines of code to the sample project to get more detail about the error.
- Load the sample project into the IDE, and Open the "SourceCode" folder
- Open the "GameForm.cs" file
- Find "public void Run()"
- Insert a new line between the "{" and the "int coopCode;":
try { - Find "GameDisplay.Device.Present();". There should be three "}" within the following 4 lines. Before the last one add this (noting that the first "}" should correspond to the "{" added after the try above):
}
catch(System.Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
After you add that, try running the project again and see if it gives you more detail about the error.
-
I got,
SHFL\MapBase.cs(65,16) : warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
SHFL\Controls.cs(51,10) : warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
SHFL\GameForm.cs(210,5) : error CS1003: Syntax error, 'try' expected
SHFL\fmodbase.cs(82,10) : warning CS0168: The variable 'ex' is declared but never used
I am guessing Unreachable code detected means I stuffed up putting this new code in. I am tired and can't concentrate properly right now so that is likely. (especialy when looking at lots of small writing in all different colours that I don't understand! LOL!!!) I'll try again tomorrow.
-
well Jam, either u did it right, or we both did it wrong the same way:
SHFL\MapBase.cs(65,16) : warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
SHFL\Controls.cs(51,10) : warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
SHFL\GameForm.cs(210,2) : error CS1003: Syntax error, 'try' expected
SHFL\fmodbase.cs(82,10) : warning CS0168: The variable 'ex' is declared but never used
-
Well, we must have done it right then. Very surprising as I could barely read the writing. I don't have very good sight, especially when it's dark and I'm tired. look at the hompage for the forum Most Online Ever: 53 that is like double what it was a month ago. Must be due to SGDK2 alpha release. Imagine when SGDK2 is completely finished!
-
Maybe my instructions weren't clear. Did you add a line that says "try {" where I said to?
And do the last few lines of that function look line this?
}
Application.DoEvents();
}
}
catch(System.Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
}
-
No, I added { When you said to add try { I thought you meant to try adding { I 'll try it now
-
Got this,
SHFL\MapBase.cs(65,16) : warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
SHFL\Controls.cs(51,10) : warning CS0162: Unreachable code detected
SHFL\GameForm.cs(210,18) : error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Exceptionex' does not exist in the class or namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
SHFL\GameForm.cs(210,47) : error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'ex' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
SHFL\fmodbase.cs(82,10) : warning CS0168: The variable 'ex' is declared but never used
-
Check your code again; maybe you should copy and paste :). You missed a space between the "Exception" and "ex".
Also, I've got another way to get info about DirectX errors that might even be better. Eric2222, you can try this too:
- In Control Panel, open the DirectX applet (if you don't have it, you can get it from http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Microsoft-DirectX-Control-Panel.shtml (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Microsoft-DirectX-Control-Panel.shtml)).
- On the Direct3D tab, move the "Debug Output Level" slider all the way to the right. (Also try seleccting "Use Debg Version of Direct3D" if that's an option for you.)
- Download the "debug viewer" application from sysinternals (recently acquired by Microsoft, so you can trust them as much as you can trust your OS at least :)): http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/DebugView.mspx (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/DebugView.mspx) -- at the bottom there's a link to download the ZIP file.
- Extract and run the Debug Viewer application (it's a stand-alone exe).
- Run the SGDK2 sample project
- Check the Debug Viewer for messages about DirectX failures. Post pieces that you think might be applicable here.
-
ok, i put it in with the try {, and it no longer gives me the unreachable stuff, all it says is the original error message of error while opening display:...
-
Try the other process described above of getting the Debug View application and turning on the debug output of DirectX. Those messages will probably help me more anyway.
-
- In Control Panel, open the DirectX applet (if you don't have it, you can get it from http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Microsoft-DirectX-Control-Panel.shtml (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Microsoft-DirectX-Control-Panel.shtml)).
k got it
- On the Direct3D tab, move the "Debug Output Level" slider all the way to the right. (Also try seleccting "Use Debg Version of Direct3D" if that's an option for you.)
cant do this, its all grayed out
- Download the "debug viewer" application from sysinternals (recently acquired by Microsoft, so you can trust them as much as you can trust your OS at least :)): http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/DebugView.mspx (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/DebugView.mspx) -- at the bottom there's a link to download the ZIP file.
- Extract and run the Debug Viewer application (it's a stand-alone exe).
- Run the SGDK2 sample project
- Check the Debug Viewer for messages about DirectX failures. Post pieces that you think might be applicable here.
ok did all that and it didnt log anything from the error.
waht i did notice is that i tried editing the level 1 map, and it gave me teh same error as when i try to run the project, but then when i try to close sgdk2, it says
An unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.

I went into the Pre-alpha 6 version of SGDK2 and tried to open the SHFL included in that release. Surprisingly it worked, I could run the game but only the one that came with Pre-alpha 6. I then remembered I had Pre-alpha 8 lying around. So I opened that and tried to open the SHFL included in that release. This time it didn't work and it came up with

I'm working on some code modifications this weekend that will hopefully change/fix the problem. But when I think about it, I don't see how it will because I still can't figure out 1) why the map editor would work, but not the game; 2) Why the game would fail even in windowed mode, which doesn't have many options so it's hard for me to screw it up. Maybe the problem doesn't have anything to do with DirectX after all.
If the "try { } catch { }" didn't work in the Run function, let's try it in an earlier function.
1) Find "public GameForm"
2) Add "try {" between "{" and "InitializeComponent();"
3) Add this between "GameDisplay.WindowedChanged += new EventHandler(GameDisplay_WindowedChanged);" and "}":
}
catch(System.Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
I'll hopefully have a new SHFL.sgdk2 project for you to test later today.
-
OK, if those having problems could download SGDK2Test.zip from http://enigmadream.com/gamedev/ (http://enigmadream.com/gamedev/) I hope this update to SGDK2IDE.exe and SHFL.sgdk2 will help give us more insight into the problem (or if we're lucky, fix it for some people). Thanks for your patience and helping to work out these problems!
-
its no problem at all. i only wish i could be of more help for this wonderful program.
unfortunately, this 'update' didn't change anything, i'm getting the exact same errors as before, doesn't seem to have fixed/changed anything. sorry!
also, nothing logged in the DebugView thing
-
I just got heaps of stuff with the test thing

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

Jam0864, did you not put the updated files in the directories where they belong (replacing the existing files, or next to the existing versions renamed)?
-
No, I thought you just extracted them and ran them. But now I have replaced the old files with the new ones and got http://www.box.net/public/ulzuvs0yp6 I couldn't be stuffed copying it out as the error message was quite large.
-
You have your old files in a directory called SGDK2Test? According to the error message, that's where it's loading the project from. And it can't find Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll (and probably the other DirectX dlls it's looking for). Do you have that file? I think it should have been installed into the SGDK2 directory by the alpha installer.
-
I updated the SGDK2Test.zip file on http://enigmadream.com/gamedev/ (http://enigmadream.com/gamedev/). It won't change your results, Jam0864, until you get the files in the right place.
Billybob884, you should really get at least a slightly different error message this time. And if we're lucky it will be a helpful error message with details about where the error occurred. And if we're really lucky, you won't get the error message. In any case, billybob884, tell me what happens with both the map editor and the SHFL project when you try to run it. (Re-summarize your current results because I'm not sure I have a good idea of what you're seeing based only on your past messages.)
-
oo! it all works now! both the run project and the map editor! the only thing i cant figure out is how to jump in the test game ;)
-
Woohoo! Ah yes, in order to demonstrate that the "Up" key isn't hard-coded to jumping any more, I made the Ctrl key be the jump key in this project. Up is used to climb ladders in that project.
Note to self: DirectX does not automatically gracefully degrade from hardware vertex processing to software vertex processing, and hardware vertex processing is not supported on some video cards still in common usage. Telling DirectX to use software vertex processing makes SGDK2 work better.
So you gonna have some fun now? :)
-
heh, if you mean my own game, maybe someday. i had always thought about making a sequel to chameleon man, im just not sure i have the drive to undertake such a project right now, especially with the development engine still in alpha ;).
as far as the demo goes, im glad its working, i explored it a little, and only have 2 real comments; one, i noticed that you have to actually hit the jump button to make the spring launch you, im not sure if this was the original intent, or if you juts didnt worry about it since this is more of a 'proof of concept' project; and 2, in the 2 player example, player 2 is drawn over player 1 in both views, there should be a way to make player 1 be on top in view 1, and player 2 be on top in view 2. just my 2 cents (or if any of you have heard about the verizon math problem, $0.02) :)
-
It turned out I was just loading the wrong SHFL. I downloaded the update, replaced the files. And loaded the right SHFL. and I still got the same thing. Yes I do have Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll am I meant to have two of them, because I do.
-
Well, Jam0864, you weren't getting that error before, were you? Can you get back to a state where you aren't getting that error?
-
heh, if you mean my own game, maybe someday.
Naw, not with the alpha; just talking about fiddling with the sample project or seeing if you can figure out how things work even without documentation.
i noticed that you have to actually hit the jump button to make the spring launch you
Yeah, that was intentional. I think I've seen a few games where you bounce on a spring, but you can jump much higher if you jump from it.
in the 2 player example, player 2 is drawn over player 1 in both views, there should be a way to make player 1 be on top in view 1, and player 2 be on top in view 2.
D'oh, I hadn't thought of that, but that would be nice. I wonder if I can think of a good way to do that. Or maybe I should just not allow the players to overlap.
-
Yeh, reinstalling SGDK2 gets me the error I had at the start. When I update it with the new one I get the other error. (The one I saved as an image.)
-
This doesn't make sense. Are you just replacing one file in the SGDK2 folder? SGDK2IDE.exe? Why would it be unable to find DirectX after doing that if the previous one in the same place could find it? Can you tell me exactly what you did after installing the original SGDK2 alpha in order to "replace" the files... how you extracted the files, how you moved the files, and where you moved them to... and what you did with the old files?
-
hmm, no i think its good that they can overlap, but i can see situations in games where both overlapping and collisions would be nice. speaking of which, will collisions between sprites be better in sgdk2? i mean in terms of solidity, because i remember this being a little messy in 1.0, where sometimes you would partly go through a sprite defined as one u should bounce off of, and the two would move together for a while before separating.

I downloaded the test thing. Right-click, extract all. You get a folder SGDK2Test (normal not compressed) I Highlighted all the files in that folder, copied them into the folder that was installed earlier. (SGDK2) Then I dragged them into the folders their meant to be in. (SGDK2IDE in SGDK2, SHFL in projects and I put the SHFL folder in the projects folder.) For each file it asked me if I wanted to replace the existing file with the new one. I clicked Yes. Ran SGDK2IDE, Open project, SHFL, Run Project, Then error thing.
-
What versions of Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll (make sure to get the one with the "X" on the end) do you have in which locations on your machine? It appears to be looking for 1.0.2911.0. I'm especially interested in the version that's in the SGDK2 folder.
-
Version 9.12.589.0 came with SGDK2. If it's looking for 1.0.2911.0 then that might have been installed by Counter-Strike Source.
-
Is there an "Assembly Version" you can check somewhere in the details instead of the version at the top?
-
What do you mean by that?
-
I checked myself and there wasn't an easy way to get the version I was looking for. So instead, I suggest you retrieve the file "GetAssemblyVersion.zip" from http://www.enigmadream.com/gamedev/ (http://www.enigmadream.com/gamedev/). Then extract and run GetAssemblyVersion.exe from it and run it. Use it to locate your Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll file and see what it says for the name/version in the lower right corner.
-
I'm still stumped by your problem Jam0864. I haven't changed anything about the relationship between SGDK2 and DirectX DLLs between the time I released the alpha and the updated version. Are you sure the version that you had installed before replacing SGDK2IDE.exe was the alpha (and the DirectX files that came with it)? Hopefully you will get a chance to try GetAssemblyVersion and find every copy of Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll that you can and see what versions you have. There might be a few copies in Windows\Assembly whose versions you can find even without GetAssemblyVersion (if you use Windows Explorer), so check on that too.
-
GetAssemblyVersion says 1.0.2911.0. came with SGDK2. Which is the one it's looking for.
-
And which folder was that in? Do you have a copy of Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll next to SHFL.exe in the SHFL folder where SHFL.sgdk2 is? If not, that's a problem, but try copying it into there and then running SHFL.exe to see if that makes it work. If you didn't have one there, we'll have to figure out why it didn't get copied in there.
-
I only had one in the SGDK2 folder not next to SHFL. It all works now, even without the update! One question, how does the second player jump?
-
the left shift key

If you have a joystick or gamepad, the second player is controlled with that and jumps using button 1 on that controller. Otherwise, it's probably Shift as mentioned above. You can see all the controls in the Tools->Options dialog of the game at runtime.
-
Hopefully this attachment works...
When I try to run the sample project for Alpha Release 2 I get this message. Is this because I need certain files from previous releases? Before downloading this one I uninstalled everything from previous SGDK2 releases.
-
Same error I have when trying to run the project I made.
-
It appears that it's looking for your DirectX files in the SGDK2\Library\Projects\SHFL\ folder and not finding them. Either they are supposed to be there and are not being copied as they should be, or are supposed to be found elsewhere (i.e. in the GAC). The quickest solution would be to copy all of your DirectX files from the SGDK2 directory into the SGDK2\Library\Project\SHFL directory.
-
Thanks a lot. I was able to run it now. For some reason the SHFL folder was missing 2 out of the 7(?) Direct X objects.
