Found maybe a posible reason for my problems...not sure but maybe it is:
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=116888#p116888
I'm using directX 9.0c, so it's no longer supported?

Hmm...yes, that may be the problem. I'm using DirectX11, so that may cause the problem

Rhys, that's what I've already posted weeks ago.

You have a space in the path, dunno if that is the issue. Try putting it on desktop or something.

It could be, didn't look at your error but I have a laptop running Windows Vista (I can't get any Linux Distro to work with it yet) and Minetest refuses to work on it. Nothing but constant errors no matter where I ran it from. Gave up half a year ago or so.

I see. So I'll just have to stick with the pain in the backside - have annoying wrong images...

[Krock]

That's not the problem, my minetest is at @E:\Programme\Minetest\ (which does not contain any space, as you can see)

I think this has something to do with the DirectX version, I've updated to 10 (edited version for WinXP) but the error still occurs, maybe try this with DirectX 11?

I do not get the point you are making. I meant having a space in the path may CAUSE it, so I am not sure what you are trying to say by showing that a path without spaces may work- that is that what I was trying to say all along. Not that it helped Rhys in the end.

I have recompiled the Irrlicht library again, so it would be nice if you try it again. But i fear that this is wont help to solve the problem...

BlockMen, I think both your "Wastland" mod and the lastest build "Minetest 0.4.7-dev17112013" are great! I'm quite impress with your work and look forward to see what else you come up with. Your doing a hell of a job for Minetest and please keep up the work!

There was one issue in the latest build that I ran into and wanted to let you know about so the next build will be better. It was a small issue that I'm sure most of the veterans here resolved in no time, but can create newbies like me a major headache. The problem was "no sound". It took me sometime to figure out that your lastest build (don't know if the previous one's had or have the same issue) was missing the "wrap_oal.dll" driver in the bin folder. I copied one from Minetest 0.4.7 (stable) and the sound works again. I've attached to this reply in case someone doesn't have the minetest stable build.

Anyway, I haven't had time to run into any other issues so far, but will let you know when I do. Also do you know whether or not your builds will have OpenAL64? Just wondering if it would be better or faster since Windows 7 and 8 emulate 32bit, which does cause a small slow down.

Well that's all I wanted to say and again Blockmen great job! Take care now!

1. "Doesn't work" tells everybody what the possible cause for it is (>.>)
2. "Access violation" and Direct3D9 crashes are very well known
3. We know about some crashes but none (I guess) had the texure problem yet, maybe try to override your texture pack again with the newet release
4. [color} tags with HEX numbers need a '#' before the HEX numbers, like {color=#FF0000]text[/color}
5. There is an edit 'link' under your post.

6. I know I'm really new here but I was on multiple other forums, so please don't think about my less posts: 'newbie, you can't say me anyting??? you know nothing!!!' :)

Hmm..wasnt expecting that it would be needed if OpenAL is installed correct on pc. But thx, i will include the library in future releases. And i dont think they will have OpenAL64 ;)

Which advantages does DirectX have?

well it is much better then LUA api it is C#'s Graphics side
meaning it is better
its powerr is kinda like openGL
or Direct3d
meaning if you need any thing like 2 things in 1 hand use DirectX

<semi-ironic>..And this, kids, is the result of Microsoft's propaganda that everyone should use DirectX and it is better.</semi-ironic>
Also Direct3D and DirectX are the same thing.
And "well it is much better then LUA api it is C#'s Graphics side" does not make any sense.

For me following difference:
OpenGL: ~40 FPS
Direct3d9: ~65 FPS

How is that propaganda?
