An error that won't let me even see the game at all - Poyzin - 24-05-2008
Okay. I have just set up the server. Created account, character. Woo! Time to log in!
UH! Error!? I get an error. Click debug. It's hi-lighting this:
Sub InitDirectX()
' Initialize direct draw
> Set DD = DX.DirectDrawCreate("")
frmMirage.Show
' Indicate windows mode application
Call DD.SetCooperativeLevel(frmMirage.hWnd, DDSCL_NORMAL)
What do I do??? (it's for build 3.03)

I used what you gave me and when I log in it gives me an error then hi-lights the first "Public"
any ideas?
Re: An error that won't let me even see the game at all - Ramsey - 25-05-2008
Change 'Public' to 'Dim'
Re: An error that won't let me even see the game at all - Poyzin - 25-05-2008
This is bad...
now
Set DD = DX.DirectDrawCreate(vbNullString)
is hi-lighted
ROFL..i dont get it...but yes, dim works

Don't add tutorials you don't understand.
Replace:
Code:
Set DD = DX.DirectDrawCreate(vbNullString)With:
Code:
Set DD = DX.DirectDrawCreate("")Re: An error that won't let me even see the game at all - Poyzin - 25-05-2008
Yea. I figured it out..I have to register the directx7 DLL..and I didn't add any tutorials, 3.0.3 came this way.
Re: An error that won't let me even see the game at all - Robin - 25-05-2008
3.0.3 does not come with:
Code:
Set DD = DX.DirectDrawCreate(vbNullString)Believe me.
Re: An error that won't let me even see the game at all - Poyzin - 25-05-2008
Hmm..Okay. When I get back, I'll redownload...but I also think I know what happened just by thinking about it. I downloaded 3.0.3 before, added a bunch of tutorials, then messed it up the same way. I deleted it, sending it to the recycling bin, download all versions, trying them out, deleted them.now when I redownloaded 3.0.3, it opened the tutorial infested one. So, I gotta permanently delete all of them, restart, then redownload. ^^

Believe me.
His first post says
Code:
Set DD = DX.DirectDrawCreate("")Re: An error that won't let me even see the game at all - Coke - 26-05-2008
I don't think he has dx7 installed, When I saw he had written vbnullstring in a later post I was going to mention it but Robin beat me too it ^_^
And Dave, certain things don't like vbnullstring - dunno why, guessing because "" is actually a physical null string, and vbnullstring is just 'I am nothing don't bother even trying to address me in memory' or something similar?
