That's interesting, I was under the impression that loading gfx_directx.dll would silently fail if its dependencies weren't available. Luckily, it's quite simple to check in backends.bas whether d3dx9_41.dll (the august 2009, I think, release of the Direct3D 9 utility library) is present before attempting to load gfx_direct.dll, and I was originally planning to do. _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
