Here's the deal:
I started with the Demo_Terrain.h file in the Demo Downloads from the OGRE website. I Build the file and it succeeds with no errors. I go to the debug folder and run the application. Everything works fine except for the texture problem mentioned above.
I'm using Visual C++ Express Edition and the correct corresponding OGRE on Vista. I've checked all the code pertaining to the terrain.cfg file and the textures and compared with another classmates working files. Everything pertaining to the textures are the same. I've tried with and without the model I have inserted into the file and I have the same result. No textures are displayed, with the terrain texture doing that crazy flashing thing, but is besides that, white.
Can anyone give me any help on this? Here's the terrain.h code I have so far:
And here's the terrain.cfg code:#include "ExampleApplication.h"
SceneNode *PewNode;
Entity *Pew;
Entity *Test;
RaySceneQuery* raySceneQuery = 0; //ask Bruce??
// Event handler to add ability to alter curvature

TerrainFrameListener(RenderWindow* win, Camera* cam)

// Reduce move speed
mMoveSpeed = 50;
}
bool frameStarted(const FrameEvent& evt)
{
if( ExampleFrameListener::frameStarted(evt) == false )
return false;
// clamp to terrain
static Ray updateRay;
updateRay.setOrigin(mCamera->getPosition());
updateRay.setDirection(Vector3::NEGATIVE_UNIT_Y);
raySceneQuery->setRay(updateRay);
RaySceneQueryResult& qryResult = raySceneQuery->execute();
RaySceneQueryResult::iterator i = qryResult.begin();
if (i != qryResult.end() && i->worldFragment)
{
mCamera->setPosition(mCamera->getPosition().x,
i->worldFragment->singleIntersection.y + 10,
mCamera->getPosition().z);
}
return true;
}
};

All of the texture files are in the right places. Any help? I'm desperate at this point and am willing to try just about anything short of downgrading my OS (not enough money to get a copy of XP# The main world texture (if you wish the terrain manager to create a material for you)
