I made an engine on win2k but I have a problem with pointers like this winmain... { EGX_Param* param; param->bUsePak = true; ... and when I compile, it comes a mistake, that I win2k cant use external memory. how can I solve this problem? thx

to do what you want to do, you need to allocate the memory for the structure yourself. eg

winmain...
{
EGX_Param* param;
param = malloc( sizeof( EGX_Param ) );
param->bUsePak = true;
...

i think that''s right. i don''t use malloc much.

===========================
The price of intelligence is stupidity

You need to allocate memmory first, but don''t do it with malloc,
do it with the new operator. Like this :

param = new EGX_param;

Depends on if he uses C or C++.

I get still many problems
i took the pak loader code into my engine from my old engine which works very well on WinME but now...I get lots of mistakes where pointers are...but online here

void GX_Pak::gxLoadPak(PAK_File* pak,...)
{
...
pak->name = filename; // there is the mistakes but wkrs very well on WinMe
...

I could jump down the grand canon!

and sorry for my evry bad english! it is 1:00 and i''m full with lots of alcohol

thx
