Re: R: [Plib-devel] Update on 3ds loader

[Wolfram K. <w_...@rz...>]

My problem is not that something is loaded too often
or some texture is not found, but that it crashes because it is 
dereferencing an invalid pointer.

I am working under (on??) Windows NT.
It crashes while loading chevy.3ds because it tries to
reference an undefined pointer (the hex address is cdcdcdcd,
which is Visual C++ way of saying bad pointer).

I set a break point in parse_material and another one in 
parse_mapname.
The first three times it finds a breakpoint is in
parse_material. Then it goes into parse_mapname.
num_materials is three.

mat_tfnames is obviously a array of pointers. The array is defined.
However, the pointers are not.

MAYBE the first three materials are un-textured,
the texturenames are therefore not defined and when it 
finds the first mapname it tries to compare it to the undefined,
previous ones?

Are you (Per/Paolo) working under Windo$?

Paolo, shall I send you the file?

Per, have you looked at the newest CVS-code, perhaps 
it is different from the code you have? Do you use MSVC 6?
Do you do a debug build?

Bye bye,
Wolfram.
