Failed to find d3dx8dll.dll error

by Nabarro · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/09/2009 (4:04 am) · 4 replies

I tried to make it run on DirectX8 device, but it had one error: "Failed to find d3dx8dll.dll".
Where to get d3dx8dll.dll? Does Torque 3D run normally on some low-end computer(for example, without DirectX9 or without shader support)?

Could anyone please give some tips or instructions? Very appreciated.

you can find it into the dll collection:
www.dll-files.com

DirectX 8.0 : SM 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2
DirectX 8.1 : SM 1.3 and 1.4

Sorry, it seems that there isn't d3dx8dll.dll file. I've searched it from internet and got no result. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks a lot.

I've tested T3D on an old P4 + Ati R360(sm2.0),DirectX 9 installed and it works only in basic lightning.
I found an information,that points d3dx8d.dll and d3dx8dll.dll is the same.

DX8 support is not in anymore in Beta3. That could be the source of the problem.
