Title: Direct X?
Post by: DUpheaul on September 09, 2007, 05:50:34 pm
Okay, I am completely new at editing meshes for the Sims (although I have used Milkshape before, but that's beside the point)... Anyway, I was following one of the lovely tutorials here (This One (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=3991)) as a good starting point, and I got to step 6 or so, where you find the mesh you need (I think), and when I tried to open it, I got a big angry warning yelling at me, saying, "WARNING: You need to install MANAGED DirectX!!!"

*well, maybe without the exclamation marks, but the capitaliation is all true to word*

Anyway. That is where I am stuck...

Anyone else have this problem? Or, better, know what I can do about it?

*looks hopefully around*

Thanks. :)

(Man, this bit of the forum is so near the bottom it's a wonder anyone might come down here. Maybe they're lost when they do? :P)

I got that message too when I first started to make meshes, you should also have a url with the message. Go to that url and there is a link on that page to download DirectX.

There wasn't a URL when I got the message. :( I know, because I clicked on things several times, just to make sure. :P I think I've just about memorised the error message. :(

This is the link to install Managed DirectX: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/simpe/simpe_mdxredist.msi?use_mirror=osdn
