Honestly i'm not sure, I havent had this error before and im working with dx11 too. Hmm.
Ok ive sorted a quick patch for you let me know if it works out. It also includes the jumping feature.

Thanks kind sir, will try the patch, for some information that might help holy on this error as well, all of his tools also have that same error, I already tried to put the missing DLL in my DLL cashe, and that did not solve the issue. Man I really hope I don't need to set up an xp machine?..........

Now my only question is......? Once I complete a title, will windows 7 and 8 users have setup issues such as this, and will Holy divers ex correct these issues?       

Thanks again .................. ML

I had the error on my win7, just drop d3drm.dll into wherever you use your tools. Dont forget that John has made a tool to do all manner of file conversions you might not have seen it yet.

You need D3DX libraries. I don't recommend packing those into your game unless you are putting it on a CD. If you ever install a retail game on your computer it will almost definitely install them. Otherwise you must find them elsewhere.

EDITED: There are links on the bottom of this (http://www.swordofmoonlight.net/ex/diy/) page.

Hey Ben Help me my friend..... Can't get your demo to work sir ....... I get a window with press any key.... then I "new begginng" then I get a crash.... Here is the error  AppName: rath_demo_12.bin    AppVer: 0.0.0.0    ModName: rath_demo_12.bin
ModVer: 0.0.0.0    Offset: 00046781

Any ideas..... Also on the Ex side, I was installing Ex according to Divers's page instructions and when I got to the Setup.bat I get a " UTF.bom" is missing and is required to continue...... can you tell me where to get that file or what the heck I am doing wrong Thank you a ton :) really want to see your work.....

One last thing will other folks have difficulties with my project like this,if I build using the Ex enviroment. Cause if so Tor and Tara don't need to jump that bad like talking about it, I mean they can walk, they got legs  I ain't saying' I'm just saying 

I mean I asked him for some advice on how to properly set up his SoMex project, and he basicly told me, he has no time for infidels such as I and to pound sand, and read his instructions. Well he didn't exactly tell me to pound sand, but you know same lovable guy :-) you and John swear by his stuff, and I trust both of you 100%.....  and I am sure that I am just missing a little step.   I hope you have the 5 or 6 minutes to maybey tell me in basic terms, what the heck I am doing wrong...... Thanks Ben ...
