PureBasic Forum

Hello to all,

MP is proudly to represent my version of Alpha (31) of the mp3d engine for Windows. A few will have already seen results from it. Please install DX9 before you use it. The library has been written in PureBasic. More as 169 demo files should be easier to get started. There is a installer and if you want you can copy only the directories in the Purebasic folder. The Purebasic version from 4.61 and upper is needed. I have made an English help text, but my english is poor and i hope somebody check it and send me a better one (i dont think anybody will do that). In a file you must activated "DX9" in compiler -> library subsystem

- what is the purpose?
To make 2D and 3d games and application without using a external dll file

- open / closed source?
closed source, when I'm tired to develop the engine i will published the code

- implementation through library, dll or include?
(tailbite) library

Have fun in the 2rd and 3rd dimension

What can I say? Looks perfect to me!

You have done a great job, and the examples are clear! I've been especially impressed by the shaders editor, and the possibility to edit textures on the fly!

Thank you very much!

Now I have to test further

hi blueznl,

i have actualized the first text with your questions and my answers and sends an screenshot of some demo files...

Greetings Michael

Some people had issues when installing. For example, the d3dx9_38.dll is needed, and it would be clearer to have different archives for different PB versions. Better for some : an installer

Dear djes,

i thought about an installed, but so everybody see the files and can have a look on it. In the future i can put a installer file as exe and PB file to the source code.

The file d3dx9_38.dll is a part of DX9 and DX9 must be installed. I can not put this files to the download files, this will be to much files and it could be a copyright problem with microsoft...

best regards
Michael

d3dx9_38.dll is not a part of DirectX9, it's a part of DirectX9 SDK, you can redistribute it or link it in your products.
I understand your point about an installer

very good job !

just an installer/uninstaller please

Looks impressive, but the combination of the above poses a no-go for me, sadly enough... As a matter of principle I do not use user libraries in PureBasic, this because people tend to drop out, and new versions would then invalidate old user libraries.

I hope one day PureBasic will include an official and supported method to generate user libraries.

Great MP,

Fantastic work : thank you for your MP3D !!
I love it & use it

Here is the infamous dll that should be included in the package http://djes.free.fr/purebasic/dx9dll/D3DX9_38.dll

Hi,

the next version MP3D 26 with a big 2D functions update will comming in some days. Here comes a little demo file of some of the new functions...
