Aha! Thanks! That did the trick!
But since this worked in v5.70 I assume something regarding this was changed in v.6? But perhaps is was not related to the Mouse-command itself but rather other stuff?

I also tried a similar test-code that uses just about the same loops and has the exact same ...

Hi,
I recently came back to PB after a while now and started by doing a PB upgrade to 6.02 only to discover some things that don´t work as before.
One of those things is Mouse control functions. In my case I use MouseDeltaX() and MouseDeltaY().
When I run my old testcode below, in PB v6.02, the ...

Change the InitEngine3D() command in the example source into InitEngine3D(#PB_Engine3D_DebugLog) and examine ogre.log.


I just tried this with "DirectX11" as subsystem and there are no errors in the ogre.log file.
There are about 30 lines and these 2 are the last:
13:01:45: *-*-* OGRE ...

For me, I get the error above in my original post when I have "DirectX11" listed as sybsystem.
But games that use HW3D and DirectX11 works on this computer so why doesn´t PB work for me?
If I put "DirectX9", then it works, but not 11.

Thanks for your replies.
I got it to work when I cleared the value in Compiler Options and Library Subsystems.
I was also wrong about "DirectX11" being a default value in PB. Atleast in PB v6.02 a blank value is the default.
I learned that the compiler options are saved individually in the .pb code ...

Hi,
I just installed the latest PB(6.02) to date on a Win10 laptop, and when I run something that has the InitEngine3D() command I get the error "The 3D Engine can´t be initialized".
I have not had PB installed on this machine before. The default compiler subsystem is "DirectX11" and my laptop is ...

Hi,
As the headline states I´m trying to figure out the best way to have 2D graphics drawn in front of lots of 3D graphics, without caring about the resolution.
One example for this would be a control panel to a game. It could sit at the bottom of the screen and have buttons and other info on it ...

Ok, now I´m back to my original problem. Which was, how to create shadows in my box without showing the side that´s creating the shadows.
And as BinoX said, set the texture to 100% transparency which will create shadows.

I have tried many different ways of doing this but I can´t manage it.
I change ...

Ok, I have now tried your latest example on my other machine and still get two different results randomly.
I only use the setting "WorldShadows(#PB_Shadow_TextureModulative, 0, RGB(127, 127, 127), 4096)".
Seems to work as it should directly after I start PB and after a while, the error(can´t see ...

There´s some weird things going on with my computer. I can get the same as in your picture "sometimes"!? Mostly not. It can differ between compiles even if I don´t alter anything.
So you are probably correct that my gfx-cards are not fully compatible.
I´m using a laptop that has two gfx-cards ...

Nice with the ground texture. Really helps showing what you can see or not through the textures and shadow.

And this is getting weird. With #PB_Shadow_TextureModulative, All transparencies are there except for when the vertical worldmap shows its outside to the camera. Then the Geebee doesn´t show ...

Interesting example! Thanks for that!
I didn´t know that you can set different materials to submeshes. That way it´s still one entity, which is excellent.

But I think it still has the same problem with polygon sorting. Atleast for me on my machine. When the vertical side which has the transparent ...

I don't know what to tell you. For me, it's a bit of a guessing game without seeing your code.
Well, if can you produce a simple cube where all sides are textured from a 32-bit TGA-file, where 5 sides are fully non-transparent(pixelvalue in alpha=255) and one side has some transparency(random mix ...

Ok,
I replaced "depth_write off" and "colour_op alpha_blend", with "cull_hardware none" and "cull_software none", but that didn´t help.
It just displays everything as it was before I added the alphachannel. Plus added backfaces to every polygon.

Can we confirm that it´s not possible to mix textures ...

Thanks for your answer.

"depth_write on" is needed for alpha blending otherwise you'll get the fun house mirrors
But when I set this to ON I don´t get any alpha blending at all. Does this mean that I cannot use alphatextures on complex meshes since it messes things up?
Seems really stupid if this ...
