Hi Phil ;)

About Terrain:
The Terraindimension is the Dimension of your heightmapimagefile^2 multiplied by your nodescale as mike said.

Alternatively where Get and Set height Functions are available one can use The TlT ( TiledTerrain) functions ( which i am playing around currently to docu for ...

is there a way to detect the os name, some procedure like:
if GetOSName() = "Windows XP"
MessageRequester("", "Your are using XP")
else
MessageRequester("", "Your are not using XP")
endif

Good question, OSVersion is handy and gives one of the following:

#PB_OS_Windows_NT3_51
#PB_OS_Windows_95 ...

Hehehe
I did something similar like this some time ago, think I was too tired or something but I could never it 100% correct when calculating the persons age.

Can't you use the calendar gadget for that? Not sure though, haven't used that much myself.


Procedure dagen(maand)
date$ = FormatDate ...

It will at least make a bit of the world a better place to live

:P Was your motivation also to get porting from C to PB easyer?
Not really, i just saw it is useful.

Thats a fact! :P

It also makes porting C headers a lot easy'er,
and makes adding purebasic user libs easy'er,
and makes purebasic more and more powerfull,
and makes all purebasic users and ...

why not use a linear array in the struct and calculate line and row, e.g. by a Macro?

Macro BiCoord5( BCRow, BCLine )
( 5 * BCLine + BCRow )
EndMacro

Structure Puit
Narf.c[25]
EndStructure

Define Fjord.Puit

Fjord\Narf[BiCoord5(2,3)] = 42

Debug Fjord\Narf[BiCoord5(2,3)]

YES, Great solution ...

Why isn't it possible to use dim foo.l(5,5) in a structure..
Multidimensional arrays in structures aren't supported (by now).


You could however work around this limitation something like this:

Structure something_
a.c[5]
EndStructure

Structure something
b.something_[5]
EndStructure


Yes ...

Tnx for the reply, you PB freaks

Thats a bit smart .. but you will get into trouble
later on using functions from the DLL..

uint8 is a byte i believe.

Why isn't it possible to use dim foo.l(5,5) in a structure..

Anybody know how to convert this to PB:

struct something
{
uint8 year[5][5]
}

?

BTW you have a PM (this forum doesn't jump them out at you)

Hi Brosco,

i send you a mail!

Bye!

Hi,

I converted more structures from the header files, now it
works better.

I can open a media file and get lot's of info, then i can
pre-buffer everything also.

The problem is, the width/height are totally wrong,
so i guess i didn't convert the header/structures right.


Hi Philippe,

I'm a ...

Thanks for getting into this :-)
I did some things in PB using Libavcodec some time ago ... last year.


Debug "Filename: "+a$ ; WHY WE MISS THE FIRST LETTER!!!!! Hmmmm .
This issue in combination with the wrong width/height outputs does clearly show that theres something wrong in your ...
