Nevermind my last posting I think. I noticed now that it seems like only certain selected voices have this problem, so perhaps only SAPI 5 voices expose this capability. I only have 1 SAPI5 voice (sam) and the rest are SAPI4's, and since MS Sam is so terrible I never use it hence me thinking this ...

Hi guys,

Estaban1, first off, just like everyone else I wanted to say GREAT JOB! I love your little TTS library and have been using it for all sorts of stuff.

BUT, for some reason I am never able to get 2 of the callbacks to work for SpeechStarted and SpeechEnded in the TTSInit functio n. The ...

Hehheh, that's perfect Num3. I just said those words in that other post (end of the flame war).

Best regards,

Hey Gaman, I really appreciate that you "Manned Up" or rather owned up and took the (misplaced) heat off of me.

Ok FluidByte you want to keep going? Well here's my responses to this yes, utter waste of time and then I'm done done done.

You said for your #1:

@Fluid Byte
I actually had this in my pb proj:
;// TRANSPARENT CAMERA BaCKGROUND COLOR = -1
CameraBackColor(0, RGB(255,255,0))
;CameraBackColor(0, -1)

; // NOTES FROM CameraBackColor() command!
; AS SUSPECTED, DOESN"T DO WHAT I NEED - JUST STOPS ERASING THE CAM (leaves trails, no cls in ...

@Kaeru Gaman
"first: calm down. second: stop shouting. third: calm down. "
Ehhh? Dood I'm about as calm as they come. And I'll shout if I want LOL! Whoops, shouted that Lol again dagnabbit! (*oh are exclamation points allowed bro?)
I can't believe we are talking about this 'shouting thing' but ok ...

@Kaeru Gaman:
"assign a background-picture to a window, and then let openGL put the render output into this window.
the should be a flag somewhere in OGL to make a transparent background. "

Well actually I'm trying to use OGRE (all the built-in commands in PB) not Ogl... My point to using PB was ...

@Kaeru Gaman:
"yap.
since the idea itself is really uncommon, maybe you are really talking about a skybox/dome. "

Well I won't explain for a 3rd time why a skydome/box won't work, but thanks for the suggestion.

"....since the idea itself is really uncommon...."
Whaaa?
This is certainly not ...

@Num3:
Nope definitely not a skydome, but thanks for trying. =)

Read carefully what I was asking about here:
"....I can't use BILLBOARDS since I can't use 3d world units/coords <(I need exact SCREEN/WINDOW coords)> and I don't want texture filtering, etc. For what I'm doing I need pixel perfect ...

I've been trying to figure this out for a while, tried TONS of ideas, and searched endless threads to no avail.... Fred, anyone? Someone must have done this, it seems so pedestrian! I can't imagine I found something NOT POSSIBLE to do with PB! =)

Here's the deal:
I need to display 2D images BEHIND ...

Yep you were right Gaman, and it wasn't intentional so I deleted it here and posted it in a new topic hoping it would be seen. But I guess I never actually hit the submit on this one (to erase it). Sorry yer right, my bad!

And btw, problem all solved now. Pm me or email me sometime Gaman and I'll ...

Hi Fangbeast, Netmaestro, Dare, Srod and everyone.

This is a great thread, cool stuff, and almost does what I need, HOWEVER:

Is there an easy way to set up things like this with an OGRE3D app ? I have tried all sorts of things just to get a bitmap to display as the background of the 3D window to ...
