PureBasic Forums - English

I'm using VirtualQueryEx() to find which areas of memory are available to which processes but I'm finding I either get more blocks than I need, or not enough. I found a thread on these forums which suggested limiting the blocks to those where the mbi.lType is MEM_PRIVATE and the mbi.State is MEM ...

That was indeed the problem. I've never touched PureBasic pointers before, so didn't really know how to use them. Thanks for the fast and helpful response.

This is a little DLL I'm trying to write which is supposed to use the USER32 SystemParametersInfo function to get and set the mouse speed. I'm using it as a DLL because I need to call it from Blitz3d.

GetMouseSpeed is currently returning 0, regardless of the mouse setting, so I'm evidently doing ...

Thanks. I have made a note of who to credit, so that I don't forget when the game is finished. I'm sure everyone's heard "when the game is finished" a few thousand times before, but I generally finish what I start.

Thanks man.

Oh hiya, I just emailed you about this, but since you've replied here, I'll do the same.

So all you require for me to use these songs in a game is credit? That's very generous.Would you like to be credited as Virtualys or your real name?

Also, do you mind if I convert from mp3 to ogg? I cannot ...

Ah.. that would make perfect sense. ( Wish I'd check the memberlist now.. doh )

I'll try digging out his email from the memberlist and email him. Thanks for the help ( and very quick response ) Lars.

I've got four mp3's on my hard drive which I'm pretty sure came from a site belonging to a PB'er. The song titles are :

Maximum, Rock to the Rythm, Reality and Experience. They all have Virtualys as part of the filename, so I don't know if that's the author or a game, or a website or what. Google ...

Ok, thanks. I thought it was something I'd done wrong. I thought maybe I'd missed something important. I wasn't planning on writing any games in PB, but I did think it would be handy to write my new level editor using PB and Ogre.

Ok, I downloaded all the Ogre demos and all but one of them works perfectly in DirectX7, DirectX8 and OpenGL modes, so clearly no problem there. Must be something PB is doing.

Apologies, I thought Ogre was OpenGL + DirectX 7, but I was under the impression that PB used it the OpenGL renderer.

DirectX 7 isn't a problem. For one thing, DirectX is backwards compatible so any more recent version is 100% compatible. For another, I've written three games in Blitz3d, which also ...

At the risk of looking stupid ( it's a risk I take every time I open my mouth ) where should I download Win32.hlp?

Well thats about the size of it, really. I was just loading and testing the samples, and all of the Ogre examples crash.

EG:

AppName: purebasic21980646.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1106 Offset: 00016b97

I don't have any problems with OpenGL in general. The OpenGL ...

Oh that's the stuff. Thanks, Kale.

I'm reading through the UserGuide now, and everything's making a lot of sense so far ( the syntax is surprisingly similar to B3d, considering how different the languages are )

It would have been handy to have this userguide offline though. It's not included in ...

Hiya,

I bought PB this morning, and I've downloaded it, installed it and taken a quick look. The help files seem pretty useful as a reference, but I could use some help getting started in general. I suppose what I'm looking for is general tutorials on the PB way of doing things, the PB way of ...
