I think PB procedures use STDCALL by default, because PB´s CallFunction() uses STDCALL and you can call the PB procedures of your own code with CallFunction() without loading an external dll . Think about it

ok thx

hi,
just a short question:
Is it possible to make all variables global, or at least every variable declared outside a procedure (ie. like delphi does).

[I use LOTS OF variables in my code and usually structure it with procedures (I thought about gosubs, but I use a windows callback procedure and ...

Darklordz now has uploaded my DX-pack.zip (headers, libraries, DLLs, examples, sources, ...)

You can download it at:

Good luck

(For more information, see my topic in tips´n´tricks)

I have finally created a DirectX-zip-file, containing the header-files from codemonger, my PB-Libraries and the matching DLLs, and four examples in different difficulties for beginners (one of these examples is my working translation of coma´s c++ example).
Because I have no webspace myself, I ...

Here is my solution (it isn´t really difficult if you think about it a bit):

Hi,
I hope you can answer the following questions:

1. I know how to create a dll, but how do I use it in c++ (or any other language)?

2. How do I build dlls in c++, so that I can use them in purebasic?

3. Say I have coded a class in c++. What do I have to do to use that class as an interface in ...

ok,
I tried the slow way because I had no other idea :roll: , but it seems that it is not possible to render sprite3Ds to 2dsprites!? 8O
The following code shows the problem: Displaysprite3d() seems to render on the backbuffer instead of on the sprite.



InitSprite()
InitSprite3D()
InitKeyboard ...

Hi,
does anyone know how to use CollisionDetection with rotatet (or zoomed) sprite3ds? (without displaying them on 2d-sprites and collisiondetect them?)
My problem is, that I want to move,zoom and rotate sprite3ds (when I move the mouse and/or use keyboard) and then collisiondetect them.
I know that ...

Ok, I updated my code a bit, it now crashes much later :?
This time without comments (not much changed):



IncludeFile "D3D9.pbi"
IncludeFile "D3D9Interface.pbi"

OpenLibrary(0,"D3D9.DLL")
OpenLibrary(1,"D3DX9.dll")

Dim dwVertexShader.l(11)
dwVertexShader(0) = $fffe0101

Ok, the dx8-function was the problem, thanks codemonger.
I finally downloaded the dx9sdk and translated the example.

If I try to run it, it crashes at the LOCK-function.
I hope someone (codemonger) can find the bug.

I have not commented much, post if you need help.

I tried both and prefer DirectX.
I may be a bit complex to learn but OpenGL isn´t much easier. If learned it, the Syntax of DirectX is easy to understand and use (I hate the OpenGL syntax).
If you want to work on many or bigger projects, I think DirectX is a good solution because the DirectXSDK has ...

58 Views, but nobody anwered, thats not good :?

After all, I searched the last two days to find a way to use the vertexshader and there is only 1 problem left.

The following line of code does not work:


D3DDevice\Createvertexshader(dwDecl(0), dwVertexShader(0), ?, 0) ;


That is written in ...

Hi,
it is now possible to use DirectX directly in PureBasic (you can download the needed include-files and read some examples in codemonger´s forum: http://www.codemonger.com/Forum/default.asp (thanks, codemonger)).

I already have some experience in Direct3D and tried the last week to translate ...

If you would know, how long your movie is (... the movielength()-command works only with real movies, not with midi or something), you could start the movie again after that time


length = [that long is the movie in millisecs]

start = gettickcount_()
playmovie()

Repeat
IF gettickcount ...
