Thanks for your replies. Using NextDatabaseRow() solved the problem.

Hi all,

Can PB do a "select count(field) from table" type of query? I am trying it but it always reports 0. Here's the code:


r = DatabaseQuery(db,"select count (id) from estudiantes;")
If r =0
MessageRequester("Error","Error en query: " + DatabaseError())
EndIf
cant_estud.i ...

Thanks for your replies. Using MessageRequester for breakpoints seems like a good strategy to narrow down the problem. I'll see what I can dig up.

Hi all,

Anyone know if Purebasic-generated executables (.exe files) can execute on a windows 2008 server environment? We had a PB-made program running on a win 2003 server and it worked just fine (this program only uses GUI and Network routines). After we upgraded to Windows Server 2008, running ...

Hi all,

I am trying to load a 3d mesh in Purebasic, using the builtin 3d functions. For some reason, it fails to load. Here is my code:


; space invaders "3d"

InitEngine3D()
InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()

mWnd = OpenWindow(#PB_Any,0,0,1024,768,"Space Invaders 3d", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered| #PB ...

If you guys think that any other way than using matrices is too complex, then I'll stick to that, then. However, will this require me to rewrite all the Sprite3D functions like RotateSprite3D()?

Hi, Thx for your quick reply. Actually, I DO want to learn how to do it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. I have encountered transformation matrices before (I've delved a bit into Quartz programming in iOS) and understand the basic principle behind them. I just thought there might be a quicker ...

Hi all,

If I understand it correctly, the MoveEntity functions moves the entity relative to its current location. If I'm right, this should also take into account the entity's rotation. In other words, if I do MoveEntity(0,0,1), the Entity should move one unit forward in its z axis (assuming the z ...

Thanks,

I think the last time I checked (about two months ago) was on PureArea.net, which claimed it worked only with PB version 3.2 or something. I'll download it tonite. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am currently looking into how to generate PDF files with PB. I've heard about PurePDF, but, as I understand it, it's not compatible with the latest version of PB (pls correct If I'm wrong). I wouldn't like to downgrade to an older version just to have this functionality. I don't ...

Right, I see it. Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow.

Hi, I'm doing a simple app which reads from a Sqlite database. I'd like the program to be able to create the database file on its own if it doesn't exist, like a first-time setup. While the database file gets created with my code, the sql CREATE command for my table fails. Here's my code ...

Hi again, everyone.

Changing to 32-bit depth solved the issue. Also, downgrading to PB 4.41 seems to have made it work using 16-bit depth. Thanks to everyone who replied, and for all the advice.

Tried another image. Didn't work either.

Could it have something to do with the PB version I'm using. I am using 4.51, under windows xp professional, SP3. The image is a stick figure drawn with Paint. I will try to upload to my site later, but I suppose any image you create in Paint should have the ...

Thanks, I'll try it!
