Hi Samuel,

Thanks for the answer. I think you can do it by


RemoveMaterialLayer(#ShaderMaterial1)
AddMaterialLayer(#ShaderMaterial1, TextureID(TextureBlue), #PB_Material_Replace)


which seems encouraging.. I think removing it first must unregister the Texture with material script...

I'll ...

I realise I am resurrecting an old thread.

@Samuel:

How would you go around replacing the texture in the shader 'on the fly'? I've tried

LoadTexture(0, "Image03.png")
AddMaterialLayer(#ShaderMaterial1, TextureID(0), #PB_Material_Replace, 0)


but it doesn't seem to work? Is there a simple ...

Thank you! Ninga reply!

I'll post updated code in a bit, if anyone stumbles across this again.

later>... Ok, I have updated the first post with the correction. A lot easier than scrolling through a thread for the correct code. Ty again.

Hi all,

I've translated a lovely little program to PureBasic.

Solved: (see second post): However, I get flickering when either the particle count is too high or low . I've set the #PB_Screen_WaitSynchronization flag in the OpenWindowedScreen. Do others get this problem? If so do they have an ...

OK, I accept

One thing is clear, this trend is not our friend.

. I'm not going to pull the rip-cord of life yet, but sure, the stats are alarming.

Let me come back to you on this one.

Back in 1900 cancer in children was practically unheard of, extremely rare, as in non-existent.

Erm, that's probably because most died of infectious diseases Measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. The infant mortality rate was huge , not to mention trauma (war, stampled by ...

Hi,

Just to throw my oar in... I am a big fan of this idea. I like the idea of an 'official' wiki. While programming another language we had a wiki and it was a great help and I wrote a few articles myself. It is a great place to go to see the 'current zeitgeist' of the how things are done in the ...

I really liked the idea of this program so I have updated it for PB 5.50 (as far as I see it works here). I just had to change the Billboard creation as I've found it won't create a billboard with an integer number - it has to be PB_Any

Anyway, enjoy the pretty patterns..

It doesn't convert exactly because some decimal numbers can't be represented in binary exactly eg 0.1 expands to 0.000110011001100110011 recurring..

I presume as 0.6 is 0.1 * 6 it is why you get the 0.60000002384186 ...

Wow! I can't complain about the support PureBasic offers! Exemplary. Thank you.

I'll use the temporary fix of MoveBillboardGroup() until the next release.

I will give a try to this (as soon as i get time)

Thanks Comtois.

It seems like it might be solved with adding a


MoveBillboardGroup(myBillboardgroup, 0, 0, 0)


after the addBillboard command. Which may just force an update to the group ...

Hi, I got here after trying to diagnose what is wrong with my program! This looks great but it needs updating as the AddBillboard() command has changed. I've also tried downloading your screensaver but it didn't work on Windows10 - I can see the dll has been downloaded but some how I can't get the ...

It seems it may be due to the AddBillboard() command. The code below just adds a billboard to a group at a random interval but the same things happens. If you use WASD and the mouse to fly the right end of the group off the screen the billboards will all suddenly disappear.

Anyone have any thoughts ...

Hi all,

I am trying to simulate a queue and I was going to use billboard groups in a 3D environment to show where people are...it is part of a bigger idea. However, I have a bug where it seems if I move the BillboardGroups' position off the screen all the billboards of that group disappear ...

Well, yes, I did that but the problem persists. When I copy from the website to the editor I get lots of 'xA0' (if I 'reveal' them with notepad++) pasted in and it really doesn't like it. It always throws an syntax error.

I'm a bit perplexed now..
