ClipSprite3D for DirectX7 / DirectX9 (x86/x64)

[J. Baker]

It seems that Sprite3DQuality doesn't work with DirectX9. Does this have to do with DirectDraw?

That has nothing to do with this code. Besides, it works perfectly. Could you please post in "Coding Questions" and not here?

Hmm, I see no signs of bilinear filtering. And I posted here because I didn't have the issue until I used your code. Now quit being such an ass.

EDIT: Sorry if I've been an issue with you. I will no longer post in your topics.

Then you are a noob or need glasses. Either way, this has nothing to do with clipping a sprite!

And I posted here because I didn't have the issue until I used your code. Now quit being such an ass.

First you spam my post because you create three Sprites3D with the same ID (!) and wondered your sprites won't show. Then I fixed the problem for you. Now all of a sudden you think filtering is broken and seriously post here again? And I'm being an ass? Are you drunk?

EDIT: Sorry if I've been an issue with you. I will no longer post in your topics.

No need for drama just because you suffer from the inability to read and properly check you code for errors before posting. :roll:

Ok, if you set Sprite3DQuality(1) while using your DirectX9 technique (which I'm thankful for) you do not get any bilinear filtering unless you zoom greater then the actual image size. Which in the DX7 you would still get bilinear filtering even at the images correct size, without zooming.

As for being a noob, I think not. I've been using PureBasic since 2002, maybe 01, I can't remember.

And yes, the first question of mine was my own mistake. But there's no need responding the way you do. I just thought it had something to do with your code. That's why I asked here.

Anyway, like I said, I just won't post in your topics if you're going to be grouchy.

"your DirectX9 technique"? Arghh!

You did not even try to reproduce the problem in a separate example without the clipping code, did you? Of course you didn't! Otherwise you would have noticed it's a DX9 related issue!

As for being a noob, I think not. I've been using PureBasic since 2002, maybe 01, I can't remember.

The problem is that you don't seem to look at least twice at your code. Thus you are not capable to spot even the simplest mistakes. Instead you spammed my thread two times with trivial problems that had nothing to do with the code I posted.

And yes, the first question of mine was my own mistake. But there's no need responding the way you do. I just thought it had something to do with your code. That's why I asked here.

Not only the first, the second as well. If you even have a third question please do us all a favor and post in "Coding Questions" this time. I'm getting tired of these false "bug reports".

Anyway, like I said, I just won't post in your topics if you're going to be grouchy.

If someone is "grouchy", irrelevant now if that was true or not, you do call him an asshole in response?

Sir, you are out of your ****ing mind.

Thank you for the tip, it is *really* useful. Note that Fred told us that with DX9, we don't need any more "square" sprites.

Enough Fluid Byte.

And just for the record, I didn't call you an asshole, I called you an ass. See, everyone makes mistakes. And who refers to themselves as "him"? Kinda weird.

I will no longer post to your comments.

Yeah. That "completely" shines a new light on the situation ...

Man you got issues ...

I'm a little lost here. Which tip you mean?

be a little indulgently with him.
if I remember correctly, for Americans "ass" means "donkey"....

@Baker

you should remember that this is an International forum.
to the rest of the world, "ass" just means almost the same as "asshole".

don't think we talk "American" just because we use English here!

Not the "tip" (again the language!), I meant your code

What the hell does it matter? I asked him politely to post in "Coding Questions" unlike he is absolutely sure it has something to do with my code. He failed to do so twice and I was insulted in return. Do you really think I will start to argue now about the differences between ass and asshole? And no, ass doesn't mean donkey (which would be rude enuff!) it means the thing you sit on and isn't considered a "friendly thing" in most parts of the world.

Then say code and not tip!

Nice job, I can update my sprite3D includelib.

now I'm curious... whan is the extra meaning of "tip" in french?

it can be a "hint" or "advice" in german,
or a "forecast" or a "bet" like betting on sports...

in english, it can be "gratuity" or "beer money", the extra pay for a service...

O_O'

It's a mistake. I thought that tip = hint. My english is so bad :'(

[Fluid Byte]

No, tip has many meanings and one of them beaing "hint" or "clue".
