Hey MrVain! I love your examples!!!

Hi! Nice work guys! Hope to see some examples soon. What I'm missing is a command like Purebasic's ClipSprite. It's quite useful for animation-strips!

Keep on!

Badly, it seems that mouse functions aren't working anymore.
Do you think that we'll soon see rotation or scaling functions?

And could you say me if refresh rate is working?

Todolist

>Badly, it seems that mouse functions aren't working anymore.

Yea, here the same problem, maybe the mouse procedures don't like my lib

I'll create a DirectInput-library when i finished the 2D procedures of this lib, then it should work. A little example of directInput i already posted in the german forum: http://forums.purebasic.com/german/viewtopic.php?t=4487

>Do you think that we'll soon see rotation or scaling functions?

It already works here, i just have to make the procs PB-User compatible

>And could you say me if refresh rate is working?

None of the PB-Procs work together with this lib also RefreshRate()..

@djes:
Many thanks! I am very glad to hear, you like the examples!

@THCM:
Many thanks THCM!

You will find three small examples showing you how to use the commands of SpriteDX9, build in up to v0.56! Atm i am working on new/modified examples for the next release(s)! Btw, i agree with the ClipSprite() stuff... but afaik this is on the todo list

@Deeem2031:
Keep on your great work and stay cool! Catch you later, bye

It would'nt work without that dll file.
Could you make it so we don't need that?, no other DX stuff on my computer needs it...
And I also noticed the examples uses 100% cpu, that's scary.
And where are we supposed to put the files? I just had to guess...
But it was a great lib, keep up the good work!

The dll is needed to decode pictures (with transparency). Without it, it would be necessary to recode all this stuff! It's possible but it will certainly take time.
The dll could be in the program folder or in windows/system32.

Probably because the dll is to newer than your stuff. The first D3DX-DLL was released in feb. 2005. Since may 2005 its legal to include this dll in program packages, so for now there aren't many programs that use this files. But it becomes more and more. You will see, later everyone will use that because its simply easier to handle DX with that.

Insert a Delay() and it should be no problem anymore. But i think it isn't bad if games or grafik examples use all cpu.

I found that lib in my windows/system32 directory, so you maybe put them there to. All the other DirectX dlls are there, too.

If I remember, in C the functions of a static library are included in the program. So this dll are in all these programs, not in a file, but included...

My computer doesn't like the #PB_D3D_CopyBuffer parameter in openscreen .
Is it really necessary?

hFont = LoadFontDX9(Fontname.s, Height, Width, Weight)

LoadFontDX9() require a value for the argument Weight! But in the CHM file isnt any info about this atm (this will be fixed)! So i will poste a very small example showing you how to set the Weight value!

Code: Select all

@djes:
Afaik, you must not use #PB_D3D_CopyBuffer!! You can use any kind you wish... for example you can do it with TribleBuffering too!? But i think CopyBuffer will be DoubleBuffering and i think it should work without problems!? Maybe Deeem2031 can help you... i will inform him about this

#PB_D3D_TribleBuffering
#PB_D3D_AlphaBlending
#PB_D3D_CopyBuffer
#PB_D3D_AntiAliasing
#PB_D3D_AntiAliasing2
#PB_D3D_AntiAliasing3
#PB_D3D_AntiAliasing4
#PB_D3D_Windowed
#PB_D3D_Software

this should be the complete list of the "Weight" arguments with LoadFontDX9() ...!?

Code: Select all

hFont = LoadFontDX9(Fontname.s, Height, Width, Weight)

#FW_DONTCARE    =  0
#FW_THIN        =  100
#FW_EXTRALIGHT  =  200
#FW_LIGHT       =  300
#FW_NORMAL      =  400
#FW_MEDIUM      =  500
#FW_SEMIBOLD    =  600
#FW_BOLD        =  700
#FW_EXTRABOLD   =  800
#FW_HEAVY       =  900

I would advice the program folder, it's cleaner for you and the end user...
