Updated: DirectX for PB (WIP)

Dreglor · Post by **Dreglor** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 9:24 am

I've been working on this for about a weeks worth of work and i've got directx 9c (august 2005) d3d9 and d3dx9 headers converted to pb.

I will be working for the new october release and get direct sound and input working.

Please bear in mind that this is still work in progress and some things are still missing and as I go along I sometimes see missing constants or enumerations and I put them in if you have somthing missing please email me or pm me whats missing and I will put it in.

I've also started a tutorial series using these includes on how to use directx in general

.

look here: viewtopic.php?p=106883#106883

to install download the august 2005 sdk for directx9c and copy the .lib files from the lib\x86 folder into purebasic purelibaries\windows\libaries folder

then you can put the includes into somewhere your sources can get to and include.

OLD VERSION
DirectX_For_PB_Includes.zip

also note that you have to either call InitD3D9() and/or InitD3D9X() to start using the api

Pretty awesome so far. What was missing from the other directx/pb releases by other people are the DX9 built-in GUI engine samples, and the lights. Hopefully this will fill in the gaps

Don't suppose those libs can be distributed independent of the sdk can they? 200M is big even for broadband and I hate to think what disk space that translate to :shock:

I look into it.
a frist i didn't want to press my luck and even try but i'll read the elua's and see what they mention about the libs

Failing that we could just agree that I have dl'ed the sdk but have lost some crucial files. You being a really kind hearted super person offer to send me said missing files

well the eula doesn't say anything about the libs nor does it say anything about sending parts of the sdk out.

im going to package this all up send the libs together with the source
it is now included

is there some type of help file included with this?

I don't know how to use it.

Have you got an example how to call D3d from a PB source?
(For example a Window with a cube)

It would be great if you have one.

well i don't have a cube but i do have a few examples on how get directx working with and how to render a triangle. most of my examples are conversions of C++ tutorials
