Rendering/using media files (primarily: *.x files) in XNA from byte array(s) Is there any way to do this? I've been searching around the net some, and the only documented way of loading (and, thus, rendering) meshes on MSDN seems to be to add references to all mesh files inside your project. This is something I'd...

Note to aspiring MMO producers! To put in my share of 'work' to try to hold back the purported flood of MMO producers we'll receive here at Gamedev over the summer, I decided to write a little something to teach these wannabes a lesson. First of all; Creating an MMO, even if you...

Uhm... Right. That's all I could think of putting in the Subject title. Honestly. I'm still scratching my head where I'm sitting. Today, I installed Vista. Of course I had to install it twice, nearly choking my C: drive in the process, because upgrading fr...

Creating a *.package archive Ok, so I've been trying to create a *.package archive successfully for a while now. At first, I tried writing directly to a file, but now I've decided writing directly to a memory stream that I can resize at will seems easier. Below is my entire clas...

To all the Swedish, possibly Norwegian and/or Danish musicexperts out there! Does anyone know what happened to the ingenious and mysterious Swedish songwriter known as Dr. Bombay? I've been waiting for a new album from this guy for years now! :( For a couple of examples of his ingenuity; 'I like to drive the taxi I lik...

IOCP is NOT hard! Ach, I'm tired of the general perception in this forum that 'IOCP is hard to learn, and ever harder to use!' Thought I'd post a few steps; 1. Create a listening socket, and an IOCP instance (for the uninvited, IOCP 'instances' are just instance...

C#: Reading non-terminated strings? How on earth would I go about reading a string from a binarystream that, according to this resource looks like this; 'The IFF header is 64 bytes long. The first 60 bytes are the signature, which consists of two strings: "IFF FILE 2.5:TY...

C# Workshop - Week 1 (Ch. 1 & 2) - Advanced Quote:Original post by hpjchobbes On a similar topic to class inheritance, what's the difference between inheriting a function vs. overriding the function? It would seem that if you inherit then the base function would still get called, but I'm not...

Rendering/using media files (primarily: *.x files) in XNA from byte array(s) Hm, what about sounds and such? Thanks for the advice though, I'll drop the zip loading for now and see how things turns out when more is known about the final complete datasize. [smile]

Rendering/using media files (primarily: *.x files) in XNA from byte array(s) Well, I'm not exactly sure yet, but if it's of any importance, I'd guesstimate roughly between 3.5 - 5 gigs of uncompressed data. At least a gig of those comes from the meshes alone, which are ASCII *.x files. I might decide to convert them to a bina...

Note to aspiring MMO producers! @aidan_walsh: Actually, no I haven't, but I've read that that's 'typical' behaviour from alot of MMO producing wannabes (AOL newbs?), and I just wanted to be sure. As a sidenote, though, I can add that today hasn't been my most fortunate day as far a...
