DirectShow: Playing audio from memory
|
I'm using DirectShow to play audio (and video) in my game engine. I have an asset management system that can read file assets off the hard drive or from a compressed archive. The latter will decompress and load files into memory.
How should I go a... |

Migrating to Visual studio 2010 (wtf error)
|
I just installed Visual studio 2010 and is in the process of migrating my project, but I can't compile. In fact I can't compile anything at all.
It seems to get the filenames all wrong:

Threaded Disk IO
|
I'm writing a tool that scans all files inside a folder to calculate the total size of that folder including all of its subfolders.
The overhead for checking the size of a file becomes quite significant when you're checking thousands of files so I... |

DirectX and Uniscribe

Hey. I have a question relating to drawing text in DirectX in combination with Uniscribe.
I'm developing an engine and editor for visual novels.
The current engine supports both bitmap fonts as well as system fonts (using ID3DXFont::DrawText). Ho... |

Bug with property accessors?

I think I've encountered a bug. I'm not really sure how to explain it because I don't fully understand it myself.
I noticed that one of my scripts stopped behaving like it should. It's a simple script (executed every frame on a persisten... |

Compound assignment ops on property accessors
|
Any chance of seeing compound assignment operators working with property accessors?
Maybe where "object.property += value;" is transformed by the engine into a get, the operation and a set: "object.property = object.property + value;"
The reason... |

Assertions on compile
|
This issue started once I updated from 2.16.3 to 2.17.1 (and remained in 2.17.2).
I have a function in my engine that returns an object handle by name from the current scene:
r = engine->RegisterGlobalFunction("Object@ GetObject(const str... |

Novelty - Visual novel maker
|
Novelty is a tool for creating visual novels that I have worked on for a couple of years. Unlike most VN engines, Novelty is WYSIWYG and doesn't require the user to learn a complicated scripting language.
The major design points are: no progr... |

and I've run into a very specific problem that I need some help with.
Some of my users have experienced a bug where images (regular textured quads) won't render p... |

Why Must Games Be Fair?
|
Because we pay money for games.
Or, because we don't want our time to be wasted on poorly designed games. |

Windows XP: Is it dead yet?
|
I didn't mind XP when I was still using it but once I had switched to 7 I never looked back.
XP feels terribly unmodern to me now.
That said I'm still developing with DirectX 9 and many of my users run XP. |

Is anybody here a Christian?
|
Grew up in a protestant home but is now an open atheist.
I have pretty strong opinion on the evangelical flavor of christianity and other fundamentalists, but it serves no purpose for me to share them here. |

The worst flaws in game design!
|
Artificially prolonging the game by deliberately slowing down game mechanics and/or player progress. [Insert favorite MMORPG here]. This is why I stopped playing that entire genre. |

C++ std containers, reverse iterators, and erase()
|
On the topic of stl containers I just want to append a link to Channel 9's introduction video series on the subject:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
They have gotten to iterators yet, but still. |

C++ std containers, reverse iterators, and erase()

You can't call erase with a reverse_iterator. Simple as that.
I don't know what the specific reason for this is but I'm sure someone else can enlighten us.
Maybe you should consider using a different container if performance is important when rem... |

Ran a computer-wide search for cl.exe and found a stray one in System32. Now who the heck put that there?!
Thanks to everyone who guided me in the right direction. |

So the question is, how do I keep VS2010 from using a decade old compiler? |

Migrating to Visual studio 2010 (wtf error)

Ah, I see. I did install the Beta before. I think that I uninstalled it, but now that I think about it I'm not so sure. I will investigate. |

Migrating to Visual studio 2010 (wtf error)

I installed it from disc. I have VS2005 and 2008 installed on the same machine. I uninstalled 2005, but the problem remained. Do I really have to uninstall 2008 as well? I'm reluctant to do that until I know for sure that 2010 can replace it. |
