Chicken Utopia
|
I just finished and released both the demo version and full version of Chicken Utopia.
I used DirectX 9c and very much enjoyed the d3dx sprite functionality(and took advantage of much of it [rotation, scaling, color-fx, etc...)
It's a 2D side-sc... |

Disable Screensaver not working
|
I can switch windows with alt-tab and everything restores just fine - but if the screensaver starts up in my game - it crashes for no apparent reason.
From what I've read - Direct3D is supposed to disable screensaver -- but it doesn't. The followin... |

D3DXVec3Project result does not match texel's final screen coord

:(
If I use a black texture with one red texel on it(so I can easily identify it), and texture a triangle on a polygon in 3D space - I notice that that texel does not appear at the same location if I manually transform the texel by p... |

Fast realtime backbuffer copy to sysmem?
|
My program needs a reference copy of the backbuffer(for calculation purposes) - preferably in sysmem - but what I'm doing seems to be far to slow:
D3DLOCKED_RECT lr;
HRESULT hResult=g_gpu->GetBackBuffer(0,0,D3DBACKBUFFER_TYPE_MONO,&pBack... |

Large texture LockRect performance
|
I noticed that when I try to lock and write pixels to a texture it is quite fast so long as it's 1024x1024 or less. If it's 2048x2048 or larger, the performance is suddenly terrible. Could it be card or driver related?
I'm wondering if there's a... |

UpdateSurface works 95% of the time?
|
Updatesurface is working most of the time, but every so often the computer will freeze up and I'll need to reboot. If I comment out the UpdateSurface function, it never crashes.
The strangest thing is, it seems like, if my texture array has more... |

Render target size larger than backbuffer?
|
I noticed that when I use a render target larger than the back buffer, it causes the texture to garble and sometimes causes a crash.
I'm using:
zbuffer of 4096x4096
A back buffer to match the original screen resolution(1024x768)
It works fine... |

Ridiculous DWORD error (SOLVED - thanks)

[SOLVED]Get pixel in directx 9 - wrong colors?

I'm trying to get the pixel color under my mouse click. I've looked at several other examples that other people have worked on and I'm still getting the wrong values (I think). For example I could set the triangle - D3DCOLOR clr=4 - and when I c... |

No Light in my scene
|
Is everything black? If so I'm not sure.
Maybe use a lower ambient value too - like r=0.3f,b=0.3f,g=0.3f
You might also want to try using a spotlight for a light coming from the camera. I'm thinking if the light is parallel directional and pointin... |

Disable Screensaver not working
|
Aha! So this should do the trick:
switch (wparam & 0xFFF0) {
case SC_SCREENSAVE: return 0;//prevent it from happening
case SC_MONITORPOWER: return 0;//prevent it from happening
}
Thankyou! :)

Help with BackBuffers
|
I came accross this recently:
http://www.fairyengine.com/articles/dxmultiviews.htm
Looks like they're swapping z-buffer and setting render targets too. I haven't really read it though.
Hopefully it's helpful though. :) |

DirectDraw problem
|
If I remember correctly, you would pass the hwnd you used to create your window app. ie:
g_hwnd = NULL; //global var
...
g_hwnd = CreateWindowEx(....
...
DDraw->SetCooperativeLevel(g_hwnd, DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE | DDSCL_FULLSCREEN);
Hmm. If that'... |

Fast realtime backbuffer copy to sysmem?

I finally got back to optimizing this again. I tried the getrendertargetdata technique and it was amazingly much much faster. If anyone needs to know how it's done, here's my source:
// Do this only once:
LPDIRECT3DSURFACE9 pBackBuffer;
