drawing a fine lined grid [hlsl] hi hodgman, Thanks for the tip, it appears that this technique only works drawing the lines along the x axis. Do you know how i could apply this to the y axis also. Cheers

Applying a second texture dx9 How do i go about running the command line compiler and would this still work with a psh file. I am not using .fx files

Debugging issue Hi staaf, I am unsure of what is causing the error, so placing a breakpoint is not an issue. I am looking to find a solution for stepping back through the program to see what variable is causing the exception to be thrown. thanks tho
