Hi,
Just started with DirectX, and have been using Drunken Hyena''s tutorials. However, I''ve run into a fundemental problem, a problem creating the DX device. I''m using Dev C++ 4 with a ATi XPERT 99/00 (yup, I need to upgrade soon
)
Here''s the initation of D3D:
iD3D=Direct3DCreate8(D3D_SDK_VERSION);
if (!iD3D) FatalError("Fatal error getting D3D instance");
hr=iD3D->GetAdapterDisplayMode(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT,&displaymode);
if (FAILED(hr)) FatalError("Fatal error getting display mode");
ZeroMemory(&d3dpp,sizeof(&d3dpp));
d3dpp.SwapEffect=D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
d3dpp.hDeviceWindow=hWnd;
d3dpp.Windowed=true;
d3dpp.BackBufferFormat=displaymode.Format;
d3dpp.AutoDepthStencilFormat = D3DFMT_D16;
hr=iD3D->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT,
D3DDEVTYPE_REF,
hWnd,
D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,
&d3dpp,
&iDD);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
FatalError("Error creating device");
return hr;
}
CreateDevice always fails, and I have tried a number of parameters.
Any ideas?
