just rednering a quad(2 trianagles)
Hi
First: I'm totally new to DirectX and i just want to render a simple quad to the screen...i finally found a directX 9.0 script that worked on my pc (i searched 3 days for a working dx9 tut because the dx9 samples didn't work). This script just creates a simple triangle on the screen and i want to expand the script and let it draw a quad using an indexbuffer. After fixing some errors it just shows an empty window :( can somebody tell me what's wrong?? btw.i don't understand the indexBuffer->Lock part i just copied that void *p Vertices part from the vertexBUffer…so i would be glad if soemone could explain that part.
The code:

To start, the vertices start at index 0, not index 1, so all your indices are off by 1.
You store you indices as int, but use index16. Index16 requires that you use short, not int. Also you allocate too many indices by a fluke. I think you were trying to reserve space for 5 indices, when you should have 6 (3 per triangle * 2), but you did 5 * sizeof(array), which allocates enough space for the array 5 times over. You probably want sizeof(short)*6.
There may be more...
edit:
As for the Lock. Lock gives you a pointer to a the actual vertex buffer, or index buffer memory. When locked, you can update the memory. When unlocked you cannot update the memory (you may get away with it, on some cards, in some cases, but it's wrong and is free to crash in the future). When locked, Direct3D cannot use the buffer for rendering. So, typically, you lock, modify, and unlock your resources. The arguments are "where to start to lock", "how much to lock", "where to put the pointer for you to use", and "flags".
If you pass 0 for both the offset and size of the lock, the entire buffer is locked, not just a portion of it. When you use dynamic buffers the lock flags will come into play. You can use the flags to make promises to D3D to not change data it's currently using, and only to append new data onto the end of a buffer. This lets D3D give you a pointer even before it's done using it. For static buffers, passing 0 for flags is fine.

Thx for help...
i'll fix the stuff with the indexbuffer and edit this post if other errors occur. but i still don't understand the indexBuffer declaration...i don't understand what Void* pIndices should do...it's pointer to a void variable but void is "nothing" isn't it? and afterwards you use a cast to convert it to (void**). Why?
Edit: It almost works now he draws some verts but i think there are some problems with the order of the verts
Edit2: It works now!! thx a lot! my first self written(self modded) directX application! But i hope someone can help me with the index buffer code i don't understand
Edit3: Another Problem:
Ok now i'm trying to do sth taht is really 3d...first i want to setup the camera because i found out that at default everything with z< -1 or z> 1 will be clipped so i used :
D3DXMATRIX projmatrix;
D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(&projmatrix,45,D3DX_PI/4, 1.0f, 3.0f);
my first problem was that the compiler didn't find D3DXMATRIX but i had to include d3dmath. But after that the next error occured and nwo i don't know how to fix this :
--------------------Configuration: Direct3D9Tutorial002 - Win32 Debug--------------------

D3DXMatrixPerspectiveFovLH(mat, fov, aspect, near, far);
fov is the vertical angle, in radians, that you can see. D3DX_PI/4.0f would be good. 45 is way too large (invalid even).
aspect is the ratio of width to height. It's like a scale factor for fov to make it a horizontal fov. You can get away with leaving this at 1.0f, however most display modes at 4:3 (4.0f/3.0f). Widescreen TVs are 16:9 (16.0f/9.0f).
near and far control the closest visible depth and the furthest visible depth. A range of 1 to 3 is pretty small. Even for just learning, it'll probably cause you more trouble than it's worth. Pump up your far to 100, or 1000.
You need to link with d3d8x.lib or d3d8xd.lib (debug version). You can change your project settings or do this:
#ifdef _DEBUG
#pragma comment(lib, "d3d8xd.lib")
#else
#pragma comment(lib, "d3d8x.lib")
#endif
For the lock... it returns a pointer, which can be either a short *, or a long *, depending on whether it's an INDEX16 buffer or an INDEX32 buffer. They could have overloaded it and had two functions, one with short **, and one with long **, but it's simpler for MS to just give you a void ** and let you deal with the pointer type yourself.
The reason for the void**, instead of void * is because void * is a pointer, and void ** is a pointer to a pointer. You're giving D3D a pointer to where to store it's pointer.

ok lets advance to problem #999:
now i want to create a cube and try to rotate it but it doesn't show up :( i haven't done the rotation part... the code:

SetWorldMatrix (this part worked fine with the quad):

g_pD3DDevice->SetTransform( D3DTS_PROJECTION, &projmatrix );
return S_OK;
}
Renderingpart:

g_pD3DDevice->SetFVF( VERTEX::FVF_Flags );
g_pD3DDevice->DrawIndexedPrimitive( D3DPT_TRIANGLELIST,0,0,8,0,12 );
Btw does anyone know a good tutorial page with tutorials that work with visual c++ 6 and directX9.0?? not even the sdk samples work :( I need some tutorials for beginners..

When using RHW coordinates (x,y,z,rhw), all transforms are skipped. World, View, and Projection matrices will do nothing. You'll need to move to regular XYZ only coordinates at some point, if you want to rotate around you box. Once you do this you're likely to see nothing as you've got no lights, and lighting default to being on. Use this:
pDev->SetRenderState(D3DRS_LIGHTING, false);
You projection matrix has a near of 0. This breaks the math behind projection. Near should be as large as you can tolerate. 1.0f is okay in most cases.
Your box may not be appearing because you've got the vertices in the wrong order. The need to be clockwise to render with default culling (the default value for D3DRS_CULLMODE is D3DCULL_CCW, which says "get rid of counterclockwise triangles).
I'm too lazy to check which order your triangles are in... but as you're just doing simple tests, try:
pDev->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_NONE)
Your VB and IB lock and copy routines had hardcoded sizes in them... Did you update them to new sizes? Go to the control panel, click DirectX, click Direct3D. Choose debug runtime (you did install the debug run time right? If not, there should be an item in the DirectX SDK start menu for installing it.) There should be a slider for debug output level. Put it one step below maximum (maximum tends to be annoying at times, especially for a beginner). Now, if a draw call fails, D3D will output why to your compiler's output window. If your VB or IB size was too small, it's possible that it's saying that you're trying to draw an invalid number of vertices or triangles. Whatever the error, it may be telling you.
If non of this works, try posting your full new version of the code. You've changed vertex structures and other items since your first post, and it's really hard to tell what your full code may be doing now.

@ Cullmode,LightningSTuff:
Sorry i forgot to post that but i already added that...
@ <<When using RHW coordinates (x,y,z,rhw), all transforms are skipped>>:
I know but i also forgot to post that update...but i removed the rhw now it's just :
FVF_Flags = D3DFVF_XYZ|D3DFVF_DIFFUSE,
@ <<Your VB and IB lock and copy routines had hardcoded sizes in them... Did you update them to new sizes? Go to the control panel, click DirectX, click Direct3D. Choose debug runtime (you did install the debug run time right? If not, there should be an item in the DirectX SDK start menu for installing it.) There should be a slider for debug output level.>>:
hardcoded?,controlpanel??, what do you mean with hardcoded(sorry not that good at english)? I haven't found a control panel...where is it(in visual c++ 6)

Sorry i forgot to post that but i already added that...

hardcoded: You did things like 4 * sizeof(VERTEX). You're hard coding it to use 4 vertices.
control panel: The one in Windows. Start/Settings/Control Panel/DirectX. You should have a DIRECTX entry in the control panel if your SDK is the same version as your retail DirectX. If your DX SDK is upto date, it should be there. The debug runtimes help track down many bugs. Definately a must for someone starting out.
RHW: You may have removed this from your FVF, but your structure seems to still have it. The data you posted has an x,y,z, some other value, then diffuse. If your structure and your FVF don't match, there's no way D3D can interpret the data correctly.
