hxRender public release alpha 0.6.
Author
Ok everybody. A whole lot of you gamedever's have been helping me on and off with this project. I don't have a whole lot of documentation out for it, but I think I have provided enough for you to get a good head start on. The source is provided, so if you can't figure out something in the documents, you can always go there.
As of this point, as far as I know, everything works properly. If an operation that involves returning a pointer fails, it returns NULL. If an operation that sets a value, like the screen fails, it returns -1. I hope to have a log reporting system in the next release.
Some minor things that have been solved in this version are mostly internal. For instance, handling non-power-of-two images. Now there is a hardware method and a software fallback method. The only thing that I don't like about what I have right now is that you need to have glext.h in the same directory as hxrender.h, which is hopefully your /include directory. I am trying to eliminate the external dependencies as much as possible. I may just have to copy the relivant code from the glext.h into my hxRender.h.
Anyways, have fun with it guys. I would like some demos to showcase on my web page. If any of you are willing to write some, let me know. I get 100 megs capcatiy, and unlimited bandwidth to my site, as far as I can tell.
Hammer away, and let me know if you guys find any bugs.
-hxRender PR 0.6a-
I can take specific questions or error reports here.
PnP:
-------------
The first lib worked fine that you posted in the previous thread, but whenever I try to Blit with hxBlitSurface() or hxBlitSimple() with the new lib it seems to fail.
I tried out the demo program, and all I got was a white window (The caption did display the FPS however). I then used the old hxRender.lib, and everything worked fine.
Also, using VS.NET 7.1, I receive linkers errors when I try to compile the project in Release Mode. Have you tried compiling as optimized? I would probably be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong here if you don't know, but the errors seemed like linker errors that I would get when I didn't set project settings correctly, but since it compiles under Debug mode, I'm not sure what the problem is. These are the errors, if you want to see them:
If anyone else tries out the lib, can you post if you are getting the same white screen as me? The images are in the directory and I am testing for NULL, but I have had no luck in solving the problem besides using the old lib.

The polygons are still being drawn, I assume. Look through the source, I use an extension to test for NPO2 hardware capabilities, that may be giving you the problem.
as for the linker errors... I always have to resetup the linker info when going from debug to release.
PnP - figured out what I was doing wrong with the linker. I'm used to including the .lib files by adding them to VC projects like source or header files, and I did not realize they were being specified under the "project settings".
And I also figured out the other error. It concerned this piece of code in hxSetupWindow():
----
extensionList = strdup((char*)glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS));
if (strstr("GL_ARB_texture_rectangle", extensionList) == 0)
{
hxiTextureType = GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB;
}
else
{
hxiTextureType = GL_TEXTURE_2D;
}
------
I had to comment out the if statement at the beginning, so that hxiTextureType was set ot GL_TEXTURE_2D. I guess the glGetString method was returning GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB, but my hardware didn't support it (that's my only guess).
Anyways, everything I tried out works great, including the rotation and scaling functions that I had mentioned about earlier. I like the hxScreenPointerRotate() translate function as well. Looking forward to updates on the library.

I guess I should disable that then, huh?
