My new DXodus Game Library/Engine (using DX8!!!)

Domenic · 2001-02-22T16:08:49

Hey all, my new engine is finally ready for testing! I call it DXodus (as in Direct Exodus)... Pretty cool huh? It does 2D w/ alpha blending, backgrounds, sound, music, input from mouse/keyboard/joystick as well as force feedback. It is really a full-fledged game library, not just a cheap demo. It emulates fullscreen mode in windowed really well, if you resize it, it just pretends you didn''t and remaps all the mouse coords for you, as well as automatically scaling everything to the window. When you change the display mode, the window will resize, but everything will not be stretched. So far I cannot find a situation where it acts differently in windowed and fullscreen. It can draw alpha blended points and lines (different colors on the line''s vertices blend into each other, too!), and it uses point lists and line lists to do it (remember, always set the texture to NULL before drawing points!) Anybody have any suggestions? I think I''ve covered the ground really well. I like it a lot. Please tell me it works on your computer too... So get it at http://madhamster.50megs.com Read the instructions, too! You can tweak to config file to your heart''s content! Remember to report bugs, FPS, and computer specs... Cya L8R! -Domenic- Geek^n

IF you are alpha blending with DX direct draw 7 I hope you took into account that alot of cards are 565 and 55 bit pixel oriantated... but as far as the initialization goes... it loks like it crashes too much to bother with a down load..

altho I know how it goes when it work BEAUTIFULLY on your system and not others

keep on testin bud..

I am using alpha blending in DX8 by using a diffuse color component in each vertex that is set to (255, 255, 255, alpha).

Yes it does draw lines and pixels everywhere.

This is very discouraging. Once I get a major design issue worked out, I will post a log file version...

I''ve got it!!!!!!

Long story, but basically if the Joystick initialization failed, I dereferenced a NULL pointer. simon_brown, can you tell me if you have a joystick????

I will remake this demo with a lot of updates once I get a reaklly annoying bug worked out...
