Hey guys,
Thanks for your help, I was trying Omid's suggestions when I realized that something is actually being drawn, but incorrecly. In the center of the black screen is a very, very, very dark green (almost black, which is why I didn't see it with the sun shining on my monitor) rectangle in the middle of the screen. However, this is not my texture! I can't get pictures on the post or I would show you... It is almost the same color as the top left corner of the texture. However, when I change the color of the top left pixel in my texture the application renders a bizarre single color that seems to be some sort of mix between the colors of the changed pixel and the other colors. Just in case anything changed, I reposted my code:
void Engine::testrender(){ LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9 texture; LPDIRECT3DVERTEXBUFFER9 g_pVB; if( FAILED( D3DXCreateTextureFromFile( m_d3dDevice, "test.bmp", &texture ) ) ) MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to load texture", "Error", MB_OK); m_d3dDevice->SetSamplerState( 0, D3DSAMP_MINFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR ); m_d3dDevice->SetSamplerState( 0, D3DSAMP_MAGFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR ); CUSTOMVERTEX g_Vertices[] = { { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f }, { 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f }, { 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f }, { 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f } /*{50.0f, 50.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}, {250.0f, 50.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, 16.0f, 0.0f}, {50.0f, 400.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 16.0f}, {250.0f, 400.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, 16.0f, 16.0f}*/ }; if( FAILED( m_d3dDevice->CreateVertexBuffer( sizeof(g_Vertices) * sizeof(CUSTOMVERTEX), 0, D3DFVF_CUSTOMVERTEX, D3DPOOL_DEFAULT, &g_pVB, NULL ) ) ) MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to create vb", "error", MB_OK); // Fill the vertex buffer.
