Hi,

Working on a 2D DirectX 9.0c game engine now.

I am working on graphics core.

Problem I have now is that I can't seem to render sprites and TTF text simultaneously?

I can render sprites and I can render TTF texts separately, but when I try to do both I only get sprites?

Hope someone can help, thanks!

Hi Again,

Still haven't solved this issue.

In: "void Visuals::DrawSpriteOntoScreenBuffer(int index)" function, if I comment out:

"D3DXMatrixTransformation2D(&matrixSpriteTransform, NULL, 0.0, &scaling, NULL, rotation, &screenPostion);"

the text draws?

Anyone know why using "D3DXMatrixTransformation2D" in another function before DrawTextA makes text not render?

Thanks in advance!

I bet that it isn't actually the D3DXMatrixTransformation2D that is the problem.

In my opinion the problem is that you set a transform matrix with the function SetTransform(...)

Since the Direct3D is a state machine, you'll need to restore a proper transform matrix before using the text function, since they seem to be affected by a transform.

The transform matrix that you'll need to set before drawing text is probably an identity matrix.

Cheers!

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I changed the source code of the text render function to below, but it still does not display?

What am I doing wrong?

void Visuals::DrawTextOntoScreenBuffer(const char *textToDisplay, LPD3DXFONT Font, int posX, int posY,
                                       int XJustification, int textRed, int textGreen, int textBlue,
                                       int outlineRed, int outlineGreen, int outlineBlue)
{
RECT rect, textSize;

    D3DXMATRIX matrixFixTextAfterSpriteDrawing;
    matrixFixTextAfterSpriteDrawing._11 = 1;

    D3DXMatrixIdentity(&matrixFixTextAfterSpriteDrawing);

    Font[0].DrawTextA( NULL, textToDisplay, -1, &textSize, DT_CALCRECT, D3DCOLOR_RGBA(textRed, textGreen, textBlue, 255) );

    if (XJustification == JustifyLeft)
    {
        // Do nothing...
    }
    else if (XJustification == JustifyCenter)
    {
        posX = (800 / 2) - (textSize.right / 2) - 3;
    }
    else if (XJustification == JustifyRight)
    {
        posX = (800 - posX) - textSize.right - 3;
    }
    else if (XJustification == JustifyCenterOnPoint)
    {
        posX = posX - (textSize.right / 2) - 3;
    }

    for (int screenY = -2; screenY < 3; screenY++)
    {
        for (int screenX = -2; screenX < 3; screenX++)
        {
            SetRect( &rect, posX+screenX, posY+screenY, 0, 0 );
            if (screenY != 0 && screenX != 0)
                Font[0].DrawTextA( DXSpriteForTextOutline, textToDisplay, -1, &rect, DT_NOCLIP, D3DCOLOR_RGBA(outlineRed, outlineGreen, outlineBlue, 255) );
        }
    }

    SetRect( &rect, posX, posY, 0, 0 );
    Font[0].DrawTextA( DXSpriteForText, textToDisplay, -1, &rect, DT_NOCLIP, D3DCOLOR_RGBA(textRed, textGreen, textBlue, 255) );
}

Hi,

Got it working!

Added:

   D3DXMATRIX matrixFixTextAfterSpriteDrawing;
   D3DXMatrixTransformation2D(&matrixFixTextAfterSpriteDrawing, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
   D3DXMatrixIdentity(&matrixFixTextAfterSpriteDrawing);

to top of text render function.

Thank you for your help!
