My menusystem needs a enhancement...

Cipher2 · 2002-06-11T05:43:07

Hi there.. I''ve made a menusystem including windows, buttons, list-,edit- and comboboxes for directx7 directdraw. Now I''ve made a 3dsprite-engine and want my menusystem to work in d3d8.. But when not using screenspace all the coordinates are worldunits instead of pixels (of course) and I want to be able to place the windows and controls orthogonal to the cameraview and with coords 0,0 in the upper-left corner.. I''ve tried to set up a orthogonal projection matrix but I can''t get it working. Also I wouldn''t be able to have my 0,0 point in the upper-left corner of the screen... Suggestions, help anyone? Anyone made the same thing?

Thanx! That''s what I wanted to hear.. so I can change vertex shader in realtime?

Can I still use blending?

I''ll go right now downloading it! Thanx again!

I use alpha blending in my HUD extensively, as well as in the 3d stuff as well so you shouldn''t have any trouble. Basically it just a few more render state calls to turn it on for what you need and off when you don''t need it. Same goes for the lighting.

Ok sounds good.. but lighting is out of the question? But that might not be so useful anyway...
