  • Very cool, I remember when you showed the first version. Are you planning on releasing them someday? =]

    The first release was downloaded a few thousand times, and that was just a demo so i might try selling this version?

    Just got to write a new help guide.....keep you posted.

    No its the same operating system XP sp3.

    I searched my system 32 folder and it contains the following:

    dinput.dll

    dinput8.dll

    Dinput(folder)

    He's folder only contains dinput8.dll, this might explain why its crashing?

  • Beatbox2

    Its took me about a year to work out how to play 'multi lines' but i finally solved it.

    Screen shot of the new release...(might appeal, if your in to beatboxing)

    Changed the build layout so it plays on 1 single line.

    Edit.

    Just realised, i should have posted this in screenshots? is there a way to move it there?

  • I am trying to test a game(exe.) on a friends computer, but it wont play any sounds and it crashes when i try to increase the master volume (XAudio2 plugin).

    When i run the game his Antivirus (Comodo) gives a warning related to the DINPUT8.dll, claiming it might be back door trogan injector.

    After telling Comodo to allow it to run, the game starts but will not play any sounds.

    I thought it might just be the volume, and my game has a buttons that allow you to change the master volume, but as soon as i click one of them the game crashes reporting an error related to dinput8.dll.

    Couple of things to note.

    1, I didnt update his DX FILES over the Internet, i manually placed D3DX9_39.DLL, XAPOFX1_1.DLL and XAudio2_2.dll into his system 32 folder.

    2, I didnt install or replace the DINPUT8.DLL. (his version is dated 2007)

    3, He has a huge Microsoft flight sim package installed and i dont want to start messing with his DX files in case i mess thing up.

    If it is related to the dinput8.dll file, can i just copy my version to his system32 folder, without messing up his Computer? or should i just install the files over the internet?

  • You could try setting 'Deceleration' to 3000 plus (or whatever suits)

    It seems to stop instantly.

  • Wow!! Thanks for this tutorial.Exactly what i needed for my paint program.

  • Here's an example of a 'Photoshop' style Colour picker.

    The Colour underneath the mouse X,Y pos is constantly updated using the canvas and image manipulator.

  • Here's a basic solution(i'm assuming you mean the z position?)

    Your 3d object has a setting > Properties > Settings > Z (underneath Depth)

    This will propably set at zero, unless you have already changed it.

    Give your 3d obect a private variable called 'zpos', and set its value to the objects initial 'Z' setting.

    + System: Start of layout

    -> 3dthing: Set 'zpos' to 0   (or whatever its currently set at)

    + Button: On Button clicked   (I'm using a button to move it)

    -> 3dthing: Add 10 to 'zpos'

    + System: Always (every tick)

    -> 3dthing: Set Z to 3dthing.Value('zpos')

    So everytime you click the button, the 3d object will move 10 units.

    Hope this helps

  • Dont know if its a screen resolution thing, but i'm only seeing the following shape in the corner of the window?

    <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22173473/queasypic.png" border="0" />

    It does sometimes wander to the centre, but mostly stays at one of the four coners (partly offscreen)

  • I just downloaded the 'Verve!' example and wanted to point out a couple of things:

    1, The intro screen (Press any key) doesn't tell you what what the game is about, or what you have to do ?

    2, When the main game starts all i can see is what appears to be a torch or light beam, but i havent a clue what i should do next?

    3, The main game screen is virtually black(on my system)

    4, I tried adjusting the brightness and contrast, but it didnt make any difference

    Heres a couple of screen captures i made:

    Dont get me wrong, im not criticising the example, im just pointing out what it looks like on my system!

  • Sorry guys.

    I just realised ROJOhound said dont use numbers. This must apply to the 'object type' name as well? I changed it from '3d object' to 'crate' and it works now!

    Thanks

  • Rename 3dobject so that it's name doesn't start with a number. Python doesn't work with names that start with numbers.

    The cap still wont run wont run?

    1, I opened the cap, created a 3d object (called 'crates.obj')

    2, Gave it a texture.

    3, Ran the cap

    4, Crashed, with the following errors:
