| I've managed to create what appears to be a working DX9 renderer for CEGUI. I had to trawl the web for a MinGW compatible DirectX .a, but I found one eventually, and that allows CEGUI to link to the dll. Since I'm nowhere near an expert as far as DX and all the various DLL versions is concerned, I imagine my implementation isn't the best, but it worked when I tried it against the latest runtime. The only caveat is the requirement to include a d3dx9.dll with the app. (unless anyone can come up with a better way to do that). The API changes slightly in order to get the "directx device" into CEGUI. Where with OpenGL we can do this : Init_CEGUI(New TCEOpenGLRenderer) with DX9, we need to do this : Init_CEGUI(New TCEDirect3D9Renderer.init(g)) where "g" is a TGraphics object. The CEGUI code remains the same, otherwise, which makes everyone's lives easier. |

| Nice driver update ! I'm not into DX but I'm sure some here will be happy :) Cheer By the way, do you still plan a Qt implementation ? |

| Qt implementation of .. CEGUI? o_O Unless you mean the Qt wrapper, in which case it's not strange at all :P |

| I'm not into DX but I'm sure some here will be happy :) Me neither, but since we have official DX9 support now, I thought we may as we have this implemented too. I only tried it on the widgetsgalore example, but everything seemed to work properly. By the way, do you still plan a Qt implementation ? Yep. I'm kind of stuck at the moment, with the latest code... and my ideas for implementing the "variant" objects for BlitzMax objects - this is kind of vital for putting user data into Models/Lists/etc. One of those things that makes the head spin... I try to get it all sorted in my head before I try to implement too much. |
