Hiya all,

I put MOD files in to Blitzmax Mod Folder then I run some 3Impact example but I keep getting compile error that say Missing function parameter bvSync

can anyone help me on this please

It just means that you're missing a parameter in i3impactsettings.

Make sure you have an extra false or true in the parameters where you set up the screen res.

e.g If Not i3ImpactSettings(_ISETTINGS(640, 480, 32, False, True, False)) RuntimeError

Also, you should post any 3impact issues on the 3impact forum. :)

I have run the program and it say

Building AlphaTexturesUnlimited
Compiling:AlphaTexturesUnlimited.bmx
flat assembler version 1.66
3 passes, 20586 bytes.
Linking:AlphaTexturesUnlimited.exe
C:/Program Files/BlitzMax/bin/ld.exe: cannot find C:/Program Files/BlitzMax/mod/_3impact.mod/libs/libdll3impact.a
Build Error: Failed to link C:/Program Files/BlitzMax/DEMOS/AlphaTexturesUnlimited/AlphaTexturesUnlimited.exe
Process complete

p.s. I cant even register 3Impact forum because it say Sorry, registration is currently disabled. :(

You need to have a full license for 3impact to have forum access and you also need the dll files from the full release in order for the BlitzMax wrapper to work.

oh right and how do you rate 3Impact? Excellent? good? not bad? crap?

It cost 200 dollar( which about 100 pounds)

Hello Hotshot
My license from 3Impact is registered since 24/Feb/2007
It no longer support the free updates process BUT you can still have the 5.7.0.0 new version for only 49.5$ with it.
The 3Impact Developing Team tell me it was possible to transfer my License to someone else.
So I can sell you mine if you want !

Originally I was demanding 100€ (around 135$ at that time http://blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=69663#779598) but since you need to purchase the 49.5$ update (which enable you free updates for a whole year) I can give my license away for 50€ only.

I've check with a currency converters and it's about 65 pounds for both (my license + the updates).

The reason is still the same : no times to produce 3D games for the moment, so no use of 3D engine :)

I have problems trying to get 3Impact and BlitzMAX working together. When I try to compile code in BlitzMAX, I get a message complaining about missing function bvSync. I'm not sure if 3Impact version 5.8 is compatible with BlitzMAX version 1.3. I think that instructions for setting up BlitzMAX and 3Impact may be incorrect. I think that BlitzMAX-3Impact wrapper needs to be updated for 3Impact 5.8. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Find out who made the wrapper and give them a nudge and a poke... perhaps they'll update it.

Is there another 3D engine that works well with BlitzMAX?

greetings :) my apologies on the delayed update. was working on a game for the RetroRemakes competition. the module has now been updated for v5.8. for the answer to the bvSync issue, it is saying you are missing a parameter. please see the first answer by Amon.

for a list of 3D engines see:
