| http://www.syntaxbomb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2418 Currently at v0.5, I'm looking to support this further, have a play, tell me what you think, or if it breaks (Probably) I'm usually over there anyway, so if you dont mind, thats my 'offical' support forum. Tar! Dabz |

| Alright cool, I'll give this a try later this week when I get more time (finals are approaching). Thanks for taking the time to do this, I should finish up some stuff and try to do the same... |
| ||
| Post a direct download link here, I don't have a syntax bomb account and don't have time to. Thanks! |
| ||
| You dont need an account to download from the link in a thread, the link is open to guests Shame you never had time just to look first!?! Oo Okay, for anyone that hasnt got 3 seconds to follow a link:- http://www.denathorn.co.uk/Files/DX9Plus0_5.zip Cheers Dabz |

| Don't assume someone is an ass. When clicking on the download link in the syntax forum non logged in users are shown this page: http://www.syntaxbomb.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=409&d=1227473253 Which basically says... "You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:" Good luck with your project. |

| Like MGE, I'm not going to join a forum just to download a file. Shame the author got a bit snitty about it as now I won't download from the direct link out of principle. |
| ||
| Well, I logged out of SB, was a guest and tested the download link, and it was champion here. Don't assume someone is an ass. I dont assume anything, people who know me, know that I mean what I say in the nicest possible way... If anyone was offended by my 7am (pre-work) post, then I apologize. Shame the author got a bit snitty about it as now I won't download from the direct link out of principle. Again, if I came across as a bot, it wasnt intentional, maybe I should of used a smiley, all I want is feedback about it, not an argie bargie of how I decide to distribute it! ;) <--- NOTICE WINK!!! :D Dabz |

| Shame the author got a bit snitty about it as now I won't download from the direct link out of principle. So juvenile. I'm sure the author won't lose any sleep over you and your 'principles'.Funny how everybody's always bleating that Blitz doesn't use DX9, and when they're given it on a plate they complain about having to click on a sodding link to get it. No supper for you. |
| ||
| I have checked it and work fine in BLITZ 3D. welldone :) |
| ||
| maybe I should of used a smiley, all I want is feedback about it, I downloaded it, but do not have B3D or B+ to compile the examples. I would be happy to test any compiled examples for you :) when they're given it on a plate they complain about having to click on a sodding link to get it. So juvenile to change the facts to make your argument. The original complaint was having to join another forum just to download a file. Legit or not, most will simply see it as an email harvesting scheme. |
| ||
| So juvenile to change the facts to make your argument. I didn't have to change any facts - you said it yourself. Shame the author got a bit snitty about it as now I won't download from the direct link out of principle. most will simply see it as an email harvesting scheme. Oh please.What right do you think you have to speak for other people? As far as I can see, its just you being cynical. |
| ||
| I didn't have to change any facts - you said it yourself. I'm sorry, but you are wrong. You DID change the facts, you are the one who said: "they complain about having to click on a sodding link to get it."Neither I or anybody else ever said that, only YOU did. What right do you think you have to speak for other people? What right do you have to speak for other people? What right do you have to change the facts to try and instigate an argument where one does not exist? What right do you have to say somebody said something when they clearly didn't? As far as I can see, its just you being cynical. Since you are the legendary expert on cynicism, I will take your word for it ;) |
| ||
| I'm sorry, but you are wrong. You DID change the facts, you are the one who said: "they complain about having to click on a sodding link to get it." Finished? Neither I or anybody else ever said that, only YOU did. |

| Just to clarify, SyntaxBomb does not harvest emails, I am a moderator over there, and spend lots of my online time at the place (2311 posts and counting), as well as donating half the vBulletin license fee for the site. I've also been on the BlitzBasic boards for 7 years, people know I'm not into anything like that. The reason I created DX9Plus is because of the Abandoned thread thats floating around, which sort of shoved me to release an unmanaged library version of a piece of work I did. So, if anyone does have anything to report regarding DX9Plus, SyntaxBomb is the place I will see it first, and is the reason I have made SyntaxBomb the home of DX9Plus. Plus, I dont want to be bouncing left, right and centre when answering questions. All further updates, news, examples will be posted first over there... So, if you are interested, then I would really appreciate it, personally, that you let me know there or email me (michael [ at ] denathorn.co.uk) Thanks Dabz |

| keep going Dabz :) |
| ||
| Looking good. Is it possible to add a feature to disable texture filtering so that textures look sharp and pixelly for that retro look? Keep up the good work, Jason. |
| ||
| Cheers QuickSilva and HotShot! ;) Is it possible to add a feature to disble texture filtering so that textures look sharp and pixelly for that retro look? Not sure about that using sprites.. so I'll put that on the research TODO list! :D Just a note: Can anyone confirm that after removing the 'Microsoft.VC90.CRT' folder from the same folder as the dll, that the application doesnt bork with a 'side-by-side' error on a machine that DOESNT have Visual C++ 2008 (Express) installed. Tar Dabz |
| ||
| New home for DX9 Plus:- http://www.directxion.com Still needs a bit more, erm, info, but theres a public download there for version 0.6. Cheers Dabz |
| ||
| Awesome choice for a domain name! |
| ||
| Will this give BlitzPlus improved transparency? I want semi transparent images in my game but there's no good way to do this with native B+... |
| ||
| Yea Problay would impove transparency! |
| ||
| Bugger, forgot... The source (C++) for this is here:- http://dabz.syntaxbomb.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=26 It'll need rejigging to get it back to a DLL, nothing major though, or at least it shouldnt be! ;) Dabz |
| ||
| So we can expect a DLL soon? And is there any transparency capability or not? I've been getting around it by making every other line but its pretty shoddy for anything complex. Thanks Dabz |
| ||
| And is there any transparency capability or not? Alpha is in, as in real-time alpha, yes, as well as real-time rotation & scaling. It works pretty much the same as BlitzMax's graphical commands So we can expect a DLL soon? I afraid I wont have time as I'm knacker deep in another project which seemed to overtake this one... Which is why I released the source. :( The code is all there, so someone may be able to package it up better than me if they are interested. Sorry if that seems like a bombshell Sauer mate... Maybe have a tinker yourself! ;) Never too late to do a drop of C++!!! ;D Dabz |
| ||
| Well I'm currently in the process of learning C at school, but in looking at some stuff about DLL's, I think (make that 'know') it is beyond my abilities at this point. Plus I'm assuming C != C++ in many aspects. I went into Code::Blocks, my C/C++ IDE and tried using the 'create DLL' option but the whole 'having no idea what I'm doing' thing really got in my way. I appreciate what you have done though, and hopefully someone of more use than I will attempt to do this. Either that or I'll come back in a year or two with a bit more knowledge and do it myself ;) |
| ||
| Check out the BlitzPlus/userlibs folder for a quick read-me .txt file regarding how to build DLL's, then use them in BlitzPlus! :) Dabz |
| ||
| Well I was reading way to far into the articles I found about DLL's. Seems a lot less complicated than I imagined, and I'd like to give it another go. It seems your site is down though, and the syntax bomb thread does not exist any more either. |
| ||
| Here you go:- http://www.dabz.syntaxbomb.com/Files/srcDX9Plus1_0.zip Let me know how you get on Sauer! :) Dabz |
