VERY NICE thank you, do you have the equivalent to picking,entityinview or entityvisible? I got blitz_gluPerspective- not found I put the DLL's in every folder I could think of and no joy, also put decls into userlibs folder

M2PLAY (Posted 2005) [#3]

Ohh!!! THANKS Antony

Dragon57 (Posted 2005) [#4]

Many thanks!

sigi (Posted 2005) [#5]

Many thanks too, ... ? Ouch, i had paid for it. :(

TartanTangerine (was Indiepath) (Posted 2005) [#6]

yeah how much did we pay?

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#7]

25 pounds. That was my twin brother. Antome.. I'm antony. Remember?

TartanTangerine (was Indiepath) (Posted 2005) [#8]

Lol, I don't mind it's a cool bit of software... I only wish I had time to learn it..

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#9]

Slenker, that is from the gl userib. It's there. Or you're using a version of b3d that is newer.

Dustin (Posted 2005) [#10]

I'm getting the same error. Is there a version of Blitz we should/shouldn't use?

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#11]

I don't have Blitz3D anymore, so maybe. Try the version circa last november. It's the same package everyone else got. So the files are there.

slenkar (Posted 2005) [#12]

yes Im using the latest version of B3D, Could anyone compile it so it works on the latest version? or does that involve giving away trade secrets,

Raitsun (Posted 2005) [#13]

neat.... thanks!!

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#14]

Slenker, did you copy the .dlls in the dll folder into system32. Also, to compile the examples you need to copy the include folder into the example folder. or copy them into the main folder. There was a bug in the last version. SetentityScale defaults to 0,0,0 as v1.2 introduced true hierachy(sp?) based meshes. Scale is accumulative across sub entities.

slenkar (Posted 2005) [#15]

yah I copied the files in the right places, still didnt work

Braincell (Posted 2005) [#16]

This sounds very good. Too bad you didn't post it just a little bit earlier. I might use it, i'll at least have a look at what it can do, so thanks.

Erroneouss (Posted 2005) [#18]

Doesn't work because of the BankPointer stuffermabobbers...

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#19]

What bank pointer stuff? You shouldn't need any other files or alterations, the examples should run right off the bat. You have to scale Entities to 1,1,1 if you're using the latest update, but other than that..not sure.

Naughty Alien (Posted 2005) [#20]

..not working here too..

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#21]

Well, (bleep) it. I don't have b3d anymore so I can't fix it for the latest version. There are no missing files.

Warren (Posted 2005) [#22]

Can't you just download it again?

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#23]

Hi, This is Steve Johnson. Representive of Imlock Layer's Ltd. Our client has no knowledge of any means of obtaining a downloadable copy of Blitz3D. Any such further allegations shall be dealt with via Cease and decist and/or court procedings. Yo.

N (Posted 2005) [#24]

There are no missing files. That's a lie ;)

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#25]

That's a lie ;) .....<Enter words of generic rage> <Enter words of generic 'stop myself from getting banned' word> <Enter generic snide but itnerceptable sarcastic remark concerning your mother and Chris Tucker> <Get post locked>

Erroneouss (Posted 2005) [#26]

You sure you didn't forget any files? Like, you are super sure?

Red Ocktober (Posted 2005) [#27]

ahahahahahahaaaaa... are ya absolutely, positutely, unimutably sure... :) --Mike

Cronos (Posted 2005) [#28]

ERROR - blitz_gluPerspective NOT FOUND ???? Glu32.decls - OK NEW ERROR - Blitz_NuberOfPixelFormats NOT FOUND ????

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#29]

You sure you didn't forget any files? Like, you are super sure? I'm more sure than Andrew Sure of Sure Industaries, residing on the off-shore island of Shore World, in the galaxy cluster Shorey Way. That's pretty damn sure. -edit-I apprently forgot how to spell sure half way through that sentence... ERROR - blitz_gluPerspective NOT FOUND ???? Glu32.decls - OK NEW ERROR - Blitz_NuberOfPixelFormats NOT FOUND ???? (Bleep) you. :) None of these errors were reported during the initial release so I don't know.. I'm not like offering support for this anymore..it was just supposed to be a freebie. <Insert more grumbling>

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#30]

ahahahahahahaaaaa... are ya absolutely, positutely, unimutably sure... :) That's my line, you bitch!

N (Posted 2005) [#31]

That's pretty damn sure. That doesn't change the fact that you screwed up the release ;)

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#32]

That doesn't change the fact that you screwed up the release ;) I was just going to slag you off and use chris tucker in some form or another and probably your mother too, but instead I'll just ask...how so? :)

Damien Sturdy (Posted 2005) [#33]

Hows bout someone lists what files they DID get? if blitz isnt finding the functions, something that should be there, isnt. Ant, you on the spliff again? ;D

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#34]

Ant, you on the spliff again? ;D No. Yes. No. Yes. No. I mean... Get a warrent.

Red Ocktober (Posted 2005) [#35]

hey... i thought i told you about dat stuff... stay clean... be mean... just say no... and be happy... hey... look at me... CLEAN AND FREE SINCE 1493... --Mike

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#36]

Wow, you're pretty lively for a 500 year old. :)

Damien Sturdy (Posted 2005) [#37]

I did what i could Ant, the missing functions are not defined anywhere. You're teasing us now man. :D

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#38]

LIIIIAR! :) Check Peter Schutzl DirectGL wrapper, they're from that.

Picklesworth (Posted 2005) [#39]

I've actually had those sorts of troubles recently, going back to Vivid to play about with things a bit. It worked before, and now doesn't. This had better not be Windows's fault...

puki (Posted 2005) [#40]

I reckon "Antony" and "halo" should team-up to work on technical stuff.

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#41]

Oh "You" "do" "do" "you" "Good" "to" "Know"

puki (Posted 2005) [#42]

In fact, how about "halo", "Antony" and "Noel Cower"? All have similar programming interests - engine-type stuff.

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#43]

"No."

puki (Posted 2005) [#44]

Yeh, it would be like "Carmack", "Abrash" and "Romero" - "Cower", "Antony" and "halo" needs to change his name to something beginning with 'R'.

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#45]

If I introduce you to this inanimate brick wall, will you consider offering it your sage instead? I can spray paint the c.a.r all over it if it makes a more appealing prospect.

Red Ocktober (Posted 2005) [#46]

that's right Ant... make the customer feel right at home... --Mike

Naughty Alien (Posted 2005) [#47]

..this thing just not working..bad joke..

AdrianT (Posted 2005) [#48]

BTW after reading this thread I searched my email archives for attachments Ant sent me. I have the following VividGL files. VividGL-Lite-SDK-V1.exe 3.66 MB Update1.rar 103kb Update2.zip 1.5mb don't know if thats the same thing as what you guys have, all I know is that Ant sent me these when we were messing around with vivid whilst working on stuff together.

Hotcakes (Posted 2005) [#49]

Yeh, it would be like "Carmack", "Abrash" and "Romero" - "Cower", "Antony" and "halo" needs to change his name to something beginning with 'R'. Well at least C.A.R. sounds the same as C.A.H. =]

AdrianT (Posted 2005) [#50]

heh well both halo and ant have the ego's to take the place of Romero, allthough Ant's the one always trying to grab the attention and build the hype. So he'd fit those shoes best :)

Leiden (Posted 2005) [#51]

Wow this is awesome Antony, thankx -- XD!

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#52]

started vivid_example1.bb Get error in blitz_gl.bb "function blitz_gluPerspective not found" both files installed: VividGL-Lite-SDK-V1.exe Update2.exe all decls installed, some functions like "blitz_glDepthRange" present, some other not. @evak where get you these three files? Shodan

Leiden (Posted 2005) [#53]

Links are down :(

AdrianT (Posted 2005) [#54]

Shodan, Antony sent them via email whilst he was writing Vivid.

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#55]

What can i do to run this properly? I think i need this Update1.rar 103kb.

AdrianT (Posted 2005) [#56]

well I guess it's ok since you already have 1,0 and update 2 http://s93153354.onlinehome.us/update1.rar No clue if it works or not. I'll leave it up for a few hours.

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#57]

thanks for this file i will test it. Shodan

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#58]

This Update1.rar really helps. It works now. Thank you Evak. :-) cu Shodan

Mikele (Posted 2005) [#59]

links are dead. can someone send me sdk+updates via email? please...

AdrianT (Posted 2005) [#60]

glad it seems to be working shodan :).

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#61]

Yes, Evak is now the official person to bug concerning VividGL 3D. (Scarpers)

ozak (Posted 2005) [#62]

Links are still down?

slenkar (Posted 2005) [#63]

Can someone please put all the necessary files in the same post or zip file

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#64]

I can Upload these files to my webspace if Evak or Antony allows it. Other Questions to Antony. -The Helpdocs seems to be incomplete. Did you update this? -When can we get some tutorials from you, that shows Shader-Handling and other things? cu Shodan

AntonyWells (Posted 2005) [#65]

Yeah upload it if you like. Evak can't allow it..Although his involvement in Vivid was critical. Very critical. Critical of just about everything vivid did in fact..:) Tutorials, I don't think so. I can't remember much of Vivid's workings by now. I'd be happy to host any on my site if someone wishes to do some though, or even include them with vivid. Vivid is open source btw, so people can add to it.

L_Draven (Posted 2005) [#66]

hi all, im interested in test vivid-gl too. Please post the url to the files Shodan when you upload it, thanks. thanks antony too for the vividgl ;-).

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#67]

now... here the links to vivdGL: http://www.selfmadegames.de/VividGL-Lite-SDK-V1.exe http://www.selfmadegames.de/Update1.rar http://www.selfmadegames.de/Update2.exe Files are present as long as needed. Shodan

Mikele (Posted 2005) [#68]

thx Shodan... and Antony :)

L_Draven (Posted 2005) [#69]

Thanks for the links Shodan. Anyone can tell me what is the steps for install and run de exzamples???? They dont work me. Message: "User lib not found" I have the dlls in system32 folder and in the main folder of the project, the DECLS files in userlibs of the Blitz folder. I must overwrite the files of the vividGL-Lite-SDK.exe with the update1 files?? and then overwrite with the update 2 files?? Please explain me how install everything correctly. Thanks again.

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#70]

Its right, install the sdk, overwrite it with update1 and update2. I´ve also tested various .dll-locations. At least i´ve copied the .dll´s to Blitz3d\bin and Windows\system. The decls to \userlibs and the includes-folder complete into the examples-folder. thats all. i had compare the sdk and update2, with update1. In update1 really some decls more as in update2. This was, why some glu_.... functions are not present. @ antony: How can i set Texture-Flags like alpha,masked,reflection etc. with Vivid? Shodan

L_Draven (Posted 2005) [#71]

Thansk Shodan i followed your instructions but i have the same error, when i open the Vivid_example1.bb when i run it i have this error: "User lib not found", in debug mode the program stops in this line: "Texture_InitSystem();vital call.do not remove or texture support will not function at all" Any idea?? Thanks again.

L_Draven (Posted 2005) [#72]

nobody can help me please?? Thanks

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#73]

Seems to be the decls are present, but the dll was not found. I´ve tried to reproduce this error. When i remove the decl, Blitz does not found the specific function. Did you copy the dll´s to blitz\bin?

L_Draven (Posted 2005) [#74]

Thanks for answering Shodan Yes, i have copied dll´s in Blitz3D\bin and windows\system dir and in the same folder of the examples but dont work Can you send me your dll´s and decls??? my email is: ldraven@... Thanks a million. Regards.

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#75]

i´ve send you an Email,but i get a mailer-damon. Seems to be unreachable. Is your Email-adress inactive? did you have another?

L_Draven (Posted 2005) [#76]

Thanks Shodan, My adresses: - ldraven@... ---> the first letter is a "L", I think that you put an "I" in first letter (is LDRAVEN like my nick but without "_" ) :-) (dont worry Shodan a lot of people has the same error). This account is active. - oceanborn87@... Thanks for all Shodan again. Sorry the annoyances. (and my english ;-))

Shodan (Posted 2005) [#77]

email send. Hope its incoming by you. Shodan

L_Draven (Posted 2005) [#78]

A lot of thanks Shodan!!! , i received the email i copied the dll to the Program File\Blitz3D\bin folder and in the same folder of the example and the decls to the userlibs folder, i opened the Vivid_example1.bb but i have the same error "User lib not found" :-(. I dont know, im becoming crazy :-) Thanks again.
