Hi,
i am happy to present "hectics" Dreamplayer 2.5 (B3D+Draw3D+BBS)



http://www.abrexxes.huntingsoftware.de/blitz/dp25.zip
(use right mousebutton to move the ui)

The source code you can find in the toolbox entry of BlitzBassStudio. You need BBS 1.5.8 or above to compile.

Have fun.

How come you don't get the wee B3D window displayed at the beginning? How on earth did you manage to surpress it?


Abrexxes(Posted 2008) [#3]
hi, use the code fount in this thread.
http://www.blitzforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24932&highlight=startupfix
Note: "Dieser Code muss nach Graphics eingefügt werden " = "Include this line after the Graphics command"
Then compile a simple exe.

After this download the little programm, start it and drop the final exe to it...done ;)

There are other nice dlls on christianK s page.

WOAH!

Thats way cool! Is it safe?


Abrexxes(Posted 2008) [#5]
As i known yes, the code you need only for windowed apps. If you have a fullscreen app just drop your exe and thats all. (With the code the "window" is not gone, but it is "hidden". so i dont think that you will have problems as it is a simple winAPI command.

Great stuff - thanks for sharing.

So what is it doing to the exe I wonder...

Anyhow using this I can now my Blitz 3D screen savers run *INSIDE* the Windows screen saver preview window *WITHOUT ANY* other horrid little window appearing! That is SO awesome

YEE HAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol I was thinking the same thing awesome :)

@Loktar,

I still think that having VB as the front end (for the config stuff) and getting it to call blitz for the actual saver and preview window is the best of both worlds. Perhaps I create a very basic screen saver framework including VB to show how it all fits together.

I now need to re-release all my savers with the preview window stuff working :-)

I am so happy.

@Abrexxes - sorry for hijacking this thread. I really didn't mean to. In actual fact it has to be said your player thingy is incredible cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again MANY thanks.

Cool stuff, I'm in the throws of making a screensaver(s) myself and am interested in seeing my screenies in the preview window.

Thanks....
