Hi, thanks for the reply,
I am using Visual Studio 2005 to build my installer and the external program is written in C#.
After a bit of research I have discovered that I can build...

Hi,
Its my first time building an installer using VS2005 so I hope this is an easy problem to fix. I have a custom action that calls an external program passing arguments to it. I want to pass...

Hi Joe123,
With VB6 if I remember, you use key events on the form (use the drop down boxes near the top of the IDE).
If you want to make a decent platformer then learn BitBlt, its a fairly...
-
When you say 'import' I guess you want to render the model some way, therefore you would need some kind of graphics library to work with such as DirectX or OpenGL, either that or you could use a...
-
Oops, yes, the original poster said VB.net not VB6. My mistake.
-
To start I recommend learning BitBlt. Its a simple graphics API that will allow you to draw 2D sprites.
-
Yes, you ideally want to put as much work to the server as possible so that the game is more consistant and hacker proof. If you were to write a real-time game then for perfomance reasons you would...
-
@HACK: C#, I will look into TAPI.
@RobDog888: Right, I did not think of that :S

Hi, after much Googling I have found very little information. I want to be able to get my phone to dial a number from code. Is this even possible?
-
I too know only the basics of sending an receiving data and I too have written a chat client. I suggest Peer to Peer connections, that way no computer acts as a server and each client manages their...

Hi 2ManyGuys,
Your post confuses me somewhat, you want to learn actionscript/flash and/or VB.net? Could you clarify what your actual question is?
-
DirectX comprises of:
Direct3D: For graphics
DirectMusic/DirectSound: For audio
DirectInput: For keyboard and mouse input
DirectPlay: For networking
DirectShow: For playing certain media types...
-
Sure, look in my signature. It's where I learned VB6+DX8.
Happy Coding!
-
If you are using VB6 then you should not be able to use the .net framework, both VB.net and C# can though. System.Drawing.Dll is part of the .net framework and I believe that GDI+ is part of the Com...
-
There are lots of ways of storing the data you specified, in a SQL table, in a simple text file etc.
I guess certain commands would cause actual code to execute (meaning things will actually...
-
The Windows API? I suggest googling it, finding other peoples code and see how they did it.

Ah, you mean Path Finding, its to do with Traditional AI by the way so bear that in mind. A* path finding is your best bet, avoid learning other kinds as you will waste your time, (unless you are...

What platform are you aiming for? I am guessing some kind of mobile phone....
-
Could you be more specific? I could explain how you would achieve these effects in DirectX if that is what you want.
-
I would recommend XNA too, except it can get very complex very quickly if you are not careful. XNA is a framework for making games essentially but it makes things harder through its content...
-
I have used the irrlicht engine and it does not let you write in any language. It is a powerful graphics engine that wraps around DirectX8 or 9 or OpenGL. What I think scott brady is trying to say is...
-
Can't you draw the picture or google it? And what has this got to do with programming? :confused:
I'm sorry, I can't find any pictures on google myself nor can I draw. I would guess that they...
-
You are asking for a picture? :confused:
-
I would recommend Neural networks. Your post does say "TEACH the computer" so why not? They appear mathmatically complex but are quite simple, except when you research deeply into it.
But I think...
-
It would be really helpful if you could zip up your project and code and post it as an attachment. That is so we can can look at it easier because posting massive post like you have done will scare...
-
DirectX8 works with VB. If you want to use DirectX9 or later then you need to look into C++, C# or VB.net. I would also recommend looking at OpenGL but I personally have found it to be quite awkward....
-
As in its X and Y coordinates so you could draw over the window. Sorry for being ambiguous
I have not tried drawing over a game but I have drawn over the task bar using DirectDraw7.
-
Use DirectDraw7. Get the screen's surface and then draw text to that. It should draw to the screen on top of everything (like the start bar).
...
-
The only two things I can think of are:
1) Draw the text in their window: You would need the handle of the window that you are drawing to and a deep knowledge of their code.
2) Draw the text...

Got it!
When you load sprites, make sure you load them with the 'Unknown' format (D3DFMT_UNKNOWN). Otherwise for some strange reason alphablending does not work...
Next, you need to remove...
-
Thanks, I am looking into it now...:D
-
Sorry Guys, bad pseudocode, mine was just a snippet and a bad one at that. I am too used to DX9 in C# where X and Y are the other way around. On top of that my pseudocode is incomplete e.g. it was a...
-
I can suggest looking at this page: http://directx4vb.vbgamer.com/DirectX4VB/Tutorials/DirectX8/GR_Lesson12.asp#6
As it talks about Multi Pass alphablending (transparency). You are trying to do...
-
Pseudocode (FTW):
Y = Y + JumpSpeed;
if(JumpSpeed > 0) {JumpSpeed--;}
if(jump button pressed) {JumpSpeed = 10;}
-
Have you got the managed runtime/SDK?
Are you using C# or VB.net?
-
Nice MM,
I keep on getting 0wned by that computer! Seems a bit too chaotic for my liking if you turned the rate of fire down considerably so that players would have to think about their shots...
-
New Shoes? :eek: :confused: :lol: :)
-
Jamie,
I can't use the engine myself simply because I am running linux here and all the computers in my uni either don't have DX8 installed or are running Vista (which drops its support for VB6...
-
You could start by learning DirectX8 ;) (look in my signature)
Or
You know Dx8 and you want to learn how to stick all your skills together in an engine. See above post :)
