Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Yaeh, your PixelShader is not working. I have a 9800PRO card, so it should handle PS1.3, I havn't had time to see if it is the pixel shader there is something wrong with, or how you call it (what you pass to it and get back) because you didn't add the code.

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Look at ps.txt. It is supposed to generate lines (edge detection)

Yeah the pixel shader exe gives me an Automation Error too. But the non pixel shaded one works great. Here are my specs:
Windows ME
AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz
256 MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Your GPU doesn't support PS 1.3, not even PS 1.0 if I am not wrong.

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Yeah, no ps supported on a geforce4 mx.
Edit: New library will now give you a msgbox stating the error rather than an automation error.

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
This game is great!! It also works great without PS, it would be great if you continued development on it

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Nahhhhhhhh, you think
BitBlt isn't capable of graphics like that. Not even alphablending.

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
I haven't seen the PixelShaded version, but with the right graphics, I'm sure that you'd get an identical look/gameplay using BitBlt(Probably not as fast?)

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Yes, DirectX. You cant do this with bitblt, note the rotations and light effects.

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
You can't do any of these using BitBlt:
Rotation
Lighting
Alphablending
Anti Aliasing
Stretching (unless using StretchBlt)
Transparancy without a mask
And you will never get the speed in BitBlt no where near the same as DirectX.

Obviously....
(Correct me if I'm wrong?) But what I meant was, you could 'fake' what is seen in the game(in the NON PS version), with the right graphics and, rotation would be quite possible without DX...

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Yes you could do it if you made a lot of extra functions. But you could also do it using SetPixel/GetPixel. But as with BitBlt it would be much slower and MUCH more work. And it wouldn't take advantage of your 3D card at all.

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Well you can try but it wont be fast, maybe not even realtime.

Re: VB: Halo 2D Game
Definitely not even in real time.
