Dx Dd

what does -2147024809 mean in direct draw? i looked google cant find it

Where did you get that?

it returned from blitfast..

VB Code:

Let I = Map.Object(L, X, Y)
                    If Not I < 0 And Not I > TileObjectCount Then
                        Let rTile.Left = 0
                        Let rTile.Top = 0
                        Let rTile.Right = TileObjects(I).Width
                        Let rTile.Bottom = TileObjects(I).Height
                        
                        Debug.Print BufferSurface.ddSurface.BltFast(xDest, yDest, TileObjects(I).ddSurface, rTile, DDBLTFAST_DONOTWAIT Or DDBLTFAST_SRCCOLORKEY)
                    End If

That one returns HRESULT. Do that, and add a break point on the next line, then check the return value. I can't remember what it is defind as.

its an error i need to know what it means

Do as I said and you will find out....;)

there is no such thing in VB

Now I start to remember why I left VB...:)...well it can only be these values:


DD_OK The method succeeded.
DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS One or more of the input parameters is invalid.
DDERR_SURFACELOST Access to this surface is being refused because the surface memory is gone. The DirectDrawSurface object representing this surface should have Restore called on it.
DDERR_SURFACEBUSY Access to this surface is being refused because the surface is already locked by another thread.
DDERR_INVALIDOBJECT DirectDraw received a pointer that was an invalid DirectDraw object.
DDERR_INVALIDRECT Rectangle provided was invalid.
DDERR_EXCEPTION An exception was encountered while performing the requested operation.
DDERR_UNSUPPORTED Action not supported.
DDERR_GENERIC Generic failure.
DDERR_NOBLTHW No blitter hardware present.



I guess you just have to do a comare then....

there is nowhere i can see what my error code means

BTW I bet it is because the GPU is bussy. Because you are using DDBLTFAST_DONOTWAIT. BltFast tends to do that to you if you don't use the DDBLTFAST_WAIT flag...;)

did that already
nothing works

It has to I don't belive you....:)....well, you can always make your own error look up function, or you can use Lucky's error look up module:
