I wouldn't be suprised if I have missed the odd deallocation of some memory becuase I haven't properly check it :(.

Is it a memory leak? If so I bet it has something with the 2 threads you have made.


BTW I am also getting this error:

Direct3D9: :BackBufferCount not specified, considered default 1


Why is your code like this?

Code:

---


if (bWindowed)
        {
                g_d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = d3ddm.Format;
                g_d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
               
                // Make sure the window is the same size...
                g_XRes = XRes;
                g_YRes = YRes;
               
                RECT* pScreen = NULL;
                pScreen = new RECT;
               
                GetWindowRect(hWnd, pScreen);
                MoveWindow(hWnd, pScreen->left, pScreen->top, g_XRes, g_YRes, true);
               
                delete pScreen;
        }
        else
        {
                g_d3dpp.BackBufferWidth = XRes;
                g_d3dpp.BackBufferHeight = YRes;
                g_d3dpp.BackBufferCount = 1;
                g_d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8;
                g_d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_FLIP;
        }

D3DCREATE_PUREDEVICE
Specifies that Direct3D does not support Get* calls for anything that can be stored in state blocks. It also tells Direct3D not to provide any emulation services for vertex processing. This means that if the device does not support vertex processing, then the application can use only post-transformed vertices.

D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING
Specifies hardware vertex processing.

What is actualy the diffrence? The Get thingy?

As for the code it should be:

Code:

---

        if (bWindowed)
        {
                g_d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = d3ddm.Format;
                g_d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
               
                // Make sure the window is the same size...
                g_XRes = XRes;
                g_YRes = YRes;
               
                RECT* pScreen = NULL;
                pScreen = new RECT;
               
                GetWindowRect(hWnd, pScreen);
                MoveWindow(hWnd, pScreen->left, pScreen->top, g_XRes, g_YRes, true);
               
                delete pScreen;
        }
        else
        {
                g_d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8;
                g_d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_FLIP;

        g_d3dpp.BackBufferWidth = XRes;
        g_d3dpp.BackBufferHeight = YRes;
        g_d3dpp.BackBufferCount = 1;

I think I was thinking of how Dx7 handled windowed mode (no back buffer ;)).

Yea I think so, I just saw it once a long time ago and ever since I have used it to set up a D3D Device :blush:. Basically I was to believe that it went in order of best to worst:
PureDevice
Hardware Processing
Software Processing

This was in VB and it never used the PureDevice for my old GPU anyway so I couldn't tell what the error had been :(.

OK...I can agree to that...;)...


BTW I am also getting this error:

Direct3D9: (INFO) :Failed to create driver indexbuffer


I bet that must be a ATI driver error actualy. Can't belive it. Maybe it is a good thing that you have NViDIA and I have ATI. Then we get to test it on both cards...;)

Well well, it at least works now. But the last memory probelm is a *****. It looks like some of the DX objects don't get cleared up before the threads finishes...did you add some DI or something that you havn't made the Free code for or something? Or are you forgetting to call it or something?

Yea, mind I wish I was back to ATi, I am really starting to ahte this card :cry:. It overheats far too much. Could just be my case has bad ventalation but either way its far too hot :(.

If the multi threading is causing the problem with the memory error then I have an idea why and will test something.....

ARe you releasing it with the same thread as you are creating it?

The problem is if you close the program by clicking the X button it doesn't terminate the Game Thread, only the window which in turn "Terminates" the game thread. And this way doesn't let it free the memory. I designed the Game Thread to be closed from within itself and didn't think about it being closed due to a message.

All works now, to get these results close the window using the Esacpe Key, I will code the stuff that will make the X button work but for now stick witht he escape key ;). Shouldn't take me long to code it I think :D :D :D.

Getting smaller warnings and info texts every time..:D

I have made two of the comments in bold. Do you think the first "warning" there is good, or bad? Is it becuase I have Win2K and you XP?


The second one I don't like at all....I actualy hate it...:(

BTW I have asked abou the DBG files on the MSDN forum. Maybe I get an answer to that too...:D

Should we add a DI version like we do for D3D?

And what is that truncating of constant value meaning?

Ohhh....I got it...you are usign DI8....:D

I was just gonna point out you aren't running XP then, but I guess you thought of that already :rolleyes:.

As for the index buffer I'm not sure what to think, cos we aren't trying to use an index buffer (yet) :sick:.

At least the "Real" errors are gone ;).

Yea thats why I was asking in the games section about Caps so I could check for different formats :(. My card doesn't support D32 :eek: but does support D24, ATi's normally support D32 but not D24 :rolleyes:


Why did you think this was important at the moment though ?

We must rememer tomorrow to put that on the site (the Coding Standards ;))

Which ever of us gets time first I guess. If I don't see you on line in the morning I will do it after I fix the Closing error. If you are already on line in the mornign then I will ask you if you have done it yet, sound good ?

I am getting a warning when compiling in the DInput code, because it is a unknown version. I have only DX9b Summer Update SDK installed on this machine. But you are using DI 8 to install the keyboard. Thats why I am getting the compiler warning...;)

Ow, explains why i have it too :(. I didn't really think it through had I :(. Well I planed to change it to Dx9 later on anyway ;).

Hope I didn't miss anything:


http://vbforums.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=1710440

You know that the GameMain also includes the Header from the MyDirectX file. So it can access some of the functions in it ;), not all though.

And winmin inclused both mydirectx and gamemain...


#include "gamemain.h"
#include "mydirectx.h"

BTW there is some problems with the DInput when using Fullscreen and pressing Alt + TAB. Also there is a load of debug errors I will need to see to as well. The Device recovery is not finished yet so I was expecting this anyway ;).

If you are using a buffer with DI,then you have to watch for overflow....


BTW it's a pain to set up this Groupware..:D...I have to read and do things like this..:D

I have no idea what to do with that...and why to do it..:D

For the PHP thing I wouldn't have access to do that kind of stuff. That looks like a Configuation script that apache uses :(. Yo might have to ask your host if they will let you put it on? I dought my host would let me though :(.



As for the DInput thing, I think its to do with I have deleted the pointer when the device is lost and I shouldn't have, oops.

Not sure if my wants to do it either..:(....this realy suck...I wish you where at the same school as me, then you could have uploaded it to our server. I could have made a new project on my schools server. That page is realy good...

I'm gonna see about updating the DInput stuff to Dx9 seen as though neither of us have the Dx8 SDK and this will no dought be causing errors ;).


BTW I added the stuff to the Sidebar on the site :D. And my website is back on-line :D:D.

05:09 thats a wrap...the two threads are still bugging us.


Bugs:

- Using 100% CPU when in Paused mode.
- The other thread is not sleeping when we have lost the device in the GameLoop()

Remarks

IDirectInput8::ConfigureDevices was designed to work in the Microsoft Direct3D® 8.x environment. Developers should use the DIConfig Sample to produce the same results in the Direct3D 9.0 environment.

Hardware vendors provide bitmaps and other display information for their device.

Before calling the method, an application can modify the text labels associated with each action by changing the value in the lptszActionName member of the DIACTION structure.

Configuration is stored for each user of each device for each game. The information can be retrieved by the IDirectInputDevice8::BuildActionMap method.

By default, acceleration is supported for these pixel formats:


A1R5G5B5
16-bit pixel format with 5 bits reserved for each color and 1 bit reserved for alpha (transparent texel).

A8R8G8B8
32-bit ARGB pixel format with alpha.

R9G8B8
24-bit RGB pixel format.

X1R5G5B5
16-bit pixel format with 5 bits reserved for each color.

X8R8G8B8
32-bit RGB pixel format with 8 bits reserved for each color.


Other formats will result in color conversion and dramatically slow the frame rate.


Note Even if the cooperative level for the application is disabling the Microsoft Windows® logo key passively through an exclusive cooperative level or actively through use of the DISCL_NOWINKEY flag, that key will be active while the default action mapping user interface (UI) is displayed.
