[DX7]How the hell do you use png-format in DX7????

[Compact3]

I read I could use DX7 with png-format, but I just can't. Everytime I try to load a png-image it just doesn't work. Can anyone show me THE code(line) I need to use png-images with DX7?


ps: My png-images have alpha...

You should really dump DX7 anyways, most cards now and soon will no longer support it.

[Compact3]

But DX8 is much harder to understand to use with 2D....

[Fromethius]

but DX9 is beast at 2D. I am good with 2D. Hit me up sometime if you want.

[Compact3]

Does vb work with DX9?
And if so, can you teach me how to use it with 2D?

[Fromethius]

Uhh yea!

[vbNeo]

Wouldn't it somewhat defeat the purpose to have DirectX if there were no libraries interfacing it? - of course VB supports it.

[singularis]

Just to clarify..... VB does not work with DX9! VB.net works with DX9!

you cant do pngs from what i remember... and yeah dude stick with directx7 its fine, dont listen to there garbage, i mean sure there is better technology but im sure your just programming for fun or what not, let me post some tutorials i wrote in dx7, you may or may not like them


here these are basic, and a cool one on gamma correction, and a neat one on autoclipping i might find one more..

and the clipping one.. has a function i created to set up your images... its all noted, if you can understand it you will relize how amazingly awesome it is, and makes it so much easier to introduce images into your program...
