Hi

I'm very happy with DarkSDK, but there is
something with the mouse commands dbMouseMoveX(),
dbMouseMoveY(). Are they working ok?

Thanks

Not a biggy, but I've just noticed that the samples haven't been updated for the 1.1 update, and so they no longer compile (without a little work to change some of the function names).

For example, in the particle example...

dbPositionParticlesEmissions should be dbPositionParticleEmmissions and dbSetParticleEmissions should actually be dbSetParticleEmmissions

Everytime I make a call to dbCreateBitmap, my entire scene turns black.

Can someone confirm this for me ?

In sdk 1.0 AND sdk 1.1.1 :

dbGetTerrainXSize and dbGetTerrainZSize always return 0



Quote: " there is something with the mouse commands dbMouseMoveX(), dbMouseMoveY(). Are they working ok? "


Well I had not written about it because I could not be more specific than PeterG but I have also come across a problem with dbMouseMoveX() and dbMouseMoveY() when using SDK 1.0: in some conditions that I could not determine exactly, both functions started returning 0 during runtime while they were functioning correctly a moment before. This problem seems to have disappeared with SDK 1.1.1. PeterG, which version of the SDK are you using ?

Haven't seen this one posted yet:

In the header, "DarkSDKText.h", dbStr() for a double is defined:

double dbStrDouble ( double dValue );

Instead of :

char* dbStr ( double dValue );

I'm using 1.1.1beta with VS2003

It might be that its too late for me to figure this oone out, but i'm getting a link error when I use dbUpper()

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "char * __cdecl dbUpper(char *)" (?dbUpper@@YAPADPAD@Z)

I got 1.1.1beta and VS2003. It might just be a sync problem with my lib files. I have not tryed rolling them back. I'll double check them tomorrow.

Ya know, a version number in the DarkSDK.h file would be helpful. I just noticed that my timestamps are the date that i unzipped the files, so I'm assuming I installed the the beta libs. I thought i did since i have the "extras" folder with the dobj stuff.

I'm still getting a dbUpper() link error. I refreshed my lib/include files to the 1.1.1beta this morning. I can comment out those lines and my game compiles and runs.

I might add that I'm also running june's DirectX sdk. if that helps.

Reported it by mail but suppose it ought to go here as well. The dbSetTerrainHeightmap() func is missing from the lib file (thanks Bouncy). Using the 1.1.1 Beta.

I think i`ve found another of those bug things. Midi files don`t seem to play. I`ll put some source todether for you in a min. Meanwhile here`the offending file.

Edit. Sorry false alarm. I wrote code to prove it and it worked. I think I was just tired or something but I swear that when I changed over to a mp3 file it started working. I changed back to midi and it stopped. Honest!

Tis strange. I tried it again in my game and it didn`t work again. Yet it worked in my test code. It works with mp3 but not midi. All I do is change the last 3 letters(mid to mp3 I`ve also tried .midi but it changes nothing). Apart from that the files are called the same and are in the same place.

Erm yes. Here`s the source code. Enjoy sifting....Seriously is there a problem with the looping function? I don`t think it worked with play music either. I`ll just check.
Edit: Doesn``t work with play either. Thecode that plays it is atthe begining Character1() and the music is loaded at the begining of main.

mmm. Yes it needs a bit of cleaning up. The music file 1 is loaded later. Search for this line "void Character1()" and look just below to see the code that plays song number 2.

Yes.Or the avi video wouldn`t run. At least I think so. I should be looking into static variables instead of using so many globals really.

Okay - I'll look at that soon as possible.

Yes, it does seem to not play...

Try :



Or failing that put the executable in the media folder - it worked fine with the executable there.

Aha. That`s it. I swear it worked before with mp3s but it doesn`t now. That means it`s not a problem with midis. To fix it I put the song lines after the dbSetDir("media"); line and it works. Very strange that dbLoadMusic("media\character1\keith.mid",2); doesn`t work though. Maybe because it needs double back slashes?
Anyhow thanks for your help. I might pay attention to your sig now.

I know you've worked with it and I'm thinking of taking the plunge. How well does the SDK "work" with .Net?

I know you've done a few demos with it is there a link to the outcome of those?

I found a few bugs in 1.1.1 beta:

1) dbMouseX() and dbMouseY() functions return incorrect values. In fact, they return the same values no matter where the mouse pointer is.
2) dbColorObject(1, RGB(255, 0, 0)) colors object 1 as Blue where dbColorObject(1, dbRgb(255, 0, 0)) colors the object Red. dbRgb() works just fine but why is RGB() not working correctly?

Fine here :

Seems fine here too :
As RGB isn't defined in DarkSDK, I presume your using the WinAPI macro/function - which probably means that the red, green and blue colours are calculated the other way with that command.

Uh, excuse my ignorance, but I understood that all DBPro commands were translated to DBSDK.

Mike Johnson posted:

Here: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=43583&b=22

So RGB command should work also, shouldn't it? I use it extensively in my project and I'm about to translate it to DBSDK...

RGB is a windows macro - dbRgb is defined in DarkSDK and dbRGB was its original name.
