Title: A little fire using GDI+
Post by: Phoenix on December 24, 2004, 11:12:01 PM
For all of you living in cold areas of this world, here is a little "fire" for your monitor.

This is my first app for windows in asm - and im proud  :toothy that i got this working. But, however,
i think this needs a lot of optimization. So please have a look, every help is greatly appreciated.

Dependencies: gdiplus.dll - LIB and INC-files are included within the zip-file.

Merry Christmas!

Phoenix,
What a fantastic job , I haven't looked at the code behind the application, yet, but that is a very kewl effect!

Thank you, but the idea for this effect is not mine. This was done by Cicri on PSC in VB6 (as mentioned in code and about), all i did is to develop it further by using gdi+ and asm.
However, i have a working version of it in VB6 that shows text above the flames which burns after a while. But it is still a lot of work to implement this in asm.

Just noticed that i forgot to prevent the window being resized smaller than 130 pixels in height  :red . This may cause unexpected results. I'll try a fix tomorrow.

Regards, Phoenix

DLL is missing

Don't know what is going on but as I try to re-assemble your Fire.asm it turns out that there are many missing .inc files, missing .lib files. After I went to get all the missing files and add then in the source I get a really big error report from the assemble and or link. In any event I can't get it to compile nor can I run the .exe that was in the zip file because of missisng DLL

Hi All,
The attached zipfile has been reworked so it assembles without error and a batch file has been included.  Pheonix included all the files you needed to rebuild his project.  I just had to modify two inc files because they did not have the full paths to the masm32 inc and lib files.  As far as the gdiplus.dll file goes, it should already be in the windows directory, it is on my machine and the exe runs without error.  Thanks.

I also built the file you posted the source (by ronybc, actually) and it is a nice fireworks demo.  Not the same as what Phoenix's program does, at all, but still nice.

Anyway I have seen this example. I think bitrake made a screensaver version of it before.

I have Windows 98 (not SE) and I did a search for 'gdi' and found no hits on gdiplus.dll. Is this a DLL for later versions of Windows?

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdicpp/gdiplus/gdiplus.asp, there is a version for win98, it can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdkredist.htm

Thanks for the link info however right after I posted I found the DLL on the Web and download it from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplus and put the DLL in the same folder as the program and it works great.

I am glad you solved your problem and can see how kewl the program is.  I would encourage you to place the dll in the c:\windows\system directory so you can use it for all your GDI+ needs.

Hi all,

I should have mentioned that i did this code using WinAsm Studio, as the paths are declared in general there i did forget to do this for the posting.Sorry!

Does someone have ideas to optimize the code? I also have a little problem with the settimer_api, seems that windows accepts only steps of 10 ms, so if you set uElapse to 25, the timerproc is called every 30ms.

I don't know much about it, but I think you are supposed to use the multimedia timers for tasks that require a high timing accuracy.

MSDN: Multimedia Timers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_timers.asp)

The functions seem to be easy to use, and everything I tested other than timeBeginPeriod (and timeEndPeriod) seemed to work just as I expected. On the one system I tested the timeGetDevCaps function returned minimum and maximum periods of 1 and 1000000ms.

For Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98, install gdiplus.dll into the private directory of the application not into the system directory.

In addition to the rights granted in Section 1 of the Agreement ("Agreement"), with respect to gdiplus.dll for Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98, you have the following non-exclusive, royalty free rights subject to the Distribution Requirements detailed in Section 1 of the Agreement:

We are talking about installing it in win98, here, where there is NO possible collision with a previous version as it never was released with this windows version.

GDI+ was not released with Windows 2000, NT4, or ME, but that specific warning includes those versions.

QuoteGDI+ can be used in all Windows-based applications. GDI+ is new technology that is included in Windows XP and the Windows Server 2003. It is required as a redistributable for applications that run on the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 SP6, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) operating systems.

Perhaps this is a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing, but Microsoft could have had a good reason for the warning, and I suspect that security might be part of it.

What should happen if using gdiplus.dll? This is part of XP, and MS states that it works with 98, Me, W2k and so on. I use gdiplus on a W2K-system, and it is installed in the system32-directory. So what is the difference, if we put it to the application-directory or to the system32-directory?

As far as i know, the security problem is in the JPEG Parsing Engine (Buffer Overflow) so this might be the problem with it.

For anything else, i noticed that gdi+ is very powerful, it is sometimes unbelievable what is possible. And we can use it from every HLL or with asm using flat API calls with great results.

QuoteSo what is the difference, if we put it to the application-directory or to the system32-directory?

I think I found the likely explanation  here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsecure/html/gdiplus10security.asp):
Quote
Although the updated GDIPlus.dll is designed to be compatible with previous versions, there are always applications that are too tightly designed to the idiosyncrasies of a given version. The result can be a situation not anticipated by you or the application developer. So we encourage you to work in concert with your software vendor for an update that has been tested with the latest version of GDI+.

Basically, it seems that Microsoft wants to avoid a situation where the updated GDIPlus.dll breaks existing applications. For Windows 98 SE and 2000 there is a relatively simple method of forcing an existing application to use a local copy of the DLL -- see Private DLLs, The second side-by-side approach... here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsetup/html/dlldanger1.asp). So I now think it would be reasonable to put the DLL in the system/system32 directory, and then force any application that breaks to use the local copy.

MichaelW: Thank you for your explanations (and patience), i think they made me a little bit more careful. But, however, i think the technology behind gdiplus is one for the future, and the up to date version of this dll can be used without doubt, either in system32- or application-directory. The reason for me to put it into the system32-directory on my system is that - with all versions of my vb and asm-projects - I had it a lot of times on my harddrive. But i will do a further version-check in future!
