The MASM Forum Archive 2004 to 2012

Hello friends!

About 3 month ago I turned to DDraw (DirectX 7 :red) and 2 weeks ago I decided to get familiar with a bit mor e uptodate DX version. Thus I arriced at DX9 and D3D...

Studying the D3D sections of the DX9 SDK and getting some tutorials, samples from the Internet resulted in the attached zipped package.
The zip contains the subdirs:
  data - holds bitmaps used by examples
  include - include files and the d3dmatrix project files

  EmptyProject - 1st step, creating the d3d device
  Rectangle - 2nd step, creating 2 triangles to compose a rectangle
  Textured - 3rd step, creating and applying a bitmap as a texture
  Rotation - 4th step, using matrices for 3D transformations,creating a 3D cube
Added
  Lights - 5th step, adding lights (ambient, diffuse, point) to the scene
  Sprites - creating many sprites using the d3dsprites.lib I created.
  Camera and Sprites - setting up a quaternion based camera and using a sprite as mouse pointer

Every project has a small feature list at the very beginning of the main asm file.
I plan to extend these examples later in 2 directions:
- 2D sprite handling
   - drawing sprites on other sprites (changable renderTarget feature)
   - collision detection
   - timeline based animation
- world of 3D
   - improvement of the d3dmath lib
   - transparent objects
   - importing models
   - creating and moving many 3D objects
   - landscape
   and many more...

Please feel free to look, criticize or use these sources. And also please report bugs, problems or any questions you might get.

2007.10.12: You can get the new version here: members.chello.hu/nemeth.gabor1/directx (http://members.chello.hu/nemeth.gabor1/directx). It won't fit here gue to the 256 kB size limit (it is quite small  I have to add) :(

Compliments Gabor, the demos run well and look fine.

Indeed, congratulations! Nice work. :U

Hi Gabor,

Very nice work :U

Hi!

I updated the projects and uploaded them onto a server: http://members.chello.hu/nemeth.gabor1/directx.
I'm still constructing the site, but the sources are already available.
I also updated the thread starting post so that it shows the last state of my directx experiment-development.

Greets, Gábor

Hello,
Good job,yes,but ...... :dazzled: :(
for lights,rotation crash
sprites do nothing
I haven't search which libraries you load,but,"invoke winmain" isn't the good way to used libcmt.
Libcmt need to recognize the name WinMain,or other one,and it's proper call.Msvcrt works in the same manner for the call.
modify this,it seem needed

Hi ToutEnMasm!

Please help me to identify the reasons for the crashes!
Did you extract all the files, the data directory as well?
These examples need the images stored in that directory. I didn't code a proper error handling, that could cause the crash.
What kind of hardware are you trying to run the examples?
My last question: Did you recompile them or the executables included in the zip are causing the problems?

To others I' like to say, please test the apps and help me to find bugs!

Greets, Gábor

Gabor,

Nothing crashes. I did not re-assemble them.

1. EmptyProject - matches your screen shot.
2. Rectangle - matches your screen shot.
3. Textured - screen is black.
4. Rotation - matches your screen shot.
5. Lights - matches your screen shot.
6. Sprites - screen is black.
7. Camera and Sprite - matches your screen shot.

Pentium D 940, Intel GMA 3000 video, Windows Vista Home Premium.

Tried to run after unpack,no crash but nothing to view,size 10,10,10,10 ? for rotation ?.
I have Read a little,the code.

Bad loop,when using WM_CREATE and others messages,you must return the value needed .
Read winhelp for that.
rc are empty,don't hurt to put a defaut icon in it

hi

i learning and create a directx app and uses Siekmanski d3d includes my problem is with

Hello Ragdog

This is how you can do it:

   invoke   D3DXCreateTextureFromFileExA,g_pD3DDevice,TEXT_("picture.png"),D3DX_DEFAULT,D3DX_DEFAULT,D3DX_DEFAULT,0,D3DFMT_UNKNOWN,D3DPOOL_DEFAULT,D3DX_DEFAULT,D3DX_DEFAULT,0,NULL,NULL,addr g_pTexture1

included an example

Hello ragdog

Microsoft did change the ID3DXFont interface since version 32 ( don't know about next versions ??? )
You can find it in "d3dx9core.inc"

Greetings Siekmanski

I have this includes from you d3d071012.zip

thanks

Hey!

I got terrified  :dazzled: seeing how long I haven't touched this topic. I hope to be able to get back and make some significant steps.
To those who were keen on seeing my newer achievements or simply would like to know about my progress I say wait just a few weeks more!
