Re: DirectX9 SDK

[zemtex]

You can visit http://vertexland.narod.ru/index_.htm and download  MASM32 DX9c SDK  updated for August 2005 DX SDK release. Here you can find a lot of examples as well.  Website in russian only but  it easer than chinese, IMO (my native is russian by the way).

Everything is in french. I am lucky to even pass the installer. I don't understand anything of what it says. Isnt there an english version of it? There is even a dx9-masm help file written there, it looks really good. The only problem is that its in french.

Any ways to overcome this problem?

I already have the newest dx sdk.

I am making my own include files. I hate libraries, especially russian ones. So I made a list of methods from the most common objects, made a macro for calling them and i made only the very basic equations and type definitions.

It works good, my basic dx program works from it. I did a mistake with the method lists the first time and called the wrong methods, but i have now corrected the method list. It's not really neccesary with huge dx libraries, you can perfectly just fill in the missing parts as you need them. It's a bit of work from time to time, but its ok with me.

It may be that I will try to implement this in a dll wrapper and write a help file for using the wrapper dll program. Time will tell if I will do that.

This is dx9 btw. Dx11 has shrunk by over 3 times. Its amazing how small the newest d3d11.dll is compared to d3d9.dll.

d3d9.dll = 1,826,816 bytes
d3d10.dll = 1,030,144 bytes
d3d11.dll = 522,752 bytes

d3d11.dll is only 28% of the size of d3d9.dll
