DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.3 - GIAKEN - 03-05-2009
Yep, I did it again! Here is my very own DirectX 8 Class with a demonstration! The project should be like a book
ENJOY!1.1: Added a full screen option
In the future I will make the text easier to handle...1.2: Changed how textures are handled during runtime...it's A LOT better. You used to set the texture before each draw, but I changed it so you only had to set it once at the beginning...and it only sets the texture if it's not already set to that...so if you only use 1 texture, it only gets set once during the whole run time of your program
Also did support of different width and height surfaces...1.3: Added MP3 support
Changed how the class initializes. Make sure you add "ActiveMovie control type library" in your Project references for DirectShow. Fixed a texture error, switched around 2 paramaters in TextureControl...and uhh...not sure what else.http://mayhem.auburnflame.com/DX8Engine4.rar

Great work once again, Harold.
I'm not going to use it but it should be very useful to people who want to use DX8 easily.
Re: DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.0 - GIAKEN - 03-05-2009
Version 1.1 should be coming out soon
It will include more options /fixes and Tony is helping me with enumerating devices and what-not to get full screen to work perfectly (I don't know about enumerating too much 
).Any help / ideas / suggestions / whatever would be appreciated
If this gets popular enough I will create a small RPG-like demonstration for it possibly...or maybe convert MS4 over or something.
Re: DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.1 - GIAKEN - 05-05-2009
Just updated to the newest version
Just did a full screen option that will adjust to your game screen's size. IE make sure you make your game screen 800x600, 1024x768 or whatever monitors can handle or else you'll get an automation error...I also added a .Fullscreen flag in the class so if you need to check if you're in full screen you can use that
Re: DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.2 - GIAKEN - 05-05-2009
Just now updated again
Much better.

Your going back to that idiot who never made sense. All your posts seem like some shitty ass spam.
Re: DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.2 - GIAKEN - 06-05-2009
Yeah...
Well no downloads yet?
I'm going to add music / sound soon (MIDI, WAV, and MP3 support ).
Re: DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.2 - Doomy - 06-05-2009
it was my keyboard i couldn't correct it because all the letters were mixed up. its fixed now though.
i had said what did you update it with.
since in the last post you didn't say what was updated
Re: DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.2 - GIAKEN - 06-05-2009
Because the first post tells each version and what's updated.
Re: DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.2 - Robin - 30-05-2009
I edited and optimised the code to run faster, and cut down on texture corruption, but it's a decent base, overall.

Once it adds DirectMusic and DirectSound3D it'll be good.
Here's what I did with it in a blank MS4:

Re: DirectX8 Class Demonstration :) ver1.3 - Blodyavenger - 15-06-2009
Yep, I did that by myself and I like it
Although, it's quite simple to do that
