Mirage Source

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.

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.

_________________

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.

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

I edited and optimised the code to run faster, and cut down on texture corruption, but it's a decent base, overall.

Download:


Once it adds DirectMusic and DirectSound3D it'll be good.

Here's what I did with it in a blank MS4:
