• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Maya objects with scale *=-1 import with front face culling

  Hello, Total beginner question No. 2: I've built a robot in Maya, using the scale attribute in the Attributes Editor to flip the legs, arms etc to mirror the half of the robot I'm modeling. Seems to work fine in Maya, but any objects that are exported with FBX for use in Game Studio Express load in with what looks like reverse back face culling - front face culling if you will! Has anyone got any tips to get around this... feature Thanks in advance, pseudo It's not my artwork. I found the sprites released under the public domain on some website (I have the credits somewhere). I'm only using them as placeholders now. They may become permanent, but for now I plan to replace them. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Incomplete VS2005? (missing emulator and sql mobile)

  I recently installed Visual Studio 2005 on both my desktop and laptop and have had issues with accessing various capabilities in the mobile device development side.  The most obvious of which is that the device emulator appears to be missing from my installation.  The deviceemulator.exe could not be found in the program files.  All the emulator images appeared in the debug drop-down, but I was only able to get the emulator working when I installed the stand alone version and accessed it separately from Visual Studio 2005.  In addition, I do not have a device emulator manager option in the tools menu. In addition to my problems with the device emulator I also had to download and install the .N ...Show All

• SQL Server Data Mining Add-Ins doesn't work with non-English regional settings

  I tried Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007 - CTP December 2006. Test settings: Windows XP SP2 english with Italian regional settings, Office 2007 english (RTM), SQL Server 2005 Developer (with SP2 CTP Dec06) and Data Mining Add-ins for Office 2007 (CTP Dec06). If I keep regional settings in Italian, I get error like this: Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD)) If I change regional settings to English, the Add-in works. I found this description as the possible cause of the problem: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178780(vs.80).aspx - if this is the issue, it would be necessary to change the ExcelLocale1033Attribute on the component.

• SQL Server Configure a Child Package to use the configuration file of a Parent Package?

  Hi guys, Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself. However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx. When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established. How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01 Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and m ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE 7 display blank page on refresh when viewing session enabled PHP pages served from IIS 6!!

  Pages using PHP sessions and external javascript in the head portion of the html document and which served from IIS 6 to IE 7 are not refreshing properly (displays blank on refresh). I have a full description of it here including the minimal source to create the error. Description, source and work arounds that may shed light on the problem: http://durge.roswellpark.org/ie7Bugs/ I think it has to do with the fact that IIS does not report content-length header on pages served as PHP. If I manually create my own content-length header it works. This problem did not happen in IE 6 and will affect all php sites served from IIS 6 to IE 7 that use sessions. Here is an example < php session_start(); ><html> <head> <script type ...Show All
