• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I have to write an article about XNA Game Studio : user point of view needed

  Hello everyone, I have to write a dossier for a french videogame monthly magazine, where I should present the "product" to the readers, most of whom are teen gamers. It's no tech article, but a "perspective" one, about what is and may become XNA. If it can spark something inside a few of our readers, and have them try game development, that will be nice. Therefore, I'd like to have an idea about XNA reception on the users' side . I have a serie of generic questions. I'd be really happy that some of you cared to answer. Basic questions : - Why choose XNA over DX C++ dev - Why or how is XNA more suited to indie/homemade developements - Is there a reason why one would choose not too dev How would you describe XNA framework, refering to - th ...Show All

• Smart Device Development timeGetTime() on WM5

  Met some link errors of timeGetTime() on WM5. I can not find the winmm.lib on WM5 SDK, which lib should I link with I tried to build a directshow filter on WM5, which has the "strmbase.lib" avaiable. But there are some link errors related to "CTransformFilter". I guess this is because the lib does not include all the classes defined in the baseclasses sample codes. Then I tried to recompile the baseclasses. This link error occured when I tried to build my filter linked with the "strmbase.lib", which is compiled by me previously. ================ ERROR MSG ================ lib(amfilter.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol IID_IPinFlowControl referenced in function "public: virtual long ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Scripted Users

  Is the idea that when the final product comes out that the script of the user will have all the permissions the user has to objects in the database I have not seemed to get it to script those permissions yet. I just tried with CTP6. Our existing VSS integration we do separation the user permissions from the objects themselves and want to make sure this will continue to work for us. Hi Andy, Just to understand where are you seeing the missing permissions, is it the import database or deployment or schema compare you are doing while observing this issue. We have made some changes to the system to pull some database level permissions which it was missing before while doing schema comapre. We woul ...Show All

• Visual C# Create program to run before windows startup -- Floppy Disk?

  Can I create a program to run before windows starts up, like when you insert a floppy disk before startup, you can, say, erase your harddrive Thanks, Not in C# as it requires the .NET Framework which requires Windows. In theory you could strip down a CLR such as Mono or Rotor... however making it that small might take a fair bit of work. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DepthStencil array

  What is the use and the conditions of use of a DepthStencil array ( SetDepthStencilArray ) Could someone also give an example of application Thanks. Could you more specific, please This don't tell me: What is the practical use of a DepthStencil array How to use it in an HLSL code How to use it in an effect code The only clue that I've found is the D3D10_DSV_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2DMSARRAY type for a DepthStencil view which seems to indicate that DepthStencil arrays are only used with multisampling (I suppose, one per sample). In that case, is there a benefice of using an array rather than a single DepthStencil I suppose the idea could be to allow some specific post-processing using variations per sample in ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Normal/bump maps in XNA?

  Hi I'm a 3D-artist and I'm checking out XNA. I managed to import a model made in maya and apply a texture but now I wonder if there is support for normal maps in xna. I know all about normal maps and how they work and how to create them, so I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction on how to import and apply them to models in xna. I did search for normal/bump-maps here but the only thing I got was explanations on how they work, not how to use them in xna. Thanks, Lingonsylt Is there some tutorails about how to create a FX file and how to put it on the mesh please let me know,thank you very much. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Mouse coordinates in CellMouseClick event

  Hi I want to display different ContextMenuStrips depending in which cell the user right-clicks. Since I'm using an unbound dgv I can't use the ContextMenuStripNeeded event (is this correct ) so I'm trying to just simple show the ContextMenuStrip programatically. My problem is that the DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs only return the location of the mouse with the current cell not within the dgv itself. Is there any way of getting the mouse position within the dgv when using the CellMouseClick event Cheers, Pedro Hi, You can simply set the contextstripmenu to the specific cells. e.g. this .dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].ContextMenuStrip = this .contextMenuStrip1; Change the index accordingl ...Show All
