• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. UI elements - common approaches?

  Morning/Evening all (delete as appropriate :), Got a general question for you. I'm looking to start experimenting with UI elements - the standard stuff really - HUDs, health bars, score, mini-maps. What I really would like to know is, what are the general techniques that are commonly used to achieve these elements Polygons with textures applied and drawn to screen space I keep reading about 'textured quads' - does that simply refer to textured polygons drawn on the projection plane (i.e. 'on' the screen) This does seem like it should be the basis of most common UI elements - menus, HUDs, buttons, etc. What other techniques are common Thanks guys/gals.

• Visual Studio Team System More Warehouse problems

  After a TFS rebuild I am no longer able to process the OLAP cube.  Initially TFS (and SQL) was built on a server with Australian regional settings.  However the rebuild was done on a server that had default US regional settings.  I have since changed the default collation for the database server back to the Australian collation (to fix errors in comparing and merging files).  The warehouse is still not working though.  It seems like its something to do with date formats, although I am not 100% sure.  Aus date format is the same as British (ie DD/MM/YYYY), eg today is 06/04/2006.  The value of TfsWarehouse.Today.Date was "4/6/2006", we tried changing it to "6/4/2006" but it still returned the sam ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS Diff between VSS Project and Local folder

  I know this is silly but for some reason, I am not able to get a diff between a vss project and the same project on a network server. I am executing the following commandsI I mapped the drive K to the location of the ss.exe. then I set the current local project as set cp = \\pwperforce32\ss\common\loadram Then, I ran the following command k>ss diff $/common/loadram -r >c:\temp\ssoutput.txt The result I get consist of a diff between the folder "loadram" in vss and the folder win32 where the ss.exe resides. I am not able to get the diff between the folder on the network versus the VSS Project. Thanks in advance for the Guru. I'm not sure how simply executing an application from a different drive ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Defining vertices as screen coordinates.

  Is there a way to define a vertex to use screen coordinates I know there is a way in DirectX to do this [source] // This one const DWORD D3DFVF_TLVERTEX = D3DFVF_XYZRHW | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_TEX1; [/source] But looking through the documentation, I can't seem to see a way to do this in XNA. Basically what I want to do is to be able to draw sprites but use shaders also. Yes, I have seen SpriteCache at http://www.codeplex.com/SpriteCache/ but it doesn't actually emulate SpriteBatch exactly like it should so I was wanting to create my own. Any help appreciated... thanks! Edit:  Well the "// This one" is not lining up as I thought, I was refering to the D3DFVF_XYZRHW. I read through the l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System ICommonStructureService CreateProject

  Hi, I want to create a Team Project using the TFS Object Model I see there is a Create Project method in ICommonStructureService. I can't find examples or documentation for it in the web. Does anyone know what does it expect here --> XmlElement Structure Is it an XmlElement with de SCC URL Does any one have an example Tanks!! Alan D. Scheinkman My problem is that in the bank (the client) they want certain actions to be responsibility from business roles, not technical people, that's the main reason for the project. That’s why I prefer to fight with the complexity, because if not, there wouldn't be a project :p I think that if team explorer and others plug-ins can do ...Show All
