• Audio and Video Development A major Bug in Sonic Premastering...IMPORTANT READ

  Just got a grasp on what is happening when I premaster... In Standard Content I take my advanced content and hvdvd_ts folders and burn them but I just realized it is making my hvdvd_ts subdirectories dissapear! I have hvdvd_ts\background\pevob01.map and when I burn through Standard content all that shows up on my disc is the root of the hvdvd_ts folder. So any subdirectories in hvdvd_ts are gone! Major issue. It should burn my project as it is and not be removing folders! Have a look at figure 3.3.2-1 in the spec. Sub-directories are not allowed in HVDVD_TS. This applies to category 2 discs (adv. content) too... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions difficult - Keyboard hook

  Hi, I need to do the following: A barcode scanner is connected to the PS/2 input using a split cable (so, both the keyboard and the barcode scanner are connected to the same PS/2 port). The barcode scanner uses "keyboard simulation" to send it's code to the currently active application. If you open a texteditor and you scan a barcode, the number is send to the page. You can add a "prefix" to the barcodescanner of maximum 10 keycodes or characters (like A, #, NULL, SOH STX ETX EOT ENQ ACK BEL etc...) I want to use the barodescanner on the background, so I was planning to use a system wide keyboard hook which detects if there was a NULL-NULL send to the PS/2 input, and in this case takes the 13 following charact ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. In the final release of XNA i would like to see this!!!

  There are many different types of games. I would like to see when you select the new product tab and then select game tab. to have a genre tool come up where you can select Action, RPG, Stragety, so on. So the tab would help guide you towards a specific game genre instead of one huge slate to work with. I know its alot of work, but this would be a huge bonus to people who are just starting programing. hell it would help crush cost and time! please add this inthe future Starter kits are a feature of Visual Studio, not just XNA GS. See the Visual Studio docs for how to create starter kits . Yes, they are basically vs templates. Cheers, Leaf. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Using a rule to show code metrics

  Hi, I'm trying to use a custom rule to calculate and then output certain basic code metrics. For example, count the number of interfaces, classes, how many abstract classes etc.. I have worked out how to gather all the metrics I'm after, what I can't fathom is how to generate a single lne output at the end of analysis. I tried adding my 'fake' problem within an override of AfterAnalysis but this doesn't work - it is not displayed as output. I realise in this case I am not really using the tool as intended - but is there a way of wrapping up the results of several Check()s in to a single 'problem' David, Many thanks, your suggestion has solved my 'newbie' question. best regards, Tim ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What is the best software for game dev with XNA?

  As the title states, what software will be good to have. I am going to download Visual C# Studio Express, but what else is good for stuff like graphics or sound. I have a limited budget so I am looking for something in the free to $100 price range, if possible. Thanks for any help you can give me. For creating graphics there's plenty of apps - Paint Shop Pro is cheap for 2D stuff, Blender and Milkshape for 3D. You can try Googling "free sound tools" for that area. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with visual inheritance from form within the project. (COM Error something I don't understand)

  Hi, Normally I use visual inheritance ( inherit from baseForm in my project). Today I've got a new error message "Unable to load assembly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (which is the assembly of this project itself). Ensure that the file is a valid .NET framework assembly" However, I can compile and run my application (so is it a valid assembly isn't it ) Also, sometimes instead of saying unable to load, it says "COM Error blah blah something" Could you please tell me how to fix it VS.NET is a good IDE but sometimes it generates too many annoying errors. Thanks, Yes, this is a pertinent issue with the IDE. I think for VS2003, this just something that we have to live with as Microsoft is no longer putt ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Help converting MDX1.1 Sample to XNA

  I'm trying to convert some of the samples in Tom Miller's book (Managed DirectX 9 - Graphics and Game PRogramming - Kick Start) to XNA.

• Visual C++ VC++ 6 and SDKs... I'm so confused....

  Hi to all... I'm working on my old project in VC++ 6 and I have define WINVER 0x500. During compiling process, in debug window, i have this message: NOTE: WINVER has been defined as 0x0500 or greater which enables Windows NT 5.0 and Windows 98 features. When these headers were released, Windows NT 5.0 beta 1 and Windows 98 beta 2.1 were the current versions. For this release when WINVER is defined as 0x0500 or greater, you can only build beta or test applications. To build a retail application, set WINVER to 0x0400 or visit http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk to see if retail Windows NT 5.0 or Windows 98 headers are available. See the SDK release notes for more information. So, i visited Microsoft sdk site and it tell ...Show All
