I like the way you think. :) Acually, I really only program for fun, and I try to keep my stuff more "retro". I do add features that DX8 allows (and my computer allows) to my engines, but I really dont like to go into "Super Mega Advanced 3D Game of DOOM!" genre, more like a 2d with some realtime effects.
But I dont know what would make it so alphablending wont work or anything, since I program with DX8 and it works fine. |

your countries are exporting computers (and everything  ),,, so its cheaper than our computers (or computer parts) that's for sure & you are game programmers that means a new feature every 2 year (like Pixel Shader ) ,,, how can you fallow that ? I mean if you programming engines (3D Engines you will have a lot of problems I think) ,,,
have a nice day |

"Color : D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8"
Maybe the problem is the graphics card doesn't support 32-bit resolution? I know mine doesn't... *sniff*. |

hmmmmm ,,, maybe from the video card ,,,
will this the default setting on the engine :
Color : D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8
D3DDEVTYPE : D3DDEVTYPE_HAL
SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING
EnableAutoDepthStencil = 1
AutoDepthStencilFormat = D3DFMT_D16
there are other setting on D3DDevice but I am not sure where is the error comes from ?! in the future I will include a debugging tool with the engine |

I have Directx 9b installed, so its not a DirectX version problem. I do have an old video card, so that's probably the cause because you may be using something that my card doesn't support. I tried to change the Engine.Engine_Init to something that would be compatible with my video card, but that didn't work either. |

.com or .net (we still be the same person :) )
at least something is working
hmmmmm ,, it might be the texture ,,, try changing the texture
did you tried the Ex12 (for Particle System ) ! & it contains alot of Pre-created particles systems (ie .par files) like snow , rain , waterfall , tv , DNA , electric balss , protecter ..etc (i've done these systems while I was playing with PSC program ) ... if it works (Ex12) then the problem from the program and not the engine
Is it the only problem you have faced it ?

Okay, I installed it, but when I tried to run the particle viewer, the graphics never showed up, just colored blocks. Tried all the renderstates too... |

Big Hi to everyone
It might be :
1- its Based on DX8.1 and not DX8.0
2- the sitting ( try to change the current setting ) ; i didn't write any code for finding the card Capabilities (Enumeration) becouse I am not good with hardware stuff |

I couldn't get the engine to work. I installed noor03.exe, and then tried a few of your example programs. I get the error "Object variable or With block variable not set" on the line "Engine.Engine_Init Form1, 1024, 768." The screen resolution gets changed, so the problem must be after that section of your code. |
