Brace yourself... whatever you did - IT WORKED!!!. I got the up to about 140 sprites before dropping below 60 FPS. Whatever you did worked *almost* perfectly.
I noticed when I exited the program, the same old error was still there, though the program ran fine... Kudos for finally "mostly" fixing it though...

Hold on a few minutes.......... let me read the above post again........ ok then again......... ok one more time......... unbelievable, I keep thinking there is a catch... I can't simply believe it... this is all I changed........
This Line:
Public Const FVF_VertexType = D3DFVF_XYZRHW Or D3DFVF_TEX2 Or D3DFVF_DIFFUSE Or D3DFVF_SPECULAR
to this:
Public Const FVF_VertexType = D3DFVF_XYZRHW Or D3DFVF_TEX1 Or D3DFVF_DIFFUSE Or D3DFVF_SPECULAR
I never even thought of that, but for some reason this engine, wants it that way..... this is fantastic, let me update the .dll and give you a few examples to run, to see if we really nipped this in the bud...

Ok, got a correction... The error only occurs when I X-out (by hitting the little "x" button in the upper right, for you Windows challenged folks), but not when I hit escape. I assume that means the error was (I love the past tense) a device lost error...
I also ran dbmon (I forgot to in all the previous excitement), and there were absolutely no errors, just the general info it always has... |

| Also, another interesting fact... When in DX debug mode, I got about 200 - 210 FPS with only one sprite. While in retail I got 235 - 240 FPS. Tht is a considerable improvement, and I just wanted to throw it out there... |

The automation error is because I didn't terminate the engine, with the terminate in the form, I only do that when you hit escape... that is normal, what is happening is your catching it right in the middle of the render routine.... I will remember to put that check in the forms from now on...at least the ones that run in a window..
Here is the new .dll and about 3 tutorials examples, reinstall the .dll and see if they run... hopefully it wasn't a combination of things, but I do not believe it is... it is that one silly little thing.... can you believe it........but hey we are warriors now!! whoo hoo...

The debug vs. retail, kind of makes sense to me, because its like the debug.print command in your program, that slows it down like mad... when its in debug mode, its outputing all the info to the dbmon... but I will be sure to try to make sure mine is not in debug mode..... somehow...lol

I think it is official, the "great debug" of '04 has come to a close... All the examples ran fine, and life is back to normal... Wow, I would just like to point out that I have 28 new subfolders on my computer, one for each attemt to solve the error!!  |

yes!! yes!!! yes!!! this is a better feeling than, nevermind my wife is watching......
It is done.... It is done...... To think a hour and a half ago I was about to toss this thing...lol
Man I want to extend a thanks to all your help, and all the sub folders you created... thanks...
But it does not explain one thing, and I am not going to ponder on it after this post... why in the world did the v1.0 engine, except tex2, but this one will not........ go figure..... strange...
DaBooda out........for good............um............on this problem anyways... knock on wood...
P.S. If a moderator, feels the need please delete this to free up half the server... and thank you for allowing us to do this... |

Wow, I can't believe you finally managed to solve that! I'm really impressed...
And Sr. Guapo, what is your video card again? Am I sure in understanding it doesn't support more than 1 texture stage? |
Whatever. Who knows... |

It is a Radeon 9200 SE... I wouldn't know about texture stages (I've never used them), but I could have sworn it did. It is a fairly recent card... compared to my voodoo3...
I think it might not be the multiple texture stages that caused it, but something else dealing with them. If you read masterbooda's comment before about how v1.0 used the FVF description, but I ran that example fine... |
