Football and llamas?!...I'm sure I would've remembered.

Go on then...list 'em

LegoGirl

Excellent!!
That reminds me of rainy lunchtimes at school...oh so many years ago.

Assumig im using the right version of the arcade at the mo (ArcadeSource3Feb04) its changed a few times but this was the last version i could find on the forums You're correct, that is the latest version. only a little 0 but makes all the difference That little zero used to be the layer that the sp...

That's all working now, ta.

This is how to center stuff. Just use this function instead of Mit's. You could even turn it into a macro. void InterfaceTexturedRectCentred( int nOverlay, int nX, int nY, int nWidth, int nHeight, int nColour, float fU1, float fV1, float fU2, float fV2 ) { if( nX == -1 && nY == -1 ) { nX = (...

a long time ago Mit wrote:Yeh, -1, -1 is used to denote an image that should be centered on the screen. Did i not mention that in the docs? ;]

and then Mit wrote:ok, got rid of the -1 stuff now :].

Erm..It seems to be back in

Did ya think you could sneek that back in without me noticing...eh?

LegoGirl

Colour stuff? ARGB 32 bit values, they should be modulated with any textures you're using. Unless it doesnt work, of course.. Ooooooooo...Excellent! That's better then I could've hoped for. :D I'll just make all my GFX white and select the colours at runtime. :twisted: Lego's thing is a better arca...

LegoGirl

this wouldent happen too be a remake of Whoomph would it ??? Sorry, no it isn't. If Mit wants a version of Woomph it could be done. k, done.. i think it jus needed the standalone arcade.exe updating coz it was drawing the arcade machine backdrop over the top. Cant test your prog properly coz the dl...

Do you mean the standard libs...

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

...the Windows SDK...

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>

...or the DirectX SDK...

Code: Select all

#include <d3dx8.h>

..?

Well, the link error's gone

But it doesn't display anything and gives a texture load error when I press the function key for my game (F3)

LegoGirl

I'm getting linker errors with InterfaceTexturedRect

LegoGirl

(3) would be ideal (and is the closest to what it was using) but I can see how it could be a pig to do. (1) is definitely bearable, so I'd do that. I just need to be able to have a texture associated with more then one overlay. p.s. Had a quick look at your stuff.. Is very very very nice ta. The sho...

LegoGirl

Well, I can work around it. I thought negative coordinates were OK tho.

Personally I'd remove it (unless it's there because the game uses it), people can center their own stuff.

LegoGirl

While you're looking at it could you check to see if you're doing something "special" when nX and nY are both -1.

Code: Select all

InterfaceTexturedRect(
    0, gnCharSetOverlay,
    -1, -1, // <-- This right 'ere
    8, 8,
    0xFFFFFFFF,
    fU1, fV1, fU2, fV2 );

LegoGirl

Ah, that explains stuff. I'll just pretend they work for now. Right now I'm only using TexturedRects so when you get a sec that's the one to do (for me anyway

). 3 layers should make it look ok.

LegoGirl

Ah..yes that's fixed it...ta
Does the "layer" parameter really work? I can't seem to move things forward.

LegoGirl

Um. There might be a bug in there. After playing for a little while the arcade machine screen is going blank..tho once I had a line still visible but all of the sprites and rects had gone. It seems to be getting into an infinite loop somewhere in interface.

Keeping the actual money in the machine seperate would be a good idea. Giving the dev the option to...

Code: Select all

int  GetMoneyAmount(void);
void PayOutMoneyAmount(int);

Just to stop any game from creating new money. The PayOut funtion would never give the player more money then there was in the machine.
