Paul Reith How to make a trainer.
Does anybody on this forum know how to make a video game trainer in c++ (using visual c++ express) I would like to know how to do this. I know it is not impossible.

Xavy "Programming RolePlaying Games with DirectX" help
Has anyone else read this book I am a current student at the Art Institute and recently purchased this book. The code they have is based on DirectX9.0b, so it requires a lot of changes from IDirect to ID3X...and I just started learning DirectX with this book.

Anyone know any good resources to learn DirectX9 and/or tutorials on creating an ideal DirectX wrapp ...Show All

It works fine on my development machine, but on the target machine it fails with A first chance exception of type "microsoft.directx.diretct3d.invalidcallexception" occured.

George A. roberson Absolute Newbie - How do I know if I'm using Managed Directx?
Ok I realise this may be a completely stupid question, but I'm very new to programing so bear with me. Basically I just want to know how I can tell which type of directX I'm using.. managed or unmanaged. I'm learning programing with the express edition of C#, using the latest (non beta) directX SDK, and a variety of tutorials I found via the Z-buffer site. If I'm making all my directX function calls from C# (which I assume is a managed .NET ...Show All

anand_CE ID3DXFileSaveObject::Save() crashes
What could cause ID3DXFileSaveObject::Save() to crash I have an exporter that works fine; it exports a variety of geometry. However, if I register the XEXTENSIONS_TEMPLATES templates, and add data of type DeclData to the file, I get no error when adding the data, but the call to Save() crashes. The DeclData contains a single declaration, for a float2 coordinate stream at texture coordinate index 1. Just removing the call to add the data remov ...Show All

justin kelleher Generic GraphicsBuffer overload for Effect class?
The Effect class has many overloads but there was none for a generic GraphicsBuffer... effect.SetValue(EffectHandle paramater, GraphicsBuffer data) could also add: effect.SetValue(EffectHandle paramater, GraphicsBuffer<T> data) I'm phasing out all my non-generic lists in my game but got stumped on this one. You may notice that the generic GraphicsBuffer derives from the non-generic version.. Theref ...Show All
Blicos Is DirectX good enough for creating modeling tools?
this may seem a silly question. yet all the modeling tools i see on the commercial market and free tools use opengl. is this choice due to opengl having the ability to be used on no windows OS or is directx not upto the task well i wasn't aware of 3dsmax having a choice. :) i was curious because i wondered about creating my own tools and would prefer to stick with directx. yet was a bit worried by the choice f ...Show All

gftdnhkask Using DX9 SDK, need DX8 device with D3DX
To simplify the port of some code from an Xbox project to windows, I would like to be able to continue to use the DX8 interface. I can still call Direct3DCreate8(), but all of the D3DX support seems to have disappeared (as of April 2006 SDK, anyway) because I don’t see a d3dx8.h header any more, etc.. I tried (skeptically) including d3d8.h and then including d3dx9.h, but that obviously doesn’t work. Am I resigned to porting the project t ...Show All
