    - Just saying Hi Hi there Mordt! Thank you for the direction toward the networking info. (I was saying the networking and coding would be the easy part... it's the visual stuff like shaders, effects, and texturing that I'm worried about.)

    - DXGI.dll How/where to get dll for Windows XP development Thanks Ralf! I understood that Direct3D 10 subsystem only available on Vista. We wanted to maintain an application that would only use DXGI when running on Vista. But, the linker needs dxgi.dll to run the application when running on pre-Vista (WinXP). Even when the DXGI code is not executed. Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cursor disappears over window Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - XML data file becoming corrupt for no apparent reason If I wanted to overwrite a set of data every time I saved, I would use; FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write correct Such as highscores where the values are simply being replaced. If I tried using; FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write to accomplish this, could that be what's causing my problems Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cursor disappears over window Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Strange DX9 vertex glitch I'm running SP2. This is happening on every machine I run it on, but FYI i'm running a nvidia 6800 GT, obviously DX9. I'm using ps_2_0 if that makes any difference. I'll also say that sometimes it happens JUST to one of the textures, then most of my pre-defined vertex data (cubes, planes), then to my models (.x). Any assortment of those three. I love the second pic I posted because I'm doing some heat distortion post processing and it looks like everything is totally out of whack.

    - using 'Resources' hey, thanks for your suggestion. I have the files in the resources menu of C#... which is a good thing but using them in DirectX's audio player seems to be a problem because it only accepts a filename in the form of a string ... so I still don't know how to load it into DX BadButBit Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cursor disappears over window Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Unable to render mesh This is indeed a strange debug behaviour. If the D3DPOINT redefinition is at compile time, you can try to solve this issue using compiler precompile option (/P). >> Why when i begin a shader each time i can see a ignore of redundand state how to avoid it Dx debug detects redundant render state set. To avoid these messages, avoid setting redundant states to the device using your own state cache. Anyway, these messages are only warnings so unless you're using a pure device, concentrate on limiting state changes rather than eliminating them. >> D3DINFO:: MemFini what does it means This is dumped by Dx debug runtime if memory leak detection is selected from debug options. If any Dx memory leaks are the dumped. >> i've tryied so much position with camera but nothing i can't find it Try Pix for windows to see your mesh prior and post vertex shading so you won't have this "finding" problem and you'll be able to understand the issue.

    - XNA GSE Hangs Do you have any custom content processors If you do and they're doing some pretty intesive processing or they're working on a really huge content file, it'll seem to hang for a little while before it continues. Hell, if you put an infinate loop in there (that isn't recursive or doesn't eat up memory), GSE will just hang forever until you manually end process on it.

    - Could C# be the future of gaming? With the ability to use unsafe code in C#, I expect performance to not be an issue in any game other than cutting edge stuff. There will probably always be those that will prefer C++ over anything else, but I can see a move by smaller companies to C#, for the increased speed of development if nothing else.

    - Displaying a Blender x exported model Sometimes it's difficult to think simple... Never thought of the fact the model could be a lot smaller in units.

    - No text input in WinForm controls You are correct the game form consumes all keystrokes - I tried something similar to get typed character input but it didn't work. I have also used a similar technique to create new forms. I didn't have any text input on those forms but you might well find that you can get text input on those forms. It's not as neat as embedding the controls but you can link the forms together so that if the game window is minimized the other forms are also minimized. I've used this to do simple editor like functionality. Cheers, Leaf. Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cursor disappears over window Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Infinite projection matrix I need it for a Z-Fail shadow volume implementation. Right now my volume is getting clipped by the farplane. Setting the far plane a huge distance away wouldn't solve the problem when the extruded vertices are pushed back to infinity. Mark Kilgard presented a very elegant solution to this, but I'm having problem getting it to work in XNA. Any help would be appreciated.

    - IDE problem the tutorial i watcehd from learnxna.com showed the designer though. they were not dragging anything from the toolbox onto the form, but nonetheless, you could see a form, and then they were setting properties in the properties window such as form layout.

    - Xbox Live Arcade Title looking for Engine/Coder.. Thanks a lot, DanM. =) I'm definitely looking forward to the beta release of XNA Magic sometime in February. And Alex's blog has definitely had some great insights and information I've loved reading. I haven't had a chance to go over much of the components available at CodePlex yet, but it looks like there might be some good info there. They sure do have a lot of 2D stuff. I'm hoping some more 3D engines might become available soon. (Wishful thinking, I know. From experience I know how difficult a solid engine can be to create, but a man can wish! Heheh.) Thanks again!

    - Warm Up Contest Is Up Yeah, two weeks to write something based on Spacewar. I've hardly looked at the Spacewar starter kit - too busy developing something completely different. Do I abandon that for the moment and concentrate on the starter kit From the various posts on these forums, a lot of people have been playing with the starter kit and are probably way ahead of me there.

    - newbie problem with CreateOrthographicOffCenter I dont think I am quite understanding this, I created the following test to try and get a quad to render in screen space Quad quad = new Quad ( new Vector3 (0, 0, 0), new Vector3 (0, 10, 0), new Vector3 (10, 10, 0), new Vector3 (10, 0, 0)); Matrix matView = Matrix .CreateLookAt( new Vector3 (0, 0, 1), Vector3 .Zero, Vector3 .Up); Matrix matProj = Matrix .CreateOrthographicOffCenter(0, ScreenWidth, 0, ScreenHeight, 0.0f, 1.0f); The quad renders in the bottom left corner of the screen, I want it to render in the top left of the screen, I though maybe flipping the Up Vector so its 0,-1,0 would solve the problem and allow me to draw shapes with the origin being the top left of the screen however no matter what I try I cant get it to work. I think the problem is due to my understanding of CreateOrthographicOffCenter, can somebody explain in newbie terms how I can go about acheiving this.

    - LoadGraphicsContent - Is it right to load ALL graphics content at the start Yup I agree with Bill, I usually have different component and classes for such things. Alternatively you could have 2 content managers, one for main stuff and one for levels, then have a switch case when loading the level, clear out the content manager with an Clear call and then load the specifics for the level. A possibility. Darkside Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Cursor disappears over window Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Is it realistic to create one's own engine? Learning how to code your own 3D engine is never a bad thing IMO. The result doesn't have to be capable of challenging UE3. TorqueX might be a pretty good thing to work with (since I didn't get in on the beta I haven't seen it so can't say much more ) so you can take a look at it when it's released. I know I plan to.

Tried to re-install october SDK and its viewer works just fine.

    - Render target save'n'restore On the Xbox, there is only a single render target. "Render to texture" is done by rendering to this target, then using an ultra-fast memory copy into the texture area. Thus, if you really need to save the screen render target, you have to do something like: 1) copy current screen to texture 2) render your stuff 3) render texture back to screen, using full-screen quad Remember that Z/Stencil matters as well as color, and may require additional work to save/restore.

Hi All,

When I move my cursor over a the main window of a Windows Game it disappears.

I have access to the Title bar and the cursor shows there. As soon as I move over the main window it's gone. This happens for the Space Wars starter kit and a basic Window Game.

Any idea how to solve

Thanks,

Paul

Set the IsMouseVisible property of the Game class instance to true.

Have a look at this blog post, I go though the basic first steps and this includes turning the mouse on.

Thanks. Now I see SpaceWar is set up for an xbox. How do

you change to use windows control from a keyboard

Thanks again,

Strange it's set up to use the xbox because I'm using the windows version

of Space Wars. There is also an XBox version.
