- Identiying which object types collide If any two objects that collide will create a completely different behavior than any other pair of objects, then your probably best just going with a look up table. However, if there is some overlap (all living entities die when they hit a speed trap, all non living entities speed up when they hit a speed trap, all living entities take damage from a collision with a ball etc.) then I would recomend creating some interfaces like TakeDamage or SpeedUp that your classes can inherit from. Then when two objects collide you pass them to each others collide routines, and then they each decide how they effect the other based on which interfaces the other inherits. I would use interfaces rather than base classes as then you can have rules for living things and rules for red things, and not have to worry about the difference between living reds and non-living reds. Did that make sense, or should I provide more examples -Kalev Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Voiding xBox 360 warrenty Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

- Anyone else find projects from BETA are 'incompatable or corrupt' in RELEASE 1? I dont' see this mentioned in the FAQs - or in any other post so here goes. I have a project I started working on in the beta - but the solution won't open in the new XNA studio - it complains of 'incompatable or corrupt'. Is there a change log to tell me what what's changed exactly from the beta to 1.0 (gone ins the component name space , the graphics.device seems different etc..) Or better yet is there a utility anyone has to convert Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Voiding xBox 360 warrenty Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

- Veteran looking for professional-level 360 dev solution Hi -- I'm a veteran, independent developer w/ 25+ yrs experience on mostly non-MS platforms. I'm looking for a professional-level solution (non-XNA) for developing for the XBOX 360. I already have VS2005 (non-express) and am proficient in C#, .NET, et al, but there's nothing in the docs I can find about 360 dev (complete access to the XBOX Live libs, burning DVDs for testing, etc). I've looked all over the MS site and can't find any docs on 360 development that aren't XNA related, which is very frustrating. Is MS hiding this info on purpose, or have I just not stumbled onto the right URL Can someone who is a professional XBOX developer please tell me what's required, or who I need to talk to (I suspect there's a licensing agreement involved), etc Thanks in advance!

- Using multiple passes in same technique Correct, that's why i tried something like: if (e.CurrentTechnique.Name.Equals( "Effect1" ) && pass.Name.Equals( "Pass_1" )) To separate functionality to different passes (to no avail though ;)). The reason for my question is that i'm trying to streamline the output from RenderMonkey to XNA. That went pretty good until i encountered that i n RenderMonkey you can select different models to passes and so assumed that this also could be done with XNA. Thanks for the tip, i will not pursue this any further. Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Voiding xBox 360 warrenty Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

- Question about 'EffectParameter' class Even if EffectParameter was unsealed, how would you construct your own instances of your custom type The only way you can get an EffectParameter today is by looking up the ones that are created for you when you load an effect - there'd still be no way to hook into that to make it create some other type of your own. I'm guessing you are looking up the EffectParameter instances created for you by the effect, then wrapping these with some other type of your own to use in your engine If so, why do you need the framework type unsealed I'd think your wrapper could just be a separate type that implements whatever functionality you want...

- Rendering models and primitives You should be fine using indexed drawing, TriangleList primitives and 0 for the minimum vertex index until/unless Microsoft change the Model types. Just assuming that those factors will work is a little ugly and is one reason why some people create their own types to represent models/meshes/etc. instead of using the Model types. Cheers, Leaf.

- 3DS Max export You shouldn't really need to do any rotation. Just model your graphics with their top facing in the direction Max thinks is up (which happens to be Z), then when you render them in XNA, use the direction XNA thinks is up (Y) and they will come out the right way up. It won't be the same axis, but as long as the top of the object still faces upwards, surely that's what you want Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Voiding xBox 360 warrenty Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

- Video/Animation Playback Thanks very much for your reply. I think you've pretty much covered exactly how to do it. I'll have to check out exactly how to use SetData (do I use it on the Texture directly or on it's surface ) An example would be great, but you've been very helpful so far. At the moment I'm loading from JPEG images in a screen, which is good for compression (same size as an MPEG), but not good enough for loading speed. I'll update here on my progress - and oh, would anyone (including you) perhaps be interested in this Video (i.e. Animation) component for XNA when it's complete Who knows, I may even add sound later if people are interested.

- TitleLocation writeable on the 360? Yeah, my bet is it's a space limit in the 360 CF (essentially a quota mechanism), but I'm hoping I'm wrong. .;-) I really want access to the entire HD... If the intention was to limit install size, it's possible that this was implemented in the transfer layer and not the CF layer. If it turns out that you can't write to the Title area on the 360, then the two would be functionally equivallent. What I'm hoping is that: 1) your deployed game can write to the Title area on the 360 2) you can only transfer 2GB into the title area, but your game can write as much there as it wants to (until the HD is full) I have to think some XNA MS dev knows the definitive answer to these...without having to write a test. <grin> I'd gladly test this myself but right now my 360 is 2 hours away. ;-( Ryan Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Voiding xBox 360 warrenty Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

- Select a mesh im trying to create a scene editor like app for my engine. In my mesh class, i have a boolean variable called "Selected". It determines if the mesh is selected. So does anybody know how to determine the coordinates of the mouse. And , Determine a bounding rectangle on the part of a mesh viewable. If you dont understand that, just think of how i can click on and select/deselect a mesh.

- Bounding Box Not Rotating Correctly dczraptor wrote: The XNA bounding box is axis aligned. That means it will never be rotated and so when you "rotate" it, you just get a larger box needed to encompass the entire model. Here's a blog entry about that: http://sharky.bluecog.co.nz/ p=108 Excellent, thanks. It looks like I'll have to use bounding spheres instead, then :) Tag: XNA Game Studio Express Voiding xBox 360 warrenty Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

Someone's been lying to you. Do you really think MS would release software that would void your warranty

Unless by "deploy" you mean "take hard drive out and copy your project onto it directly". No need to worry. Btw, you deploy your project onto the Xbox using Game Studio Express via the network. The launcher has everything necessary to run your compiled project. No need to send the "XNA framework" to your box.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure. No I'm not taking out the hard drive, I'm wanting to use the XNA Game Launcher that will be installed onto the 360, and I wasn't sure if the xna framework was installed onto the hard drive or not.
It doesn't make since to void the warrenty when it's a Microsoft product, promoted by Microsoft to be used on the 360.
Thanks for the info!
