I saw how Scrin and D6 did there huds, and it got me thinking on the possibilities of drawing things on Renegade's screen.
Since the only way to keep source private while still releasing it is with a plugin...
Is there a way to draw parts of the hud via a plugin?
Just like you would with "void __declspec(dllexport) UpdateHUD2()" from the Shaders.dll?

You couldn't keep the source private if you released a plug-in that was based on the scripts.dll shader's plug-in. It's still covered under the license agreement.
But yeah, you can draw thing on the screen with a shaders plug-in.

Ok that fixes that problem but why is it saying:
1>.\shaders.cpp(37) : fatal error C1189: #error :
The Renegade shaders.dll requires the DirectX August 2006 SDK installed in order to produce a proper executable.
If you wish to use a different version of the SDK, modify the delay load dll in linker settings to point to the newer d3dx.dll
I have
already set before it shows that error.

I know i have to do that but isnt the d3d9_30.dll already right?
It was added when installing the March 2009 SDK
So what do you thinnk would it be for March 2009 if this isnt the one?
PS. The only difference between his screenshot and mine if i where to post one is i don't have user32.lib in the Additional Dependencies. Although this is surely not the problem xD
|
March 2009 definately is not d3dx9_30.dll. I just don't feel like looking it up; the only confirmed DirectX SDK to build shaders.dll is the August 2006 one. Install that.

Ah you where indeed right. It was the file from the August 2006 SDK :S
I only cant find the more recent one. ATM im guessing on d3dx9_41.dll
EDIT: nope its not working but supposed to be this one i believe :S
EDIT2: I found this in shaders.cpp:
#if D3DX_SDK_VERSION != 30
#error The Renegade shaders.dll requires the DirectX August 2006 SDK installed in order to produce a proper executable. If you wish to use a different version of the SDK, modify the delay load dll in linker settings to point to the newer d3dx.dll
#endif
AFAIK this means even if i do change the Delay Load to the newest (confirmed that is d3dx9_41.dll) it will still give this error. Seems it doesnt check if it is newer/older yes or no but only if it is August 2006 version.
EDIT3: When i change #if D3DX_SDK_VERSION != 30 #if D3DX_SDK_VERSION <= 30

Um is that a good idea?
and if so .. why not just remove the line instead of adding "<="?
|
Actually it comes down to the same point as having to change the _MSC_VER_ == 1400 to _MSC_VER_ <= 1400 in engine_common.cpp (or something) to compile scripts on VC2008.
And i think you could delete the line BUT only if you also delete the 2 following lines otherwise it would ALWAYS give the error you have to change the Delay Load DLL.
I just changed it to #if D3DX_SDK_VERSION <= 30

The *reason* for that #if being exactly the way it was is so that the warning always triggers if you don't have the SDK matching that version number installed. If the DLL file says 41, the D3DX_SDK_VERSION is 41 and the line should be changed to read #if D3DX_SDK_VERSION != 41

True but i changed it to <= 30 so even if i get on a PC with a version between 30 and 41 i still can compile it 
|
But it won't work because the Delay Load settings would be wrong. It was setup to always trigger if the SDK version was different because you can only build versions of shaders.dll that match the version of the SDK installed.

I did use that first but as i typed earlier it works also in the way i use it now so it doesnt really matter because it works now too.
*Jumped into my mind:
And wouldnt that it the same for case for the change of to which has to be changed to use a newer VC++ version than 2005.
What i did is actually the same but than for using a newer SDK instead of using a newer Compiler.
EDIT: What version does TT use for scripts 4.0?

It's not the same case as for the change of the _MSC_VER_ because the DXSDK error was put in there to remind people to look at the project settings and match the SDK version up, whereas the _MSC_VER_ code was put in there to fix issues with the way scripts.dll did things when Visual Studio 2005 SP1 *or newer* was used to compile it.
scripts 4.0 is currently using the November 2007 DirectX SDK
