Need help with Harwired/Hybrid

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Userlibs/Need help with Harwired/Hybrid

Greetings.

I've recently started using Blitz3D and I'm satisfied with it so far, but only one thing bothers me about it: the version of DirectX it uses. So, I browsed the forums and found Hardwired and Hybrid. I've downloaded them from here: http://chipmunkplayer.free.fr/release.zip

In Hybrid, the Run button does nothing and the executable it makes does nothing either, just appears for a moment in Task Manager.
When using regular Blitz3D with the Hardwired userlib, I get error messages every time I try to run the samples. It's either "Not enough parameters" or "Memory access violation". These only occur upon calling "dx" functions.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, that I'm using Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2.

Hi and welcome. :)

Yes, hardwired/hybrid latest version is broken and I have tested the same result myself. I'm sure you also have read the sad and unfortunate passing of the author (Ploppy) so this project is now at a halt.

If you can even get a hold of older working versions and you need to have animated meshes (vertex/bones), apparently it is also not implemented yet.

You should check out the Irrlicht Wrapper instead as it has been recently updated to 1.8.1.

good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I have downloaded it and will look into it soon.

Also, I need a lil' bit of help finding something that allows Blitz3D to play tracker music (MOD, S3M, XM, IT) without crashing. I know it's off-topic, but it's unnecessary to create a new thread for this.

No problem and sorry, no idea with the sound stuff, try asking MidiMaster. He seems to be more knowledgeable with sound stuff in blitz tech.
