Meadow Demo

[AriusEso]

Some of you may remember the original meadow from the old beta sub. This version was written just after 6.5 went public. So it runs on the current build. It has a few extra features thrown in also - mostly some fullscreen post shaders that I poached from NVIDIA. You'll notice there is a music credit in there. Ignore that, the music crashed on some systems for some unknown reason so I removed it - I just forget to remove the credit also .

You will need to have the Delphi/C++ TV3D DLL registered on your system. This demo also only runs on cards capable of SM2( shader model 2 ).

You can download Meadow here: http://azazeldev.org/mdonew/mdo.rar
If you view the source within the Delphi IDE you need to install: http://azazeldev.org/mdonew/flatstyl.zip

The old version of Meadow, with source for Delphi, C++, VB6, VB.NET and c# can be found here: http://azazeldev.org/mdo/

( the old version will need tweaking before it compiles or runs )

nice.  lots of good stuff in this demo.  someone should port to c# again

[Venus]

Yeah port it to c# I still have the old one.

I like it. Thank you Arius.

download for "flatstyl.zip" not valid.

[AriusEso]

Fixed.

It may error when you try to build the VCL. It'll highlight "vcl50" probably, just change it to "vcl" and it should build.

Hi,

I would love to run this demo - but after windows fade in - it quits to windows.

Can you solve my problem?

Here is log :

[Korinu]

Same here

[Lenn]

Perhaps it has issues with the new prerelease.

[AriusEso]

It is the new pre-release. It's cause Sylv changed the render surface creation function.

[AriusEso]

Uploading a new compile now.

*grumbles about useless string name additions to classes people should be keeping track of themselves anyway*

[AriusEso]

Ok, all done.

[Lenn]

Works now. Just that everything seems to be too fast, like it's in fast forward. I get around 100-160fps on core2 duo 6750 @ 3Ghz and 8800gt.

The post processing shaders are also pretty sweet. Let's have someone convert it to C# or VB now that'd be greatttt.

Cheers Arius!

Anyone had any luck on porting this to Vb.net? I would really like to see it in VB and it looks like others do too!

That would be nice ^_^
