Using TV3D 6.2 with Visual C++ 7.0 (VS.NET)

« on: February 18, 2005, 01:27:12 AM »

I've managed to make TV 6.2 work with Visual C++ .NET (unmanaged). I've seen some threads complaining about that so here is what I did. You have to change the tv3dcpp.h file as follows:

Code:

#ifndef TV3D_ENGINE_HEADER
#define TV3D_ENGINE_HEADER

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

typedef int DSCAPS;

/*
* Defines
*/
#define tvtrue VARIANT_TRUE
#define tvfalse VARIANT_FALSE

/*
* TV3DEngine declarations
*/

#import <dx8vb.dll> auto_rename named_guids

// Replace with the location of your file:
#import "D:\TV3DSDK\Bin\truevision3d.dll" /*auto_rename*/ named_guids

#include <d3d8.h>

using namespace TrueVision3D;

typedef _TVActor *ITVActor;
typedef _TVActor2 *ITVActor2;
typedef _TVAI *ITVAI;
typedef _TVAtmosphere *ITVAtmosphere;
typedef _TVBitmapParts *ITVBitmapParts;
typedef _TVBSPTree *ITVBSPTree;
typedef _TVCamera *ITVCamera;
typedef _TVCameraFactory *ITVCameraFactory;
typedef _TVCollisionResult *ITVCollisionResult;
typedef _TVDelphiGlobals *ITVGlobals;
typedef _TVEngine *ITVEngine;
typedef _TVForceFeedEffect *ITVForceFeedEffect;
typedef _TVForceFeedEffects *ITVForceFeedEffects;
typedef _TVGameController *ITVGameController;
typedef _TVGameControllers *ITVGameControllers;
typedef _TVGraphicEffect *ITVGraphicEffect;
typedef _TVInputEngine *ITVInputEngine;
typedef _TVInternalObjects *ITVInternalObjects;
typedef _TVKeyFrameAnim *ITVKeyFrameAnim;
typedef _TVLandscape *ITVLandscape;
typedef _TVLightEngine *ITVLightEngine;
typedef _TVMaterialFactory *ITVMaterialFactory;
typedef _TVMesh *ITVMesh;
typedef _TVParticleSystem *ITVParticleSystem;
typedef _TVPath *ITVPath;
typedef _TVRenderSurface *ITVRenderSurface;
typedef _TVScene *ITVScene;
typedef _TVScreen2DImmediate *ITVScreen2DImmediate;
typedef _TVScreen2DText *ITVScreen2DText;
typedef _TVTextureFactory *ITVTextureFactory;
typedef _TVTileMap *ITVTileMap;
typedef _TVViewport *ITVViewport;

/*
* Declaration of the Interface Creating functions
*/
ITVActor CreateTVActor();
ITVActor2 CreateTVActor2();
ITVAI CreateTVAI();
ITVAtmosphere CreateTVAtmosphere();
ITVBitmapParts CreateTVBitmapParts();
ITVBSPTree CreateTVBSPTree();
ITVCamera CreateTVCamera();
ITVCameraFactory CreateTVCameraFactory();
ITVCollisionResult CreateTVCollisionResult();
ITVGlobals CreateTVGlobals();
ITVEngine CreateTVEngine();
ITVForceFeedEffect CreateTVFeedEffect();
ITVForceFeedEffects CreateTVFeedEffects();
ITVGameController CreateTVGameController();
ITVGameControllers CreateTVGameControllers();
ITVGraphicEffect CreateTVGraphicEffect();
ITVInputEngine CreateTVInputEngine();
ITVInternalObjects CreateTVInternalObjects();
ITVKeyFrameAnim CreateTVKeyFrameAnim();
ITVLandscape CreateTVLandscape();
ITVLightEngine CreateTVLightEngine();
ITVMaterialFactory CreateTVMaterialFactory();
ITVParticleSystem CreateTVParticleSystem();
ITVPath CreateTVPath();
ITVScene CreateTVScene();
ITVScreen2DImmediate CreateTVScreen2DImmediate();
ITVScreen2DText CreateTVScreen2DText();
ITVTextureFactory CreateTVTextureFactory();
ITVTileMap CreateTVTileMap();
ITVViewport CreateTVViewport();

#define LIGHT(a) (DxVBLibA::D3DLIGHT8 *)(a)

typedef ::_D3DLIGHT8 TV_LIGHT ;

/*
* Declaration of the Extra/Macro functions
*/

//RGBA returns the color in hex format, the arguments are 0-1
unsigned int RGBA(float r, float g, float b, float a);

//Extracts the path of a file, if you pass the GetModuleFileName path,
//it will return the path where it is existing, the Application Path
void AppPath(char* PathOfFile,char* ret_Path);

// light color
inline _D3DCOLORVALUE LightColor(float r, float g, float b, float a)
{
_D3DCOLORVALUE cv;
cv.r = r;
cv.g = g;
cv.b = b;
cv.a = a;
return cv;
}

// Some strings conversion routines.
// For example when you need to return a string from the TV3D DLL
BSTR ConvertStringToBSTR(const char* pSrc);
char* ConvertBSTRToString(BSTR pSrc);

// Don't forget to free the memory allocated by these functions.
#endif

Don't forget to replace the truevision3d.dll path in the code above. I've tested all C++ Tutorials, using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1. Some of them require you to change the namespace of some types from TrueVision3D to DxVBLibA. Also I got a link error about LIBC.lib, which was resolved with the command /NODEFAULTLIB:"libc.lib" in the Linker options. Anyway it seems to work fine. Cheesy

Hi,

I'm using Visual Studio.NET 2003 and VC++.

I tried importing the VC6++ project in, but when I try to build I get 1000's of errors. I have tried changing the .hpp file as above, but no luck. I have made the references as explained in the docs, but still problems.

What else can I do?

Thanks

I have the vs 2003 and I have compiled without errors.

Remember to place the directoris in VS of the libs, and make the configuration that is in the manual with vs6 but for vs7.

With all... I recomend you to use the vs6 version, you can have the two compilers at the same time in the same machine.

ttom, as I said you have to change the namespace of the enum type to DxVBLibA:

Code:

pLand->SetWaterEffect(tvfalse, 0.5, tvtrue, (enum DxVBLibA::CONST_D3DBLEND)D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA, (enum DxVBLibA::CONST_D3DBLEND)D3DBLEND_INVSRCALPHA, tvfalse, 0);

I'm still having build errors,

I uise Visual C++ Express 2005, I think its .NET, as I had to install the framework, I am very new to C++, I only got it yesterday, I use Dark Basic Pro before this and was told TV3D was a good conversion, but even trying this code, I can't run the tutorial code that came in the C++ 6 folder with TV3D....

What did i do wrong?
I have tried pasting the header file, but it did not work. So i reveted it back to original.
I am using visual studio 2003 C++.Net.

Can someone show me how to configure my C++. I am using C#, so i never touch C++ before except for C

Thanks everyone

I really never used TV 6.2... As soon as I saw what TV could do and saw what 6.5 could do I bought a license so I could get the beta which is designed to work with Visual C++ 7.

Just a guess, The errors here are complaining that it doesn't know what D3DCOLORVALUE is .... Have you tried finding the header file that D3DCOLORVALUE is defined in? This would be in the DirectX SDK.

The other thought here would be to use Visual C++ 6, which 6.2 is designed to use.

Using TV3D 6.2 with Visual C++ 7.0 (VS.NET)

« Reply #19 on: January 07, 2006, 12:00:25 AM »

is anything possible with Visual C++ 8 (2005) Express + TV 6.2

any help would be much appreciated

thanks

edit:
ive modded the header file, and have managed to get rid of all the errors except this one:

d:\program files\tv3dsdk\vc++6\tutorial 3\debug\truevision3d.tli(367) : error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from '__missing_type__ *' to '__missing_type__'
There is no context in which this conversion is possible

any ideas?
