DLL to extend B3D released

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Userlibs/DLL to extend B3D released

Billp(Posted 2008) [#1]
I have uploaded the completed dll to our server, it adds a number of new commands to blitz3d. I have tested the commands and all seem to work fine, let me know if you experience any probs.

The zip contains the dll, decls as well as the freebasic code used to create the dll

enjoy,
Bill

puki(Posted 2008) [#2]
Oooh.


markcw(Posted 2008) [#3]
Thanks and thanks! I downloaded it twice so thanks again.


MadJack(Posted 2008) [#4]
Ripper. Downloading now - thanks very much for this!


Moraldi(Posted 2008) [#5]
Very useful DLL. Thanks!


Leon Drake(Posted 2008) [#6]
i wonder if this would work with B3dSDK


_33(Posted 2008) [#7]
So.... scrolling a texture without needing variables would look like this:

PositionTexture texture, BP_GetTexturePositionU(texture) + 0.05, BP_GetTexturePositionU(texture) + 0.05
.....or.........
BP_ScrollTexture(texture, 0.05, 0.05)

I would like to know what is the advantage of using these as opposed to using regular blitz peek and poke:

BP_PeekByte%( address ) : "PeekByte@4"
BP_PeekShort%( address ) : "PeekShort@4"
BP_PeekInt%( address ) : "PeekInt@4"
BP_PeekFloat#( address ) : "PeekFloat@4"

BP_PokeByte( address,value% ) : "PokeByte@8"
BP_PokeShort( address,value% ) : "PokeShort@8"
BP_PokeInt( address,value% ) : "PokeInt@8"
BP_PokeFloat( address,value# ) : "PokeFloat@8"


jfk EO-11110(Posted 2008) [#8]
Thanks a lot! As far as I see GetTextureFlags takes the texturebuffer as a parameter - any Idea on how to handle DDS textures (they return zero as buffer ID!)?


Abrexxes(Posted 2008) [#9]
Thanks for this! Newsed on the german board. :)


ZJP(Posted 2008) [#10]
_33 "I would like to know what is the advantage of using these as opposed to using regular blitz peek and poke:"

Blitz Peek/Poke only operate with Blitz's Bank.
BB_Poke an BB_Peek, with the entire system memory. Use carefully.

In French : Il me semble que tu comprends le francais _33 ;-) . La différence est la suivante. Les Peeks et Pokes de BLitz ne fonctionnent qu'avec les Banks. En revanche, avec BB_Peek* et BB_Poke*, tu peux accéder a toutes les adresses memoires du systeme. Accès le plus souvent protégé par le système.

JP


_33(Posted 2008) [#11]
ze french blitz user ZJP ouééééé!!! OkieZ merci mais t'as rien ajouté dans ton explication française, j'aurais pensé à un bonus?

Thanks for your french traduction ;) Well the first interesting thing I would use this on would be on image memory. But I guess it's not as easy as that. You need to get the pointer of the image, and the image has to reside in the system RAM, not the videocard! So, this is the first place I would try to use this. I'll try to do it this weekend.


puki(Posted 2008) [#12]
Where is your report soldier?


(tu) sinu(Posted 2008) [#13]
good stuff, thanks for this.


_33(Posted 2008) [#14]
Oh I forgot to say, that when you copy from image buffer to texture buffer, you loose the alpha channel.


Billp(Posted 2008) [#15]
Leon - not sure but i imagine it will unless BRL changed the structures themselves

jfk EO-11110 - I haven't played around with DDS textures but if I get a chance I'll play around a little & see what I come up with.

If anybody knows of any offsets I have missed , would appreciate it if you could pass em on.

Thanks for the input guys, has anyone ran into any bugs so far ?


_33(Posted 2008) [#16]
hi Billp, I written a question on the programming forum about the .label clause in Blitz. I want to know what you think about it.

http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=77709


Ross C(Posted 2008) [#17]
Niiiiice :o) Thanks!


Sake906(Posted 2008) [#18]
Uhm... very nice, but where is "EntityExists()" ?


Beaker(Posted 2008) [#19]
And NextEntity() - this lets you access all the entities in the world. I remember Leadwerks did something similar. It's quite useful.


Billp(Posted 2008) [#20]
@ Beaker I got em'
BP_GetNextEntity%( entity ) : "GetNextEntity@4" ; returns entity following this one
BP_GetLastEntity%( entity ) : "GetLastEntity@4" ; returns entity before this one

@ Sake906 if you create a world pivot or some such you can use BP_GetNextEntity%( entity ) to loop thru them all & check for EntityExists() I may update the dll soon & will add this command when I do

I had hoped to access animation info as well but cannot find out how to do so, even Mark couldn't tell me how to find it lol.

I also would like to Add EntityOriginX,Y,Z etc. but the pointers used by others in the past don't seem to be correct, they always contain 0


bulat(Posted 2008) [#21]
can help tutorial create dll for blitz3d step by step


Billp(Posted 2008) [#22]
The Freebasic code used to create the dll is available with the download, is that of any help ?


Sake906(Posted 2008) [#23]
I have a serious problem here...

BP_GetNextEntity%( entity ) and its counterpart rarely ever return the "next" entity when I use a world pivot (yes, created at the begining when all life as we know it was created)

It keeps returning zero and I have been two days trying to figure this thing out...

I think other functions on the library aren't working quite well either... am I doing something wrong? missing something?


Billp(Posted 2008) [#24]
Actually you are correct I had the Next/Last offsets screwed up, I re-ftped the zip & it should work ok now, what else have you had problems with ?


GIB3D(Posted 2008) [#25]
What I was thinking BP_ClampValue(Value#,-2,2) would do, would be a shorter version of doing this
If Value < -2 Then Value = -2
If Value > 2 Then Value = 2


But it didn't do that. It didn't do anything. Here's what I tried.



Heh, do I have the wrong idea of what this function is supposed to do?


Billp(Posted 2008) [#26]
BP_ClampValue returns a value which you have to assign to Clamp

Clamp = BP_ClampValue(Clamp,-2,2)


Andrew Mann2(Posted 2008) [#27]
does it work with BlitzPlus the program? Blitzplus managed to load after extracting and copying the .dll and .decls file.


Gabriel(Posted 2008) [#28]
does it work with BlitzPlus the program?

BlitzPlus doesn't have cameras, lights, entities, textures, brushes or sprites. What possible use would those commands be to you in BlitzPlus?

The color conversion, memory and math stuff should work fine, although those few functions are almost certainly available elsewhere.


SLotman(Posted 2008) [#29]
I would love to see the source of this... so it could be implemented using the windows api, without the need for a dll.

At least a list of offsets would do it.

Nevermind, found it:

lo-tekk(Posted 2008) [#30]
The zip contains the dll, decls as well as the freebasic code used to create the dll



_PJ_(Posted 2009) [#31]
The link seems dead now, is anyone else able to upload this?


Billp(Posted 2009) [#32]
We let our server go but I have uploaded it to http://www.mediafire.com/?mj2jkayogo2

Bill


_PJ_(Posted 2009) [#33]
Thank you very much, Bill!

I guess I should check these things more regularly than 11 months later :D


_PJ_(Posted 2009) [#34]
I notice that the colour conversion functions:

BP_GetIntRed%( IntColor ) : "GetIntRed@4" ; returns red component of an integer 
BP_GetIntGreen%( IntColor ) : "GetIntGreen@4" ; returns green component of an integer
BP_GetIntBlue%( IntColor ) : "GetIntBlue@4" ; returns blue component of an integer
BP_GetIntAlpha%( IntColor ) : "GetIntAlpha@4" ; returns alpha component of an integer
BP_GetRGBInt%( r,g,b ) : "GetRGBInt@12" ; converts r,g,b to integer
BP_GetRGBAInt%( r,g,b,a ) : "GetRGBAInt@16" ; converts r,g,b,a To integer


Seem to operate by returning the overall Integer as a negative, with 255,255,255 being equivalent to -1
Whilst this isn't so much a problem itself, it does have a side effect where the BLUE component is in fact the first and the RED component is the last one returned.

It's not too hard to alter in the Decls, switching the Red and the Blue function names :)


Hotshot2005(Posted 2009) [#35]
Is this BLITZ 3D Library for Freebasic?


Hotshot2005(Posted 2009) [#36]
Could anyone answer the question above please.


ZJP(Posted 2009) [#37]
No,
This is a lib for Blitz3D, make with FreeBasic ;-)

JP


puki(Posted 2009) [#38]
I just got around to having a go on this.

BP_SetLightMaxRange%( light,range# ) works like a dream come true in Blitz3D-land - in terms of actually having a maximum range a light can reach without continuing to bleed all over everything

Blitz3D's internal LightRange command was always a bit squiffy.

The good thing about the internal version is that it was very, very subtle - albeit very inaccurate. The new one is too abrubt (it doesn't shade), yet it does exactly what it is meant to.

Luckily it works alongside LightRange so that you can lessen the abruptness.


Mike0101(Posted 2009) [#39]
Is this faster then same function writen in pure blitzbasic?


lo-tekk(Posted 2009) [#40]
I've found that freebasic in general is slightly faster than blitzbasic even if called via dll. I use it with the MT random number generator that is more consistent than the native blitz commands.


GaryV(Posted 2009) [#41]
The mdeiafire link doesn't seem to be working, does anybody have the original upload?


Mike0101(Posted 2009) [#42]
Thanks


ZJP(Posted 2009) [#43]
"...The mdeiafire link doesn't seem to be working, does anybody have the original upload?..."

Here. I would keep the link for a few days :-)

*Removed*

JP


GaryV(Posted 2009) [#44]
Got it, Thank you :)


ZJP(Posted 2009) [#45]
You're welcome...

JP


Mike0101(Posted 2009) [#46]
I don't understand the advanced light parameters (lightcone)? How can I set a flashlight like light? Thanks the help


puki(Posted 2009) [#47]
You can make a flashlight with the standard Blitz3D spotlight.


Mike0101(Posted 2009) [#48]
Yes, thank you


_PJ_(Posted 2009) [#49]
Some descriptions listed in the Decls comments are a little off, for example BP_SetLightAmbient states "Sets the Specular Light" Of course,, it's a little obvious but just pointing it out :)


_PJ_(Posted 2009) [#50]

BP_GetEntityHidden%( entity ) : "GetEntityHidden@4" ; returns true if entity is hidden



This also appears to be incorrect.

BP_GetEntityHidden() returns FALSE for Hidden, and TRUE for 'shown' Entities.

In my own decls file, I've renaamed the function "BP_GetEntityShown()" :)


Bobysait(Posted 2009) [#51]
BP_GetEntityHidden(entity) returns "-1" if entity is 'shawn" and "0" if not... is that the normal way ? or there is something wrong ?

( I use blitz3d 1.98 , cause, newer versions have issues with fastext )
This dll(+decls) works by dealing with memory, so maybe offsets are differents in internal class of the blitz3d engine ... ?!

So my question :
Wich version of blitz3d is this dll intended to run with ?


lo-tekk(Posted 2009) [#52]
Freebasic returns NOT TRUE, which means -1 opposed to FALSE 0 in Blitz. Maybe this clarifies some issues.


_PJ_(Posted 2009) [#53]
That would explain it, -1 is a True result, as is anything OTHER than 0 in Blitz3D.
That may also explain the colour issues...


ZJP(Posted 2009) [#54]
Working well with Blitz3D 1.103?

JP


_PJ_(Posted 2009) [#55]
I've never needed ALL the functions, so any results of mine would be incomplete, but so far so good, I've not come across anything broken over the last few B3D updates.

And to be honest, I don't expect any to either, I think a lot of these functions access DX7 in ways in which B3D itself doesn't include the functions for. So only changig DX7 might affect this Lib
(I think, anyway!)


LineOf7s(Posted 2010) [#56]
Having had it pointed out the link here was dead, I've uploaded the version I have HERE for anyone who's looking for it.

Hope it helps (and apologies for the rampant necropost).


Leon Drake(Posted 2010) [#57]
AHHHHH /makes a mirror

which you can also get here http://www.vigilsoft.net/Blitz3dplus.zip


RemiD(Posted 2016) [#58]
seo for future searchers : this external lib allows you to get the brush color (red, green, blue) and to get the brush alpha
BP_GetBrushColorR%( brush ) : "GetBrushColorR@4"	; returns red component of BrushColor
BP_GetBrushColorG%( brush ) : "GetBrushColorG@4"	; returns green component of BrushColor
BP_GetBrushColorB%( brush ) : "GetBrushColorB@4"	; returns blue component of BrushColor
BP_GetBrushAlpha#( brush ) : "GetBrushAlpha@4"	; returns BrushAlpha

@RemiD Thanks for the "DLL to extend B3D"

I'm glad I got it before the expirebox expired.


dna(Posted 2016) [#63]
Is there any documentation for this anywhere?


RemiD(Posted 2017) [#64]
Yes, in post#1, just read what each function allows you to set/get...
