Title: Need Help With 1st Quicke Port
Post by: blueshogun96 on October 19, 2004, 10:19:00 AM

Ok, this is a port of a game I did a long time ago, but never did much with it.  You see, I don't have a modded xbox because I don't have a job to buy a mod, and no one will hire me because I NEVER get an inverview.  Anyway, I submitted this game to xbins, the crew said that they were getting weird results from running the game on a modded xbox.  And since I don't have a modded xbox, Cxbx was my only alternative to make sure it works.  I never had any problems with the game as it works fine on Cxbx.  Can anyone help me find out what's wrong?  The src, get it here and try it.  If you fix anything or make an add on, I'll give you credit for it, thank you.

NOTE: if you have VC++ 6 or 7 (NOT 7.1), you will have to create a new project.

It is a bit of a mess.
When I compile it as a debug instead of release it dies at the beginning.

I have no answer at this moment it will take a bit of debugging.
I would guess you have a variable that hasn't been initialized some where if it works in the CXBX. As the whole of the memory will be 0.

Maybe also have a look at some of the casting.

Sorry can't be more help.

 Draw_Clip_Line32(0,100, 640,100,
                 rgb_red,(DWORD*)Direct3D.pBuffer,Direct3D.GetLockedRect().Pitch);

Your draw routine is screwed some how.
This does not draw a line, but a 8 pixel line high and about 60 wide.

Hope this helps.

 Please tell me, what version of VC++ do you have?  Did you have to create a new project?

That's a neat looking game! I love old-fashioned style video games... That's a game that doesn't need any "graphical enhancements". Very nice! Hope to see it work in the future!!!

Hmm, the image you posted is not showing up.  Please check to make sure the link is correct.  If I can actually see what is going on... then I can fix it with no problem.  I'm guessing maybe I'm using the wrong bitdepth or the screen buffer is at the wrong bit depth.

EDIT: Now that I can see it, I'll get to work.

Thanks.  By the way, I think I might have found the problem.  It appears to be a pitch problem.  I'm assuming that the pitch calculation for the xbox is wrong.  I'll try some different calculations and see what happens.
