that builds the second polygon(the bigger triangle) -
My polygons are even Broken, they were suppose to form a square and lay flat on the matrix
-
In my result of lack of knowledge with math i have no idea how to fix this please help me out T_T
```
Public Sub Build_Tile(ByVal Texture As String)
Dim VA(0 To 7) As NEMO_VERTEX
Dim i As Long
Set Mesh = New cNemo_Mesh
With VA(0)
.X = 0
.Y = 0
.z = 0
.tu = 0
.tv = 0
End With
With VA(1)
.X = .X + 32
.Y = VA(0).Y
.z = .z + 32
.tu = 0 + 32 + 1
.tv = VA(0).tv
End With
With VA(2)
.X = VA(0).X
.Y = .X + 32
.z = VA(0).z
.tu = VA(0).tu
.tv = 0 + 32 + 1
End With
With VA(3)
.X = VA(1).X
.Y = VA(2).Y
.z = VA(3).z
.tu = VA(1).tu
.tv = VA(2).tv
End With
With VA(4)
.X = 32
.Y = 32
.z = 32
.tu = 0
.tv = 0
End With
With VA(5)
.X = .X - 32
.Y = VA(0).Y
.z = .z - 32
.tu = 0 - 32 - 1
.tv = VA(0).tv
End With
With VA(6)
.X = VA(0).X
.Y = .X - 32
.z = VA(0).z
.tu = VA(0).tu
.tv = 0 - 32 - 1
End With
With VA(3)
.X = VA(5).X
.Y = VA(6).Y
.z = VA(7).z
.tu = VA(5).tu
.tv = VA(6).tv
End With
With Mesh
.Add_Texture Texture
For i = 0 To 7
.Add_NemoVertex VA(i), 0
Next
.Set_CullMode D3DCULL_NONE
.BuildMesh
End With
End Sub
```
Draws everything wrong…
if you need more information on definitions let me know, ill post it n_n -
Not too sure how your pet system works, but with handling strings using vbnullstring is better than 0.

This is how i currently have it set up.
```
Public TileGird as D3DVERTEX
```
On the sub routine:
```
Public Sub Build_TileGrid(ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal z As Long)
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
'we generate a grid with a random hight level for
'each control point
For i = -1 To 1
For j = -1 To 1
TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).x = (i) * 1000
TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).y = (i) * 1000
TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).z = (j) * 1000
TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).tu = (i + 1) / 2
TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).tv = (j + 1) / 2
Next j
Next i
End Sub
```
Now I'm stuck at what step i need to do to draw everything. Can anyone help me create a formula? -
thanks budweiser, this kinda helps me think of a method to build one.

[VISUAL Basic 6]
I'm trying to make a routine for a vertex array so i may draw 3d grid on a from using:
```
DrawPrimitive, D3DPT_LINELIST, 0, mapsize / 2
```
and the mapsize in parameter in the data. Can anyone point me to the right direction on create a vertex array to draw a grid?
this is how i have it setup for now, i want it to be a tile grid with multiple polygons.
Rendered Normal:
[attachment=771:test1.png]
Rendered Wireframe:
[attachment=772:test2.png]
I need it to look like this with the floor:
[attachment=773:test3.png] -
looks like it worked like a charm. thanks yet again tael

Okay I did my code like so:
```
Public WIREMODE As Boolean
```
```
Public Function Init_Render_States()
WIREMODE = Not WIREMODE
'Setup render states
With Nemo
.Set_EngineCullMode D3DCULL_NONE
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_SRCBLEND, D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_LIGHTING, True
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_DESTBLEND, D3DBLEND_INVSRCALPHA
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, False
If WIREMODE Then
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_WIREFRAME
Else
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_SOLID
End If
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_ZENABLE, False
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_ZWRITEENABLE, False
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_POINTSPRITE_ENABLE, 1
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_POINTSCALE_ENABLE, 0
.Set_EngineAlphaBlendingOp D3DBLENDOP_ADD
.Set_EngineSpecularEnable False
End With
End Function
```
Under frmMapEditor i have this:
```
Private Sub chkWireMode_Click()
If chkWireMode.value Then
WIREMODE = True
Else
WIREMODE = False
End If
End Sub
```
With the check box on the form, i wanted to toggle renderstates using the chkbox, but it doesn't seem to update, I thought maybe adding:
```
If WIREMODE Then
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_WIREFRAME
Else
.Set_EngineRenderState D3DRS_FILLMODE, D3DFILL_SOLID
End If
```
into the gameloop might work, but it froze and crashed the compiler. Any ideas on how to get around this? -
One of the best 3rd Party tools highly recommended for VB6 is "[Code Smart](http://www.axtools.com/products-codesmart-vb6.php)", then there is also this for an alternative: [Link](http://www.mztools.com/index.aspx)

Need a cool looking eclipse logo, can some one make one for my engine? I prefer a dark theme is that not too much to ask. Maybe grudge font?
-
~sigh i wish i could join…Its bad enough that i have a engine built from scratch to be worked + college.
-
wow very simple! why didn't i think of that. thanks, i will try it with a msgbox.
-
How did you benchmark it? Doing whatever you did to get that result would help me a lot in the future for testing code.
-
Your answer had me convinced, I think I may go with the second block. Thank you so much for telling me. I'll be following this topic for more answers in case if any one objects.

Okay I have been studying many methods to create a string array for cache files and I've seen many methods, It blew my mind all week. I just need to know which method would be better in a system.
Method Referenced by eclipse:
```
Public Tex_Floors() as string
Public Count_Floor() as long
Count_Floor = 1
Do While FileExist(App.Path & PATH_FLOORS & Count_Floor & GFX_EXT, True)
ReDim Preserve Tex_Floors(0 To Count_Floor) As String
Tex_Floors(Count_Floor) = App.Path & PATH_FLOORS & Count_Floor & GFX_EXT
Count_Floor = Count_Floor + 1
Loop
Count_Floor = Count_Floor - 1
```
V.S.
Referenced by google researches
```
Public Tex_Floors(Floor_Count) as string
Dim i as long
For i = 1 To UBound(Tex_Floors)
Tex_Floors(i) = App.Path & PATH_FLOORS & i & GFX_EXT
Next
```
Both blocks work fine, please be detailed on why you pick your answer, there is got to be a good reason in your theory or fact.
Thank you. -
bump for tie breaker

Okay for a few month of learning and building this engine, I've been stuck with a direction on which path I should take, Graphics Wise.
Here are some screenshots any feedback from the community would help. Thank you.

dont mind the player sprite not being centered, I fix that later XD

Christ, I spent the whole night trying to figure this out. For some reason vb6 doesn't like it when i create more buffers on a separate form or picturebox. I tried linking them to another picturebox though im having the problem of this code.
```
DD_Clip.SetHWnd frmMain.picScreen.hWnd
```
Its not allowing me to create a duplicate.
Best bet is to just to just use bltfast, render the whole Menu with collision and get rid of frmMenu.
but thats just too much to do. =( -
seriously? alright you know what, this is going to need a InMenu Boolean and a bunch of other stuff you need to declare and set it up on the gameloop above InGame.
Create a sub routine for rendering that would replace NewCharacterBltSprite.and finally flip and render everything to frmMenu
Have this below the routine after setting up a rect for the sprite:
```
DX7.GetWindowRect frmMenu.picCreate.hwnd, dRECT
DDS_Primary.Blt dRECT, DDS_BackBuffer, sRECT, DDBLT_WAIT
```
This is just an idea on how it will work. Hence letting it be brief.
I'm going to get started on this now so I could post a better idea on gettting this to work. -
You probably relocated the source directory where vb6 picks off modules. Just be sure to check if it exist o the same directory where everything else is. Set the destination that missing module or add it to your project box.
-
as much as i can try too image an idea on what you're trying to do, i can't. You think you can post up some screenshots about it?

never had any problems with warping. Are you able to recreate this error?

im afraid the polygon will not stretch out, it draws nothing
