Issues with Blitz in Vista?2nd April 2008 Bit confused by that. I seem to have posted a badly cobbled together version... The only problem I see (compared to what I was expecting) is that the scrollbar is missing... And the odd spacing that I sorted out. Try this version [code] Graphics(640,48*snip* |

Issues with Blitz in Vista?2nd April 2008 I've had some feedback regarding the file navigation thing I was working on... It appears that Windows Vista doesn't like it :( First question I have, is it a general issue with Blitz? Second question, does Blitz have issues with USB drives? The thing *snip* |

Search for available drives29th March 2008 Thanks, not sure they're useful on this occasion but I'll bare them in mind. I just hopped over to BB.com and can't believe how quickly I found the answer!

Search for available drives29th March 2008 (whoops, sorry about the typo in the title! :p ) This is related to my file browsing code but I wanted some fresh eyes rather than it just looking like an update. I've added buttons to jump to different drives and it works perfectly within the Blitz IDE *snip* |

radar in 3d space....28th March 2008 That's how I remember it, as well as other similar games back in the Spectrum days! Vertical lines to represent hight. An easier alternative, though probably not so intuitive to use, is to have a colour scale for the y-axis, maybe as simply as 255,0,0 for*snip* |

loadmesh vs copyentity26th March 2008 I would say copy entity is quicker because, at the very least, it doesn't require any disk access. There may be other reasons but that's the one that springs to mind. |

File/Folder browsing in Blitz3D...26th March 2008 One last update (I think...)

What's Your ultimate goal in Programming?22nd March 2008 No goal here. It's just something I enjoy that I can play around with and occasionally make use of.

File/Folder browsing in Blitz3D...22nd March 2008 Yes but... does it make much difference? I avoided it thinking it was a 'wait until a key is pressed' command but that would be WaitKey()! I've just got into the habit of KeyHit() for using cursor keys. I suppose you'd be checking ASCII values rather tha*snip* |

File/Folder browsing in Blitz3D...21st March 2008 Actually, it wasn't that hard :D A couple of fiddly moments where the scrollbar insisted of scrolling up when the mouse was down but not moving - which I think was due to numbers being rounded off in the original code and then fall short when I converted *snip* |

File/Folder browsing in Blitz3D...20th March 2008 Well, since we're sharing, I've added the current location in a bar at the top and have just been fighting with a scroll bar - more for an indicator of how far down you are than to scroll with... my brain hurts too much to use it to scroll with :D [code]G*snip* |

File/Folder browsing in Blitz3D...20th March 2008 OK, something wasn't right and like I said, it was "a bit patchy at the bottom" and now I know why. Where you had it scrolling at a rate of MouseZ()*20 I took that to be the line spacing (although I usually use 15 myself and it clearly states in your comm*snip* |

File/Folder browsing in Blitz3D...19th March 2008 Aaah fair enough :D Thanks for the update. I've modified the scrolling to stop it going beyond the top and bottom.

find 3d object on 2d screen....19th March 2008 "You're probably best off coupling a sprite with each object and hiding the sprite when it isn't selected. Then blitz can do all the scaling for you."

problem with animations19th March 2008 Lets not forget though, SoCoder isn't exactly as big as BlitzCoder was and is generally quieter anyway. I don't know about Milkshape and how the explode tool works but I found Blitz to be a bit funny about animated meshes that I exported as .3ds as well. *snip* |

cell shadding16th March 2008 That's fair enough, I just wonder what's wrong with my models :D As I said the second code loads my .3ds models OK but the scaling doesn't seem to do anything. I'm sure that's not your fault at all, I was just curious as to whether anyone knew of an issue*snip* |

cell shadding15th March 2008 Interesting... The original code wouldn't work with .3ds models, didn't like the surface handling. The second version is happy but doesn't seem to do anything! I don't know if it's my models or .3ds models in general??? |

cell shadding14th March 2008 That's pretty cool and so simple when you think about it. I got confused by the VertexNX(surf,a)*1 part but changing the 1 soon made it clear. In fact the model I tried it with to start with was very small so it didn't look like it was working properly at*snip* |
