Displaying a Bitmap

[ThePentiumGuy]

hey

 

in d3d, ive tried displaying a bitmap..

i figured out that you gotta move the vertices around to adjust to the size of the bitmap(30x30)

 

       verts(0) = CreateFlexVertex(0, 0, 0, Color.Transparent.ToArgb, 0, 0)
       verts(1) = CreateFlexVertex(30, 0, 0, Color.Transparent.ToArgb, 1, 0)
       verts(2) = CreateFlexVertex(0, 30, 0, Color.Transparent.ToArgb, 0, 1)
       verts(3) = CreateFlexVertex(30, 30, 0, Color.Transparent.ToArgb, 1, 1)

 

the above displays a big green square,

changing the 30's to 1's, you can see the image a little better

but if you change the 1's to .3 or something, he becomes easeir to see

 

any idea what values would work for this? or am i doing this wrong altogether?

 

note, the file's attached, binaries are there to get the path for the images, but theres no EXEs

d3d engine.zip

Make the values even smaller, or move the camera around

i have - .05 pretty small, you can barely see the image now

even still, the image doesnt look like it should be, its somewhat twisted and backward..

 

- atm, idk how to use cameras right now

 

quick reply tho :-p

 

thx

you know what?

 

i just realized the problem, i was displaying the image using World Coordinates o_O

 

i needed to use ScreenCoordinates by changing the vertex type from

 

CustomVertex.PositionTextured to CustomVertex.TransformedTextured

 

that was really stupid on my part...

sry
