1. genesis3d project
Hello
It seems like I remember someone was working on genesis3d, but I'm not sure
if they are doing a wrapper for it. Does anyone remember anything about
that and is anyone working on that? I guess I need something to play with
since my miserable failure on OpenGL.
Thanks
Paul Martin
P.S. You can find more info on it at http:\\www.genesis3d.com
2. Re: genesis3d project
Yes, I attempted this after I ditched my work in Glide.
The start of my wrapper can be found here:
http://www.alphalink.com.au/~molasses/
The problem I ran into was the function geVFile_OpenNewSystem.
I couldn't get it to return a proper handle. It just returns NULL.
I was waiting until Genesis 3D 2 is released and then I'll have another
attempt at wrapping it. (still about 3 to 5 months away)
In the meantime I've just been learning to make 3d models.
It would be great if you (or anyone) could fix my Genesis wrapper because I
really don't want to have to learn and use Visual C++.

I downloaded your code to look at the geVFile_OpenNewSystem function.
I can't find it in your code.

Hello
It bombs on my system, because it appears that Driver returns a null and
Name trys to use it.
Driver = geDriver_SystemGetNextDriver(DrvSys, 0)
Name = geDriver_GetName(Driver, NameAdd)
I'll keep playing with it and what I come up with.
Thanks

It's defined on line 35 of genesis.ew and called on line 100 of test.exw.

You need to put at least the genesis.dll file in the directory your are
executing the code in.
You may need to put in the other genesis dll's in that directory, but with
just genesis.dll it brings up the logo and the error.
I've put the genesis.dll on my site.
http://www.alphalink.com.au/~molasses/gendll.zip
It's 257k, which is a bit easier than downloading the whole genesis sdk
(26meg).
Thanks for your interest in this,

I put all the dll' in that directory and it still bombs. Hmmmm.

7. Re: genesis3d project
have you set the genesis directory on line 59? (probably not, i should
really put this stuff in the text file)
line 59 of test.exw :
Engine = geEngine_Create(mol_hwnd, mol_title, "e:\\genesi~1\\")
change "e:\\genesi~1\\" to where you have the genesis sdk on your computer.

8. Re: genesis3d project
Hello
The source of my problem is that
Driver = geDriver_SystemGetNextDriver(DrvSys, 0)
returns a null value or 0. It apparently doesn't see any valid video
drivers. I'm running a voodoo 3 and the Gtest demos run fine. Hmmm.
Thanks

Please do something about your email as it is being received by Grafton city
library - and is causing much inconvenience.

It seems some one subsrcibed that library, and such the library should be
'unsubscribed' by the same library. Could we do it manually ? Maybe, some
one can email the list-manager about this ?
This list produces an enorm amount of mail and if you have no interest it
will certainly be an annoyance ... that I can understand.
