umm, everything past the DX split

specifically...?

Glowmaps, check.  What else?  If we know, we can help you merge it back in.  The historical CVS archive is posted on Warpcore for all to see.

you know this is odd everything seems to be back all of the sudden
even the improoved error mesages and little things like that

GOD DAMN IT IM BEHIND!

ok while investigateing an odd parseing error involving one of the things that didn't seem to be in the code things started acting weird, the optional string seemed to not be working and when I went to step through it, it was as if what I was seeing on the screen wasn't matching up with what was getting called, I cleaned and rebuilt and it is still not working, it's like the code isn't getting compiled but it thinks it is and it's moveing things to were it shouldn't be or something (yes this is how confused I am at what is going on)

wait, I think the debuger was set to run the wrong exe, that might explain the weirdness

[Bobboau]

why did RT set up d3d_SetTexture to not use it's stage thingy, I just spent the las two hours trying to find were my glow mapping code was screwed up and I find this
HRESULT hr = lpD3DDevice->SetTexture(0, texture_ptr);
were it should have been this
HRESULT hr = lpD3DDevice->SetTexture(stage, texture_ptr);
fry_day I think this might have been why you could never get you're version of the glow mapping working

[Fry_Day]

It most definitely is.

Edit: which leads me to ask, why are some of the D3D8 files not in the project directory tree in MSVC, forcing me to open them manually?

Edit2: never mind. Got it already.

[Fry_Day]

They indeed work like a charm. I believe you also need to comment #define D3D_CALLS_CHECK 1, since there's a check inside d3d_SetTextureStageState to check if the texture stage is set to anything other than 0, if D3D_CALLS_CHECK is defined

[Inquisitor]

As for why RT did something specific, I can speculate that it was probably because it was the first time he had done a DX8 port.

If that change fixes a bug, log the bug in Bugzilla, fix it, commit it, then close it in bugzilla so it counts toward the totals.

[Bobboau]

well it wasn't realy a bug, as it didn't effect anything other than glowmapping (wich was not implemented untill now)
