Ghoti: 1: i use -1 because when i was counting the number of faces, I would always get one more than their really is. so i set it to -1 and its worked fine. This will probebly be due to that the last line in the file will be read twice. I had this problem also. I first solved it by including anothe...

few things: 1.) why start the faces with -1? 2.) It looks like that you save the vertices the same order that you read them in model->verts and try to render those, you do not seem to use the faces. You should save the vertexnumbers belong to the faces and those in order so the first three in verts ...

I already have made an .obj loader so I may be of service but what exactly is the problem you encounter?

You are missing the enable blend and texture, and setting the correct blend functions before calling the sceGuDraw. Probably something like is what you need sceGuEnable( GU_TEXTURE_2D ); sceGuEnable( GU_BLENDING ); sceGuBlendFunc( GU_ADD, GU_SRC_ALPHA, GU_ONE...

Hi folks, I have this trianglestrip which is constructed with 4 vertices. No I want to fade out that trianglestrip which has a texture on it. I can fade in and out trianglestrips without textures on it but as soon as I use textures it does not work anymore. Now here is the code I try to use: int Gra...

but what I do not understand is why, why does it need the args and argp? why does it have to be an int as return value ? Because that's the definition of a thread entry function, same as the main program entry function main( ... ). Is there a non kernel function for creating and using thread by the...

Hi thanks! you are right but I also had to change the function to a static and like this: int LoadingScreen::RunLoadingScreen(SceSize args, void *argp) { but what I do not understand is why, why does it need the args and argp? why does it have to be an int as...

Hi folks, I am trying to create a simple loadingscreen function. I do it with the sceKernelCreateThread function which create the loading sequence rendering code while the main thread remains loading up models/pictures/variable/files etc.... anyway... that was the idea :) As in the past I have some ...

Hi I have some info on it in my controls tutorial:
http://www.ghoti.nl/PSPtutorialm5.php

hope it helps

P.S. don't forget to look at the tips section, it covers how the analog stick works and some nice info to use it without problems :)

Okay so in that case it is clear that the nine point field I commented out does not work. However as far as I can tell the four pointfiel should. (or is there a minimum?) 1----2 | | | | 0----3 This is how I create the 2x2 bezier patch, it should work as far as I know. Do you know what I am doing wro...

Hi folks, I was trying to get a bezier surface rendered but I am in need of extra documentation or help. Since I use the gum matrix function and render functions I also wanted to use the gum version of the bezier function. here is what I have: int GraphicsObject::RenderExampleBezier&...

Hi

that tutorial is really nice !! Can I use this information on my site? (to help others)
So basicly what you say is you can only run this in higher firmwares, so for game releases there should be a 1.50 release and a 3.x release right?

So it should be made a fw 2.0 app and it need to be build as a prx?
are there other differences ?

Hi folks, I have created some code and some games for the 1.5 firmwares, that code just works fine onwards to the OE versions (tested up to 3.02 OE) however code that works fine does not work correctly anymore on m33, since I do not want to upgrade to that firmware I am stuck with this problem. Can ...

Okay I solved the problem however in a very strange way (to me). here is what was the trouble: 1: If you use this code: sceGumMatrixMode(GU_MODEL); sceGumLoadIdentity(); sceGumRotateY(rot); You also have to have a variable: ScePspFMatrix4 world; Why is...

so using: sceGumMatrixMode(GU_VIEW); sceGumLoadIdentity(); does not work ? It should store the view matrix in memory and then make it an Identity, also my own code (which also does not work) just sets all the parts of the matrix to identity so it is always made to an ...

Hmmm well I also use now my usual matrix functions but they also do not work :s maybe it has something to do with my graphics initialization: bool GraphicsObject::Init3DGraphics(void) { // Initialize the GraphicalSystem sceGuInit(); sceGuStart...

Well I create the projection matrix as I have specified in the first post, didn't include it in the last post because i did not change it.

So I do an identity and then a sceGumPerspective, i do it only once in the load function.

hmmm k well that also did not the trick too bad but I have learned something extra about the functions :) It does not render the triangle :( this is what i have now: (maybe I forgot something ?) #include "Triangle.h" #include <pspgu.h> #include <pspgum.h> #include "stdio.h" #incl...

hmmm thanks I did not know that. however now I get this error:

/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/lib/libpspgum.a(sceGumUpdateMatrix.o): In function `sceGumUpdateMatrix':
/tmp/pspdev/pspsdk/src/gum/pspgum.c:572: undefined reference to `sceGuSetMatrix'

looks like something is wrong in the pspgum files ?

Hi folks, I have made some stuff with using my own matrices. Now I want to create the same things only with the sceGum matrix functions. So i thought i will make a small example of it but I just can't seem to get it to work :s It renders nothing (what I can see on the screen) hope that you guys can ...

@taco: Yes i think I am pretty much scr&$%wed, I guess the problem is that the sprite function does something with my view info when using sprites, because otherwise how does the triangle knows what way to face, the reason I guess my trianglestrip works is because I can set the other vertices al...

back again after quite a while :)

The buffering is working correctly and without any problems :D

The one big problem is that it is quite slow :(

Now I heard something about using the ME ? is there any progress made on this? example codes or something like that available ?

greets ghoti

@tacoSunday: Well first what did the trick, first I discovered that the position used the previous model matrix so when I use an identity matrix for the particles the were exactly on the place I wanted them. There was only one problem left, The camera matrix was the same all the time. This was actua...

Hi, IT WORKS !!!! the particles are now always facing the camera :) whiehieeee!!! thank you guys for your help Vincent_M: Yes I have set the projection now with the loading of the level and that works so that is some speed increase :D thanks for that. I'll look into the other optimizations also, tha...

@tacoSunday: sprites work now also but very incorrect, I see color but that is everything. You said that the trianglestrip need to be called every time but when I do not i get this behaviour (with depth writing on): http://www.ghoti.nl/test/scshot.jpg It looks as if the quads are rendered without a ...

thanks !!

Hi folks,

can you disable the depth write, i want to enable the test but disable the write, is this posible ?

Hiya, @tacoSunday: I have tried to alter the camera to the code you provided but It is no use :(, When I change it the camera functions no longer how it should. It does not follow the player anymore. HEY i found something out... If I use 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f as the base position for the particlesystem t...

Yess i know I now also do i-- so that it takes the new value at that point also but thanks for noticing, if you see anything else please let me know.
