Final3D SDL Engine 2007

[WILL]

Well not everyone has updated to Vista. (And some never will. ) I'm not sure if Delphi will compile for XP when on a Vista system, will it?

Lazarus will compile to exactly whatever system to tell it to. So long as you set it and it's supported. There is some issues compiling to Mac or Linux from Windows. But the other way around is quite easy I'm told. Laz is a VERY good solution if you wanted to go cross-platform. I'd recommend it.

[andygfx]

Hmm. I tried compile F3D under LAZARUS, but i have problem with SDLInput.pas then, graphics unit, JPEG too. Where i found a missing units?
Or exist place for sharing FPC units?

[WILL]

Under Lazarus you have to specify this in each Project file. Not a daunting task, but it involves a bit of setup for each new project.

Just go into Project -> Compiler Options...

And you will see in the first upper text field with the label 'Other Unit Files (-Fu)'. That is where you specify all of the folders with the units you need. The '...' buttons on the side will give you a new window which you can better add the paths you need.

Once this is done you just save it and this project will check those paths each time it compiles.

Some units also require that you put in the SDL\Pas\ path into the 'Include Files (-Fi)' field as well. This is due to some of the JEDI conventions with regards to .inc files.

and 0.17 crashes too ?

I'm talking about v0.17. That's the one that crashed.

So. I have recompiled version uder Delphi7 + WinXP SP2, and work cool. I think, tha problem is in a shaders, i now updating source to terminate app if one from needed extension is unsuported.

Reload last release, is updated on a server.

Yes this version behaves much nicer and correctly says that my graphics card does not support "GL_ARB_vertex_shader".

I noticed a bug that Delphi 6 does not allow in F3D_Shader_GLSL.pas...

procedure TF3D_PixelShader_GLSL.Uniform2f(Name: string; v0, v1: Single);
begin
glUniform2fARB(FindUniform(Name), v0, v1, );
end;

That last comma will not compile in D6, and I hope it does not compile in later compilers.

[WILL]

That line of code shouldn't work for ANY Pascal or Object Pascal compiler.

Q: Lazarus IDE + FPC is better solution?

I prefer this since I don't own Delphi :shock:.

EDIT:
BTW: When trying to run the exe files MSVCR71.DLL is missing. Maybe you should provide it with your distributions.

EDIT2: Ver. 0.17

Sorry but D7 vesion is actual now, second exe file is compiled on my home PC under Vista x64 and isn't actual (from yesterday ). I fix a problem with unsuported extension today.

If you now try download 0.17 all will be correct if you have good card.
