Ok, I've attempted to post this question many times before, and lots of people have tried to help, but I still just cant get it. I've been using the library that comes with the book RTS game programming, and its worked fine, Untill I bought a new video card (GeForce 256). Now the picture is garbled and nothing works. Even the code from the book produces the same effect. -look at http://www.123.net/~sourmosh/Image2.gif to get an idea of whats wrong. Notice the text is fine, but all graphics are messed up. -You can get the library at http://www.123.net/~sourmosh/library.zip I dont know if I can do this, but I dont care. The author hasnt answered any of my emails. Unzip this to c:\library -You can get my (terrible) source code at http://www.123.net/~sourmosh/ssource.zip its really messy and ugly, I made it all in 2 days, but it worked on my old video card, and it doesnt anymore. This is just the game specific code, and all the drawing stuff is in the library.zip I hope someone can help me. I know this library is pretty stinky, but Im comfortable with it, and I've got a new game completey designed, the map editor done, and a few artists ready to go; I dont want to rewrite everything. But I will if I have to. Thank you Dave Edited by - ratman on 2/1/00 1:56:48 PM

I hav ea geforce and if u want me to test it sned me the binaries to magick_pt@geocities.com and I can see if the problem is with your board (maybe a corruption somewhere) also the links u provided dont work ! ohh dl NVidia drivers, creative drivers are buggy and slow !!

bye

The two .zip links work, I just tried them. copy and paste them. The image link doesnt work, it should be; http://www.123.net/~sourmosh/Image2.gif

you can download the executable in http://www.123.net/~sourmosh/ssource.zip

thanks
Dave

I think that the real problem is that the library is buggy. I remember that occuring with my old I740 card at certain resolutions using that code from that book. If I were you I would write my own library -- that one isn''t very good. There are some nice points, but overall it''s pretty ugly.
