i'm trying to port whitecap but i failed. i'm totally new to vc++. maybe someone can help me whith it. a lot is the same as in g-force, they both have almost the same classes. i have some difficulties with v3, 3dmatrix, whitecapworld, etc, mainly the things which are different from g-force. maybe someone can help me through?

i get this errors:

z:\libwhitecap\common\math\v3.cpp warning c4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
z:\libwhitecap\common\math\v3.h error c2014: preprocessor command must start as first nonwhite space
z:\libwhitecap\common\math\r3matrix.cpp warning c4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
z:\libwhitecap\common\math\r3matrix.h error c2014: preprocessor command must start as first nonwhite space
z:\libwhitecap\common\math\plane.cpp warning c4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
z:\libwhitecap\common\math\plane.h warning c4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
z:\libwhitecap\common\math\v3.h error c2014: preprocessor command must start as first nonwhite space

this keeps on going.
i've looked at other files trying to find the issue but no clue. msvc++ does not index the so called 'types' in these files too.
any ideas?

thanks

arrggg!!

it's unbelievable but it had something to do with the fileformat! it was saved in mac ansi coding or something. i managed to fix it by open it in textpad and save the files in the right way. very frustrating as i've been trying for days.

not a dev myself but i remember questor/fused saying he had problems porting gforce with vc++, he had to upgrade to vs.net 7.1 (2003)

ok i managed to port it well enough to get a striped screen
it isn't working yet. is someone willing to look at the sourcecode here?

everything compiles fine but spectrumdata needs to be send instead of waveformdata. i realy do not have any idea how i should interpret that. whitecap differs from g-force as it creates worlds? i did the best i could. hopefully someone is willing to look at it and finds the clue.

my appreciations

thanks for your work so far. i hope someone will pick it up.
btw we still have the unfinished port of tripex. so if a d3d guru is out there willing to finish whitecap and/or tripex ...

hi zilvershadow,

i'm answering your questions here, so others can read it, too..

i've just finished porting a little game to the xbox, needs a little bit testing and it's ready, so perhaps i can give you some hints and look at your code.

something i've noticed with the g-force-source: it had some errors in it! off-by-one, errors in linedrawing and stuff like that...

another thing i've noticed looking at your code: you are developing directly for the media-center. that's fine, but it's much easier to first port it to the media-player, and afterwards converting it to a media-center-plugin (btw: i've done it with g-force, too ) the problem with media-center is: it uses it's own exception-handling, so a crashing plugin doesn't crash the whole system (if it's not running amok on memory)

perhaps i can look at the code on weekend, but i'll try it in the media-player, because it's much easier to debug.

btw: whats the big deal with fft? the specturm-analyser uses it, too....

fyi, by "media-player" questor/fused of course mean xboxmediaplayer (xbplayer on sourceforge), btw g-force xbmp code here (link)
ps! @zilvershadow and all devs, i took the liberty of mirroring zilvershadow initial whitecap port source here (link) and here (link)

okay, found one big bug. you never call pixport::init(..,..,8).
so you have no surfacebuffer set and get trash on the screen...
hope that helps you a little bit.

hehe, i totally looked over that. thanks, the viz is working now. i only have to fix some minor things. the spectrum doesnt come always through (it draws straight lines) and the blureffects don't seem to work. also some lines arent drawn.

i'm happy to see something moving on the screen  :kickass:
