Help with rectangular map needed

Do you mean that you don''t want to show the jagged edges of the tiles? Or do you mean that there are holes in your image?

I mean i don''t want to show the jagged edges of the tiles.

Can nobody help me?

Instead of starting your rendering loops at x=0 and y=0, start them at x= -(TileWidth/2) and y = -(TileHeight/2).

My tiles dont't take up the whole screen. They have to be a rectangle in my screen.

Hi Freaker13

Render the map in an Offscreen Surface like Alan said!
Blitting on the left and right side on more tile as the map should displayed to fill up the holes at the borders. Then blit the offscreen surface wich holding the map to the primary Surface.
The starting Left-Point of the rect is 1/2 Tile width and the right Point is 1/2 Tile width less than the Mapwidth which should displayed.

Look at my engine at:

Hi FGK,

I’ve seen your engine and i wish i was so far with mine engine.
It’s my first time working with offscreen surfaces and I don’t know how to do it exactly.

1.
a.create a new rendersurface with D3DXCreateRenderToSurface (or CreateRenderTarget?)
b.render map on rendertarget
c.And then move it with copyrects from rendertarget to backbuffer?

2.
a.create a new rendersurface with CreateTexture
b.render map on texture
b. blit this texture as usual on the backbuffer?

3.another method?

Thx in advance
