A small walk inside my procedurally generated terrain. Rendered in OpenGL.
The terrain was created using multiple layers of perlin noise and applying hydraulic erosion on it.

Grass and flowers are rendered using billboards and instancing.

New Release: 
VERSION 1.1 @8.11.2022
Changes:

• Autodetect of all GLSL shader stages
• Support for HLSL added for files with *.<stage>.hlsl file extension on Vulkan 140. Requires a few manual settings since it only partially compares the extension. Did not figure out how …

You shouldn't have to set an FPS limit from an end-user or anything like that. I suggested Sleep(1) to see what it does temporarily, because that should drastically stall everything related to your program and the GPU not receiving work to do. There usually isn't any reason to render faster than 12…

@undefined Further reading has taught me that I copy the .h files into my project directory in most cases. 

Thanks so much for the assistance!

Thank you very much. It now works like a charm !

Hi, I have an old game source from 2004, the game runs DirectX9, and I want to improve the graphics.

I downloaded NVIDIA FX Composer 2.5, and I created a “Phong_bump_relect.fx”.

I want to add the effect to my terrain, is there any way ?

I tried like this, on the terrain render function:

	if (D3DXCreate…

@undefined can you give me the full code pls

I'm going to assume that you have at least 2019 16.3 or preferably the latest update. I would be surprised if your simple test script triggered a compiler error.

I have the latest version of the compiler

Visual Studio can be configured using any folder structure regardless how it looks like by adding all the files to the .vcproj file and in addition add a .vcproj.filter file. Here you can configure all your files to look nicely and even be addressed in “virtual folders”. We use this in our build to…

Hi.
I would like to share with you more details about the game and updated list of developers we are looking for!

We are looking for:

Access violation executing location 0x0000000000000000 is a null pointer access.

Without seeing any code it's hard to go forward. Can't you debug step into initializeContextFromD3D11Device?

Either Direct3D or Direct2D would be considered the “official” replacements depending on your goals. Unfortunately the GPU world has changed radically since DirectDraw was developed, so it no longer makes sense to keep updating it as a first-class API. However the old version definitely still works…

I have occasionally had this problem with Unity 2019.2 and VSC.  I have no idea what causes it but I found a workaround with rebooting, opening VSC with a Unity CS file, then starting Unity and opening the project from there.  

I wish I knew what caused it but at least it works, so I'll wait…

I can't reproduce that specific problem. And I don't know which changes you've made to your code now.
But as long as I open two browsers and have two players, the code is working on my end.
(However, if I just have one player some problems occur, but that might be something you're thinking abou…

Just a quick update on this.  I managed to solve the problem by providing the global delete overrides for the new "size" variants introduced in C++14...once I did that the problem disappeared.

However, despite the response I got from the compiler team, I'm not convinced this wasn't an error …

Hey

This is great!

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I have only made a small test, but this is really in line with what i want to do.

You are violating the one definition rule; with the resulting Undefined Behaviour anything can happen. You shouldn't rely on that always being the same.
