Slight problem though. When running the BumpMap demo from acnex, it comes up with an error:

Whats wrong with it?

there's a bumpmap demo... from acknex ?????

hey... where is it...

i always miss the good stuff...


--Mike

you should add " var d3d_automaterial = 0; " on top....

I tried that...if i take away the d3d_automaterial = 0 then it works...but with no bump maps

Hi!

You not need to declare the variable var d3d_automaterial, seen that is the professional release of 3dgs, like also in the commercial release, the variable is already in the engine! must be written in the function main!: -->


The main() function is started at game start
function main()
{
// set some common flags and variables
// warn_level = 2; // announce bad texture sizes and bad wdl code
tex_share = on; // map entities share their textures
d3d_automaterial = on; // here is your variable d3d!!


Greetings

Still same thing though

I tried the d3d = 1 and = on and it is still doing the same thing

at the begining of your code, outside of any function, just put this line:
var d3d_automaterial = 1;

if you set it to greater than 0 it's on, 0 means its off.
if this doesnt work, its because you are using the wrong version of gamestudio.

Sorry....im using 6.21. The d3d_auto is for 6.3/dx9 is it not? I thought 6 in general had dx9 support. Its ok, cause I wanted it for dx8 anyway...Is there anyway to use bumpmapping on 6.21 using dx8?
