I was compiling code from a tutorial, when this line produced an error:
According to my header files, Begin() has no parameters it's declared as Begin(void);Code:mysprite->Begin(D3DXSPRITE_ALPHABLEND);
Also, D3DXSPRITE_ALPHABLEND isn't in the headers either. The headers I'm using are from the official 9.0 SDK! Anyway, is there an alternative to this, or a way to get this supported?
That was changed either between 8 and 9 or 9 and 9c. Make sure your docs are the same version as the SDK you are building with.
I found it (both Begin with a parameter, and D3DXSPRITE_ALPHABLEND) in d3dx9core.h.
I ran into this same thing with the same function when I switched versions. The docs I had did not match the libraries I was linking with.
I went to look at msdn's directx sdk update and it's huge. I can't download that with dial-up (not to mention that the stupid Genuine Windows Check garbage doesn't work and reports a bug when run on my xp or 2000 system) But I also see that if you RAR all the lib and header files, they barely break 5 megs.
I was wondering if someone would be willing to do that for me and put in on a site for me to download or somthing. I know it's a little more than usual to ask for, but it'd be really great.
Hmm. I've never had any issues with this.not to mention that the stupid Genuine Windows Check garbage doesn't work and reports a bug when run on my xp or 2000 system)
