.NET Headers

.NET Leadwerks wrapper on Google Code

 

This wrapper and its child projects are being developed and maintained by TylerH, ZioRed, klepto2 and myself. Enjoy Leadwerks for .NET!

[L B]

Initial release. Please post bugs and whatnot. This is not made for your game, as it is not dotfuscated. If you want to use it, dotfuscate the headers before using them. It is illegal not to do so.

Please refer to this thread now: http://leadwerks.com/werkspace/index.php?/topic/602-c-headers-mini-roadmap/

Not to rip on you, but people want C# Source Code. I don't want to be responsible for a 3rd party DLL.

 

Also, unless Josh has decided against it, you don't have to obfuscate your code. People can find their ways if they really want your code.

Once the source is complete I'll post it, although a DLL can be used with any .NET language and is easier to integrate.

If you don't obfuscate your code, this DLL gets distributed with your executable, and is just like giving away headers + engine.dll, which are the core of Leadwerks.

Hi Lazlo, great work on this .net wrapper.

 

I'm using it with vb.net, and custom buffer, with Tao OpenGl Framewerk.

 

So far, i can only change background color with "CameraClearColor(cam, c)".

 

Can't seem to get anything rendering yet, probably something i'm doing wrong.

[Rekindled Phoenix]

Thanks so much for releasing this. I'm going to try it out on my next build.

You should post a separate thread with source of your app so we can debug the error.

Ok i will, thank's, problem is, i have to use visual basic 2010 beta 2, or it doesn't seem to work at all.

Keep in mind, that you can do this anyway.

Every mid skilled programmer should be able to analyse the engine.dll and write a header themself because the original

dll is not obfuscated. dotfuscating is only useful if you have written complete own code and want to make reengineering

more difficult. Keep also in mind that dotfuscated assemblies are much harder to debug.

uninstall it ,lol, IT's still bugged.

really, i had a problem with vs c++ 2010 beta 1.

 

but i haven't noticed anything wrong with vb 2010 beta 2.

Oh boy, don't get me started on VS2010. I couldn't even write a hello world without my computer to display a blue screen of death.

Hi Lazlo,

 

Is it possible to get the source code for the wrapper instead of the DLL?

 

Thanks!

Hi Lazlo,

Thanks!

 

The source code for this wrapper will be released with the C# Framewerk. ETA? IDK.

I appreciate you releasing the source. I can't wait for the wrapped Framewerk

[Laurens]

Thanks a bunch, looking forward to it

i tried compiling with OpenTK 1.0 release and VS 2010 c# express release. the form example/control complain about unresolved referances with OpenTK. oh and i'm using LE 2.31 not the 2.32 beta version.

 

 

ok got the unresolved sorted out. the form example will run for me in VS 2010 c# express but won't run if i use Leadwerks_Forms_Test.exe outside of VS.

[enablerbr]

klepto2 i thought i would share my own usercontrol. it doesn't use OpenTK but is sort of based on the NeHe base c# code version of a control. maybe it might be of use to you.

TestWrapper3.rar

[ZeroByte]

Thank's klepto, i haven't tried it yet, the control should work with vb.net right ?

[ZeroByte]

Ok, i got the control in vb.net now with no errors, haven't coded anything yet though.

[klepto2]

@enablerbr: thx i will definatly look into this and add this. I have tried something similar bug gave up as i have seen the TAO and OpenTK Controls. But I think a native control may be the best solution to be independent from others.

 

I haven't tested it with the express editions yet but normally there should be no problem. Keep in mind to copy the needed dlls from leadwerks into the release folder if they are not automatically copied. Also you may test if the target platform is really X86 and not AnyCPU or X64.

 

@ZeroByte: Yes the control should work in vb.net as well (all .net languanges should be able to use it

 

@All: Keep in mind that this is still beta. I'm currently try to figure out how to use framewerk with the controls and some other stuff i have in mind. I'm also revisiting my own old (2.25 based) Wrapper which has a more bmx oriented Object Layout. (See Image below)

 

[ZeroByte]

Does anyone have an example of this control working in vb.net they could share ?

 

I'm not very familiar with c#, or this wrapper, still working stuff out.

[ZeroByte]

Ok, i got the control working in vb.net if anyone is interested.

 

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Express, it was just released. Link: http://www.microsoft.com/express/

 

Here is the code

 

Imports Leadwerks
Imports Leadwerks.Control

Public Class Form1

   Private buffer As Buffer

   Private groundmesh As Mesh

       Light.Range = 1000
       buffer = New Buffer(LetkControl1.Width, LetkControl1.Height, 7)
       body = body.CreateBox(1.0!, 1.0!, 1.0!)
       body.Mass = 1.0!
       body.Position = New Vector3(0, 4, 0)
       mesh = mesh.CreateCube
       mesh.Parent = Me.body
       body.SetKey("name", "body1")
       ground = body.CreateBox(10.0!, 0.1!, 10.0!)
       groundmesh = mesh.CreateCube
       'groundmesh.Scale = New Vector3(10.0!, 0.1!, 10.0!)  //It crashes on this line, so i can't scale ground yet.
       groundmesh.Parent = Me.ground
       ground.Position = New Vector3(0.0!, -1.0!, 0.0!)
       ground.SetKey("name", "ground")
       body.CollisionType = 1
       ground.CollisionType = 1
       Collisions.Set(1, 1, True)
       LetkControl1.Start()
   End Sub

   Private Sub LetkControl1_Redraw(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LetkControl1.Redraw
       Me.Text = Leadwerks.Timing.FPS.ToString
       World.Update(Core.AppSpeed)
       buffer.Current = buffer
       World.Render()
       buffer.Current = LetkControl1.Buffer
       Light.Render(buffer)
   End Sub

   Private Sub LetkControl1_Resize(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LetkControl1.Resize
       buffer = New Buffer(LetkControl1.Width, LetkControl1.Height, 7)
   End Sub

   Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
       LetkControl1.Stop()
       End
   End Sub

End Class

 

Hope this helps anyone using vb.net.

Hey thanks

 

This helps alot!
