New Release D3D9Client Development

Smasher77th · Jul 22, 2013

I'm having problems running my XR fleet, DGIV and the Arrow with the R20 and D3D9 R12 for beta. Anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks.

Here is my log:

Are you using Orbiter 2010 or the latest beta version of Orbiter?

Thanks for the info. It turns out I needed to rebuild the Orbiter-beta-compatible XR DLLs against the latest Orbiter SDK. More information and download links are in this post.

EDIT:
Although the new XR DLL versions fix the CTD with Orbiter.exe and D3D9 R10 in the latest Orbiter beta, it does still CTD on startup with D3D9 R12 in the Orbiter beta (Orbiter_ng.exe). The stacktrace shows it's down inside the D3D9 DLL somewhere.

Vostok - B3OP.dll - D3D9

Does anybody know why orbiter 2010 with the latest D3D9 client hangs up when activating the B3OP.dll modul which comes with the most excellent Vostok addon by igel? Does anybody else have this problem and are there any workarounds or solutions know to it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, I released this add-on yesterday :

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6239"]http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6239[/ame]

The mesh count between 99,000 and 100,000 faces.

Thanks to your client, this huge number of faces can be rendered. Whithout the client, the mesh is buggy. I tried with your client to make a mesh with up to 100,000 but the mesh appear buggy (it's like a web over the mesh, vertices are connected randomly).

My first question : is the 100,000 faces limit can be overrided without bug ?
I would like super-detailled meshes with 500,000 faces, this is why I ask that.

Few users of my add-on have a semi-transparent mesh like this :

To fix this "transparency problem" they found that is needed to grow the level of the planet in installing a texture add-on like this : [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5878"]http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5878[/ame].

Second question : Is this bug can be corrected ?

Thanks, I love D3D9 client !

That's not d3d9 bug but that's way how orbiter creates planets. This occurs both in inline client and d3d9 client. The higher level texture you have, the more spherical planet will be (more polys per planet).

There is no bug. The client is using 16bit index list limiting the maximum vertex count to 65536 vertices per a mesh group. If you want to create a larger mesh you need to split the mesh into a multiple mesh groups.

Just to say, I finally got around to doing an UMMU eva on the moon, and used the FPS limiter checkbox in the debug control window, and it works wonderfully. Thanks jarmonik so much for taking the time to include this feature. Awesome awesome stuff :thumbup:

Donamy · Aug 10, 2013

Does anyone know what's causing this ?

Cras · Aug 10, 2013

I can't say I have ever seen that before. It almost looks like a local light source that is a little out of control. I just did a flight to the moon in an XR-2 and the Earth looked like it should have as I flew away.

BruceJohnJennerLawso · Aug 10, 2013

Has anyone else noticed issues with planets reflecting incorrectly on their dark sides?

Im running Apollo 8 AMSO in D3D9, and every time the command module is orbiting the dark side of the moon, I can still see what appears to be a slice of the lunar surface while lit reflected in the command module shell. I'll post a screenshot when I get a chance.

Apollon · Aug 12, 2013

I've got an issue while using the function "pre-load at session start" for the surface texture load options, even though i have the level 14/11 earth textures, it still loads the default one (low res), but when i switch "load on demand" option it displays correctly. Any idea why? Did a clean installation with 100830 and R12 client, still nothing.

blixel · Aug 12, 2013

I have a question, but it very well may be a dumb one. If so, I apologize in advance.

With the D3D9Client, would it be possible to view the external camera on a second monitor? So on my main monitor I have the flight deck view with the MFD's, and on the second monitor I have the view as if I had pressed F1.

Or is that something that would have to be implemented in Orbiter itself?

Hmmm ... The closest thing to this is my attempt at adding spotlight to my Shuttle PB Mk2, resulting in lighting almost all the planet... But since I didn't released yet this version, this cannot be that (and I commented out the spotlight declaration part, so it definitely cannot be that)

I actually just did Apollo 8 AMSO the other day and I cannot say that I saw this happen...but it could just be me not noticing. When I run Apollo 10 I will keep an eye out for it, see what I see.

You may find useful my add-on, which allows you to run several Orbiter instances and automatically synchronizes state between them:

(works with any graphic client -- also, different instances can run different clients)

tinfoilchef · Aug 18, 2013

I've just updated from the R8 release to the R12 release of the D3D9 client and there's a feature that I'd like to turn off.

When using the flight recorder, during recording this appears on screen:

Then during playback the following appears:

http://imgur.com/ys8wxAJ

This did not happen with the R8 release of D3D9 and updating from R8 to R12 is the only change I've made in my Orbiter 2010 p1 install.

I'd like to be able to disable that feature so that the text is not there when I'm making videos with Orbiter.

edit: the images were not appearing so I removed the img tags and just left the raw urls there

This from orb:

...the simplest way is to use a hexadecimal editor with D3D9Client.dll, find "Replay" text, and replace the first letter of it with 0x00 character.

Same goes for the "Record" text.

Thanks for that! I've not used a hex editor in years so I'm off to find one

I believe I use XVI32. Any legitimate editor should be just as good of course.
