Max2D

[BLaBZ]

Still a bit new to the LE so just asking some questions, is it possible to use BMax's drawing commands? and use Blend Modes such as ALPHABLEND?!

[Canardia]

You can use DrawLine() and SetBlend(BLEND_ALPHA).

This has been a bit frustrating, I'm trying to use BlitzMAX's brl.max2d drawing commands but unfortunately it interferes with LE gl operations, I've tried setting changing the graphics driver, I was attempting to convert the c++ leglBegin() and leglEnd() functions to Blitz when I realized that Blitz doesn't have a "GetCameraRange" function.

 

Has anybody been able to get Blitz's Max2d module to work? Any suggestions?!

 

Thanks!

If BlitzMax does't have a certain official DLL function, it is found as a undocumented OOP style call. For example the GetCameraRange() function is called in BlitzMax: camera.nearrange and camera.farrange.

 

You should be able to do anything you need with OpenGL commands in BlitzMax, so you don't need any Max2D.

Max2d has a nice function set, makes things a lot easier, I'd rather use that then have to take the time to learn raw OpenGL, though I'd like to sometime,

You can't use Max2D with Leadwerks Engine. There's too much that interferes with it.
