Instead of implementing D3DXCreateMeshFVF, wouldn't it be better to implement D3DXCreateMesh and call the latter from D3DXCreateMeshFVF by previously using D3DXDeclaratorFromFVF?
D3DXCreateMeshFVF would be pretty straight then:
- get the const LPD3DVERTEXELEMENT9 *pDeclaration from the supplied FVF
- call D3DXCreateMesh
BTW, D3DXGetFVFVertexSize could then also be forwarded to D3DXGetDeclVertexSize and the code simplified.
Thank you
Thank you. Yes indeed this is the approach that has been recommended by Henri Verbeet as well.
Specifically, after the D3DXCreateSphere patch (in some form) is applied to git: http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=29947
You can see two patches for tests here: http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=29948 http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=29949
The only caveat is that we must first implement D3DXFVFFromDeclarator at the very least, as the CreateIndexBuffer call must be (to my understanding) supplied an FVF.
Thank you Misha
Fyi, I am currently taking a break from working on these patches as I feel like it may take some more time to get the D3DXCreateSphere tests into git given that it has been through so many tries.
However, I hope that once this hurdle has passed I can once again continue to work on these implementations at full speed.
Thank you Misha
