Re: [Nel] about using of directx input 8

[Nicolas Vizerie]

Hello,

 

As a matter of fact, you need the DirectInput8 library to compile NeL on windows platforms, but you don't need the DLLs for the runtime. If a Direct Input dll is found it will be used (it is loaded by a LoadLibrary, instead of an implicit link) , but if not, the standard windows messages will be used instead. Anyway, direct input is not used in snowballs for now.

For now, we haven't considered another API because it is not our main focus at this time, but we may in the futur..

 

regards,

Subject: [Nel] about using of directx input 8

Hello ,

There a long time i dont take news about Nel , today i see that we need directx input version 8 to compile snowball or Nel ( see in INSTALL file ).

I wonder because using DirectX 8 seems that Snowball will never more play under WIN NT 4 because we cannot install directx 8 under WIN NT 4.

 

If  i make a mistake all honor for you but If i m right , i m sure there are other API like directx input and so multi  platform of code will be save.

 

A+
