When I try to run the exe, I get an error about a missing DLL - d3dx9_24.dll

The link about missing DLLs on the webpage is all in Russian and I've no clue what it says either!

same here. But looks great! Even though it might be a little costy as laser beams?

it is as costly as a particle system with 10-100 particles

which is to say it does not cost any more than drawing some billboards.. you can turn off the line drawing if that bothers you or set it to draw fewer or more lines..

When I search for - d3dx9_24.dll - on that dlldump site, it says it couldnt find it.

I have DX 9.0c

It appears those DLLs are specific to Delphi and C++ Builder, not VS.NET

It's a part from DirectX 9 SDK - not Delphy and CBuilder related

mohaps - very nice job. I will test your work when i will get home.

Yes they are. Direct X is having some restructurations and until ver 10 probably will be more incompatibilities. This dll is not linked any more in the exe. But in the old directx is not presend. I'm not sure that in the new relese it is, but in the directx sdk redistribution sure it is ...

Did they not supersede some of the stuff in the new release of 9.0c which now over rides all other functionality from the previous versions, therefore making the old functionality redundant?? I'm sure I read this somewhere just can't remember where it was or when I read it...

Sweet screen shots Mohaps, can't wait to have a play with the squiggle lines interface

Well, when I install DirectX, I remove the old version, before installing the new version. Version 9.0c does not have this DLL included with it. Maybe it's some old legacy DLL, and if it is, shouldn't be used anymore, IMO. Anyone know what specifically this DLL is for?

you need install DirectX 9.0c Redistributable for Software Developers(Feb 2005 Update) or SDK.
