TRON legacy

[Patrice Terrier]

TRON is a short GDImage project, animating multiple layers in composited mode.

I have also created a new WinLIFT's TRON theme to use with this project.

New 3D version

• With two visual plugins
• and two OGG audio files

...

[Petr Schreiber]

As usually,

very nice! The CPU usage is about 24% on Core 2 Duo T6600 and Windows 7 64bit.


Petr

[Patrice Terrier]

Petr,

Thank you!

I have added a new 3D version (i hope you will not encounter problems with the UAC).

The new Tron3D.zip file is attached to the first post of this thread.

Added:
Forget to say that you can use drag and drop to play a specific audio file.

...

[Petr Schreiber]

Hi Patrice,

no problems with UAC, and same CPU usage as in 2D version.

I think Daft Punk should hire you to create on stage visualisations for their live concerts, especially the visualisation for the second music is very nice


Petr

[Patrice Terrier]

Petr,

Thank you for the feedback  

Now that you have moved to 7, you can try by yourself the power of VISTA/SEVEN when working in composited mode.

DWM is realy a big step forward when you know how to master the beast.

...

[Patrice Terrier]

I have updated the 3D version with an extra animation.
(The motorcycle line is now moving from the right to the left side)

Note: Due to UAC you may not see the visual plugin the first time you fire the application.

...

[Patrice Terrier]

I think i have solved the UAC problem that could be encountered when runing Tron3D for the first time.

Using my own shell replacement as shown here:

Code Select Expand


FUNCTION MyShell(zCmd AS ASCIIZ, BYVAL ShowWind AS LONG, BYVAL TimeLimit AS LONG) AS DWORD

   LOCAL sif AS STARTUPINFO
   LOCAL pif AS PROCESS_INFORMATION
   LOCAL nRet AS LONG
   LOCAL zClass AS ASCIIZ * 16
   LOCAL hWndEx AS DWORD

   sif.cb = SIZEOF(sif)
   sif.dwFlags = %STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
   sif.wShowWindow = ShowWind

   nRet = CreateProcess("", zCmd, _
                                 BYVAL 0, BYVAL 0, %FALSE, %NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, _
                                 BYVAL 0, BYVAL 0, sif, pif)
   IF nRet THEN
      CALL WaitForInputIdle(pif.hProcess, %INFINITE)

      IF TimeLimit THEN
         zClass = "ZWALLPAPER"
         hWndEx = FindWindow(zClass, "")
         WHILE hWndEx = 0
             CALL WaitForSingleObject(pif.hProcess, TimeLimit)
             hWndEx = FindWindow(zClass, "")
         WEND
         CALL CloseHandle(pif.hProcess)
         CALL CloseHandle(pif.hThread)
      END IF
   END IF
   FUNCTION = hWndEx

END FUNCTION


Thus, the Tron3d.zip file attached to the first post of this thread has been updated.

...

[Patrice Terrier]

The first post of this thread has been updated, to fix the ZIP file corruption caused by the "Server Collapse".

...

[Patrice Terrier]

Challenging myself i have converted Tron3D to 64-bit.

I took this opportunity to rewrite the PowerBASIC code to match exactly the C++ one.
I also revisited the ZWP.bas bridge to use WM_COPYDATA to perform the intra process communication between 64 and 32-bit (rather than WM_SETTEXT).

Tron3D64.zip is the C++ 64-bit UNICODE version
Tron3D32.zip is the new PB 32-bit ANSI version

...

[Theo Gottwald]

How exactly doers this UAC Problem happen and why did you need this workaround?
What is exactly different with YOUR MyShell then with a normal "Shell"-Call ?

[Patrice Terrier]

UAC problem may occure when a shelled EXE is loading the extra DLLs (plugins) that are not used directly by the parent process. Usually this occures only the first time while the initial antivirus checking is performed.

However in the latest version i am not using anymore MyShell, but directly the flat API ShellExecute as a direct replacement for the PowerBASIC SHELL encapsulation statement.

Anyway, the best solution, when you download a ZIP for an external source is to unlock the ZIP file before unziping it.
Or to add the web site (you download from) to your trusted web site list.

...

[Patrice Terrier]

The other solution to avoid the UAC problem, is to add a manifest like this one

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
    <assemblyIdentity
        version="1.0.0.0"
        processorArchitecture="X86"
        name="www.zapsolution.com"
        type="win32" />
    <description>Manifest For ZAP</description>
    <dependency>
        <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity
                type="win32"
                name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
                version="6.0.0.0"
                processorArchitecture="X86"
                publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
                language="*" />
        </dependentAssembly>
    </dependency>
</assembly>     


This one must replace the default one used in the Visual Studio linker manifest option.
