XNA Reach profile with VMWare - Vertex Buffers not working?
- by Nektarios
Running XNA app, using Reach profile, in VMWare Fusion host OS Mac OSX, VM is Windows XP SP 3 (my dual-boot OS). Running on MacBook Pro w/NVidia 320M graphics card
When I am booted in to XP natively, my code works. The code is drawing cubes that are set up using vertex buffers
When another friend runs this same code on Windows 7, it also works for him just fine
When I am running my code in the VM, it doesn't work. I have billboarding sprites running in a shader program and this part displays fine. I get no crashing or errors, the geometry just doesn't appear. I tried Debug and Release. This is very basic operation so I'm thinking VMWare isn't the problem, but it's my code....
My init code:
var vertexArray = verts.ToArray();
var indexArray = indices.ToArray();
indexBuffer = new IndexBuffer(GraphicsDevice, typeof(Int16), indexArray.Length, BufferUsage.WriteOnly);
indexBuffer.SetData(indexArray);
vertexBuffer = new VertexBuffer(GraphicsDevice, typeof(VertexPositionColor), vertexArray.Length,
BufferUsage.WriteOnly);
vertexBuffer.SetData(vertexArray);
My Draw code:
// problem isn't here, tried no cull
GraphicsDevice.RasterizerState = RasterizerState.CullClockwise;
GraphicsDevice.BlendState = BlendState.AlphaBlend;
GraphicsDevice.DepthStencilState = new DepthStencilState() { DepthBufferEnable = true };
// Update View and Projection
TileEffect.View = ((Game1)Game).Camera.View;
TileEffect.Projection = ((Game1)Game).Camera.Projection;
TileEffect.CurrentTechnique.Passes[0].Apply();
GraphicsDevice.SetVertexBuffer(vertexBuffer);
GraphicsDevice.Indices = indexBuffer;
GraphicsDevice.DrawIndexedPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, 0, indices.Count, 0, indices.Count / 3);
For LoadContent:
TileEffect = new BasicEffect(GraphicsDevice)
{
World = Matrix.Identity,
View = ((Game1)Game).Camera.View,
Projection = ((Game1)Game).Camera.Projection,
VertexColorEnabled = true
};
