Logging Stride Numbers

How do I log them for players, etc?

Code:

//declares
unsigned int m_Stride;
static int stride=0;
int temp = 0;
int temp2 = 0;
int temp3 = 0;

//in DrawIndexedPrimitive
    if(NumVertices == temp){
    m_pD3Ddev->SetTexture(0,texPink);
    return m_pD3Ddev->DrawIndexedPrimitive(Type, BaseVertexIndex, MinVertexIndex, NumVertices, startIndex, primCount);
    }

    if(primCount == temp3){
    m_pD3Ddev->SetTexture(0,texOrange);
    return m_pD3Ddev->DrawIndexedPrimitive(Type, BaseVertexIndex, MinVertexIndex, NumVertices, startIndex, primCount);
    }

//in Present
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_ADD))temp++;
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_SUBTRACT))temp--;
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD9)<0)temp2++;
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD6)<0)temp2--;
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD8)<0)temp3++;
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD5)<0)temp3--;

    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_MULTIPLY)&1){
    add_log("NumVert: %d",temp);
    add_log("m_Stride: %d",temp2);
    add_log("primCount: %d", temp3);
    }
    
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DIVIDE)&1){
    temp=0;
    temp2=0;
    temp3=0;
    }


//in SetRenderState
    if (temp2 != 0 && m_Stride == temp2){
    m_pD3Ddev->SetTexture(0,texGreen);
    }


//in SetStreamSource
 if(StreamNumber==0) m_Stride=Stride;

Worst method ever tho

It really is. I did something like that once for AVA. It works okay if you only have one model, but when a character is composed of a bunch of different models, its a PITA, unless you want to find and log each individual one.

A much cooler method I saw on GD is to get CRC of each Model And then log all the models based on the crc's and color in all models programmatically according to that. Then you take a screenshot or something and load it up in PS or something and you can point and click and find each model by using the color finder tool and comparing the value's with the crc logged model's color values.

It was damn nice, I will definitely try that myself one day.

Yep, saw that one too. I personally prefer using min/cur/max and cutting them in half(max becomes cur, cur becomes max+min /2 etc)
Can get any stride between 1 and 10k in 14 steps.

Yeh I know you showed me it once. Here we go: http://www.mpgh.net/forum/31-c-c-pro...nt-logger.html

Anthony that should help you. Also I don't think you'll ever see a stride bigger then 100, really even 50 is pushing it. I cant imagine why you would have a vertex structure that big.

Try to color everything in a range, if ur logger is single stepping each and every value.

I got a model logger, and im going to start off small with Halo Combat Evolved.
My issue is that there is:
Stride:
StartIndex:
NumVerts:
PrimCount:

To get the number, so I can use chams for Halo, would I need to use a combination, or a single one?

I used a single one and went up to the number 300 in stride, then I reset stride and tried it with every other one, but nothing...

Any help with my last post?

I compiled it and it logs, but how do I use it?

Based on what I read, do you just turn it on with NUMPAD 1, then hold 4,5, or 6?

You would know if you had coded it instead of doing what you just did

If you ever want to try that method I have snippets/logs/notes and stuff on my Dev PC, Just tell me and I'll send that to you once I get back home :3.

Wait which one? I think I understand HD's method. essentially he colors half the models red, and the other half blue, then he pick which color has the model he wants, and keeps repeating and the last one left should be green!

But yes I would very excited to see another way of doing it.
