[V19] Skillslot Dollar Symbol and Antialiasing Problem

[NickHough]

Hello,

I've noticed that when playing on my server that if i have Multisampling enabled the Gold Dollar Symbol on the action slot fails to render what i assume to be the backbuffer information (where it loads 2 merged images at a time).

However when not using Multisampling at all it works completely fine as intended.

Has anyone come across this problem before and found a fix for it? I have tried several things, including introducing a new backbuffer temporarily to handle just that one bit (no luck) as well as adjusting the Multisampling code, it seems that whenever you have a SampleType or SampleQuality it just fails to render the Dollar Symbol when you're waiting for a cooldown of the action slot.

For those wondering what my current MSAA code looks like (It is dynamic and applys the correct MSAA based on what your computer can handle as shown by the parameter MSQualityNumber)

 Spoiler

m_d3dpp.Flags = (D3DPRESENTFLAG_DISCARD_DEPTHSTENCIL)& D3DPRESENTFLAG_LOCKABLE_BACKBUFFER;
m_d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
m_d3dpp.MultiSampleType = D3DMULTISAMPLE_NONMASKABLE;
m_d3dpp.MultiSampleQuality = MSQualityNumber;
m_d3dsdBackBuffer.MultiSampleType = D3DMULTISAMPLE_NONMASKABLE;
m_d3dsdBackBuffer.MultiSampleQuality = MSQualityNumber;
m_d3dSettings.SetMultisampleType(D3DMULTISAMPLE_NO NMASKABLE);
m_d3dSettings.SetMultisampleQuality(MSQualityNumbe r);
m_d3dpp.PresentationInterval = 0;


hr = m_pD3D->CreateDevice( m_d3dSettings.AdapterOrdinal(), pDeviceInfo->DevType,
m_hWndFocus, behaviorFlags, &m_d3dpp,
&m_pd3dDevice);
m_pd3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_MULTISAMPLEANTIALIAS, TRUE);
m_pd3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, TRUE);
m_pd3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHAFUNC, D3DCMP_GREATEREQUAL);
m_pd3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHAREF, (DWORD)8);
m_pd3dDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHATESTENABLE, TRUE);

try adding the taskbar of the released source code v19 from Virtouse by yourself and then it should be solved.

I have looked at that source code for the taskbar system as i have with many others and they are quite similar to mine, but the problem is it works when there is no MSAA turned on (You activate the skill slot and the dollar symbol slowly loads back up from greyed out), but when you turn on MSAA it messes up and doesn't show either symbols.

whats your "load" function?

Assuming you mean for the textures it is these:

It is exactly as it shows in Virtous's source for v19 and still doesn't work with MSAA!

Sorry for pushing old threads, but I have the same issue.
Does someone know a workaround or fix?
