question, I have 2 webcams on my laptop (1 built in and one external USB), the dll always priorotises the internal one over the USB, when I disable the built in on it show's nothing, I have all the drivers etc. I prefer the USB one because of:
a. how I have my laptop setup
b. its better quality than the built in one
so how do I tell it to use the USB one??

so how do I tell it to use the USB one??

i guess recalling the connect cam script.
that way it searches again for a webcam,
but i'm not sure...

Cool Now I can finally create some game that i wanted to created for a long time.
Just one thing, I want to capture a pic, and then go to another room. Problem: the webcam screen still shows up in the next room.

{
disconnect();
}


doesn't kill the webcam window, it just stops the 'recording'. How do I unload this DLL?

[broady08]

The only way i can think to destroy the black box left behind is to compile a game, that is just the webcam and use the embed DLL to embed the other exe into your window. Then your can just un-embed it later.

The file i downloaded also only has 5 functions, im not sure if thats all there is but im not sure how to use multiple webcams ??

GOOOODDD.Yesturday my dog played with the cable from my webcam so i can't use it because it's broke nowX(.Anyway i'm downloading this now and in 2-3 hours maybe i'm going to buy a new one..I definatly need to see this in action!!!Hope it;s a good one:))

Sorry for bumping this topic, but i have a problem.
When i use this, i can't see the other objects in the room!
I have put the depth of the webcam object to 1000, but i don't work!
Can anybody help me?

[Digitpix]

how does it handle problems?
i looked at var=init().
in my case init() returned 3, and the dll worked properly,
so if init returns 3 a webcam was found and defined properly?
if it returns 0, 1 or 2, what does that mean?
thanks in advance.

Can someone please help. This dll used to work with my webcams, but for some reason it stopped. All I get is a black screen. I think it has something to do with the fact that my camera's name was changed to Dual Camera #3, instead of just Dual Camera. Can someone please help me solve this problem?

fulscreen mode is disabled?

How about a cool motion trigger? Like if I wanted to check where the motion was x,y? http://gmc.yoyogames...fault/blink.gif

Could you add GMAPI to this to capture the frames to a surface instead? That way it would be MUCH faster than having to load the frames from bitmaps every frame.

Im trying to make an augmented reality game with this.

So far so good, and the test i did was to search for color and then say "i see the color: (color)."

this worked perfectly but when i try to use it for augmentation, the object doesn't appear but apparently its there. ( i use debug mode and entered the expression obj_player.x and it returned 172.) why isn't the player object appearing?

[joshsora]

Ok i fixed it, all i had to do was put :
createCam(0,0,1,1)

instead of:
createCam(0,0,room_width,room_height)


now i can start making an augmented reality game

Is there any way to save the captured frames as png files? Also, you need an option to access the camera properties because my camera can record at 640 by 480 but your program will only show 320 by 240. Even if I use createCam(0,0,640,480); The video will display at 640 by 480 but it is scaled up. It also does not work with some webcams such as the ps3 eye and the built in chicony webcam on my computer. I am using it with the namtai eye toy. And i think that the creator of this dll has stopped working on it. What a shame.
