I'm with lmame.
I'm happy to help out with adding functions for stuff on either side serve or client but I'm not really that good at graphical stuff.
Once we have a basic engine that runs as a client then we can start to develop all the little bits that go along with it.

There isn't really a lot that DX9 can't handle. and FYI the current rose engine uses something like DX3 and even then only a very small portion of it's capabilities :lol:

The TV files work fine with DX9 so if the engine is built with the SDK from them, there isn't a lot else needed. It already has built in lighting, shading, collisions, mouse/keyboard events, even a music engine.

I'm a complete noob at graphical coding and i managed to throw together a little landscape with a guy who walks around it using mouse clicks or key presses. Also has right mouse button dynamic camera angle (just like rose) and zoom on the mouse wheel.
This was all done in VB6.0 too. took about 3 hours.
I accidentally deleted the files when I was clearing out some folders :(
Never bothered remaking them again

It's really very easy to use the TV SDK.

Maybe a bit newer than DX3 then. that was just off the top of my head.
I have an old PC in my basement that has not been updated since 2004. I't is still running windows ME and it's DX version is currently 5.
Rose runs on that perfectly on that. I checked.

Most of the tools use 8 and the client uses 9.

did a little digging in the history books

It looks like directx 8 was released back in 2001 and 8.1 is the newest version available for Windows ME and NT
I know for a fact that rose runs under ME since I was using an ME system up till about 3 years ago to play it and it still works now with no discernible difference in graphical quality, so regardless of what version of DX it is built with, it appears that it is backward compatible to at least 8.1 (and DX5 since that is what my system currently has installed)
Seems a bit strange actually that my ME system has 5 when it seems like it should have 8.1

DirectX 9.0c is the last officially supported version for Windows XP and 2000. It remains an important part of Windows Vista and Windows 7 - which is why both of these newer operating systems have it installed.

Vista came with DX10 as standard but can support DX11

windows 7 comes with DX11 as standard

XP cannot handle either 10 or 11 although there are some unofficial "hacks" available out there
