Hello people.

I had a conversation in the last days with Jesse, via email, regarding M3D's source code.

The main issue about publishing it, was the use of some general Delphi packages for image storage formats (png,gif,bmp), and other non-fractal related things.
He wasn't totally sure about the rights of this modules. I helped him and we checked that all this little tools are for free use, or with the right licences (and most of them have 10+ yrs old).

That was all the mistery, and now is solved, so we have the authorization for making it public.

Link to the git-repository: http://github.com/thargor6/mb3d

I highly support Andreas (thargor6) as the project leader in the official Mandelbulb3D's further development project.
He's an experienced programmer, his JWildFire is another great fractal program with a very nice GUI, and also he has a vast experience programming Delphi.

However, this is a very difficult task and I think that any help would be much appreciated.

I'm glad that anyone is now able to help and play with Jesse's code, as I think it's the spirit of this forum.
This worked so far if we look back at the results of our collaborative works through the last years.

As always, many thanks to Jesse for all!!!

Quote from: Jesse
"Nearly all of the knowledge i became by all the engaged people that are or were active on fractal forums at the time of the search for the true 3d fractal.
Their gave their knowledge for free and i made the program for free, no more no less."

Cheers  A Beer Cup

So which is the best or minimum version required to compile it?

Hi all,
the source-code is now available at GitHub: https://github.com/thargor6/mb3d and any contribution is welcome :-)

I'm not sure really what is the actual minimum version to compile, I'm currently using Delphi XE6 and it works fine, I also tried Delphi 7 which did not work.

Best regards,
Andreas

Tried compiling source from Github, using XE 7, first problem (can't get past) in TypeDefinitions;

OFF_fHln = OFF_fHln_V18;  //  OFF_fHln_V18   value no where to be found
OFF_pInitialization = OFF_pInitialization_old;  //  OFF_pInitialization_old  same problem
OLD_FORMULA_COUNT //  same

are these in a file that was not included?

grepping the root part of OFF_fHln_V18 and OFF_pInitialization

shows...

Calc.pas:    fHln:             array[0..5] of Single;  //esi+164
Calc.pas:    pInitialization:  array[0..5] of TFormulaInitialization;
(and a few other files)

I haven't had time to study the source (and learn a new language) but these items with prefix "OFF_" aren't in any of the .pas or other files,
could it be a compiler directive representing an OFF_set if it compiles with XE6 but not XE7 ?

edit: try looking up required code modifications between compiler versions

Definitely need a quick guide on how to compile and some notes.  But then it could be a test to weed out n00bs!!
