blitz3d interesting undocumented commands : lockedpixels - lockedformat - lockedpitch

[snoozy the snoozter]

i was just browsing the blitz3d command references until i stomped upon these three interesting commands (the title says the commands and i'm too lazy to re write bc yes)

when i pressed on them, they....don't lead to their page

idk what they do lol

i hope someone explains these commands or even document them!

Weird, when I go to a much older version of the Blitz3D documents these aren't mentioned at all.
And when I go to the official source code release, the commands are only mentioned on the help document from other pages but not the sidebar.

Build software better, together

GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

github.com

I guess it was just a mistake then?

That one actually has code tied to it! It looks like it's for enabling Joystick controls for the DirectInput API (the standard before XInput)

lol guess what, i found even more undocumented blitz3d commands

i found them in a blits3d fork called blitz3d tss, its in the modified command reference

for now, i found that : bufferdirty, directinputenabled and handle commands work in the official version of blitz3d

I wonder what bufferdirty does? Sounds like a weird command

here is what the commands reference in blitz3d tss says about it :
