Image2Source

[sudi]

I felt like posting this pice of code. It conversts a image into a cpp so u can ship stuff like splash screens inside your source code without the need to put it into your media folder. That way noone can change that splashscreen.

Its pretty easy to use. Just compile this code drop your image onto the executeable and enter a name for it. The programm will generate a cpp with the specified name. Then include that cpp into your project. To load the texture just do:

Code: Select all

irr::video::ITexture* myCppTexture = LoadTexture_MyTexture(Device, "#myCppTexture");

The MyTexture after LoadTexture_ is the name u specified while converting the image. and the "#myCppTexture" is the name of the texture. It can be anything you want and doesn't have to be related to the original texturename at all. After loading once you can simply get the Texture like any other with:

Code: Select all

Device->getVideoDriver()->getTexture("#myCppTexture");

Code: Select all

#include <irrlicht.h>

int main(int argumentcount, char* arguments[])
{

    if (argumentcount < 2)
    {
        printf("No file specified\n");
        return 0;
    }
    irr::IrrlichtDevice* Device = irr::createDevice(irr::video::EDT_NULL);

    irr::video::IImage* texture = Device->getVideoDriver()->createImageFromFile(arguments[1]);

    if (!texture)
    {
        printf("Couldn't open file\n");
        return 0;
    }

    char buffer[255];
    printf("Enter Name for the header/source: ");
    int scanf_return = scanf("%s", buffer);
    if (scanf_return < 0)
    {
        printf("Couldn't parse Filename\n");
        texture->drop();
        Device->closeDevice();
        Device->drop();
        return 0;
    }
    irr::core::stringc name = buffer;
    irr::core::stringc filename = buffer;
    filename.append(".cpp");
    FILE* datei = fopen(filename.c_str(), "w+");
    if (datei)
    {
        fprintf(datei, "#include <irrlicht.h>\n");
        ///write data
        fprintf(datei, "unsigned char %s[] =\n{\n\t", name.c_str());
        int counter = 0;
        unsigned char* data = (unsigned char*)texture->lock();
        for (unsigned int i=0;i<texture->getDimension().Width*texture->getDimension().Height;++i)
        {
            if (i!=0)
                fprintf(datei, ", 0x%x", data[i]);
            else

                fprintf(datei, "0x%x", data[i]);
            counter++;
            if (counter >= 6)
            {
                counter = 0;
                fprintf(datei, "\n\t");
            }
        }
        texture->unlock();
        fprintf(datei, "}\n");

        ///write loading function
        fprintf(datei, "irr::video::ITexture* LoadTexture_%s(irr::IrrlichtDevice* MyDevice, const irr::c8* name)\n", name.c_str());
        fprintf(datei, "{\n");
        fprintf(datei, "\tirr::video::IImage* img = MyDevice->getVideoDriver()->createImageFromData(irr::video::ECF_R8G8B8, irr::core::dimension2d<irr::u32>(%i,%i), &%s[0], true, false);\n", texture->getDimension().Width, texture->getDimension().Height, name.c_str());
        fprintf(datei, "\tirr::video::ITexture* tex = MyDevice->getVideoDriver()->addTexture(name, img);\n");
        fprintf(datei, "\timg->drop();\n");
        fprintf(datei, "\treturn tex;\n");
        fprintf(datei, "}\n");
        fclose(datei);

        printf("Finished writing File!\n");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("Can't open file for writing");
    }

    texture->drop();
    Device->closeDevice();
    Device->drop();

    return 0;
}

Looks useful. I`ll try it. Thanks.

thanks, it works, but only if you change line 43 to

Code: Select all

for (unsigned int i=0;i<texture->getDimension().Width*texture->getDimension().Height*texture->getBytesPerPixel();++i)
