[Guest]

Is there anyone who knows how to make a loading screen like.. currently my game runs ok.. but the loading takes a loonng time

I draw an image that says "loading", while my game is loading the map and models.Is that what you want?

You can look inte the 2D graphics tutorial on how to display 2D images.

The TechDemo has a loading screen.

My game Supa G has splash screens and a loading screen. Just follow the link below and then go to the downloads page. BTW, The older v0.3.6 source may be easier for you to follow than the newer v0.3.8 source.

Code: Select all

loadingScreen(irr::s32 percent) {
	
	static irr::video::ITexture * loadbar = NULL;
	if(!loadbar) loadbar =  m_driver->getTexture("data/progressbar.BMP");

	m_driver->beginScene(true, false, irr::video::SColor(0,0,0,0));

	irr::gui::IGUIFont* font = m_env->getBuildInFont();

	font->draw(L"LOADING", irr::core::rect<irr::s32>(50, 100, 50 + 200, 150), irr::video::SColor(255,255,255,255)); 

	irr::core::rect< irr::s32 > clip(50, 50, 50 + (256 * percent/100) , 50 + 32);

       if(loadbar) m_driver->draw2DImage(loadbar, 
        irr::core::position2d< irr::s32 >(50,50), 
        irr::core::rect< irr::s32 >(0,0,256,32),
        &clip,
        irr::video::SColor(255, 255, 255, 255),
        false
        );

    m_driver->endScene();

}

in the part of your code that loads stuff, simply call loadingscreen(somenumber) where somenumber is how far you've finished loading.

ie:

initialize() {

loadingscreen(0);
//load some images;
loadingscreen(10);
//load a model
loadingscreen(30);
//load a bsp level
loadingscreen(55);
//load some random other stuff
loadingscreen(70);
//initialize some final stuff
loadingscreen(85);
//pretty much done now
loadingscreen(100);
}

this will send updates to the screen with the loading bar being more and more complete. you can use my loading bar if you want:
