How do you get the images, like in Dungeon Tech at such a good quality, I mean, even images that are power of 2 have bad quality for me... And I use .bmp also...

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 5:51 am

what do you use... GIMP, if so, what process do you go through to get such good quality images to show in irrlicht??? I loaded an image you used from dungeon tech in irrlicht and everything loaded fine. Good quality and everything, then I loaded a pic I did in gimp and saved it as a .bmp. Bad quality.... I didn't make any mistakes in the code I know for a fact its something about what you did to the image. HOW HOW HOW?

Excellent idea. But for some reason, I'm getting several gray box for graphics and a slew of warnings from VS 2005 (I'll only list some of them):

Code: Select all

Any idea? I'll try this with codeblocks using mingw compiler to see if it makes a difference.

Okay, just tried the same thing with codeblocks 1.0 RC 2 using gcc and got 2 error messages!

Code: Select all


GamePlayState.cpp: In member function `void CGamePlayState::displayIcons(CGameManager*)':
GamePlayState.cpp:252: error: invalid conversion from `int' to `const wchar_t*'
GamePlayState.cpp:252: error:   initializing argument 2 of `int swprintf(wchar_t*, const wchar_t*, ...)'
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 10 seconds)
2 errors, 15 warnings

@Guest
Im not too sure what is going wrong with your images as it seems you're doing thing correct programaticly if the 'Dungeon Tech' images displayed ok using your code.

Just make sure they are really to the power of 2, which you say they are. (ie 800x600 is bad, 1024x768 is bad, 512x512 is good etc...).
Btw I also use 'The Gimp' with default settings and just about any format without any problems. Sorry Im not that usefull

@jclins
At the moment it does produce warnings(although compiles OK), I will get those sorted for next release. The gray boxes are because for some reason it hasn't copied the media.zip into the project's 'media' folder. You can transfer that by hand if you like.

The compiler errors you have with Code::blocks can be corrected by removing the second parameter for swprintf:

from:

Code: Select all

   swprintf(m_tmp2, 9, L"%d", pManager->getPlayer()->getLives());

to:

Code: Select all

   swprintf(m_tmp2, L"%d", pManager->getPlayer()->getLives());

It's the buffer overflow protection, gcc/mingw does'nt have it, Microsoft does.

Hope this helps

area51 -- Thanks for the reply. I'll try again and post the result. Is there any way to setup a directory structure for the files produced by irrWizard? Instead of dumping all the .h and .cpp files into the based project folder, maybe sort them into sub-folders?

For someone new to using irrWizard, it can be a bit overwhelming to see all those files. Here's some suggestion for sub-folder names:

Top_Project_Level_Folder
---Core_Engine
---AI
---Audio
---GUI
---Input
...
main.cpp

Something like that, but I wouldn't go too deep with sub-folders within sub-folders. That could get annoying trying to navigate or just view the source code. Some of the above suggestion may overlap each other (I haven't looked at the irrWizard code long enough yet to lay out a sensible directory structure).

As far as media goes, I think putting the graphics and sounds into one large file makes everything load faster (I read somewhere that for small projects it's okay to have many files but for large ones it's better to have less) -- it looks like you've done that with "media.zip."

Anyway, great work. I did try the irrWizard demo out. It works great. I did notice some parts of the dungeon in the demo level had no collision detection. I fell through the floor several times.

Also, if you move against the wall, your pistol is clipped/goes right through the wall. Finally, the options menu when clicked on doesn't bring up an options screen.

This is an excellent tool. I used the Irrlicht ICE framework a while back (cica irrlicht 0.9 and older). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be updated anymore.

Adding folders as suggested is a very good idea. I think you're right as the code base has increased to a point where it would make things easier.

Thank you for your suggestions and taking time to examine the project.

hey area51.
I have been folowing your irrwizzard for quite some time, and may i finally say what a great job you have done, i am at the moment in the process of creating a RPG, and have done all basic setup, i have downloaded your RPG that you are making, and i am having trouble setting up the inventory, i have all states workn and it all shows up, but the trouble that i have is that I want the mouse not to affect the camera whilst the inventory is up, like have the mouse that can move around and stuff.
If you could plz teach me to how this can be done, i would be very thankfull.

thankz and keep up the good work.

LordNaikon · Post by **LordNaikon** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 6:17 pm

i havn't worked with irrlicht for a long time ... but you can try this .. i have found that function in the api documentation

Code: Select all

virtual void irr::scene::ICameraSceneNode::setInputReceiverEnabled  	(   	bool   	 enabled  	 )   	 [pure virtual]
  	

Disables or enables the camera to get key or mouse inputs.

If this is set to true, the camera will respond to key inputs otherwise not.

mayby you could set this to false when you open up the inventory.. i have't time to try this .. but i think this could be the solution.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 7:19 pm

...yes, that is a good solution.
Also you will have to keep track of the camera rotation, as when you leave mouse mode, the camera would have moved around, and therefore appear to jump.

Code: Select all

//! Toggles Mouse mode, enable the mouse cursor and disable camera
void CPlayState::ToggleMouseMode(CGameManager* pManager)
{
	if (m_bMouseMode) {
		m_CameraRotation = pManager->getSceneManager()->getActiveCamera()->getRotation();
		m_MouseOrigin = pManager->getDevice()->getCursorControl()->getPosition();
		pManager->getSceneManager()->getActiveCamera()->setInputReceiverEnabled(false);
      pManager->getDevice()->getCursorControl()->setVisible(true);
		m_bMouseMode = false;

	} else
	{
		pManager->getSceneManager()->getActiveCamera()->setInputReceiverEnabled(true);
		pManager->getDevice()->getCursorControl()->setPosition(m_MouseOrigin);
		pManager->getSceneManager()->getActiveCamera()->setRotation(m_CameraRotation);
      pManager->getDevice()->getCursorControl()->setVisible(false);
      m_bMouseMode = true;
	}
}
