CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Thanks for the support Eddie. Well, the fourth screenie still showed a small overlapping between a few glyphs. That's fixed now in 1.1. That's about it for now, the plugin should now be in workable condition. There are a few ideas of improvements in the issue list on BitBucket, I'll implement them w...

Meh, I bit the bullet and have rewritten the Font Studio's CEGUI exporter.

EDIT: New version is out: Release notes 1.2: - Fixed glyphs in certain larger fonts with a large border sometimes overlap - Plugin now exports .imageset file too Download Zadirion's CEGUI Font Exporter for Font Studio v1.2 ===================== I bit the bullet and have ported the delphi plugin into...

Anyone any thoughts on this?

Ok i've debugged cegui to see what's happening. The issue is not with CEGUI, I used Font studio to generate end export the font to cegui format. Apparently it writes a bad HorzAdvance attribute for the glyphs in the `.font` file. I think CEED ignored this attribute and used the code PixMapfont::Defi...

Ok I have upgraded my project to use CEGUI 0.7.9 however the overlapping font glyph issue still persists.
Is there any way to get pixmap fonts to work properly?

Thanks

Hi there, After some more investigation, I kinda figured it out. In CEED, I needed to also add a font entry in the scheme to get the font to load. Once that was done, an error appeared mentioning it wasn't able to load the imageset due to its version being set to 'unknown'. That's because the old im...

Hi, Is this a known limitation? I'm trying to load a font in CEED: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <Font Name="Viga" Filename="Viga.imageset" Type="Pixmap" NativeHorzRes="800" NativeVertRes="600" AutoScaled="false"> <Mapping Codepoint=&quo...

Thanks, CE, the answer was staring me in the face.

Have a nice day!

So, the conclusion is that to use performPreRenderFunctions you need some way to activate appropriate render system settings from the Material. If this is possible, I think all will be well. If not, I think perhaps your existing solution may be the best that is possible given the current state of t...

Thanks CE for the clarifications.

I will investigate this when I get home, and will come back with a conclusion.
I hope this thread helps other CEGUI users, the library is definitely well-written and thought-through.

Hello CrazyEddie, Thank you for your comprehensive reply. I already figured out a 'sort of' a solution yesterday (after an entire weekend of head busting). It involved creating a class (FrameWindowWithMaterial) that derives from FrameWindow and implements selfDraw. In it, I call FrameWindow::selfDra...

Found out RenderEffect might be what I need.
Moved the discussion here, since this is more of a beginner's topic.

Now, I've done some research and from what I understand, RenderEffect is what I need to implement (using CEGUI 0.7.5) so that I can apply a shader to a CEGUI window. The RenderEffect interface documentation is pretty self explanatory, I know how to tie it to the rest of my code. What I do not know i...

Hello again. Unfortunately it appears I've hit a snag. I can't get the glass material to render: Ogre::MaterialManager & matMgr = Ogre::MaterialManager::getSingleton(); Ogre::MaterialPtr material = matMgr.getByName("Ogre/Compositor/GlassPass"); CEGUI::OgreRenderer & ogreRenderer = ...
