problem introducing CEGUI to an Ogre APP

[syngen101]

Hi,

I am having a problem adding a mouse cursor using the following code:

Code: Select all

    CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer* mGUIRenderer = new CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer(mWindow,Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY,false,3000,mSceneManager);
    CEGUI::System* mGUISystem = new CEGUI::System(mGUIRenderer);
    CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().loadScheme((CEGUI::utf8*)"TaharezLookSkin.scheme");
    mGUISystem->setDefaultMouseCursor((CEGUI::utf8*)"TaharezLook", (CEGUI::utf8*)"MouseArrow");
    CEGUI::MouseCursor::getSingleton().setImage(CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultMouseCursor());


When I run my application I am getting a runtime error:

Code: Select all

First-chance exception at 0x762b42eb in DemoForSkull.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: CEGUI::GenericException at memory location 0x001fd748..
Unhandled exception at 0x762b42eb in DemoForSkull.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: CEGUI::GenericException at memory location 0x001fd748..


I am adding this code in the 'main' file when i create the scene. Can someone please tell me what is causing this error. If you need to see more code please reply and ask for that.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

have you already disabled some lines? My guess is that names are not matching. Does the scheme inside the file TaharezLookSkin.scheme has its name attribute set to "TaharezLook"?

You might check the result of getDefaultMouseCursor() for Null first.

HTH.

Hi,

Yes the scheme file has its name attribute set to "TaharezLook", i have tried commenting out certain sections of the code to see what line it seems to be throwing the exception

Code: Select all

 CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer* mGUIRenderer = new CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer(mWindow,Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY,false,3000,mSceneManager);
    CEGUI::System* mGUISystem = new CEGUI::System(mGUIRenderer);
    //CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().loadScheme((CEGUI::utf8*)"TaharezLookSkin.scheme");
   // mGUISystem->setDefaultMouseCursor((CEGUI::utf8*)"TaharezLook", (CEGUI::utf8*)"MouseArrow");
    //CEGUI::MouseCursor::getSingleton().setImage(CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultMouseCursor());


This still throws the same exception, but when i comment out the second line:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer* mGUIRenderer = new CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer(mWindow,Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY,false,3000,mSceneManager);
    //CEGUI::System* mGUISystem = new CEGUI::System(mGUIRenderer);
    //CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().loadScheme((CEGUI::utf8*)"TaharezLookSkin.scheme");
   // mGUISystem->setDefaultMouseCursor((CEGUI::utf8*)"TaharezLook", (CEGUI::utf8*)"MouseArrow");
    //CEGUI::MouseCursor::getSingleton().setImage(CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultMouseCursor());


it gives me the following error in the command prompt window:

Code: Select all

Assertion failed: ms_Singleton, file f:\ogre_cvs_vc9\cegui-0.5\include\ceguisingleton.h, line 79
