Problem integrating SDL and CEGUI

Problem integrating SDL and CEGUI

Postby redsoxfantom » Tue Sep 18, 2012 22:16

Hello all,

I'm having a bit of a problem following along with the basic tutorial for running CEGUI within SDL (http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/ ... and_OpenGL)

I have gotten CEGUI to initialize successfully, but now i'm having a problem creating a scheme. Here is the function that is causing problems:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::WindowManager & init_CEGUI(SDL_Surface & screen)
{
   CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::bootstrapSystem();
   //CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer &renderer = CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::create();
   //CEGUI::System::create(renderer);

   set_CEGUI_paths();

   CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().create("TaharezLook.scheme");

   CEGUI::System::getSingleton().setDefaultMouseCursor("TaharezLook","MouseArrow");

   return CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton();
}


and it is crashing on this line:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().create("TaharezLook.scheme");

with a CEGUI::InvalidRequestException.

however, when i comment that line out, it then crashes on this line:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::System::getSingleton().setDefaultMouseCursor("TaharezLook","MouseArrow");

with a CEGUI::UnknownObjectException.

I suspect the issue is in the set_CEGUI_paths() function is is as follows:

Code: Select all

void set_CEGUI_paths()
{
   CEGUI::DefaultResourceProvider * defaultResProvider = static_cast<CEGUI::DefaultResourceProvider*>(CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getResourceProvider());
   defaultResProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("schemes","C:\\Users\\redsoxfantom\\Downloads\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\datafiles\\schemes\\");
   defaultResProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("imagesets","C:\\Users\\redsoxfantom\\Downloads\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\datafiles\\imagesets\\");
   defaultResProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("fonts","C:\\Users\\redsoxfantom\\Downloads\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\datafiles\\fonts\\");
   defaultResProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("layouts","C:\\Users\\redsoxfantom\\Downloads\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\datafiles\\layouts\\");
   defaultResProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("looknfeels","C:\\Users\\redsoxfantom\\Downloads\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\datafiles\\looknfeels\\");
   defaultResProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("lua_scripts","C:\\Users\\redsoxfantom\\Downloads\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\datafiles\\lua_scripts\\");
   defaultResProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("schemas","C:\\Users\\redsoxfantom\\Downloads\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\datafiles\\schemas\\");
   defaultResProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("animations","C:\\Users\\redsoxfantom\\Downloads\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\CEGUI-0.7.7\\datafiles\\animations\\");
   
   CEGUI::XMLParser *parser = CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getXMLParser();
   if(parser->isPropertyPresent("SchemaDefaultResourceGroup"))
      parser->setProperty("SchemaDefaultResourceGroup","schemas");
}


Since I am running my code on a Windows machine, and not a Linux machine, I changed the slashes so that it would find the correct files. As a test, I changed them back but the same errors occurred.

Also, here is the contents of my cegui.log:

Re: Problem integrating SDL and CEGUI

I haven't used version 0.7 but from what I see on the wiki sample, as well as the code for the CEGUI samples here, you've forgotten the following code near the end of set_CEGUI_paths():

Code: Select all

   // Sets the default resource groups to be used:
   CEGUI::Imageset::setDefaultResourceGroup( "imagesets" ) ;
   CEGUI::Font::setDefaultResourceGroup( "fonts" ) ;
   CEGUI::Scheme::setDefaultResourceGroup( "schemes" ) ;
   CEGUI::WidgetLookManager::setDefaultResourceGroup( "looknfeels" ) ;
   CEGUI::WindowManager::setDefaultResourceGroup( "layouts" ) ;
   CEGUI::ScriptModule::setDefaultResourceGroup( "lua_scripts" ) ;
   CEGUI::AnimationManager::setDefaultResourceGroup( "animations" ) ;

   // You have this
   CEGUI::XMLParser *parser = CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getXMLParser();
   if(parser->isPropertyPresent("SchemaDefaultResourceGroup"))
      parser->setProperty("SchemaDefaultResourceGroup","schemas");


Btw, I think forward slashes (for the paths) will work on all systems.

Thanks a lot, pav, that helped me solve it.
I added that code, and it turns out I also had to add "CEGUIFalagardWRBase.dll" to the working directory. After that, it all compiles and runs perfectly. Thanks again!
