Multiple GUI renderers, possible?

[Protagonist]

Hi there,

I'm using CEGUI with Ogre Eihort, and have created two viewports. The thing is, I don't want my CEGUI widgets to render to both, but I need both viewports to use CEGUI.

So I tried creating two GUI renderers.

I create my first like so:

Code: Select all

   ///////Setup GUI system
    mGUIRenderer = new CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer(window, Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY, false, 3000, sceneMgr); //111
    mGUISystem = new CEGUI::System(mGUIRenderer);
   CEGUI::Logger::getSingleton().setLoggingLevel(CEGUI::Informative);
   CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().loadScheme((CEGUI::utf8*)"WindowsLook.scheme"); //TaharezLookSkin.scheme,WindowsLookSkin.scheme
   mGUISystem->setDefaultMouseCursor((CEGUI::utf8*)"WindowsLook", (CEGUI::utf8*)"MouseArrow"); //set the mouse cursor
   //show the mouse cursor (by setting mouse cursor image to default defined above
   CEGUI::MouseCursor::getSingleton().setImage(CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultMouseCursor());

Then say if I try

Code: Select all

CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer* secondGUIRenderer;
CEGUI::System* secondGUISystem;
CEGUI::Window* secondGUISheet;

    secondGUIRenderer = new CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer(window, Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY, false, 3000, sceneMgr);
    secondGUISystem = new CEGUI::System(mGUIRenderer);

I get an ascertion failure from the last line

Code: Select all

secondGUISystem = new CEGUI::System(mGUIRenderer);

This makes me think that I can't have two renderers?
I was wondering if it is infact possible, and if so, how?

I really need to get this working.

Any help would be appreciated so much. Thanks

Hi,

the short answer is that you cannot have to renderers. However Drumicube changed the openGL renderer in order to get the imageset editor work better. This is the thread-page where he first mentions dual rendering:

You might have a look at the sources which are also posted here and there in his messages.

HTH!
