Logger ms_Singleton assertion fails

[ichijoji]

I'm having problems initializing cegui with ogre. My initialization code looks like this:

Code: Select all

guiRenderer = new CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer(window);
guiRenderer->setTargetRenderQueue( Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY, true );
guiRenderer->setTargetSceneManager(sceneManager);
guiSystem = new CEGUI::System(guiRenderer);
CEGUI::Logger::getSingleton().setLoggingLevel(CEGUI::Informative);
CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().loadScheme("TaharezLook.scheme"); //crashes here


But when it tries to load the scheme it crashes with this error:

Code: Select all

../../include/CEGUISingleton.h:79: static T& CEGUI::Singleton<T>::getSingleton() [with T = CEGUI::Logger]: Assertion `ms_Singleton' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)


Only the thing is, I know that the CEGUI::Logger singleton is there because the system is logging away happily before this error. The end of my CEGUI log looks like this:

Code: Select all

Could something be deleting the ms_Singleton pointer? Or could it be a problem with the schemeManager not looking at the same static object, or am I doing this completely wrong, or what? Any comments are appreciated.

The "traditional" approach is with this constructor:

mGUIRenderer = new CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer(mWindow, Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY, false, 3000, mSceneMgr);

What's this 3000 parameter and what's the impact of not specifying it?

Try with this code and see if your environment works (version of Ogre code and version of Cegui code).

I get the same error using that code. I'm starting to think this might be a complete version mismatch. I'm using Ogre 1.4.1 and CEGUI 0.5.0b. This is right, right?

If my test code does not work then you either have incompatible sources or incompatible resources. I recommend doing a full recompile of Ogre. There's also a stickied post on the Ogre forums about upgrading Ogre 1.2's Cegui with the latest version of Cegui. It's still worth a read with Ogre v1.4.

Hi guys,

the CEGUI Skin sleekspace is no more available for download (Error 404). Does anybody happen to have a copy of that skin? Could you post a link/send it to me please?

Thanks a lot!
