[Solved]Rendering (?) issues caused by datafiles

Postby AlanDa » Sun Jan 16, 2011 00:33

After switching from CEGUI 0.6.2 to 0.7.5 I run into some rendering issues which seems to be caused by some of the datafiles.

When using the 0.7.5 datafiles, creating a TaharezLook/FrameWindow will make my app going crazy (objects get transparent, background colors change etc.). When using the 0.6.2 datafiles I don't have such issues (just the window rollup feature isn't working. It's closing/hiding the window completly. But I guess that's caused by outdated datafiles).

It's also interesting that creating a label or static text on the root wnd won't cause any issue.

I'm using a D3D8 renderer but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Any hint would be much appreciated.

Edit:
Looks like it is the LookNFeel file. I'll see if I can find out more.

Greetings,
Alan

Got it.

It's the "new" property "AutoRenderingSurface".

I had to comment it out as setting it to false after creating the window wasn't helping.

Reading this thread I wonder was CE has changed to get it working? It would prolly also work with the D3D8 renderer.

Edit: I guess it was http://crayzedsgui.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... threv=2349
Doesn't seem to work @ D3D8.

We don't support DirectX8 renderer in 0.7 so I think it doesn't have RTT support implemented at all. That's why everything disappeared I guess. Disable AutoRenderingSurface and don't use Rotation property, I think everything will work fine.
