CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

CE,
There has been some discussion between the OGRE developers to whether it would be best to move the CEGUI OGRE renderer into the OGRE code base. This is mainly due to the fact that you need to compile OGRE and install, compile CEGUI and install and finally re-compile OGRE and install.

I just wanted to check to see if you had any objections to this.

No, I have no objections.

Are we talking about a copy of, or a total transplant? A total transplant would be easier to manage since otherwise we end up in a situation where we get two different versions of the same thing.

Also, would the time frame for this be for Ogre 1.0 / CEGUI 0.2.0, or are we talking about somewhere down the road?

CE.

I'm talking about a complete transplant since there's no point maintaining two copies of the same source. I'd like to do this before we release OGRE 1.0 so I was planning to do it on the weekend. How does this match up with your 0.2.0 release schedule?

Yep the weekend is fine.

I had intended releasing 0.2.0 at the weekend, but the basic idea is for this release to contain all changes needed to properly support Ogre 1.0; the work on the resource groups I did today and moving the renderer module over to the Ogre code base would both fit in this category - so the following weekend (~19th Feb) would do fine for the 0.2.0 release.

CE.

Ok the OGRE renderer has been removed on the release-0_2_0 branch.

CE: Do you want write access to the OGRE CEGUI renderer in OGRE CVS just in case you want to make changes?

That would be great, as it would save you guys a lot of messing around with patches and the like; although I can do that if needed

I'm all for this. ShortHike is currently in a limbo as I'm waiting for both 1.0.0 final and 0.2.0 to get released. Currently there isn't a working combination of OGRE 1.0.0 and CEGUI released, if you want to stay away from CVS. This should decouple the releases for both of them making it easier to stay updated on both.

Thanks guys for such a great project!

Edit: Actually, where can I find a version of the OgreGUIRenderer at the moment? I was unable to locate it in Ogre CVS?

CE, I'll get that setup tonight then. This will also give you read access to the rest of developer CVS so you won't have to wait for changes to propagate to anonymous.

Mistaril, its currently in Samples/Common/CEGUIRenderer.

No more changes are planned in the release-0_2_0 branch except updates to the auxiliary files and updating the OS X build. With any good fortune I should be able to get 0.2.0 out late this week, or more likely, at the weekend.

Just committed OS X changes on release-0_2_0 branch:

- added OpenGL renderer
- removed Ogre renderer
- added a couple of recently-added files to the project

CE, you have now got write access to Samples/Common/CEGUIRenderer.

Thanks

Cool. I'll get things underway for the 0.2.0 release packages tomorrow probably, and should be able to get them out for download by Friday.

CE.

Thanks guys! Great work as usual.

It's not showing up in either the Azathoth branch or HEAD. SF's viewcvs shows that they're in the Attic.

EDIT: Bah! I just noticed the v1-0 branch.
