Cross-platform version

[mba]

Hi Dalfy

that is a really good question

so now I have checked out the correct branch , v-0-4-1, which should correspond to the cegui version I have installed.
I have previously installed wxWidgets 2.6.3 with opengl and unicode configured, as described in the wiki.
But there still seems to be some inconsistencies:

EditorDocument.cpp: I member function 'void
EditorDocument::SetBackgroundImage(const wxString&)':
EditorDocument.cpp:248: error: no matching function for call to `
CEGUI::ImagesetManager::createImagesetFromImageFile(const char[16], const
wxChar*)'
/usr/local/include/CEGUI/CEGUIImagesetManager.h:150: error: candidates are:
CEGUI::Imageset* CEGUI::ImagesetManager::createImagesetFromImageFile(const
CEGUI::String&, const CEGUI::String&, const CEGUI::String&)

any clues on why this happens?

kind regards
Martin

Mmm that's odd. Seems like i only fixed that for 0.5. Can you pass the second parameter to the createImageSet method within "StringHelper::ToCEGUIString()"? (Can't access SVN right now to copy/paste).

Good luck!

Hi Scriptkid

that did solve the issue replacing
filepath.c_str() with
StringHelper::ToCEGUIString(filepath)
in EditorDocument.cpp line 246
But now I'm having trouble with wxwidgets during the linking stage.
I have downloaded wxWidgets 2.6.3 source archive wxALL and configured it with opengl and unicode as described in the wiki.

but i get the following linker error

Solved: I manually added -lwx_gtk2u_gl-2.6 to the makefiles, which solved the issue.
I then had a problem that the Makefile in bin had reference to the datafiles which it then tried to compiled, I removed these references in the makefile.

And now it works .... thanks Scriptkid for a really nice tool!

Kind regards

one small issue

This had me baffled for quite some time I couldn't load any of my old layouts made with the windows version of the editor. When it finally dawned on me: "Its the decimal separator used in the xml files that causes the the editor to freeze in linux"
I had the impression that the period (.) was generally used as decimal separator throughout the gui system, but I can see that the xml output from the cross-platform version of the editor produces commas as separators. Is this an error or is it a conscious choice?

kind regards

What i changed:
-Added BackgroundEnabled property. Usefull for StaticText.
-Added Vertical/Horizontal Window alignment property, you can align it relaitve to the parent(i think you can use this from the Edit/Align menu. There are more options).
-Added Vertical/Horizontal Text alignment property. You can align your text in a StaticText.
-Added Image property. You can edit an StaticImage's Image property. I did it couse i hate when i save the layout and its delete the image property.
-Added InheritsTooltipText property.
-Added Tooltip property. Now you can edit window's tooltips.

New additions coming:
-Color editing with general property editor as text, or shift+clicking on a resize point with color dialog(upper left resize point: TextColor's tl, Upper right resize point: TextColor's tr, etc). If you shif+click on a middle resize point your choice applied to the all color rect. All the four colour visible in the color dialog as custom color, so you can swap colors easily.
-Now you can edit image vert/horz alignment, like left, top, right, bottom, streched, tiled alignment.

Just need some code cleaning, documenting and i upload it.

Hi Xirnohn,

thanks in advance for your contributions. I have started to apply patches, so your's is definately going to be looked in soon!

Hi Xirnohn,

Thx, then i start hurry.

Edit: Bin(with dlls) and source now available.

[scriptkid]

Hi mba,

can you give an example about the difference between the usage of "." and "," in xml? So i can have a try myself.

Besides, about the makefile in the bin directory: did you (re)move the datafiles directory before compiling?

Thanks!

hi scriptkid

heres an example of a layout generated with the cross-platform version of the layout editor

</Window>
</Window>

notice that comma's are used for every decimal separator, if I had exported with the windows version the separators would have been periods.

Hope this clarifies my issue.

Besides, about the makefile in the bin directory: did you (re)move the datafiles directory before compiling?

Of course! silly me...

...but I still had to manually add -lwx_gtk2u_gl-2.6 to the linker flags



Kind regards

Hi mba,

the "," vs. "." is an interesting one. It's probably the result of localization setting for wxWidgets. The editor uses a 'wx' method to convert a string into a double when updating the Udim properties.

To verify (i did that myself): open a Sample CEGUI layout which has "." as seperators, and just change the position of one window. Save the file and look at it. It should show "," for your modified windows, and "." for the untouched ones, right?

I will look into it. Thanks for the heads-up!

[EDIT] I have added the bug to mantis: http://www.cegui.org.uk/mantis/view.php?id=90 [/EDIT]

[mba]

yes you are probably right, that wxWidgets has been localized to Denmark when I build it. I can not try your suggestion as the editor stops responding when trying to load layouts with (.) separators.

Do you think it would solve the issue if I set my locale to US before configuring and building wxWidgets

[scriptkid]

Hey mba,

now i am pretty much stuck on the XML issue. It has nothing to do with wxWidgets btw, sorry for suggesting that. When writing xml, that string value is generated in CEGUI as follows:

Code: Select all

String PropertyHelper::urectToString(const URect& val)
{
   using namespace std;

   char buff[512];
   sprintf(
      buff,
      "{{%f,%f},{%f,%f},{%f,%f},{%f,%f}}",
      val.d_min.d_x.d_scale,val.d_min.d_x.d_offset,
      val.d_min.d_y.d_scale,val.d_min.d_y.d_offset,
      val.d_max.d_x.d_scale,val.d_max.d_x.d_offset,
      val.d_max.d_y.d_scale,val.d_max.d_y.d_offset
   );

   return String((utf8*)buff);
}

I can only guess that the printf familily does localization. But that's hard to believe since i only found some very specific topics on google, and they are not even for sprintf but rather printf:

[Dalfy]

Scriptkid have a look at setlocale which is used to set the localization used in the export. setlocale is the C version of a similar function in C++. There is example on how to use it correctly in the code of the Propertyhelper I think. I will have a look at this issue later today. I am adding an entry to CEGUI tracker.

[lindquist]

In 0.5:

Code: Select all

setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C");


is the first line of the constructor of System, to avoid this issue.

mba: try setting your "LANG" environment variable to "C" before running the editor
