Render limitation?

[jaguillard]

I'm trying to draw a large number of CEGUI StaticImages to the screen, but once I reach about 1000 objects, some of the windows won't draw until others have been deleted. Is there a limitation set into CEGUI or Ogre to only render so many of them? If so, can it be disabled?

Hi,

Yes this limitation exists within the CEGUI code, and to be honest, there's no good reason for it. It's a left-over from years back which was never really addressed (the in-progress renderer rewrite does remove this limitation).

If you want to change this yourself, currently you'll have to look in the file src/CEGUIRenderer.cpp and you'll see this:

Code: Select all

const float   Renderer::GuiZInitialValue      = 1.0f;
const float   Renderer::GuiZElementStep      = 0.001f;      // this is enough for 1000 Windows.
const float   Renderer::GuiZLayerStep         = 0.0001f;      // provides space for 10 layers per Window.


It's a matter of changing those and rebuilding I'm afraid :-/

HTH

CE.
