Background static Image and Imagesets?

[Mars_999]

I am getting the feeling that you can only have one file(texture image) per imageset? Reason I ask is, I wanted to use the existing ogretray.imageset file but use my own background image? I don't see how this will workout without making a whole new imageset file that is large enough to hold my background image...


Thanks!

This is true.

The easiest way to handle this is probably to make a new imageset based on your background image. That does not mean you need to alter the OgreTray imageset. You can load and use multiple imagesets simultaneously. In this case, creating an imageset specifically for your background image should be fairly trivial, as an .imageset file is merely a listing of sub-images; so in this case you only need a single entry with the full dimensions.

Once you have the new .imageset for your background setup, there are a few ways to assign the new image. Most likely you will want either 1) in your .looknfeel file, replace all reference to the existing OgreTray background with reference to the new custom background or 2) assign a new background reference to individual windows via the .layout file or in code.

You will also need to make sure your system loads the new imageset. You can accomplish this by manually loading it via code, or by adding a new Imageset entry into your .scheme file.
