[SOLVED] Image not defined on StaticImage

[thomas]

So I am trying to load a static image for a UI element in my game with this code:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::Window *myImageWindow = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().createWindow("TaharezLook/StaticImage","BloodUI");
myImageWindow->setPosition(CEGUI::UVector2(CEGUI::UDim(0, 0), CEGUI::UDim(0, 0)));
myImageWindow->setSize(CEGUI::USize(CEGUI::UDim(1, 0), CEGUI::UDim(1, 0)));
myImageWindow->setProperty("Image", "set:SpellByteImages image:full_image");
APP->ceguiContext->getRootWindow()->addChild(myImageWindow);

Which came from:
http://cegui.org.uk/wiki/CEGUI_In_Practice_-_Creating_widgets

I made my own scheme and imageset like so:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<GUIScheme version="5" name="SpellByte">
   <Imageset filename="SpellByte.imageset" />
</GUIScheme>

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Imageset version="2" name="SpellByteImages" imagefile="blood.png" nativeHorzRes="1600" nativeVertRes="900" autoScaled="true" >
    <Image name="Blood" xPos="0" yPos="0" width="1600" height="900" />
</Imageset>

And here is my log:

Code: Select all

I have tried different images such as

Code: Select all

set:TaharezLook image:full_image
set:TaharezLook image:MenuTop
set:SpellByteImages image:Blood

and no matter what, I get the same message "Image not defined"

Do I need to somehow initialize it or specifically load it?

Here is my initialization:

Code: Select all

LOG("Initializing CEGUI");
// Initialize CEGUI
ceguiRenderer = &CEGUI::OgreRenderer::bootstrapSystem();

// Tell CEGUI in which group to find its resources from Ogre
CEGUI::Font::setDefaultResourceGroup("Fonts");
CEGUI::Scheme::setDefaultResourceGroup("Schemes");
CEGUI::WidgetLookManager::setDefaultResourceGroup("LookNFeel");
CEGUI::WindowManager::setDefaultResourceGroup("Layouts");
CEGUI::ImageManager::setImagesetDefaultResourceGroup("Imagesets");

// Load CEGUI configurations and skin/interface
CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().createFromFile( "GameMenu.scheme" );
CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().createFromFile( "TaharezLook.scheme" );
CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().createFromFile( "VanillaSkin.scheme" );
CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().createFromFile( "SpellByte.scheme" );
ceguiContext = &CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext();
ceguiContext->getMouseCursor().setDefaultImage( "GameMenuImages/MouseCursor" );
ceguiContext->injectMousePosition(0.0, 0.0);
ceguiContext->getMouseCursor().show();
LOG("CEGUI Initialized");

Thank you, Thomas

I'm not sure this will solve your problem,

Code: Select all

myImageWindow->setSize(CEGUI::USize(CEGUI::UDim(1, 0), CEGUI::UDim(1, 0)));

in the example they use,

Code: Select all

myImageWindow->setSize(USize(UDim(0,150),UDim(0,100)));

yours are maybe too small... also, don't know if it's important or not, but you put "1", they are float, so put "1.0f"

[thomas]

The difference is the second number is for pixels, the first is for scaling. It states to use 1 in the first column if you want it to fill the whole window.

Thanks for pointing it out though it was worth a shot

Thanks for pointing that out, the wiki article was aged and no one had updated it. I fixed it myself. The issue was simple, instead of using "set:" and "image:" an image should be referenced like this: "TaharezLook/full_image" . We do not use "set:" anymore in 0.8.x. Please try it out and tell me if it works.

Also you can look at the update wiki article.

[thomas]

Awesome that did it.

Code: Select all

myImageWindow->setProperty("Image", "SpellByteImages/Blood");

Worked great, but "full_image" doesn't work, either with TaharezLook or SpellByteImages. Is that meant to be a keyword to refer to the entire image, or is that something which needs to be set in a layout or imageset?

Either way I will set this as solved, thanks very much you are awesome Ident

[Ident]

It is the definition for the Image in the imageset's xml. So somewhere in your imageset you definied an <Image> with a name that is "whatever", and then you refer to it by "ImagesetName/whatever"

[thomas]

Ah I see, I just didn't have it defined. Makes sense now

Thanks!
