Here is my little function:

Code: [Select]


void loadPaperdoll()
{
    if (!mPaperdoll.mImageBody.LoadFromFile("res//vd//body//1.png"))
    {
        cout<<"Could not read file!!!";
    }
    mPaperdoll.mImageBody.SetSmooth(false);

    if (!mPaperdoll.mImageComplete.LoadFromFile("res//vd//body//1.png"))
    {
        cout<<"Could not read file!!!";
    }
    mPaperdoll.mImageComplete.SetSmooth(false);

    if (!mPaperdoll.mImageClothes.LoadFromFile("res//vd//clothes//1.png"))
    {
        cout<<"Could not read file!!!";
    }
    mPaperdoll.mImageClothes.SetSmooth(false);

    if (!mPaperdoll.mImageHair.LoadFromFile("res//vd//hair//1.png"))
    {
        cout<<"Could not read file!!!";
    }
    mPaperdoll.mImageHair.SetSmooth(false);


    sf::IntRect rct(0,0,0,0);


    mPaperdoll.mImageComplete.Copy(mPaperdoll.mImageClothes,0,0,rct,true);
    mPaperdoll.mImageComplete.Copy(mPaperdoll.mImageHair,0,0,rct,true);

    mPaperdoll.mSprite.SetImage(mPaperdoll.mImageComplete);
    mPaperdoll.mSprite.SetPosition(10,10);
    mPaperdoll.mSprite.SetScale(2.0f,2.0f);
}

The problem is that it don't want to overlay the images.

The reason I don't want to draw them separately is that(because of my bad coding) sfml render them slightly of sometimes. I get one pixel off sometimes when I render, zoom and move around. This is because of bad floats and bad zooming(all my fault). I don't know how I missed image::copy. It was in my mind that the image had to be onscreen to copy. Thanks again for some great info and a great lib.

Me and my friend have been working on a character system that lets you change the skincolor of your character and haircolor. But what is the best approach?
As the game is really lowres, I was thinking about having a 'hairsprite' and a 'bodysprite' and then later join them so you just render one sprite. But how do I join sprites offscreen pixelperfect. I think this could also be used to create different monster at random.

Here is some screens for the game, called 'The Wastelander':

Graphics / sf::string, newlines and getline

Tnx. That makes perfect sense.

Graphics / sf::string, newlines and getline

« on: May 26, 2010, 11:00:08 pm »

Sorry to highjack the topic, but I wonder is it possible to load a line with getline that contains \n in the text file and make SFML render it as a new line?

For Example:

Hi I have a dog.\n Whats your name?

and have it rendered as

Hi I have a dog.
Whats your name?

The reason is I have some old gamefiles from the DOS days that looks like this so I dont want to edit them(replace \n a new line).

Edit: Just read what I wrote again and it sounds dumb, but I still like to know.

SFML projects / Simple Platformer

Been working on a platformer for a couple of days now. The idea for the whole thing is that you load images and create a level and then draw shapes over it that works as the collision layer.

Right now it works like this:
- Loading png to a resource library
- Create sprites from a map file and the resource library.
- Each sprite can be edited. Scale, pos, rotation and color can be changed.
- Then checks collision from the shapes in the scene.
