Graphics / Re: Manually adjust view sizing ?

« on: April 13, 2015, 12:30:51 am »

I fixed it with this.

m_view.setViewport(sf::FloatRect(0,0,1920.f / mNativeVideoMode.width, 1080.f / mNativeVideoMode.height));

Not sure if this is bad or not, but it worked.

I don't resize the window. The window stays the same i just want it to display the 1920 x 1080p properly the size of the window is always 1280 x 800. I just want to shrink the image properly to fit the 1280 x 800 screen. I added this :

m_view.setViewport(sf::FloatRect(0,0,1,1));

But i still get the same results.

Graphics / Manually adjust view sizing ?

« on: April 12, 2015, 11:44:32 pm »

So i have created a view:

m_view (sf::Vector2f(1920 * 0.5f, 1080 * 0.5f),sf::Vector2f(1920.f, 1080.f))
m_nativeVideoMode = sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode();   
m_window.create(m_nativeVideoMode, "Neon",sf::Style::None,settings);
m_window.setView(m_view);
 

The screen the game is running on has the resolution of 1280 X 800. When something is drawn it isn't modified properly to fit the screen. I submitted a screen shot the white part I highlighted to show the screen size. As you can see it doesn't take advantage of the full space. Is there any way i can over ride this and make it fit properly ?

Oh i'm using 2.0, should probably update.

Network / Sending Time Over the Network

« on: April 09, 2015, 12:57:18 am »

When i send a packet the last think i put into the packet is the local time that it was sent. For this i am using chrono, but the problem is that it returns a INT64 which isn't supported. If I cast the data into a different type it just isn't precise enough! I cant use sf clock as I need to use the local time so i can measure the Round Trip time of the packet. So has any one had this problem and how did they get around it ?

Network / Re: Optimizing Networking

« on: April 03, 2015, 07:48:55 pm »

The connection is laggy on the client side, when a certain amount of NPCS spawn due to the traffic building up i'm assuming. I should probably start with only sending data about my entities a set number of times, and i also need to find a way of only updating the NPC to the most recent packet that contains information about that NPC. I just don't know how and i'm sure their is some clever ways of doing this. All i want is a name of a book or relevant resources that i can read to help me with the problems.

Network / Optimizing Networking

« on: April 03, 2015, 07:22:52 pm »

Hey!

So i have made a game with networking. It has gotten to the point where i need to start optimizing my networking code, but i don't really know how! Does any one have any good sources of information for optimizing ?

Thanks.

Sorry I didn't see that!

Window / Shrinking SFML coordinate system

« on: August 11, 2014, 05:40:48 pm »

So the coordinate system is the same as the size of the window , for example you will have a window that is 800,800 and the top left corner is 0,0 and the bottom right corner is 800,800! Can you shrink the coordinate system inside the window ?

For example you will have a window at 800,800 , top left is 0,0 but the bottom right is 1600,1600 ? But the window still only takes up the 800,800 pixels ?

Thankyou

On linker input ,configuration release i have put : sfml-graphics.lib;sfml-window.lib;sfml-system.lib
and on the same page but configuration debug(not active(debug)) i put :
sfml-graphics-d.lib;sfml-window-d.lib;sfml-system-d.lib;

i haven't put SFML-STATIC in the c/c++ pre-processor , i tried it didnt fix the problem , i have out the dll's in the debug folders doesn't make any difference either

General / sfml OOP

« on: August 05, 2013, 05:36:08 pm »

I do games programming at university and part of it is that we have to learn oop with sfml. Well i am having massive difficulty doing this! I just can't work out how to lay my programmes out , or even how to begin planning and designing the objects can i have some help on how i would start planning/designing them ! thanks
