You were absolutely right !

Coming from Java, it is a bit of a strange concept that a getter also returns a copy ...

Graphics / problem using texture [solved]

« on: March 20, 2016, 10:56:12 am »

Hi guys !

I have been playing around with the tilemap class ( http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/graphics-vertex-array.php#example-tile-map ), and everything is working fine : I can display 2 'test' layers in one of the viewports I set up.

I next wanted to display the tileset texture that was loaded inside the tilemap class in a second viewport. But here, I ran into trouble and I don't understand why ...

class TileMap : public sf::Drawable, public sf::Transformable {
   public:
        bool load() {
           if (!texTileSet.loadFromFile("maps/newTileSet.png")) {
                return false;
           }
           //...
        }

        sf::Texture getTileSet() { //THIS IS NOT WORKING
           return texTileSet;
        }

        //...

   private:
        sf::Texture texTileSet;
        //...
}


Main.cpp
int main() {
   //...
   TileMap tileMap;
   if (!tileMap.load()) {
        return -1;
   }

   sf::Sprite sprite;
   sprite.setTexture(tileMap.getTileSet());

   window.draw(sprite);
   //...
}
 

The result of this code : "not_ok.png" (no errors or crashes).

On the other hand, if I reload the texture inside main, all is fine.

Main.cpp
int main() {
   //...
   TileMap tileMap;
   if (!tileMap.load()) {
        return -1;
   }

   sf::Texture texTileSet;
   if (!texTileSet.loadFromFile("maps/newTileSet.png")) { //THIS IS OK
           return false;
   }

   sf::Sprite sprite;
   sprite.setTexture(tileMap.getTileSet());

   window.draw(sprite);
   //...
}
 

The result of this code : "ok.png".

What am I doing wrong here ?   
Thanks !

Thank you both for your help ! 

So, just to make sure I understand ... You are talking about something like this, right ?!

window.clear();
window.setView(view_menu);
window.draw(rect1); //draw menu elements here
window.setView(view_map);
window.draw(rect2); //draw map stuff here
window.display();

General / creating a sidebar menu

« on: March 08, 2016, 02:34:28 pm »

Hi guys,

I wondered if someone more experienced could point me in the right direction for this ? I have been searching the forum and tutorials, but so far I haven't really found what I'm looking for.

I would like to create an application with a sidebar menu, that contains clickable icons and input fields. See for example "Pioneers" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/joshua_skelton/pioneers_climbing_small_zps65302f50.png.

I understand one can use GUI libraries and such, but my question is about the creation of the sidebar itself. Is that a second window, or a second layer, or ... ?

Thanks for the help !!!

Ah ...
So, I take it by 'optimized' you mean 'compiled with an /O option' ?

Hi guys,

Could someone explain to this C++/SFML noob what the difference is between the release and debug versions of the libraries ?

Thanks !
