Try to call the DLL function before unloading the DLL.

I’ve tried that, it doesn’t make a difference.

General / dynamic code loading problem

« on: August 13, 2019, 01:08:55 pm »

When I change som attributes in the gameCode.cpp it does seem to succesfully reload the DLL during runtime
however, i don't see the changes on screen, that was made in the code.

i want it to reload during runtime.

CJsfml_002.cpp

        window.setFramerateLimit(60);  
       
        sf::RectangleShape mRect(sf::Vector2f(40.0f, 40.0f));;
        mRect.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(30.0f, 30.0f)); 
        mRect.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

        // Getting pointer to the rect
        sf::RectangleShape *rect = &mRect;

SFML projects / Re: Trying to manage Hot loading code with SFML

« on: August 12, 2019, 08:42:26 am »

If you link to static SFML libraries, you must define the SML_STATIC preprocessor symbol, as stated in the tutorial.

Ohooo, lul that was it!

however when i use the extern "C" i get a warning

Code: [Select]

gameCode.h(6): warning C4190: 'CreateRect' has C-linkage specified, but returns UDT 'sf::RectangleShape' which is incompatible with C


is this something that one would have to worry about or can i ignore it?

i need to use extern "C" so that i can find the functions later and store it in a function pointer.

SFML projects / Trying to manage Hot loading code with SFML

« on: August 11, 2019, 09:49:12 pm »

Im trying to implement hot loading with SFML.

I manage to do it with a normal C Console application and the process goes like so:

1. create some code and compile it into a .DLL

2. load the code in my main-loop


However when i try to make a DLL with some SFML ckasses/functions I get a lot of unresolved externals, and i can't really understand how this would be solved.

any ideas??

first problem is making a DLL that has some classes/functions from the SFML-library.

gameCode.h:

#include "SFML\Graphics.hpp"

extern "C"
{
        __declspec(dllexport) void CreateRect(sf::Vertex &vert);
}      

 

gameCode.cpp:

#include "gameCode.h"

__declspec(dllexport) void CreateRect(sf::RectangleShape RS)
{
        RS.setSize(sf::Vector2f(2.0f, 2.0f));
       
}

General / batch file replace libraries with variable

« on: July 31, 2019, 01:04:33 pm »

I thought were supposed to be able to set all the libraries in one variable but it doesn't seem to work, if i replace the lin libraries with the variable i get a TON of error becuase the compiler don't seem to link the libraries.

How can this be solved?

THIS WORKS:

General / Re: Is this Efficient (sf::RectangleShape vs tilemaps) ??

« on: July 30, 2019, 10:01:45 pm »

oh, okay!

but this example here:

seems much more complicated than what i did, are there any differencies??

General / Is this Efficient (sf::RectangleShape vs tilemaps) ??

« on: July 30, 2019, 09:40:20 pm »

hey im wondering if this is efficient for say, writing a game like "breakOut"?

Or should one strive for using tilemaps instead of allocating many sf::RectangleShapes?

Say i would want to add some texture to the rectShapes, would this be really inefficient in the long run?

#define SFML_STATIC

Allright it worked thanks!

btw i have another problem when i try to bundle the link libraries.
It works for the standard windows LIBS and the LIBS included with sfml (the freetype/vorbis etc..) but not the actual sfml libraries (sfml-graphics-s.lib etc....).

any idea?
heres my batch file which works FINE:

#define mouseRPosX mouseRect.getPosition().x

        }

        return 0;
}
 

if I press and drag toward +x(right) and + y(down) the "position" of "select rect" is in the top left corner which makes it easy to calculate collision  relative to the object beeing selected from there.

however

if I press and drag toward -x(left) and  -y(up) the"position" of  "select rect" is in the bottom right corner which makes it weird to calculate collision from there.

it feels like i've implemented something wrong here.

any ideas?

Network / Connection with getPublicAdress()

« on: April 13, 2019, 11:15:57 am »

I have two computers at Home which has the same public IP-adress.
The computers have diffrenet local IP’s.

Is it possile to send/receive using the public adress or must one use the local adress?

using the local adress works because i’ve tested it but when i change to the public adress, the server/client communication doesn’t work.

The program i’ve coded is just at simple testing program using UdpSockets nothing fancy.

Network / Re: why doesn't sf::udpSocket::anyport work here?

« on: April 10, 2019, 11:00:27 pm »

I think i solved myself.

when you open up two different programs, sf::UdpSocket::Anyport will generate two different ports for:

unsigned short clientPort;

thus the "client" will not receive the information sent from the server.

On the other hand when I assign a predetermined value for the port like:

unsigned short clientPort = 4001;

the clienPort will be the same in both programs running and therefore the "client will receive the information!

Network / Re: why doesn't sf::udpSocket::anyport work here?

« on: April 10, 2019, 05:06:13 pm »

in this example i guess sf::UdpSocket::Anyport generates a port that's not occupied and assigns it to "port".

and that's what it does because the program displays the port with getlocalport().

the thing is that inside let's call it "server mode":

if (socket.send(buffer, sizeof(buffer), IP, clientPort) != sf::Socket::Done)

here clientPort == 0;

but in "client mode":

if (socket.bind(clientPort) != sf::Socket::Done)

here clientPort contains the port that was assigned with sf::UdpSocket::Anyport;


but when i hard code the ports with a value, like:

 unsigned short clientPort = 4001;

clientPort IS assigned 4001 in both "server mode" AND"client mode".



since i don't know what port would be availabe on some other computer, I thought it would be a good idea to let the program find a free port by itself rather than me hardcoding a port value...

please let me know if im thinking wrong here

Hello! if i assign clientPort and serverPort manually with values like:

   unsigned short serverPort = 4000;
   unsigned short clientPort = 4001;

this code manages to send information from server to client.

but when i do this:

   unsigned short serverPort = sf::UdpSocket::AnyPort;
   unsigned short clientPort = sf::UdpSocket::AnyPort;

The server sends to port 0 and not the actuall clientPort.
So no message is reveived by the client.

why is this?
