General discussions / How to create a build menu with the SFML view

« on: May 15, 2011, 06:51:45 pm »

hi, thanks for your answers!

So I have to determine the coodinates manually, or can I set an alignment?

Graphics / scaling with absolute values

« on: May 03, 2011, 10:19:14 pm »

hi!

How can I set the scale of a sprite in absolute values? I want to have a sprite which is always 400x400, no matter the original size.

Hi!

I'm having trouble creating a build menu like that one shown in this picture (http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/282897-supreme-commander-forged-alliance-windows-screenshot-new-hud.png).

I've figure a view would do the the job, but I cannot imagine how this works. Can anyone give me the basic idea how to do it?

Graphics / SFML 1.6, ConvertCoords does not work properly

« on: April 18, 2011, 12:51:25 pm »

Hi there!

i have a problem using the ConvertCoords-method of window.

I'll first describe, what I want to do. When the user clicks, I want a new circle to appear on the screen. I'm performing a scroll when the mouse touches a border, so I the mouse coordinates themselves wouldn't do anymore. So I found the ConvertCoords-method and tried to determine the real position of a new shape like this:

Code: [Select]

sf::Vector2f convertedCoords = App->ConvertCoords(static_cast<unsigned int>(x),static_cast<unsigned int>(y));

x and y are the last known coordinates of the mouse, I determine them in the message loop, like this:

Code: [Select]

// left mouse button released
            if (Event.Type = sf::Event::MouseMoved)
            {
                // Save mouse position
                x = Event.MouseMove.X;
                y = Event.MouseMove.Y;
            }
Then I initialize a new shape with the newly calculated coordinated and display it. But it does only seldom work, as soon as I'm close to any border(around 200px distance), x is simply ignored. I'm working on uploading an executable.

My shape is initialized like this:

Code: [Select]

new sf::Shape(sf::Shape::Circle(50,50,50, sf::Color(0,25,60), 6, sf::Color(255,23,65)));

Later I change the coordinates to x and y from above via

Code: [Select]

img->SetPosition(X,Y);

What do I do wrong?

General / SFML 1.6 - Window won't react

« on: April 15, 2011, 07:36:14 pm »

Hi, I have to annoy you once again!

I have following code to create a black window:

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML\Window.hpp>
int main()
{
    sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode::GetMode(0) , "SFML Window");
    while (true)
        App.Display();
    return 0;
}

The window appears but it just doesn't react - I can't close it nor move or resize it. I am linking statically, the examples, that link dynamically, work fine. But when I link them statically as well, they won't react either. If dynamic linking is the only solution, how can I do it? I get errors "undefined reference to ..." although I defined SFML_DYNAMIC. What have I forgotten?

General / SFML 1.6 - Problem with linking

« on: April 15, 2011, 05:08:13 pm »

Hi!

I have a problem with linking my project. It compiles fine, but when linking, it says

undefined reference to `sf::Window::Display()'

I have included Window.hpp and I tried to display my window:

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
App->Display();

What could I have forgotten? I'm using Code::Blocks and in the linker-tab, I've added libsfml-system.a as a library to link and -lsfml-system
as a parameter to the linker. The library is taken form the SDK, folder \lib. I am compiling with mingw g++, version 4.3.3.
