General / Issues using sfe movie

« on: April 23, 2014, 11:16:50 pm »

I have my project set up to use Sfe Movie and my program builds fine, but everytime I run the executable it crashes when it tries to load an .ogv file (including one from the working demo). When I run in CMD, I get the errors:

Code: [Select]

N:\Projects\C++\SkipiEngineTest\Debug>N:\Projects\C++\SkipiEngineTest\Debug\SkipiEngineTest.exe

AL lib: FreeContext: (006c78b8) Deleting 1 Source(s)
AL lib: FreeContext: (0069af68) Deleting 3 Source(s)
The code to open the movie file looks like this:

Code: [Select]

for(int i = 0; i < NUM_MOVIE_FILES; i++){
sfe::Movie* m = new sfe::Movie;
try{
if(!m -> openFromFile(MOVIE_PATH + MOVIE_FILENAMES[i] + ".ogv")){
return -4;
}
}catch(std::exception& e){
std::cerr << e.what() << "\n";
std::cout << "Could not open " << MOVIE_PATH + MOVIE_FILENAMES[i] + ".ogv" << "\n";
return -4;
}
ResManager::movieMap[MOVIE_FILENAMES[i]] = m;
}

It's a pretty straightforward way of opening the files, and I assume the .ogv file in the demo has acceptable codecs. Maybe it's because I'm loading it through a pointer?

Thanks.

Edit:

Looks like it was because I was building in the debug configuration. Most of my issues are solved, expect one. Now when I run the program, I hear audio but no video is displayed. What I get with debugging messages enabled:

Looks like frames are being skipped because the program thinks the video needs to be much farther ahead than it is?

Edit 2:

So the reason no video was displayed was because I accidentally set the scale to 0, 0. Fixing that, looks like the video is being displayed but only on the first frame..

Edit 3:

Looks like it was just an issue with my actual video file. Tried other files and it works.

Java / Is there a more efficient way of updating VertexArrays?

« on: January 22, 2014, 07:27:02 pm »

Hello.

I'm working on a project in which I'm using VertexArray to draw moving lines as well as a particle system based off the code shown here:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/graphics-vertex-array.php

It's an easy enough implementation, however I end up with code that looks like this:

Note, the Vector2f is my own implementation since the values in org.jsfml.system.Vector2f are final.

Code: [Select]

import org.jsfml.graphics.*;
import org.jsfml.system.Time;
import systemcrash.math.Vector2f;

class MachinegunBullet extends Bullet {
    private VertexArray shape;
   
    @Override
    public void tick(Time t) {
pos.x += direction.x * velocity * t.asSeconds();
pos.y += direction.y * velocity * t.asSeconds();

shape.set(0, new Vertex(new org.jsfml.system.Vector2f(pos.x, pos.y), new Color(255, 255, 0, 100)));
shape.set(1, new Vertex(new org.jsfml.system.Vector2f(pos.x + 5*direction.y, pos.y + 5*direction.y), Color.YELLOW));

    }

    @Override
    public void draw(RenderTarget rt, RenderStates rs) {
rt.draw(shape);
    }
   
    public MachinegunBullet(Vector2f pos, Vector2f direction, float angle) {
super(pos, direction, angle);
shape = new VertexArray(PrimitiveType.LINES);
shape.add(new Vertex(new org.jsfml.system.Vector2f(pos.x, pos.y), new Color(255, 255, 0, 100)));
shape.add(new Vertex(new org.jsfml.system.Vector2f(pos.x + 5*direction.y, pos.y + 5*direction.y), Color.YELLOW));
    }

   
   
}
Since Vertexes are final, I have to create new vertex objects with the updated positions as well as colors in some cases. So that leaves me wondering if there is a better method of updating the Vertices in the Array than throwing away two objects per frame per bullet?

Thanks.

General / Re: Issue with static linking in MSVC 2012

« on: July 19, 2013, 08:07:54 pm »

How would it compile if it couldn't find the headers?

I don't think that could be it since I put it in the compiler include folder. But just in case, I set the include directory in the settings to the SFML headers and I get the same result.

It's possible I've changed something I shouldn't have. I'm not too familiar with many of the options.

All the files were added correctly to the project, and all my current functions are implemented in main.cpp, so it shouldn't be that. The output from my code was the linker. I set it to verbose so it outputs everything. My code is compiling fine, it's just linking improperly.

I've attached the project file.

The best SFML game I have encountered would have to be Open Hexagon.

It's a remake of Terry Cavanagh’s famous Super Hexagon that greatly extends the game.

I've been looking through threads for a few hours now trying to find a solution to my problem, but nothing I'm finding appears to be my issue.

Anyways, I'm using MS Visual Studio 2012 with SFML 2.0 and I am trying to statically link the libraries. The errors I am getting are:

I had a problem before of the linker not finding the .lib files, but after fixing that, I am certain it is finding them. I have them set in Linker>Input>Additional Dependencies as *-s-d.lib and I also have SFML_STATIC set in C/C++>Preprocessor>Preprocessor Definitions. Furthermore, I've seen some sources saying to set C/C++>Code Generation>Runtime Library to Multi-threaded Debug (/MDd).

The only thing I have not done is set up everything for Release, but I don't think that should affect me as long as I'm working in Debug mode. The libraries I am using are sfml-system-s-d.lib, sfml-windows-s-d.lib, and sfml-graphics-s-d.lib.

I've been working with SFML for a few years now, but I constantly get these linker errors and can never solve them. Obviously I'm missing something. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Graphics / Need help with '∞' symbol

« on: December 03, 2011, 06:39:15 pm »

Sorry for the double post, but when I use the code above I get this message in the console:

Code: [Select]


     Failed to load font "arial.ttf" (Cannot open Resource"


It only occurs when I pass the character set to the font.

How do I fix this? Thanks

I checked and Arial does seem to include it. However it's still not showing up.

Here's the code I have now:

Code: [Select]


    sf::Font Font;
    sf::Uint32 CharSet[] = {0x221E,0x0};
    Font.LoadFromFile("arial.ttf", 30, CharSet);

...

    AmmoText = sf::String(sf::Unicode::Text(L"\u221E"), Font, 10.f);

Hello,

I am trying to display the infinity symbol for a game I am making.

The code I use to get it is:

Code: [Select]


AmmoText = sf::String(sf::Unicode::Text(L"\u221E"), sf::Font::GetDefaultFont(), 10.f);


But nothing shows up for it.

How can I make it so that '∞' will be outputted?

Thanks

Well, more or less for the experience of coding it. Also I can change it easily to suit my needs.

Also I'd like to expand it and make it unique eventually.

SFML projects / TileCat Map Editor

« on: November 12, 2011, 12:00:53 am »

Hello.

While developing another project I started this project as a small utility program to make maps for an RPG game. I've since turned it into its own project.

What it is, is a tile map editor with a few rather simple functions.

You can load/Save files

Copy/Paste sections of tiles

Fill a block of tiles

Select two different tiles to "paint"

A full README is included.

Here's a screen shot:



Download here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/tilecat/home/Home/

So what do you all think?

I want to eventually make it so I can have multiple maps open at once each with their own window. But I've ran into many problems and bugs trying this.

Graphics / Help with sf::RenderWindow*

« on: November 02, 2011, 10:18:01 pm »

I actually forgot to change something.

Code: [Select]


TileMap::TileMap()
{
    App = new sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(1088, 832), MapType + " - " + MapName);
    App2 = new sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(64, 640), "Images");
}  


Should be

Code: [Select]


TileMap::TileMap()
{
    App = &sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(1088, 832), MapType + " - " + MapName);
    App2 = &sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(64, 640), "Images");

And that's what I'm getting an error with. The rest of my code(Minus unrelated functions, of course):

Graphics / Help with sf::RenderWindow*

« on: November 02, 2011, 09:47:47 pm »

Hello,

I'm having a small issue with a pointer to a render window. I basically have a vector of a class I wrote where each instance has their own render window, although because render window is noncopyable, I am using a pointer to a render window. Here's the code:

Code: [Select]


class TileMap
{
public:
        sf::RenderWindow* App;
        sf::RenderWindow* App2;
}
int main()
{
    vector<TileMap> Maps;
    Maps.push_back(TileMap());
}

TileMap::TileMap()
{
    App = new sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(1088, 832), MapType + " - " + MapName);
    App2 = new sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(64, 640), "Images");
}  


What ends up happening is two white windows flash on the screen then disappear. Then the program crashes when it checks if App is open.

So what am I doing wrong in this? I believe that, somehow, the pointer is being broken somewhere. I tried making the RenderWindows on the heap but I got a whole slew of bugs.

Thanks
