General discussions / Re: Using SFML 2.1 for Window, Input, ... with Ogre3D Example(Working)

You should put this on the SFML wiki. And maybe even tidy up your overall code style (comments, code indenting, commented code, ect) 

I plan on it, this was a quick post just to get the example online so it doesn't get lost.

I am going to modify the example with the following snippet I wrote in order to do away with the "Ogre Config Dialog"

#if defined OIS_LINUX_PLATFORM
  mRoot->loadPlugin("/usr/lib/OGRE/Plugin_ParticleFX");
  mRoot->loadPlugin("/usr/lib/OGRE/Plugin_CgProgramManager");
  mRoot->loadPlugin("/usr/lib/OGRE/Plugin_OctreeSceneManager");
  mRoot->loadPlugin("/usr/lib/OGRE/Plugin_PCZSceneManager");
  mRoot->loadPlugin("/usr/lib/OGRE/Plugin_OctreeZone");
  mRoot->loadPlugin("/usr/lib/OGRE/Plugin_BSPSceneManager");
  mRoot->loadPlugin("/usr/lib/OGRE/RenderSystem_GL");
  #endif

  Ogre::RenderSystemList::const_iterator renderers = mRoot->getAvailableRenderers().begin();

  while(renderers != mRoot->getAvailableRenderers().end())
  {
    Ogre::String rName = (*renderers)->getName();

    if (rName == "OpenGL Rendering Subsystem")
      break;

    renderers++;
  }

  Ogre::RenderSystem *renderSystem = *renderers;
  renderSystem->setConfigOption("Full Screen","No");
  renderSystem->setConfigOption("Video Mode","1024 x 768 @ 32-bit colour");
  renderSystem->setConfigOption("Display Frequency","50 Hz");
  renderSystem->setConfigOption("FSAA","16");
  renderSystem->setConfigOption("Fixed Pipeline Enabled","Yes");
  renderSystem->setConfigOption("RTT Preferred Mode","FBO");
  renderSystem->setConfigOption("VSync","No");
  renderSystem->setConfigOption("sRGB Gamma Conversion","No");

  mRoot->setRenderSystem(renderSystem);

  // Create a render window
  mWindow =  mRoot->initialise(true, "MyGame v0.0.1");

General discussions / Using SFML 2.1 for Window, Input, ... with Ogre3D Example(Working)

« on: November 12, 2013, 05:20:22 am »

Here is an example on how to use SFML v2.1 for Window, Input, ... for Ogre v1.9
Note: Currently this only works on linux,  changes to this line of code maybe required for other platforms. "misc["currentGLContext"] = Ogre::String("true");"

Performance appears to be very good.

I tried briefly to draw 2D Graphics via SFML but I wasn't able to get anything to show-up, I will have to look further into it. 

The SFML related code is actually very short and simple, I did however provide a full Ogre example with a frame-listener, etc. But 99% of the provided code in the example isn't needed.

Thanks to this Ogre/GLFW Example http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=69853 I was able to get this working.

I hope you find this useful.

        glfwSwapBuffers();
        fGrContext->flush(false);

Or you could use the Nvidia Path Rendering Ext and just feed it pure SVG or Postscript

Stellar.

Is there any way you could upload your assets?

I can just as easily google and download a random .3ds, but seeings as yours is proven to work I would rather yours. If you don't mind, of course.

Ohhh sorry I didn't realize anyone had posted on this topic.  I will look into getting an example online but to be truthful I am having a little trouble with this example my self.

1. With Lights and Materials added no models are showing up.
2. I cant seam to get models textures to show.
3. Model Animation is an issue also.

I am still working on it but I have some good news, I have osgOcean(Ocean Simulator), osgPPU(HDR, Bloom, ... Effects, osgBullet(Physics) and osgRocket(LibRocket) and Googles 2D Graphics Library (Skia) all working out of the box. Once i solve the above issue then we will have pretty much a  complete 3D Game Engine in SFML2.

Graphics / sdl user but I'll switch

« on: January 18, 2012, 06:40:14 pm »

I have no idea how to send messages to other users.

I have a question to caracal:

you mention you have lots of samples with graphics libraries. I'm looking for an algorithm of a glow - maybe you know what options might be?

http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6629

Ummm I am the wrong person to ask about shaders. I am the "Cairo, QPainter, Skia, ImageMadick(Magick++), ... guy.

Hell I could even show you how to integrate OpenSceneGraph.

Shaders are beyond my capability's sorry

If you have a question just ask, here on the forums. I am unlikely to answer any private messages.

Graphics / sdl user but I'll switch

« on: January 17, 2012, 12:54:19 am »

You can use pretty much any 2d graphics library "Cairo, Pixman, QPainter, AGG, Fog Framework, Skia, ImageMagick" to do your drawing and then just
copy the the pixel buffer to a sfml Image.

Here is a ImageMagick (Magick++) Example

Code: [Select]


  sf::Image image;

  Image im("picture.png");;
  Blob blob;

  im.magick("RGBA");
  im.swirl( 100 );
  im.write(&blob);
 
  image.Create(im.columns(), im.rows(), reinterpret_cast<const sf::Uint8*>(blob.data()));
 
  // Load a sprite to display
  sf::Texture texture;
  if (!texture.LoadFromImage(image))
          return EXIT_FAILURE;



If your interested I have examples for all the above 2d graphics engine except AGG. Let me know and Ill prepair them for you

Yahh I am going to have to second that Cmake totaly sucks I also use premake. But I take it a bit further I convert my distros packages build scripts
to premake The latest one that I did was Poco C++ libs. SFML2 will be the next one I convert over to premake once it's stable.

Graphics / Why does this not work properly?

« on: January 10, 2012, 01:11:05 pm »

I'm sorry Nexus and Tau Sudan.  Caracal is right.  I was irritated with this problem so much and I couldn't find a response and I became impacient so I took it out on these forums.  I apologize for the anger.  I will look into that tread the next time I'm going to post something new Nexus.  And Caracal, I'll remember to keep those things in mind and try to fix the problem.  I enjoyed reading your post.

Happens to me all the time just yesterday I was building a custom scenegraph, worked on a problem i had with the code for 5 hours.
Got mad almost threw my keyboard. But I didn't I went and took a nap
and when I woke up, Right away I seen the problem and fixed it.

Graphics / Why does this not work properly?

« on: January 10, 2012, 12:45:23 pm »

I see a few things wrong here.

1. Your trying to work on a problem when your
obviously irritated. Tip: Don't force it, walk away
from it for awhile or work on something else.

2. Design Patterns and Control Flow.
Your just dumping a heap of code that does what you want
into a mouse press event. Research callbacks and signal & slots.
The way your doing it now is just asking for problems.

3. Post all of your code so we can take a look, compile it tinker with
it and find the issue and make our suggestions, or give proper feedback.

4. Be kind and polite. This is an open community, no one has to help you
but if your kind, polite and help others when you can. Then others will help
you.

Try googles snappy library http://code.google.com/p/snappy/ the readme is here http://code.google.com/p/snappy/source/browse/trunk/README

I am looking at packing my data into Googles protocol buffers and compressing that with snappy.

Personally I would use any decent zip library because zip is supported on every platform its fast with decent compression and it does both compression and archiving.

Not to be a necromancer on this topic but I just ran into the same problem
here is how I solved it.

Code: [Select]


     QImage res = QImage(320, 320, QImage::Format_ARGB32);
     res.load("test.png");
     res = res.rgbSwapped();

Just curious, why did you use Horde3D?

I think Ogre3D is more powerful and flexible. It is also as open-source as Horde3D (as far as I know).

I am not a big fan of C++ Templates which Ogre3D make extensive use of.
So basically my decision came down to ease of use.
