Graphics / locale error by using sf::STring

« on: February 04, 2009, 04:38:19 pm »

hi,
When I use sf::String in my program (just sf::String test("hi")), I get the following error:

Code: [Select]


locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid - terminating...

what does this mean and is there a way for me to fix this?

SFML website / SFML 1.4 Documentation no link to source?

« on: January 09, 2009, 04:49:34 pm »

Hi,
I miss the direct links from the documentation of SFML 1.4 to the implementation of a function.
They may have been removed because they aren't necessary but even if they aren't necessary I found them really usefull not only to learn something about the usage of sfml but also to learn something in general.
(Of course I can still view the sources but the links in the documentation were usefull).

Graphics / GetPixelsPtr() power of two it pot is not allowed?

« on: January 08, 2009, 08:40:00 pm »

Hi,
I'm using sf::Image to load an image from a file and I'm using GetPixelsPtr() to get the pixeldata. The documentation states that the size of the image is GetWidth() * GetHeight() * 4 but is this always true? For example if there's no GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two is GetPixelsPtr NPOT?
And is there an easy way to get a pot pixel data with sfml(I mean sfml has to do this somewhere so...)

Graphics / mixing sf::String with OpenGL - text is always white.

« on: January 06, 2009, 07:46:40 pm »

Hi, I want to use SFML to create a window and handle input for OpenGL but I also want to use SFML for drawing strings(because it seams easy to me and I don't want to search for another OpenGL textlibrary).
Now I have a code to draw an image(with texturemapping) but when I execute the function, no matter if it is before or after the textdrawing, the drawn string is always white.
That's the relevant codepart:

Code: [Select]


img->draw(); // if I comment this line out the text is red as it should be

if(m_show_fps)
{
static int i(0);
stringstream fps("");
fps << "fps: " << static_cast<int>(1/m_window->GetFrameTime()) << endl;
sf::String fps_drawable(fps.str(), Font::GetDefaultFont(), 10);
fps_drawable.SetColor(Color::Red);
m_window->Draw(fps_drawable);
}

And image::draw

Code: [Select]


void image::draw() const
{
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);

glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_REPLACE);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_tex_name);

glVertexPointer(coord_per_vertex, GL_SHORT, coord_per_vertex*sizeof(GLshort), &m_vertices[0]);
glTexCoordPointer(texel_per_vertex, GL_FLOAT, texel_per_vertex*sizeof(GLfloat), &m_tex_coords[0]);

glDrawElements(GL_QUADS, vertices_per_square, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, &m_indices[0]);
glFlush();
}

Hi,
Is it possible to draw on an image and if not, why does Image has a save function?

Graphics / Does SFML draw slower on a wxWidgets Control

« on: August 07, 2008, 11:03:20 pm »

Hi,
I have a speed problem when I draw a map with 20*15 32*32 Tiles(Sprites).
I've already drawn something similiar directly on a RenderWindow(maybe you remember, I asked about speed in debugmode).

Before I start figuring out why it is so slow(gprof analyzes 0.19 cumulative seconds and 0.00 self seconds) I wanted to ask if there's something different with a wxWidgetswindow, so that drawing is generally slower?

Graphics / Compiz Fusion and SFML, could this be a SFML bug?

« on: August 05, 2008, 07:43:27 pm »

Hi,
I have a big problem with my program, which started when I replaced the drawing code from wxWidgets with SFML Drawing Code(because of the performance).
Sometimes(about 1 third of all trys) during the execution of the program comiz fusion gets incredebly slow(first I thought X is frozen), it always happens during a compiz fusion effect. It only happens when my program is running, but even if it does nothing compiz sometimes crash during an effect. With metacity --replace everything works fine again, so I think it only occures with Compiz.
Because there should be no way how my Code could crash compiz fusion
I think it could be something with OpenGL(I'm not using OpenGL Code, but Compiz Fusion is and I think SFML is too(?))
I'm using SFML 1.3, wxWidgets, Boost and Ubuntu 8.04.

I hope you can help me

Graphics / Resize VideoMode?

« on: July 24, 2008, 01:07:32 am »

Hi,
I have a sfml RenderWindow which is also a wxControl and I don't want any stretching or shrinking or something else when I resize the wxControl.
So I tried to use the method sf::RenderWindow::Create to set up a new VideoMode, but it's opened in a new Window, and not where it should be.
What can I do?

Window / wxWidgets and SFML on Linux(wxGTK)

« on: July 19, 2008, 10:09:32 pm »

Hi, I have a little problem with an error that's very hard to debug, because it doesn't occur everytime. It's probably something with Multithreading.
It directly shuts down when the program starts, I think that it's because of something in which sfml is involved, but I can't tell for sure(because I can't find anything out about a randomly occuring problem)

I hope you can help me :/
that's the output

The program 'HephaistosGameForge' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 33 error_code 3 request_code 3 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Locking assertion failure.  Backtrace:
#0 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 [0x7fd67ac3297c]
#1 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0(xcb_xlib_lock+0x15) [0x7fd67ac32a15]
#2 /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 [0x7fd67ce3a323]
#3 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 [0x7fd680e7f0e6]

When I run it with --sync the error never occures!

I can post the sfml code but it's nearly copied out of the tutorial

Code: [Select]

 24     sf::RenderWindow::Create(GetHandle());
 25   #endif
 26   }

I really hope you can help me, because I've completly no idea how I can found the cause of this problem.

General / Linux - Debuglibs

« on: July 19, 2008, 05:44:44 pm »

Hi,
Because there are no debuglibs with the linux version(why?) I tried to compile it by myself.
But how can I compile the debuglibs?

And when I try to compile the releaseversion I get the following error

g++ -o SoundFile.o -c SoundFile.cpp -W -Wall -pedantic -I../../../include -I../../ -DNDEBUG -O2 -fPIC
In file included from SoundFile.cpp:29:
../../SFML/Audio/SoundFileDefault.hpp:32:21: error: sndfile.h: No such file or directory

../../SFML/Audio/SoundFileDefault.hpp:147: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘SNDFILE’ with no type
../../SFML/Audio/SoundFileDefault.hpp:147: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘*’ token

What do I have to install to have a sndfile.h ?

Graphics / Why is SFML in Debugconfiguration so slow?

« on: April 04, 2008, 03:54:40 am »

Hi
I recognized that I have a about 15 times faster output when I compile in Release mode, so debug mode is way to slow to debug what I'm doing.
(about 530 fps when showing nothing in both mode, a really small map 32*32 px per tile and 20*15 tiles(always the same tile) has about 18 fps in Debug mode and about 275 fps in Releaseconfiguration)
Is there a way to speed it up?

Graphics / Draw on wxWidgets with double-Buffering

« on: March 26, 2008, 04:54:58 pm »

Hi
I want to draw on a control with SFML and wxWidgets(I need SFML there but I also have to draw primitives like lines, so I have to use the normal wxWidgets drawing, too).
It works fine as long as I use wxPaintDC, but when I use wxBufferedPaintDC I can't draw with sfml.
But I need double buffering? What shall I do?

Graphics / Delete sf::Image in destructor?

« on: March 25, 2008, 11:04:53 pm »

Hi
I have an sf::image created with new in the constructorcode of my object.
For testing purposes I have created an std::string with new at the same location.
When I'm deleting the sf::image in the destructor I get an access violation(I'm not using this object in any place I just created and deleted it)
It's not a problem with my class, because I can delete the string without problems.
So how can I delete the sf::Image without an access violation?(I have the same problem with an Smart Pointer(boost::shared_ptr) or when not using a pointer at all.

Graphics / how do I use sf::Image::LoadFromMemory correctly?

« on: February 28, 2008, 05:35:14 pm »

I tried the following

Code: [Select]


  std::ifstream file("C:\\Main\\Tools\\RMXP\\RTP\\Graphics\\Tilesets\\001-Grassland01.png");
  int size = FileSize("C:\\Main\\Tools\\RMXP\\RTP\\Graphics\\Tilesets\\001-Grassland01.png");
  char* image = new char[size];
  file.get(image, size);
  sf::Image img;
  img.LoadFromMemory(image, size);
But it doesn't work (Image not of any known type or corrupt), the file is okay, so what do I have to do to load an image from Memory?
