Window / help setting fullscreen resolution with view.

« on: February 29, 2012, 07:44:17 pm »

Hello,

In window mode, I create the window, then I can scale it with setsize, and it scales the internal view perfectly. Allowing me to initially create a window to the size of my background and images, then have them all scaled up. In full screen mode I am struggling to do the same.

Here is my code;

Code: [Select]




////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Headers
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// Entry point of application
///
/// \return Application exit code
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
sf::Texture texBack;
texBack.LoadFromFile("introback.bmp");
sf::Sprite sprBack;
sprBack.SetTexture(texBack);

//current video mode
sf::VideoMode DesktopMode = sf::VideoMode::GetDesktopMode();

    // Create the main rendering window
sf::RenderWindow App; //(sf::VideoMode(320, 224, 32), "SFML Graphics", sf::Style::None);
sf::View view;
App.Create(sf::VideoMode(320, 220, DesktopMode.BitsPerPixel), "SFML Graphics", sf::Style::None);
view = App.GetView();
//App.Create(sf::VideoMode(DesktopMode.Width / 2, DesktopMode.Height / 2, DesktopMode.BitsPerPixel), "SFML Graphics", sf::Style::Fullscreen);
App.Create(sf::VideoMode(DesktopMode.Width, DesktopMode.Height, DesktopMode.BitsPerPixel), "SFML Graphics", sf::Style::Fullscreen);
[color=red] view.SetSize(320 * 2, 220 * 2);
view.SetCenter(320 , 220 );
App.SetView(view);[/color]

    // Start game loop
    while (App.IsOpened())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event Event;
        while (App.PollEvent(Event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
                App.Close();
        }

        // Clear the screen with red color
        App.Clear();

App.Draw(sprBack);
        // Display window contents on screen
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}



The image is 320, 220, and I want it, so when I go to full screen, it scales with the window, no matter what resolution.

now I can not get it to do this, it always just rebuilds the view and my background is tiny,

UNLESS... I add these

Code: [Select]


[color=red] view.SetSize(320 * 2, 220 * 2);
view.SetCenter(320 , 220 );
App.SetView(view);[/color]


320 * 2 is not even my monitor res.....which is 2560x1440

which make no sense to me? and mess up window sizing anyway.

Also if I want to place a sprite at the edge of the window...should I use ;

   return Window.ConvertCoords(Window.GetWidth() , Window.GetHeight());

or the view size?

Feature requests / Better input support

« on: February 14, 2012, 03:02:55 pm »

I thought I would write it here, so it's not forgotten,

maybe a roadmap would be helpful for the website?


While we wait for better keymaps, more keys and maybe better named joystick keys.

Really annoying right now, how can I make anything for release which might fail on its input?


Is there anything that we can do?

Not sure I want to go including a separate input library...not that I actually found one that is not tied to orge :\

General / Trouble loading font ttfs from stream.

« on: February 14, 2012, 02:45:00 pm »

Hey, all my images and data files load from a stream fine. apart from fonts, though they are being done in the same way.


I'm using the physfs class from the wiki.

this loads my font

Code: [Select]

const sf::Font * imageManager::getFont( const sf::String& filename )
{
if(filename.GetSize() < 1)
{
return &sf::Font::GetDefaultFont();
}

// Check, whether the image already exists
std::map<sf::String, sf::Font>::iterator it = fontResources.find(filename);
if(it != fontResources.end())
{
return &it->second;
}

CGameEngine &Game = CGameEngine::getInstance();

sf::String fontpath("fonts/");
fontpath += filename;
std::string s(fontpath);

if(PHYSFS_exists(fontpath.ToAnsiString().c_str()))
{
sf::Font font;
sf::physfs fontstream(fontpath.ToAnsiString().c_str());

// Search project's main directory
if( font.LoadFromStream(fontstream) )
{
fontResources[filename] = font;
//std::cout << "DEBUG_MESSAGE: " << filename << " loading image.\n";
return &fontResources[filename];
}
}

Game.consolePrint("Failed loading font \"" + fontpath + "\"");
return &sf::Font::GetDefaultFont();
}



this fails

Code: [Select]


if( font.LoadFromStream(fontstream) )


fontstream returns TRUE and not NULL.

if(PHYSFS_exists(fontpath.ToAnsiString().c_str()))
returns true, it exists.


The images, textures is exactly the same, BUT it loads

Code: [Select]


if(texture.LoadFromStream(imagestream) )
{




This is what loads the file:

Code: [Select]


sf::physfs::physfs(const char *filename){
    file = PHYSFS_openRead(filename);
    error = false;
    if (file == NULL){
        sf::Err() << PHYSFS_getLastError() << std::endl;
        error = true;
    }
}


PHYSFS_openRead, file is valid.

Any suggestions?

I tried loading the font from file, works fine.

General / Extend keyboard input keys

« on: February 11, 2012, 10:01:19 pm »

Hey everyone.

I would like to add some keys, namely the ` key

that's the little one next to the 1 key, `

As I would like it for my console bind, all my keys have a custom bind system, but that key I really miss having for console.

Graphics / ARGB to RGBA or another method?

« on: December 23, 2011, 05:57:01 pm »

Hello I have a buffer in ARGB format. I am trying to bind it to a texture, sprite for display.


bitmap_in = sourceBuffer    
ARGB buffer with width/height of sourceBufferRect

Code: [Select]




if (!Image.LoadFromPixels(bitmap_rect.width(),bitmap_rect.height(), bitmap_in))
{
    // Error...
}



LoadFromPixels(w, h, PointerToPixelsInMemory);
Please note that when you load an image from memory, pixels must have a specific format, which is 32-bits RGBA.


I think I can bind them to opengl textures, but I don't regally want to do taht.

Is there a way in SF to load, translate the format?

anyone know of a good way, I am struggling to find much conversion information.

Edit: you know I'm sure you can do this at opengl level with parameters...maybe there is a way in SFML to just supply those parameters?

void glReadPixels(   GLint     x,
    GLint     y,
    GLsizei     width,
    GLsizei     height,
    GLenum     format,
    GLenum     type,
    GLvoid *     data);

though not looked how loadpixel works. I assume it just sets a format?
