SFML wiki / Re: Game Engine tutorial

@GatorQue

Thanks for the quick response! That was incredibly helpful and much more thorough than anything else I found, I was able to get it working, and once I actually did everything correctly, it worked impressively well. Thanks again and great work with GQP, just, perhaps consider copying that post to the project's page. It's also probably worth making it explicitly clear that dependencies are set in in the cmake options file in the following format

set(MYAPP_DEPS SFML GQE)

maybe by making them the default  in the skeleton project, or leaving a comment explicitly showing the format. I was a bit thrown off by this because I was expecting to pass a comma separated list of values, or a statement for each dependency, or something similar.

Now I've just got to modify my code to use the new Asset Manager, and start looking into what the Entity Module does

@GatorQue

Does the latest version of GQP (0.11.1 currently) support the SFML 2 RC?
Also, will there be any more documentation or tutorials coming? I have been trying literally for months to use your engine, but without any knowledge of CMake, or much of anything outside of Visual Studio, I've only ever been able to get a single project to compile and link to GQE, and I can only do it in debug mode, and I had to remove large portions of the engine to do it.

Even after seeking out general tutorials for CMake, I can't seem to find the information I need to make things work. I really hoped GQP would be the answer to my problems, but despite following the limited instructions to the best of my ability, I just get a wall of CMake errors I don't understand.

There's a really odd discrepancy in how everything seems to aimed at beginners and simplifying the process, while the actual execution and documentation seems to be aimed at people who know exactly what's going on, what everything is, and how everything SHOULD look if configured correctly, and GQP is just a time-saver for them.

For instance from the GQP readme

Step 3: Open up the Options.cmake file in this new folder and adjust the
project settings to your liking. Don't forget to enable the project to be
built! This includes specifying the 3rd party/external libraries you need and
their find_package modules you require. The name of the dependencies is the
same name as the folder found in the 3rdparty folder (except all in caps).

Nowhere in the project are any examples of what these statements might look like, even in the "example project" folder, there's nothing specified. Its just assumed the user is already familiar with CMake.

Despite the trouble I've had, I have to say I really do like the engine, it's worked really well where I've gotten it to work, I just need a bit more hand-holding to get things setup.

System / sf::Vector3i not working in std::pair?

Thanks! Got it working now

System / sf::Vector3i not working in std::pair?

« on: February 18, 2012, 05:33:35 am »

I'm receiving this error:

Error   1   error C2678: binary '<' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'const sf::Vector3i' (or there is no acceptable conversion)   c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xfunctional   125

The only place in my game I'm using a const Vector3i (and non-coincidentally the place I was working on when this error was introduced) is in a TileManager class, subclassed from a Templated ResourceManager

Code: [Select]


//Shortcut for string & Tile reference & location
typedef std::pair<sf::Vector3i, Tile&> TileInfo;

class TileManager : public sftools::ResourceManager<Tile, TileInfo, sf::Vector3i>
{
public:
const sf::Vector3i& Load(const TileInfo& locator)
{
// Add the Texture to the manager
Add(locator.first, locator.second);
// Return the XYZ location
return locator.first;
}
};


The ResourceManger base class I'm deriving TileManager from is this one from the wiki.

If anyone knows what could be causing the error, I would appreciate any help you could give

General / SFML 2 quit linking? VS2010

« on: February 16, 2012, 04:42:53 pm »

Wow, ok, I feel rather stupid now.

I was following the SFML Coder tutorial, just incorrectly. All of the files being in the same folder (the one you point VS to for a library directory) isn't the problem, I just forgot to go into Linker->Input and specify the additional dependencies .

I downloaded the latest 2.0 snapshot last night, 'g091fbd9' and built it to be sure it wasn't a problem with my previous build.

I'm having the same problem mentioned in this thread.

I tried to implement this resource managers from the wiki, and ever since it stopped linking.

Graphics / SFML 2.0 sf::View::Move not accepting parameters

« on: February 13, 2012, 07:02:11 pm »

Hello all!

I just downloaded and built the latest version of SFML 2.0 this morning (Version - 196-ge3d75f6) on 32bit Windows XP, and now sf::View::Move is not accepting an sf::Vector2f. Below is the offending code, where window is a sf::RenderWindow, and viewMoveSpeed and tileSize are ints:

Code: [Select]


sf::Vector2f offset(0, (viewMoveSpeed * tileSize));
window->GetDefaultView().Move(offset);


Am I missing something here, or could this be a recently introduced bug?

Thanks for you time!
