General / Re: Problems with ctime when including Audio

« on: February 17, 2014, 03:40:11 am »

we can get the thing to build if we first create a new project with only SFML and then import the rest of our code

Why not just do that then?

Graphics / Re: Check if draw over something

This is certainly not complete and minimal code

You said that the Tower class does nothing. The towers vector is instances of Tower. You check the bounding box of the towers vector. This means that you are checking the bounding box of nothing.

I don't understand your problem/question. Sprites don't have .contains methods. It compares a rectangle with a point.

I don't think this is a problem that is related to SFML.
However, I'd try:

std::clock_t time

instead of:

clock_t time

Would help next time if you posted some code

Graphics / Re: Shader is running really slow. Not sure what it is.

I run this code without any alterations and it was saying that I was getting around 300 FPS

Audio / Re: Applying echo effect using sfml audio

« on: February 17, 2014, 02:42:25 am »

Replaying the sound buffer in more sound objects is one possible way of doing it (and probably the easiest). You could also mix the echo into the sound buffer itself (either externally, or internally - real-time or not).

Since you tried the former method, could you tell us what exactly you call a fail?

SFML website / Re: maybe tone down the white background a bit

« on: February 15, 2014, 10:38:33 pm »

White is a perfectly acceptable background for text (especially black text). If your monitor is displaying whites that are too bright for you, you should set up your monitor. Try warm tones

Graphics / Re: Drawing sf::Text in nested loop

« on: February 15, 2014, 09:19:06 pm »

You should remove code that isn't a part of your problem. It should be complete and minimal. This is certainly not minimal, and - since it doesn't compile - I'd say it doesn't count as complete either.

EDIT: I commented the two external requirements (cLander.h and cSurf.h), and replaced the font filename with one I have and it works fine. It's possible that your font is failing to load. If you didn't use "FreeConsole", you would've seen that

Audio / Re: Sf::Sound for music

« on: February 15, 2014, 09:02:25 pm »

I'm currious as to why sf::Music couldn't be used???

...a reason i can't explain here...

Sounds ominous, doesn't it?

Ok, so I've done that and I've gave to documentation a good seeing to but none of it seems to have remedied the visual artifacts seen in the second screenshot.

I have to ask. Are all three (clear, draw, display) now outside of this conditional:

if(clock.getElapsedTime().asMilliseconds() >= updateRate)
{
}

You could also use negative outlines where it goes into the fill.

Good Idea! Didn't know that this is possible

It's all here. 
I'd forgotten about this, actually. I got mixed up with line drawing which expands from the centre 

EDIT: fixed the link. Thanks to Giblit for pointing out the error

I'm only calling window.display() once every update as it seems pointless to call it if nothing has changed.

You should be, on every loop, be calling clear, draw, and display. Get used to it; it works wonders

General / Re: Vector of projectile sprites problem

« on: February 13, 2014, 08:59:34 pm »

In fact, you should call clear, display, AND draw each time (in order: clear, draw, display), regardless of whether the clock is telling you to update the position.

And I thought It couldn't get more complicated anymore...

I did say that the more accurate you want it, the more involved it becomes

Could you post a complete and minimal piece of code that you still have the problem with? Then, other people can test it.
