General / current SVN version: samples Socket Build Problem

« on: April 11, 2008, 12:17:34 pm »

Well, got nothing to do with the sockets.. but in  the current SVN versions postprocessing isn't working anymore.
The sf::PostFX::CanUsePostFX()  returns false, altough PostFX works (mostly) quite well. If I runn the post FX sample it says: "no post FX for you dude" but if I remove the check, PostFX works.. (except for the blur... )
Im running a Ubuntu system with a Nvidia 7600 GT. I even did turn of compix etc, so its not the windowmanagers fault.

It would be pretty cool, if there would be the possibility of making a String bold/italic.

As the titel says, I would love to have platform independent file open / save dialogs.. Any chance??

General discussions / SFML but 3d

you should have a look at Irrlicht... Its way less complex but ogre  (tbh its less powerfull, too) But its capable of loading a whole bunch of Fileformats, supports shaders and all the stuff... + realy easy to use

Graphics / ImageManager

« on: March 17, 2008, 02:29:07 pm »

did you test, on which delete it crashes??

I did something very much the same in the "sone suggestions" post (though its totaly useless, since one can only import it to a singel file.. but the principle is the same^^) and make you imageManager a singleton (via static members..)

adding a vector class is a great thing(I wouldn't work with SFML if it hasn't got one) but there must be the way of using multible parameters..
(at least for SetPosition etc) maybe not for Shape::Rec(*4floats here*other stuff)..

SFML projects / Particles!

« on: March 09, 2008, 04:12:55 pm »

well, thats what I thought^^ just wondering;) cause I was thinking about doing some particles for my game and was not sure  wether it would be fast enought to render a few hundret sprites.. (In fact 3000 are no problem at hmm 30-60 FPS on my old machine with compiz desktop->even slower^^)

well, I prefer to write SetPosition(10.0f,10.f) to write SetPosition(sf::Vec2F(10.0f,10.0f)) that simple.. and is way faster passing two flaots but a struct with two floats to a function.
floats will be pushed on the stack, but for structs only a pointer is pushed so one derefering is needed (though this a very minor thingy..) well, mostly cause it looks better and its more easy  to write  :roll:  :oops:

do you use direct openGL calls for rendering??

some other stuff:
Make GetWidth etc available again... the user should be able to use vectors, but not forced (for example working with a physics engine suxx if one always have to convert different vector types)

Add normalize() dotProduct() crossProduct() getLength() getLengthSQ() and maybe getAngle (vec1,vec2) //gets the angle between two vectors
to the vector class

Ok.. implemented my own simple imageManager..

Code: [Select]


#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace sf;
using namespace std;
static map<string, Image> images;

Image * RequestImage(string name)
{
  map<string, Image>::iterator iter = images.find(name);
  if( iter != images.end() )
  {
  return &(iter->second);
  }
  else
  {
  Image tmp;
  images[name]=tmp;
  if(images[name].LoadFromFile("data/gfx/"+name))
  {
  return &images[name];
  }
  else
  {
  return NULL;
  }
  }
}

void DropImage(string name)
{
images.erase(name);
}




usage:
#include "nameImageManagerFile.hpp"

sf::Image *gun=RequestImage("gun.png"); //if already loaded, will return       pointer to the old instance
DropImage("gun.png"); //of not used anymore
All grafics have to stay in data/gfx/ (but you cann simply change the path^^)
