OpenGL and SFML 1.2

[acrin1]

Hi,

I'm wanting to setup an OpenGL viewport within my game of say a quarter of the screen and use SFMLs graphics features to be able to draw on top of this area and within the rest of the game window

In SFML 1.1 this worked just the way I've described but I've noticed with 1.2 that any images or text I display are scaled down and drawn within the OpenGL viewport.

Is this by design?

Oh and the improvements to fonts look great!

Thanks

So, you mean that SFML is using the viewport that you setup instead of its own one ?

That's weird, version 1.2 has been improved a lot regarding internal state management. I'll check this.

Yes. So if I set the pixel size of text to say 20 then this will be shrunk down to about 5 pixels on the game screen within the viewport (which is only 1/4 of the screen) instead of being drawn within the full game window at 20 pixels.

It's possible that my OpenGL code isn't correct as there are a lot of blanks in my knowledge but I suspect this isn't the case.

I can post a screenshot later if that would help or send you my example project / code.

Thanks.

There's an example here:

Here is a slightly amended version of the OPenGL sample that produces the shot above:

    // Create a sprite for the background
    sf::Image BackgroundImage;
    if (!BackgroundImage.LoadFromFile("data/sky2.png"))
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    sf::Sprite Background(BackgroundImage);

    // Load an OpenGL texture.
    // We could directly use a sf::Image as an OpenGL texture (with its Bind() member function),
    // but here we want more control on it (generate mipmaps, ...) so we create a new one
    GLuint Texture = 0;
    {
        sf::Image Image;
        if (!Image.LoadFromFile("data/crate.png"))

I've just fixed it. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Thanks for the quick solution. I managed to download and recompile the grpahics library and everything seems to work fine.

Thanks.
