Problem with image loading!

[cpl]

Hi!

I have 2 pics that i want to use on a sprite. One of the pics is 100x100 and the other is 50x50 pixels.

Code: [Select]


sfImage image1;
sfImage image2;
   
image1.LoadFromFile("image1.bmp");
image2.LoadFromFile("image1.bmp");
   
sfSprite sprite(image1);

sprite.SetImage(image2);


When i'm trying to set a new image the the size doesn't change. So when i use sprite.SetImage(image2) the size is still the same size of image1. How do i do to set the size so it's the same as image2?

You could try the Scale(float Factor) method in the sfSprite class.

Like so

Code: [Select]


sfImage image1;
sfImage image2;
   
image1.LoadFromFile("image1.bmp");
image2.LoadFromFile("image1.bmp");
   
sfSprite sprite(image1);

sprite.Scale(0.5f);
sprite.SetImage(image2);

[cpl]

No, that didn't work. When I'm drawing the sprite the image2 pic is displayed
4 times. When i tried scaling it there was no difference except it's all getting smaller.

Thanks for the quick reply, though.

Ok, this is the method that should work.

SetSubRect(const sfIntRect& SubRect)

Code: [Select]


sfImage image1;
sfImage image2;
   
image1.LoadFromFile("image1.bmp");
image2.LoadFromFile("image1.bmp");
   
sfSprite sprite(image1);

sfIntRect SubRect;
SubRect.Left = 0;
SubRect.Top = 0;
SubRect.Bottom = 50;
SubRect.Right = 50;

sprite.SetSubRect(SubRect);
sprite.SetImage(image2);


[cpl]

Yes, that did the job! Thanks a lot!

No problem mate.

I don't think this is the good solution. What you do is having a 100x100 image and taking only the first 50x50 part...

My first question is :
- Why are you using the same sprite to draw 2 images ?

I was going to have questioned his methods but I thought I'd rather provide a working and very valid solution to his problem, in the style of his code to save arguement.

Although I do agree with you that the simple solution is to create a new Sprite for each image.

Well, I'm making a simple pong game and i want the paddles to be able to change size.
Perhaps it's better to use diffrent sprites for the different sizes instead of different images?

(I have always used this way when i'm doing applications in SDL and it's working fine)

Ok, this seems to be a better way of doing it. I guess I'll have to rewrite some code  :evil: .

I really think that the best to do is to have different paddles on the image, and with the subRect sprite method, you can easily change the sprite displayed on the screen :

Code: [Select]


sfImage image("mypaddles.bmp");
sfSprite paddle;

paddle.SetImage (image);

//using the first paddle
// from (0,0) to (50,50)
paddle.SetSubRect(sfIntRect(0,0,50,50));
...
//Later in game, use the second paddle
// from (50,0) to (150,50) (same height, but larger)
paddle.SetSubRect(sfIntRect(50,0,150,50));


with this, you have only one image, and only one psrite, no ?

Actually I've managed to solve the problem without altering my previous code.

Code: [Select]


if(paddleLeft->changeSize())
{
     delete paddleLeft;
     paddleLeft = new Paddle(image2,newXPos,newYPos);
}


Thanks for all the replys!
