The New Ogre Wiki

[Beauty]

I want to extend the page Help - Wiki Plugins, but I have problems.

The preview works, but when I try to save the changes, I just see a completely empty page.

Here is the code, which I want to add as sub chapter of the VERSIONS section.

Jacmoe, do you know what's the problem?
It's just frustating.

Code: Select all

!!Tabbed source code view 
The "versions" you can use to display source code snippets for different programming langues. It also supports specific syntax highlighting.

__This is a STUB for C# and VB:__

%beginsmall%Important 1: For usage __remove the underscores__!%endsmall%
%beginsmall%Important 2: It's normal when the preview looks a little bit strange. After page saving the tabbing works.%endsmall%
{CODE()}
{__VERSIONS(nav="y",default="C#")}
{__CODE(wrap="1", colors="C#")}

... C# code here ...

{__CODE}

---(VB.NET)--------------------------

{__CODE(wrap="1", colors="vbnet")}

... VB code here ...

{__CODE}
{__VERSIONS}
{CODE}

It will look like this:
{VERSIONS(nav="y",default="C#")}
{CODE(wrap="1", colors="C#")}

// C# code example
Console.WriteLn("Hello Ogre user")

{CODE}

---(VB.NET)--------------------------

{CODE(wrap="1", colors="vbnet")}

' VB code example
Console.WriteLn("Hello Ogre user")

{CODE}
{VERSIONS}

hey!

just worked through most of the tutorials for getting an impression on ogre and found that in the intermediate tutorial4 the method "void IntermediateTutorial4::deselectObjects()" is not removing the objects from the list("mSelected"), so the list just grows with every new volumeselect.

on more thing is in intermediate tutorial3

Code: Select all

char name[16];
sprintf(name, "Robot%d", mCount++);
Entity *ent = mSceneMgr->createEntity(name, "robot.mesh");

u could use something like

Code: Select all

Ogre::stringstream ss;
ss << "Robot" << mCount++;
Entity *ent = mSceneMgr->createEntity(ss.str(), "robot.mesh");

its more c++'ish:p

hope this is the right place to post this?

nice engine and good tutorials though!

Thanks for your feedback.

I hope, somebody will apply your suggestion.
I don't do it, because my C++ knowledge is bad. (Instead I use C# and Mogre.)

Technically you don't even need the name bit, the code could become:

Code: Select all

Entity *ent = mSceneMgr->createEntity("robot.mesh");

Ogre used to need unique names on everything, now it will generate ones itself if you don't give it one (works for scenenodes too).

Or the way intermediate tutorial 4 might be better:

Code: Select all

Ogre::Entity* ent = mSceneMgr->createEntity("Robot" + Ogre::StringConverter::toString(i+j*10), "robot.mesh");

Less lines of code than string streams or sprintf and still has custom names.

I still tend to use sprintf instead of string streams. Partly a habit from years of C coding, partly the memory of how Visual C++ 2005 (before service pack 1) leaked 4 bytes on memory every time a string stream (or any stream class) goes out of scope.

char name[16];
sprintf(name, "Robot%d", mCount++);
Entity *ent = mSceneMgr->createEntity(name, "robot.mesh");

I wanted to replace it by the second suggestion of Kojack, but as I see the code is still like that (on this wiki page). The last wiki page edit was last year. So I wonder where you found the code. Perhaps in the OgreSDK?
