How to see if a resource group exists?

[Zeal]

Is there anyway to check and see if a resource group already esists? I tried..

Code: Select all

Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::getSingleton().getResourceDeclarationList( "GroupName" );

But it crashes if the resource group doesnt exists.

The reason I want this feature is so I can easily tell if a resource group has already been initialised when my app reloads, or switches game states, ect...

You can always extend the above with "try{}catch(...){}" to get the desired effect, though it might be worth a patch if such a function not already exists.
At least I don't know one.

Use getResourceGroups, and go through the list you get to check if it exists.

A quick function, not sure if it works though.

Code: Select all

bool groupExists( Ogre::String &group )
{
	Ogre::StringVector groupNameList = Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::getSingleton().getResourceGroups(); 
	Ogre::StringVector::iterator resGroupIter = groupNameList.begin(); 

	for(;resGroupIter < groupNameList.end();resGroupIter++)
	{ 
		Ogre::String resGroupName = (*resGroupIter); 
		if( resGroupName == group )
		{
    			return true;
 		} 
	}
	return false;
}

Yeah I thought about writing a little function like that to iterate through the groups.

I was hoping there would be a built in command, but this will work I guess.
