[WIP] Ogre Toolbox

[MadLion]

If i get the toolbox running on my linux box i could implement some code.

Yesterday evening i tried to compile within kdevelop, but it faild with strange errors. The simple demos from wxWidgets are fine.

What version of wxWidgets did you use?

[Mr. Turner]

I use the stable version (2.4.2).

If you manage to compile it on linux, let me know.

Mr. Turner

[Mr. Turner]

I got the terrain working now by checking if it->movable is Null. It isn't in the precompiled dir for now.

Thanks MadLion for pointing me in the right direction.

I'll update this probably tomorrow and I will also set up http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogretoolbox

After some code changes i manage to compile it now on linux, but i get a segmentation fault while starting...
After checking the backtrace, the problem must to do with the global new in OgreMemoryManager.h.

Code: Select all

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Overridden global new([])/delete([]) functions
//
inline void *operator new( size_t count )
{
    return Ogre::MemoryManager::sMemManager.allocMem( "", 0, count );
}

But currently i don't know why.

MadLion, a strategically clever placed #include <OgreNoMemoryManager.h> might help here. Can you provide a stack trace?

[MadLion]

Oh i missed that there is somethink like this, thanks. I will try it.

If i'm back home i will provide a stacktrace.

[MadLion]

Here is the backtrace.

Code: Select all

I tried to place #include <OgreNoMemoryMacros.h> after ogre header includes, but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe i'm wrong.

[haffax]

I do not know wxwindows, but it seems to me, that embracing the wxwindows includes with #include <OgreNoMemoryMacros.h> ... #include <OgreMemoryMacros.h>. No guarantee though. Such memory allocation bugs are annoying.

[jacmoe]

Try :

Code: Select all

#include <OgreStuff>
 #include <OgreNoMemoryMacros.h>
 #include <WXWindowsStuff>
 #include <OgreMemoryMacros.h>
 

[MadLion]

I found the error. ^^
It seems to be not a memory macro problem.
Its a wxwidgets problem. See documentation http://www.wxwindows.org/manuals/2.4.2/ ... xstaticbox

Code: Select all

Please note that a static box should not be used as the parent for the controls it contains, instead they should be siblings of each other. Although using a static box as a parent might work in some versions of wxWindows, it results in a crash under, for example, wxGTK.

So this

Code: Select all

wxStaticBox *sbSkyBoxSettings = new wxStaticBox(this,-1,"Skybox settings",wxPoint(5,60),wxSize(240,130));
new wxStaticText(sbSkyBoxSettings,-1,"Skybox:",wxPoint(10,20));

is not right.
I replaced it with

Code: Select all

new wxStaticText(this,-1,"Skybox:",wxPoint(10,20));

and now it compiles and runs so far.
But the layout is not right.

Another problem i is that the ogre renderwindow is not embedded, it's an extra window.

[Mr. Turner]

Hi MadLion

Thanks for the tip. I'll change that.

Changes:
* 0.1 RC1 is progressing and I'm updating the Grid with properties to a PropertiesGrid (like the one in .Net and in Chronos).
* I switched to wxWidgets 2.5.4.
* Site has been launched http://ogretoolbox.sf.net

These changes are not in the zip here on the forum, but will be in the 1.0 RC release. All that's left to do is to convert the object properties to the new propertygrid.

Can I change the SceneManager at Runtime as the Exterior scene manager is complaining on Ray Queries in scenes with no terrain?

Mr. Turner

[MadLion]

Hi Mr. Turner,

maybe i could provide the changes and makefiles i have made to compile it on linux.

* Site has been launched http://ogretoolbox.sf.net

I have problems to register there. I didn't get the registration email.

When will you submit files to CVS? Will you?

[Mr. Turner]

Hmm

I activated you manually.

You can login now.

For the makefiles, that would be great.

Thanks for your support

[EDIT] Yes 0.1 RC1 will be in the cvs [/EDIT]

Mr. Turner

[MadLion]

I activated you manually.

Thanks i can login now.

For the makefiles, that would be great.

Could you give me the current source?
I would like to do my changes on the current source.
Or should i use the last source you provided?

[Mr. Turner]

Please wait till the next release as I changed quite a lot (see PropertiesGrid)
If all goes well, it should go up tomorrow.

[EDIT] I just got the entities done. Lights are for tomorrow.[/EDIT]

[MadLion]

Fine i will waiting. ^^

[Mr. Turner]

0.1 RC1 has been released. Check the website for download info
