From the source :

Code: Select all

TU_DEFAULT = TU_AUTOMIPMAP | TU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY
So the default is not only set to HBU_STATIC, but also to HBU_WRITE_ONLY
You are right, I had not paid attention to that. I was indeed comparing TU_DEFAULT and TU_DYNAMIC.
But I have just tried with TU_STATIC (without the write only flag), and the issue is the same: the textures are empty.

Dark_sylinc, your post makes me think that setting the HBU_DYNAMIC flag for a GUI engine would not be a very good idea, as most of the textures are static images or GUI elements that do not vary often.
However, I will try to discuss this on the CEGUI forum to know their opinion on that subject.

Anyway, there might be a bug in the D3D11 renderer when the HBU_STATIC flag is set.
I will try to push the debugging further when I get some time.

Thanks to both of you for your help! :)

According to a member of the CEGUI team, the textures are never changed after resource setup.
So this means that the TU_DEFAULT flag should be kept and it should work with the D3D11 render system.

If I do not manage to find the cause of the issue, I will try to make a sample project to reproduce the bug.

I think I have found the issue in the D3D11 render system \o/

The issue seems to come from the following statement:

Code: Select all

mDevice.GetImmediateContext()->UpdateSubresource( 
                        mParentTexture->GetTex2D(), 
                        D3D11CalcSubresource(static_cast<UINT>(mSubresourceIndex), mFace, mParentTexture->getNumMipmaps()+1),
                        &dstBoxDx11,
                        converted.data,
                        rowWidth,
                        0 );
The values contained in dstBoxDx11 seemed suspicious to me (width and height = 1), so I have tried replacing it by NULL as it is an optional parameter, and... it fixes my issue \o/

But what would be the correct way to fix it? Setting the correct values in dstBoxDx11, or leaving it to NULL as NULL copies the entire resource without offset according to the D3D11 API documentation?

Thanks!

Then you should probably find the source of the problem where width and height was set to 1 ?
But setting it to NULL would be a dirty hack (the whole point of having a destination box becomes moot)

You are right, I think I am approaching from the root cause of the issue: in the D3D11Texture class, the surfaces seem to be not updated, so the width and height coming from the surface is wrong.

In CEGUI, it seems that the texture is first created with a 1x1 size, then the following instructions are called later:

Code: Select all

    d_texture->freeInternalResources();
    d_texture->setWidth(buffer_size.d_width);
    d_texture->setHeight(buffer_size.d_height);
    d_texture->setDepth(1);
    d_texture->createInternalResources();
    d_texture->getBuffer(0,0).get()->blitFromMemory(*pixelBox);
The createInternalResources() function calls the _createSurfaceList() function, but this function does nothing as the number of surfaces has not changed, so the size of the surface is not updated.

IMHO, the surfaces list should be cleared in the D3D11Texture::freeInternalResourcesImpl() function.
By doing this, everything seems to work the way it should.

I will create a PR for this fix and see if this is okay or not :)

The pull request on the CEGUI side has been merged as well (https://bitbucket.org/cegui/cegui/pull- ... tible/diff), so the 0.8 branch of CEGUI should now be fully compatible with Ogre 2.1 :)
The only thing that is not supported yet in the CEGUI Ogre renderer is the gamma correction for textures.

Also, the changes to make CEGUI compatible with Ogre 2.1 should be reported in the default branch in CEGUI.

I have put both tasks on my To-do list, but I have absolutely no ETA :roll:

I hate to revive this thread, are there any samples of CEGUI with Ogre2.1. I'm having trouble getting the ui to render and I believe I haven't setup my hlms scripts properly.

I've gotten MyGui to work by adding the

Code: Select all

pass custom MYGUI {}
line to my compositor file but I would like to try out CEGUI.

Thanks for any advice,

I currently work to make the cegui sample framework work with Ogre 2.0/2.1.

Hi gyus. There time update to the pso OGRE, ind cegui have errors if not porting. there is not supported methods:

The code posted is calling _hlmsPipelineStateObjectCreated but never seems to call _hlmsPipelineStateObjectDestroyed, thus causing memory leaks.

Additionally, creating PSOs every frame may be performance-suboptimal, so it should not be done every frame; but it's better than nothing, I guess.

Thanks a lot @Kohedlo ! I was looking for that fix for a while...
I gave it a try with CEGUI 0.8.7, it works for me. I worked on the code a bit to address @dark_sylinc comments, but since my experience with Ogre/CEGUI on the renderer level is rather limited any suggestions are very welcome.
After looking at the code for a while, using the PsoCacheHelper could probably simplify it, I will take a peak at that later, when I have some time.

Here is what I came up with (patch for CEGUI on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/BB7CmUtw)

Any progress or solutions to this?

I've tried to interface both latest CEGUI default branch, and latest v0-8 (0.8.7) branch, with Ogre 2.1 latest, and after some tweaks to CEGUIOgreRenderer I hit this same brick wall in both cases.

More ideas?

I) Can't setup Ogre render for CEGUI SDK
I'm just starting to look at CEGui recently. and I follow this guide to setup CeGUI with Ogre 2.1 renderer, and I hit 2 problems:

1st, Even when I set the environment variables for OIS_HOME, OGRE_HOME, OGRE_SDK. CMake can't find:

Code: Select all

OGRE_RenderSystem_Direct3D11_INCLUDE_DIR,..., OGRE_RenderSystem_GL_LIBRARY_REL.
Maybe the folder structure in the script findOgre of CeGUI is pretty outdated (it's outdated for OIS, but I can fix for OIS because OIS is pretty small).
2nd, When I build CeGUI (I just ignore the missing path above), I got 15 errors:

Code: Select all

So if I'm not mistaken, CeGUI is still need to tweak a bit to work with Ogre renderer. It's not work out-of-the-box, is it?

II) Use CeGUI in Ogre project
I just want to do I) because I want to know how to use CeGUI with Ogre project, if I successfully use CeGUI in Ogre project, I can live without I)
Anyway, I can setup the default CeGUI (without Ogre renderer) and realize that: to basically use CeGUI, I just need the lib file: CEGUIBase-0.lib. If I'm not mistaken, all I need is just include this lib into my project (also some h files of CeGUI) then I can use CeGUI with Ogre. I have already made a project, which reference to this lib file, but I don't know how to show the GUI on the Ogre Window (which is created by SDL_CreateWindow())
According to this article, there are only 3 step to do this:
Crazy Eddie wrote: Create an instance of a CEGUI::Renderer based object.
Create the CEGUI::System object (passing in the renderer created above).
Each frame, call the CEGUI::System::renderAllGUIContexts function to perform the rendering.
But I don't know how to do it.

To sum up, here is my goal:
I have Ogre empty project

Code: Select all

Samples/2.0/Tutorials/EmptyProject
and CeGUI Hello World

Code: Select all

cegui/samples/HelloWorld
Goal: show CeGUI Hello World on Ogre empty project's window

Thanks for reading :)
