OGRE in QT?

Post by **Turbo24prg** » Wed Nov 26, 2003 7:53 pm

I wanted to know if it is possible to include OGRE in an QT application?

Though OGRE doesn't currently support QT, it should be possible for you to create your own QT platform manager and GLSupport class.

temas did a similar thing a few months ago with GTK, which I'd recommend you look at if you decide to undertake this.

Has there been any progress using Qt with Ogre? If so, I am highly interested!

Greetings!

I'm currently working on adding Qt support for Ogre.
I think most work is done but I still have to include some
things.

So far Ogre renders fine on a QGLWidget.

I don't yet know if Qt is a good choice for creating games
but it's great for tools like level editors, etc ....

That's so cool! Can't wait to see it! Or even better, try it

I've been using SDL drawing to a qt widget with opengl, which seems to work ~2x as fast as the plain qt widget. It's a bit of a hack but it works, it uses an environmental variable before setting up SDL - I don't know how portible it is, and you have to use qt to get key events.

This is the X version - I think there's an equivalent for windows.

char buffer[64];
sprintf(buffer, "SDL_WINDOWID=0x%lx", winId());
putenv(buffer);

I've made some progress.
Here is a screenshot of a simple Qt application with four RenderWindows and
some example controls (buttons ...)
Btw. the shot has been taken on Linux ...

Nice!!

Cooool.. How did you get those renderwindows *inside* your window? At least in OgreGTK it makes seperate windows for rendering

fraggle · Post by **fraggle** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 12:48 am

The parent of a renderwindow can be submitted by createRenderWindow()

fraggle, do you have any code we can try?
This is what I'm been looking for for several months.

Very good work indeed!!

Hi again

I initially added Qt to the core, what worked very fine.
But Sinbad suggested to make a plugin for that. I have tried
but did not succeed. Currently the core doesn't
allow to plugin another Platformmanager (what is needed for
input control with Qt widgets) Please correct me if I'm wrong with that.

Now I'm using it for my personal purposes.
But I can send you the sources by email if you like.

I would be interested in the source too. If you e-mail it to me I'll put it up on some webspace so you don't have to keep e-mailing it to people. =)

Sign me up, too - or give Clay something to host!

Really nice indeed. I'd like to play with your code. So please when someone host it, tell us

Best regards to all.

He never responded, so I can't put it up. =/

Any news concerning Ogre/Qt interaction ?
I think that would be nice to have a Qt wrapper (or plugin at least

) for Ogre.

C'mon guys, Qt is as great as Ogre (maybe more).
some code will be very appreciated fraggle

Thanks.

If anyone is still interested: I've implemented an Ogre/QT plugin. It is still a little bit buggy, but I am using it already in
my project. If there is interest, I can either email the current
code or release it somehow and will fix bugs as soon as I have
completed my project (what will be at the end of may).

Yeah. Also, may we see at least some screenies?

What about adding it to the ever growing OgreAddons

Post by **Look** » Tue May 18, 2004 11:38 am

I don't know if I can put it up in ogreaddons. I've programmed it in the same way as the GTK plugin has been programmed. But I'm open for suggestions and ideas

And here are a few screenshots:
The config dialog

And a screenshot of my application using ogre / qt.

Concerning the OgreAddons, I don't know if there people in my case,
but I can't use cvs to download things from OgreAddons since I'm behind
a http proxy

. That's also the case with badcamel's oasis.

So why not propose stable versions of the ogreaddons in the download area?

Can't you access CVS via port 80 on cvs-pserver.sf.net ?

houssem_bdioui · Post by **houssem_bdioui** » Tue May 18, 2004 1:40 pm

No, since I must provide a login and a password to access the internet
each time.

There must be something like wget and the .wgetrc config file in cvs. But in the "standard" cvs, there is not.
