Black Screen with Status bar and nothing being rendered.

[xxpokerxx]

Hi all,

I am having trouble getting my ogre project running on iOS. I am trying to port a windows project i did to iOS, I have ported all files and it is compiling and running without errors or exceptions. however all thats happening when i run the project is the screen rotates, the status bar is still showing (even though i said to hide it) and a black screen is visible. I have a multitouchlistener listening for touch and just a black screen that is not registering touch either.

I stepped through the program and it looks like my custom game loop is running. I am at a loss as to why this is not working.

has anyone ever encountered this ? also if anyone would be willing to take a look at my project i would really appreciate it I really need this running ASAP and I just cant figure out why its not working

Thanks.

Hello,

verify if you aren't "holding" the thread with an infinite loop at applicationDidFinishLaunching or somewhere else (I was getting this when calling with a main loop at this function).

Instead, for the iOS, use the renderOneFrame to just do a single frame, removing the main loop when compiling for iOS, as show:

Code: Select all

- (void)renderOneFrame:(id)sender
{
   gameApp->run();
}

and

Code: Select all

void gameClass::run()
{

#if OGRE_PLATFORM != OGRE_PLATFORM_APPLE_IOS
   while(!exit)
   {
      if(timeElapsed > UPDATE_RATE)
      {
         updateTimer.reset();
#endif

        yourloopcodehere();

        /* Update the window */
        ogreWindow->update();

#if OGRE_PLATFORM != OGRE_PLATFORM_APPLE_IOS
    }
}
#endif

Hope it helps you... (Note: I'm using Ogre 1.8. for Ogre 1.7, change OGRE_PLATFORM_APPLE_IOS for OGRE_PLATFORM_IPHONE)

I have already fixed this, and it turned out that exactly what it was, thanks anyway.
