MovableText

Hi,

I am using MovableText class as given in wiki, but when I run it , it say that it can not find bluehighway-8

Can you give me hints where to look?

bluehighway-8.font is in C:\Ogre\Samples\Media\fonts

Another person had the same problem as you in this thread: http://ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=71198

To save you time:

I've updated the wiki page with updated code and new resources. You should check it out.

Also, pick forums more carefully next time. This belongs to the Help forum.

Hi,

Still I can not make it work, using your changes on the web page.
Looking at other peoples with the same problem it looks that we are not loading properly the resources
for the fonts within the class MovableText. The class itself does not load the resources.
My question is : How can I load specifically the resources for the font BlueHighway-8. I checked that BlueHighway-8.font is at
C:/Ogre/Samples/Media/fonts
Can you help me on this?

Best regards,

How would the class know where the resources are ? You need to add the fonts folder to your resources. (The process is different depending on how you load your resources). I opened a thread related to this problem: http://ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=71210

.font is not used anymore. It's been replaced by .fontdef, the archive I attached contains a .fontdef which should fix your problem. Also copy the new version of the code I posted on the page.

Thanks again,

I modified the format of BlueHighway-8 as you said and now is working quite well.
One thing, I am using a screen resolution of 1680x1050 so charHeight in my case has to be over 30.0 to see a reasonable size text.
In the web page the program comes with charHeight=1.0

Best regards,
