I like to learn by analyzing an example (I learn better than reading tutorials)

But I tried and did not find any sample code using the CEGUI DirectX, anyone know where I find? Just create a simple box, in order to understand their proper operation

Thanks

check their samples[either from site or from svn]
they have them with dx9, opengl, dx10, dx11, irrlicht, ogre renders
in samples folder search for CEGuiD3D9BaseApplication.cpp it have everything u need

I recently integrated CEGUI into my DirectX9 game =]. It's not difficult to set up, but if you have any trouble, let me know what you need and I'll post a few samples. But generally, you really should only need to follow this link:

http://www.cegui.org.uk/docs/current/

Under beginner tutorials. Good luck.

First off, there's no real reason for you to be loading CEGUI like that.

try it like this:

CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer& myRenderer = CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer::bootstrapSystem( pDevice );//And then when you need to render....CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderGUI();

You don't need to be storing a pointer to the directx renderer. Just use the renderGUI function as I showed you above to render. If down the road, you need to acess the directx renderer for whatever reason (In my case it's for device resets) the way I do it is this:

CEGUI::Renderer *pRenderer = CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getRenderer();CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer* Renderer = static_cast<CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer*>(pRenderer);Renderer->postD3DReset();

Also, make sure you do proper error handling. In general, any CEGUI function calls you do should be enclosed in:

try{    //Do CEGUI calls here....}catch(CEGUI::Exception &e){   cout << "Error: " << e.getMessage().c_str() << endl;}

Try and adapt all I said for your need's.

I just init:

#include <CEGUI.h> #include <RendererModules\Direct3D9\CEGUIDirect3D9Renderer.h>#ifdef _DEBUG#pragma comment( lib, "CEGUIBase_d.lib" )#pragma comment( lib, "CEGUIDirect3D9Renderer_d.lib" )#else#pragma comment( lib, "CEGUIBase.lib" )#pragma comment( lib, "CEGUIDirect3D9Renderer.lib" )#endifvoid Init(){        CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer& myRenderer =             CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer::bootstrapSystem( m_pDevice );//...//...}

and I did nothing more,just that

and continues to show the error:

Get the symbols loaded or else it will be difficult to help you.

Integrate the error handling like I suggested and tell me what message come's up.

The error (message of the exception):

Quote:
CEGUI::GenericException in file c:\cegui-0.7.4\cegui\src\ceguidynamicmodule.cpp(128) : DynamicModule::DynamicModule - Failed to load module 'CEGUIExpatParser_d': Unknown Error

Magmatwister

Oct 26, 2010 at 5:17 AM

That is why you need error handling, that tells you exactly what the problem is =]
You're missing the "CEGUIExpatParser_d" dll. It should be located in the CEGUI->Bin folder, along with a load of others. I'm guessing you didn't set up CEGUI properly. Tell me what you do have inside the folder CEGUI-0.7.3\bin next time you reply.

VitaliBR

Oct 26, 2010 at 5:47 AM

The CEGUI->Bin folder:

Regarding the configuration of CEGUI in my project, I did as follows:

Project Options -> VC++ Directories -> Include Directories:
C:\CEGUI-SDK-0.7.4-vc10\cegui\include

Project Options -> VC++ Directories -> Library Directories:
C:\CEGUI-SDK-0.7.4-vc10\lib

And

#ifdef _DEBUG#pragma comment( lib, "CEGUIBase_d.lib" )#pragma comment( lib, "CEGUIDirect3D9Renderer_d.lib" )#else#pragma comment( lib, "CEGUIBase.lib" )#pragma comment( lib, "CEGUIDirect3D9Renderer.lib" )#endif

Thanks for help :)

EDIT:

I put CEGUIExpatParser_d.dll in the directory of my project and showed:...

Quote:
CEGUI::GenericException in file c:\cegui-0.7.4\cegui\src\ceguidynamicmodule.cpp(128) : DynamicModule::DynamicModule - Failed to load module 'CEGUISILLYImageCodec_d': Unknown Error

and then I put CEGUISILLYImageCodec_d.dll in the directory of my project and showed a text box (windows error) that is missing SILLY_d.dll

:(

Ugh... did you remember to put the dependencies into the System32/SysWOW64 folder? (SysWOW64 for 64bit, System32 for 32 bit)

Otherwise I'm out of idea's, but I'm pretty darn certain now that that's what the problem is.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/crayzedsgui/files/CEGUI%20Mk-2%20MSVC%2B%2B%20Dependencies/0.7.x/CEGUI-DEPS-0.7.x-r3-vc10.zip/download

Go to that link and then when it's finished, go into dependencies->bin and copy the contents, into the Windows->(SysWOW64 or System32, depending on your version of windows). Also make sure that the library files and include files from the folder are present in their respective directories in your main CEGUI folder. If you have any further problems then by all means post again, but bear in mind CEGUI does have it's own forum.

How did you do to integrate Injecting Inputs of CEGUI and DirectInput?

I'll be honest with you, I've skirted round injecting inputs, at the moment I'm only using the basic Win32 messages to do it. Sorry, can't help you there, I'm not at the point in my project where I really need to do anything for input. However, I suggest you go to the CEGUI forums like I said earlier and ask there, where you'll most likely get a better response. Also, if you look at the documentation, you'll see that it is very easy to inject inputs into CEGUI from any input library. As long as you know the basics of DirectInput you should have no problem.

Thanks for helping friend

I looked about and saw that it is not hard, I could integrate my class with CEGUI:

	//Cursor	GetCursorPos(&absCursor);	///////////////////////////////////////////////////////	// CEGUI	///////////////////////////////////////////////////////	CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMousePosition(absCursor.x, absCursor.y);	//Buttons of Mouse (Left is 0, Right is 1 and Middle is 2)	//Mouse Button Down	if(InputManager->MouseKeyDown(0))		CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonDown(CEGUI::LeftButton);	if(InputManager->MouseKeyDown(1))		CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonDown(CEGUI::RightButton);	if(InputManager->MouseKeyDown(2))		CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonDown(CEGUI::MiddleButton);	//Mouse Button Up	if(!InputManager->MouseKeyDown(0))		CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonUp(CEGUI::LeftButton);	if(!InputManager->MouseKeyDown(1))		CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonUp(CEGUI::RightButton);	if(!InputManager->MouseKeyDown(2))		CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectMouseButtonUp(CEGUI::MiddleButton);

So I get to the keyboard, I'll post here for you to see :-)

I managed to get my "hello world":

I found a very strange problem:
my game without using CEGUI:

and after using CEGUI:

I destroy CEGUI, before entering the game mode

By the way I analyzed the problem, the CEGUI have changed the buffer depth, transparency, and various other things.
I removed the CEGUI project, and it was back to normal

answered in the forum of CEGUI:

Quote:
You should setup the DX state, draw your scene, then call renderGUI, then repeat. The DX9 renderer actually does this to the device in beginRendering():

d_device->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE, D3DZB_FALSE);
d_device->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZWRITEENABLE, FALSE);

At the beginning of your rendering code, you should reenable both I guess (very little DX9 experience on my side). CEGUI never uses z buffer during it's rendering, everything gets rendered as "always pass".

I did the following settings after releasing CEGUI to draw level:

	m_pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_CCW);	m_pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE, TRUE);	m_pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZWRITEENABLE, TRUE);	m_pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_NORMALIZENORMALS, TRUE); //this normalizes the normal values (this is important for how lighting effects your models)	m_pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_AMBIENT, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255,255,255));	// Filters	m_pDevice->SetSamplerState(0, D3DSAMP_MINFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR);    m_pDevice->SetSamplerState(0, D3DSAMP_MAGFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR);    m_pDevice->SetSamplerState(0, D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER, D3DTEXF_LINEAR);	//Turn on lighting	m_pDevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_LIGHTING,  FALSE);

More trouble with the textures still (image above)

looks like UV addresses are being clamped instead of wrapped:

m_pDevice->SetSamplerState(0, D3DSAMP_ADDRESSU, D3DTADDRESS_WRAP);
m_pDevice->SetSamplerState(0, D3DSAMP_ADDRESSV, D3DTADDRESS_WRAP);

Yea that was me who asked about the depth buffer issue, I'm going to add it to the Wiki because I think it's pretty riddiculous to just expect people to "know" exactly how to fix problems like that, especially when they're new to using it. No idea how to help you on the texture problem. Scaling issue maybe?

thanks Magmatwiste

Really, it's pretty much just expect people to riddiculous to "know" exactly how to fix problems like that

My problem was solved with that Burnt_Fyr said

thanks :D

and good luck with your project :D
