Hi,
this is my first try with CEGUI and i'm already stuck. I always receive a exception when i'm tryng to load the scheme. I just followed the tutorials and I fail :oops:

This is what i do

Code: Select all

// GUI is OpenGL and is initialized

CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer * renderer = new CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer (0, width, height); // this works
new CEGUI::System (renderer); // this works

// I have added the following code found in the CEGUIOpenGLBaseApp
CEGUI::DefaultResourceProvider* rp = (CEGUI::DefaultResourceProvider*)
    (CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getResourceProvider());

  rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("schemes", "../datafiles/schemes/");
  rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("imagesets", "../datafiles/imagesets/");
  rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("fonts", "../datafiles/fonts/");
  rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("layouts", "../datafiles/layouts/");
  rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("looknfeels", "../datafiles/looknfeel/");
  rp->setResourceGroupDirectory("lua_scripts", "../datafiles/lua_scripts/");
// all is success full.

try
{
CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().loadScheme("../datafiles/schemes/TaharezLook.scheme");
} 
catch(CEGUI::Exception &ex)  
{
    CEGUI::String strDesc = ex.getMessage();
}

the Message i receive is "Default ResourceProvider::load - TaharezLook.scheme does not exist".

What am i missing, I really don't see it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome,

you are almost there

When calling the 'setResourceGroupDirectory' methods you tell CEGUI where to find files of that type. That already includes a path. So you should load you scheme without the path information, like this:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().loadScheme("TaharezLook.scheme");

Otherwise it will try to find "../datafiles/schemes/TaharezLook.scheme" in the "../datafiles/schemes/" direcory which i won't be able too

This 'rule' goes for all files which you set resourcedirectories for, so make sure that none of your other XML files contain path information. Double-check your Imagesets and such.

Good luck!
