CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Heya CEGUI guys,

I have an error loading a font in Secret Maryo Chronicles which only happens in release mode. I tried compiling without STLPort and with and messed with the initialization but no luck

Debug works and if i start the game from VS with debugging i also have no errors ...
same error on Linux in release.

cegui error log :

hope you guys can help us

The error you're getting indicates that your graphics hardware does'nt support a texture big enough to hold the glyphs you want to use.

There's not really much you can do except make the font size smaller. or upgrade your hardware.

You would probably want to check the size returned by CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer::getMaxTextureSize and make sure it fits your hardware (256 would indicate a bug somewhere if you have geforce/radeon), you could try a different driver in cases like that.

I think my hardware should be ok :

AMD Athlon XP 3.0 GHz
1 GB Ram
Radeon 9000 Pro DDR ( 128 MB )

The Linux Hardware was a newer Geforce ...

[EDIT]
Will try the getMaxTextureSize now

It now works if the Renderer and System gets initialized after SDL_SetVideoMode but it's only needed in release.

My MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is 2048.

How can i create a Xerces XML parser in my application and pass it over the System initialization ?

Cool

You will always want to create the renderer and system after calling SDL_SetVideoMode. The OpenGLRenderer needs a working OpenGL window at creation, and obviously getMaxTextureSize does not work if there is no GL context.

To use Xerces win32 you must edit include/CEGUIConfig.h.
There's a define to use xerces. Uncomment it.

On Linux it will be used by default if you have xerces-c installed.

Thanks for your help

everything works now
