Cegui 0.75 - "General" Ogre resource group used

[dezGusty]

Hi,

I'm using OGRE and I'm removing all default resource groups and create my own.

Code: Select all

Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::getSingleton().destroyResourceGroup("General");


While adding CEGUI support to the application, I ran across a minor issue.
I've set the default resource group to something:

Code: Select all

  std::string guiResourceGroup ("GeneralGUI");
  ceguiSysPtr_->getResourceProvider()->setDefaultResourceGroup (guiResourceGroup);


But when I create the scheme, this seems to be ignored and the missing "General" group causes a crash. I found this looking in the file
cegui\src\RendererModules\Ogre\CEGUIOgreTexture.cpp, line ~142:

Code: Select all

    // try to create a Ogre::Texture from the input data
    d_texture = TextureManager::getSingleton().loadRawData(
        getUniqueName(), "General", odc,
        buffer_size.d_width, buffer_size.d_height,
        target_fmt, TEX_TYPE_2D, 0, 1.0f);


So this forces me to use the "General" resource group. Is this a bug, or a documented limitation ? (I couldn't find anything related to this in the resource providers documentation)

Edit: If I don't delete the "General" resource group, I don't get any issues.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

I am not an OGRE user so I cannot say one way or the other, although I will say that hard-coding an OGRE resource-group-name smells like a bug to me. I would suggest making a ticket in CEGUI's bugtracker, mantis, so that the issue does not get lost on these forums only to resurface three months later with another user.

Hi Jamarr, I've tried creating a new bug, but I always get redirected from the bug report page to the "my view" page.

So I think that for the time being I'll leave this here and hope someone notices

In case this is always a requirement, here's the cegui log section:
