Two problems with Layout Editor 0.5rc2

[Azure]

Im noticing two problems with the Layout Editor 0.5rc2...

1.) Snap to grid just doesnt seem to work. If I hit the 'g' key my windows will just hop a seemingly random amount up and to the left. They Just keep jumping till they reach the upper left corner, but at NO point do they ever allign with the grid. Is this feature just plain broken?

2.) When I try and add a MenuBar, the whole thing crashes...

CELayoutEditor.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

No errors in the log, here are the last few lines before it stops...

Any idea what could be going on? Onlything I can think of is maybe the resources arent compatible (im using the 'data files' from the latest CEGUI sdk available on the website).

Thanks in advance

Hi,

i just got back from holidays and will have a look at these issues this weekend!

[Azure]

Back to working on my gui now, but im still having trouble...

Does anyone else have these problems? They seem pretty major (unless its just me). Are there any other layout editors with a working menu bar editor and a working snap to grid feature?

Hi,

you are still using rc2 apparently? There have been two new releases of the editor already: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=194684

Can you try the 0.5b verion, which is the latest?

Thanks and good luck

[Azure]

Haha! I thought I was using the latest one but I guess not. This new version solves the menu problem and snap to grid seems to be working now! Thanks!

Onlything is I still get that "a gui scheme named taharez is already present' error when I launch. How can I get rid of that? Do I need to grab a new 'data files' folder from somewhere (I guess thats old too)?

Hi,

good to hear that the bugs are gone for you

To answer your question: the datafiles contain several files in the Schemes folder. TaharezLook.scheme, TaharezLookWidgets.scheme, TaharezLookWidgetAliases.scheme and so on. All three have the same name tag in their xml file, which caused the exceptions. I think you are fine by only keeping TaharezLook.scheme and removing the other two.

Good luck

hmm, I downloaded the 0.5b version of the windows installer and it still says RC2 in the info. Seems to work ok only I can't seem to do anything with the image parameters of the static image gadget.

Hi Evak,

yeah i forgot to update the about box, sorry for the confusion!

About the StaticImage widget; you mean the Image property right? I just checked it and if you pass it in the correct format it should work, for example try to set the value exactly to:

Code: Select all

set:WindowsLook image:MultiListSelectionBrush

This sample works with the WindowsLook. To make any image work make sure to load the imageset first. This happens automatically when it's inside a .scheme file. The 'datafiles' directory as shipped with cegui has this already setup correctly.

Good luck

ok I am sorted now. I had to spend quite a lot of time getting around some of the layout editors oddness. But it's working with my images ok thanks

[scriptkid]

okay that's good to hear. Feel free to post suggestions though
