Rc2 and wiki tutorials

[dmail]

Im trying to build a simple window into my app using The_Beginner_Guide_to_Creating_a_CEGUI_Window wiki entry as a reference and the rc2 build. Has this build invalidated the tutorial? would the stable release be correct for these tutorials?

fWnd->setPosition( Point( 0.25f, 0.25f ) );
fWnd->setSize( Size( 0.5f, 0.5f ) );

Generates an error as Point and Size are unrelated types compared to type UVector2 and there is no cast operator.

[edit]
Never mind I used the macro for the dim create and now get linker errors. This is taking far too long and I will look for another alternative to the library ;(

[edit edit]
That sounds a bit harsh.
I have heard many good things about the library, but the setting up of it I have heard bad comments made on forums. At the present I just wanted something quick to plugin and have so far spend the best part of a day and a half and still have no output. When I have more time I may well return to this gui(as I dont like to be beaten lol).

I have to update all my Wiki entries to RC2. I've been too busy "researching" drag and drop in a game, yes, that's it, that's what I was doing!

Hello dmail,

sorry to hear all this. Have you tried to run and modify one of the samples as a start? Maybe something is not right in your folder setup or something...

[dmail]

Well the attraction of using this gui and with the determination not to give up(after a nights sleep), I have now integrated it into my game,well I have a hello world type window in my menu .

Hello!

Is the wiki tutorials updated to 0.5.0b RC2 today?

[scriptkid]

Hello,

most of them should be, because not all functionality gets hit during version progress. My advice is to refer to the sample code (which is 0.5 compatible) when you find some tutorial code to be not compiling or something, and have a look at how things are done 'today'.

You might find differences in event handling (mainly setup) and scripting.

HTH.

And if you find on tutorial that does not compile, and fix it, please also fix the wiki tutorial. But beware, once you start updating existing tutorials it won't be long before you start creating new ones!
