(solved) CELayoutEditor-0.5c runtime error (schemes missing)

[schnorr]

Hello,

I downloaded the current stable tarball of the layout editor, version 0.5c, from the links available here: http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/CELayoutEditor_Downloads_0.5.0.

After compiling it under linux, I tried to execute it. I get the following error:

Can not enumerate files in directory '/home/user/tmp/CELayoutEditor/bin/schemes/' (error 2: No such file or directory)

I checked the mentioned directory, but I found nothing named "schemes". Should this directory be present in the tarball package?
Does anyone know how to find it?

Hi,

all Cegui files are stored in a 'datafiles' directory, which was introduced in earlier versions of Cegui to provide one shared location for the samples. Because it worked pretty nice, it has became a sort of standard for the tools as well.

If you have Cegui itself installed aswell, you should find a datafiles directory under Samples.

Now on linux you should have two options:
1) use a CELAYOUTEDITOR_DATAPATH environment variable, it should be possible to 'config' this.
2) have a look at the CELayoutEditor.ini file and change the paths to all Cegui file types.

HTH! You're almost there

Hi...

So, I found the datafiles directory under the distribution of CEGUI-0.5.0.
When I execute CELayoutEditor, it asked me where is the datafiles directory.
So, I pointed it out and it show me the following error:

WindowFactoryManager::addWindowTypeAlias - alias 'Taharez AltProgressBar' could not be created because the target type 'TaharezLook/AlternateProgressBar' is unknown within the system.

under a window titlte "CELayoutEditor Error".

This is what is inside the file CELayoutEditor.ini

This is the list of files under /home/schnorr/misc/CEGUI-0.5.0/Samples/datafiles/schemes/:

schnorr@crowh:~/tmp/CELayoutEditor$ ls /home/schnorr/misc/CEGUI-0.5.0/Samples/datafiles/schemes/
Demo8.scheme TaharezLookWidgetAliases.scheme WindowsLook.scheme
GUIScheme.xsd TaharezLookWidgets.scheme WindowsLookWidgets.scheme
TaharezLook.scheme VanillaSkin.scheme
schnorr@crowh:~/tmp/CELayoutEditor$

I checked the file TaharezLook.scheme to see if the AlternateProgressBar is there, and it seems to be there:

schnorr@crowh:~/tmp/CELayoutEditor$ cat /home/schnorr/misc/CEGUI-0.5.0/Samples/datafiles/schemes/TaharezLook.scheme | grep AlternateProgressBar
<FalagardMapping WindowType="TaharezLook/AlternateProgressBar" TargetType="CEGUI/ProgressBar" Renderer="Falagard/ProgressBar" LookNFeel="TaharezLook/AltProgressBar" />
schnorr@crowh:~/tmp/CELayoutEditor$

And there is also a reference to "Taharez AltProgressBar" in the file TaharezLookWidgetAliases.scheme:

schnorr@crowh:~/tmp/CELayoutEditor$ cat /home/schnorr/misc/CEGUI-0.5.0/Samples/datafiles/schemes/TaharezLookWidgetAliases.scheme | grep "Taharez AltProgressBar"
<WindowAlias Alias="Taharez AltProgressBar" Target="TaharezLook/AlternateProgressBar" />
schnorr@crowh:~/tmp/CELayoutEditor$

I also changed the datafiles directory so the layout editor uses the one
available in the revision 1518 of the cegui trunk in SVN. It did not solve the problem.

In this case, what would be the problem, am I missing something?

Thanks again...

Hi,

can you try to delete/move these files:
-TaharezLookWidgetAliases.scheme
-TaharezLookWidgets.scheme
-WindowsLookWidgets.scheme

I think that some of these helper files have become outdated. So you should only keep:
-WindowsLook.scheme
-TaharezLook.scheme
-VanillaSkin.scheme

Good luck!

[schnorr]

I did as you said and it's working!
Thanks scriptkid.

Great!
