Use of Chinese font - causes error ?

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 09:03:08 +0000

Hi,

I have a font of roughly 20mb that I'd like to use for chinese / jap / korean languages.

It works fine in the editor, but when i try to build, it has error 1023
and another one where it creates 80m images ?

i have reduced it slowly, and it seems that 1 font using this type is fine, but anymore than 1 and it causes the issue seen in the screenshot.

i can share the font if needed

glitch with text extra

Sat, 28 Oct 2023 20:52:20 +0000

Hi,

It seems that there is a glitch with text extra when on a (gui) Text with autoline.

depending on the size of the window, part of the text disappear.

it is not caused by the size of the Text rect, as you can see the text above is fully drawn, it just is missing letters are a certain x ratio, and reappears at others

I do use a lot of Extra, since i have a fade in per word, so it goes color, word, color, word, color...

Blur color on panel editor glitch

Sat, 26 Feb 2022 23:35:17 +0000

Hi,

it seems that the blur color now matter in ways that it shouldn't, even if at 0% opacity anything not set as black colour will cause the panel image to not draw.

Custom shaped Progress Bar

Tue, 06 Apr 2021 09:30:06 +0000

Hi all,

I'm in the process of updating the GUI "progressbar" to my own custom progress bar which is not rectengular shaped. I am quite stuck at the moment on this part of the GUI.

The example images are added as attachment.

I have tried changing parameters in the default GUI Skin, yet to no avail. I think that I will have to extend the progress bar and add a layer mask to it as was done in the tutorial... Is this the correct way?

Text Line break

Fri, 04 Dec 2020 19:56:21 +0000

Hi,

I have all my text stored in a file we call it "lang_data.txt" as example:

DST_GAME_CONFIRM_BUY_ITEM=`Do you want to buy:\n`

This is stored in a map. DST_GAME_CONFIRM_BUY_ITEM is the key.

Now if I wanna create EE::Text with the text "Do you want to buy:\n" then the \n is not creating a new line. But it just shows like this

Untitled.jpg (Size: 5.1 KB / Downloads: 42)

Is there a way to fix this? I also tried with .code() but it's the same result.

If I do like this Str text = S + DST_GAME_CONFIRM_BUY_ITEM + "\n"

then the \n is working fine

Get GUI Object name

Fri, 23 Oct 2020 17:15:39 +0000

Hi,

how can I get the name from a button?

Untitled.jpg (Size: 50.38 KB / Downloads: 43)

This is what I mean with name.
Im only able to get the text and typename returns Button.
Is that somehow possible?

EDIT: To explain what Im trying to do.
Im working on a skilltree and to figure out which skill can be trained/upgraded, I loop my buttons from the GUI.
Then I want to use TextInt func to change text to int and find if I have that skill or not.

Example:

Code:

C MembConst& buttons = m_gui_lifeskill.button();

FREP(buttons.elms())

{

UInt skillId = EE::TextUInt(buttons[i].name); // to do: get button name defined in GUI

}

Sat, 13 Jun 2020 03:21:13 +0000

List using LDM_RECT

Sat, 04 Jan 2020 05:20:43 +0000

Hey,

I am trying to get my LIST with "LDM_RECT" mode on to show multiple horizontal line ( using the setElmType and LIST_TYPE_LINE ).
but so far, the list member that should go beneath it keep drawing on the same line, but just become not target-able.

Here is a sample of what i use

Quote:ListColumn lc[]=
{
ListColumn(MEMBER(DetailedMenuMember, img), 0.5, "Icon"),
};
*R_DetailMenu+=list.create(lc, Elms(lc), true);
list.drawMode(LDM_RECTS);
list.horizontal(true);
list.flag=LIST_TYPE_LINE;
list.setElmType(MEMBER(DetailedMenuMember, type)); // the type member is either 0 or 1.
list. cur_mode=LCM_MOUSE;
list.elmHeight(0.1);

i'd appreciate any help

Thanks,

GuiCustom when loading GuiObjs

Hi,

is there a way to specify two or more different classes when I do replaceCustom<>()? I have a Gui with different custom classes, but they all are inherited from GuiCustom.

Loading GUI using UID

Tue, 09 Oct 2018 17:22:55 +0000

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me with this compiler error:

Quote: Main.cpp
d:\esenthel\projects\_build_\test\source\main.cpp(33): error C2664: 'Bool EE::GuiObj::load(EE::File &,CChar *)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'EE::UID' to 'EE::File &' [D:\Esenthel\Projects\_Build_\test\Project.vcxproj]

I have created a small GUI consisting of two buttons and placed it within a folder called GUI. After declaring a GuiObj I attempted to load the GUI by dragging the from the project pane into the load method.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Kirk

Code:

Attack Damage: 3279.68\nKill Enemy To increases Skill Power and Spell Power by 0.003%, also heals you for 10.07 HP at cost of 2.10 AP

Outcome.

Code:

just wondering because i'm not getting it

Dialog window

Sun, 01 Oct 2017 02:28:15 +0000

Hi!

Why is Button height in Dialog window fixed to 0.06f?
In mobiles buttons appear to be too small, and if i manually adjust button height, i also need to adjust its position, width and window height.

P.S. I am making mobile GPS-based online RPG now, just wondering if such projects are interesting to Esenthel community

GUI Quality loss

Mon, 04 Sep 2017 14:52:00 +0000

Hi Esenthel,

The monitor pixel rate to 1:1 D.w() and D.h() is 950x950. The GUI image element size is determined by the function f(x) = (x/MonitorPixelRate)*2, which in this case is 950px. f(x) = x/475 simplified. This gives a GUI image object the same size as the original image, assuming the GUI Scale option to Window is enabled. Doing that same process for buttons, tabs any element however does reduce the quality for whatever unknown reason.

What is the reason for this quality loss on say for example tabs, and not when we place it as an image.

See the attached screenshot for a clarification of the issue.

[Fixed] Window FadeIn nice bug

Wed, 24 May 2017 20:40:39 +0000

Hi, i found a nice bug with window.FadeIn();
Demo project can be loaded here.

So first goes the task: when i press on my game object (character in demo project), a window appears by fading in.
The problem: sometimes it fades in, but sometimes it appears constantly without fade effect!

And i found a reason experimentally
When you press on a character and mouse pos is inside window rect, then it appears without fading animation, but when mouse pos is outside window rect, it appears with animation, as expected.

There are two lines with window rect in demo project, #56 and #57, if you try both of them you will see the issue.

[Fixed] Google keyboard and Enter in Android

Thu, 18 May 2017 19:37:39 +0000

Hi!
Google keyboard Enter in Android is not recognized when i use

Quote:if(Kb.bp(KB_ENTER))
{
//do something
}

Nothing happens but it textline "new line" symbol is added as "?" sign.
Interesting moment is that it happens only with Russian keyboard, English Enter (haha, multilanguage Enter ) works as expected.

Automatic scrolling

Thu, 18 May 2017 13:18:30 +0000

Hello!

I have a region for chat messages, i need to make my region auto scroll to last message at the bottom only if the scroll is at he bottom, and if i scroll up to read old messages it should not automatically scroll when new message appears.
If i check scroll position like this:

Code:

if(T.slidebar[1].offset() >= T.slidebar[1].lengthTotal() - T.slidebar[1].length())

{

    T.scrollY(9999, true);

}

It performs very bad with immediate=false, because it takes current position which != lengthTotal().

Maybe someone has an idea how to do this correctly?

P.S. It would be great to make it like build log in EE editor
