Radar/Map/Compass Control Update (GuiRadarCtrl)

by James Laker (BurNinG) · 07/03/2006 (11:33 am) · 74 comments

Download Code File

Just updated and cleaned the Scrolling Map, Radar, Compass gui Control resource a little.

- Now Works with TGE 1.4 to TGE 1.5.1 out of the box.
- Can Turn the Radar, Map and Compass On/Off in the GUI Editor
- Select Bitmaps in the GUI Editor (not Hardcoded anymore)
- Can Change Blip Colors in the GUI Editor
- Can Change ViewAngleLine Colors of the Map in the GUI Editor
- Can Turn the ViewAngle On and Off in GUI Editor
- Can Set the Radar Range in GUI Editor (F10)

To install and use:
1) Backup old guiRadarCtrl.h/guiRadarCtrl.cc
2) Add the files from this resource (Note that the gui Directories in TGE1.4 changed)
3) Recompile
4) In the GUI editor (F10) add the GuiRadarCtrl

Advanced Camera: - Thanx OneST8
To use with the advanced camera just change line 312 in guiRadarCtrl.cc:
//conn->getControlCameraTransform(0,&cam); // store camera information
to this:
control->getEyeTransform(&cam);

Rar? You Mean the Zip?

If so. What does your console.log say?
I'll try it on a clean installation and see if i have missed anything.

console.log say nothing about guiRadarControl. I've tried on a clean installation, add guiRadarControl.h and guiRadarControl.cc to project, then I recompiled it. Then i run my game, go into Gui Editor and add the GuiRadarCtrl, and it still crashed

i debugged the program and found that error is in function onRender()


TextureObject* texture = (TextureObject *) mRadarTextureHandle;
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture->texGLName);

it can't create the texture object here, so when you use texture->texGLName, it crashed :D

void GuiRadarCtrl::setBitmap(const char *name)
{
mBitmapName = StringTable->insert(name);
if (*mBitmapName)
{
mMap = TextureHandle(mBitmapName, BitmapTexture, true);
// Path to radar images
mCompass = TextureHandle("fps/client/ui/compass", BitmapTexture, true);
mTextureHandle = TextureHandle("fps/client/ui/radar_base", BitmapTexture, true);
}
else
{
// Reset handles if UI object is hidden
mTextureHandle = NULL;
mCompass = NULL;
mMap = NULL;
}
setUpdate();
}



when i created a GuiRadarCtrl in game, *name = "", so this function will set mTextureHandle = NULL, that's the problem. How can i fix this ???

Yeah... just change back what Stefan Rampp said in the original resource.

That should do it.

Aha... well spotted... Thanx!
Still works on my version, so I hope that is the only problem...

BTW! There must've been a difference between the 2 sets of files! I have nothing hardcoded.

Updated Files (and included the Images)
