 Thanks Jay, I'll take those pointers away(rim shot) when I rewrite

 Still confusing that it worked in debug mode but displayed nothing

RE: [hlcoders] Works in debug mode, does not it release mode.

::OnThink() would work as well. You can use the ::OnTick() function by
making the ivgui()->AddTickSignal( GetVPanel() ) to subscribe your panel
to tick events. The AddTickSignal() lets you optionally choose the tick
interval (rather than just once per frame) which can be a useful
feature.

Just make the label large enough to contain any text it could
potentially display rather than dynamically resizing it (or use the
::SizeToContents() function if you really need to resize it).

Thanks for the tip, but I implemented your sizeof(); suggestion :) It ain't
crashing anymore, but it's not displaying text weirdly enough. Debug is
still working :E

Well anyway I'll be rewriting it anyway :D I'm thinking of how I am gonna do
that. Do you think using an ::OnThink() function like most hud elements use
would be the best way? Possibly in the OnThink(); Check if pRules->foo has
changed. If it has call a function to change the size and text of the label?

And ::OnTick() There are only a couple of examples around the SDK and I was
trying to find the base function and I came across this in
vgui_BasePanel.cpp and found this:

void CBasePanel::OnTick( void )
{
// Nothing
}

How is this function called within the engine? And what is it good for?

RE: [hlcoders] Works in debug mode, does not it release mode.

2006-03-30 Thread Alfred Reynolds
Debug mode has a lot more padding between memory allocations typically.
This call:
vgui::localize()->ConvertANSIToUnicode( sString, unicode, 1024)

Would cause a random piece of memory 512 bytes beyond the end of
"unicode" to be zero to 0 (null terminating the unicode string). In
debug you were probably zeroing unused memory so it had no impact, in
release you were smashing the stack or the like causing a crash. Moral
is, use sizeof() when passing in buffer length parameters,
never hard code them :)

 int border = 20;

 x = border / 2; // ScreenWidth() - border - textSizeWide;
 y = iShown * fontTall; // border + iShown * fontTall;

 SetSize( 300 + border, 40 );


 if (pRules->m_bCaptureObjectActive == true)
 {
 sString = "Find the case!";
 }
 else if (pRules->m_bCaptureZoneActivated == true) {
 sString = "Get to this location and do something"; }
 else
 {
 sString = "No mission selected!";
 }

 vgui::localize()->ConvertANSIToUnicode( sString, unicode, 256);

 // --- Set up default font and get character height for line
 spacing vgui::surface()->DrawSetTextFont( m_hLargeFont );
 //vgui::surface()->DrawSetTextFont( m_hLargeFont );
 vgui::surface()->DrawSetTextPos(x, y);
 vgui::surface()->DrawPrintText( unicode, wcslen(unicode) ); //
 print text

 BaseClass::Paint();
 }

 Now for some reason vgui::localize()->ConvertANSIToUnicode(
 sString, unicode, 256); was crashing the release mode(not the
 debug) if I put the buffer to 1024

 Have any of you guys run into this problem? Or can you see some
 error I have overlooked?

Thanks Jay, I'll take those pointers away(rim shot) when I rewrite it in
accordance with Alfred's suggestions.

Still confusing that it worked in debug mode but displayed nothing in
release mode.

RE: [hlcoders] Works in debug mode, does not it release mode.

2006-03-30 Thread Jay Stelly
Actually looking at the code you're using, you probably should just skip
string_t entirely (since the unicode conversion takes a char * anyway):

const char *pString = "";

then replace sString with pString...

RE: [hlcoders] Works in debug mode, does not it release mode.

2006-03-30 Thread Jay Stelly
Unless someone has defined a valid assignment or conversion path for
this that I don't normally use you have to do this to your constant
strings:

> sString = MAKE_STRING("Find the case!");

at least that's why MAKE_STRING exists in the first place.

It's not surprising that ConvertANSIToUnicode() would crash if these
assignments were producing an invalid pointer.

RE: [hlcoders] Works in debug mode, does not it release mode.

2006-03-30 Thread Alfred Reynolds
The third arg to ConvertANSIToUnicode() is the size of the output buffer
in bytes. In this case you should use sizeof(unicode).

This kind of code is the wrong pattern for VGUI2. It will perform really
badly (because of the expensive operations you are running every time
you paint) and makes your layout really fragile. A better model is to
use a label to contain the text you want to draw and use an event to
update text. The position, size and font the label uses should be
contained in a .res file that is loaded by the base frame that owns the
label ( it looks like CBBHudTaskList should be a frame in your case).
If you cannot implement an event driven method then at least use the
::OnTick() method and only change the label text if the state changes.
You can use the ::SetText() label call to set the string to render, and
you don't need to do the unicode translation manually then.

[hlcoders] Works in debug mode, does not it release mode.

Very weird indeed, I'm working on some VGUI code and for some reason it
works in debug mode with the IDE attatched and fails to work in release
mode, and for the life of me I am stumped for a soloution. Here is some code
to see if you guys have run into this problem.

void CBBHudTaskList::Paint( void )
{
// getting a pointer to the game rules
CHL2MPRules *pRules = HL2MPRules();
if ( !pRules )
return;
// local player
C_BasePlayer *pPlayer = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
if ( !pPlayer )
return;

string_t sString = "";
wchar_t unicode[256];

int x, y;
int textSizeWide, textSizeTall;
int iShown = 0; // number of lines shown
int fontTall = vgui::surface()->GetFontTall( m_hLargeFont );
int border = 20;

x = border / 2; // ScreenWidth() - border - textSizeWide;
y = iShown * fontTall; // border + iShown * fontTall;

SetSize( 300 + border, 40 );


if (pRules->m_bCaptureObjectActive == true)
{
sString = "Find the case!";
}
else if (pRules->m_bCaptureZoneActivated == true)
{
sString = "Get to this location and do something";
}
else
{
sString = "No mission selected!";
}

vgui::localize()->ConvertANSIToUnicode( sString, unicode, 256);

// --- Set up default font and get character height for line spacing
vgui::surface()->DrawSetTextFont( m_hLargeFont );
//vgui::surface()->DrawSetTextFont( m_hLargeFont );
vgui::surface()->DrawSetTextPos(x, y);
vgui::surface()->DrawPrintText( unicode, wcslen(unicode) ); // print
text

BaseClass::Paint();
}

Now for some reason vgui::localize()->ConvertANSIToUnicode( sString,
unicode, 256); was crashing the release mode(not the debug) if I put the
buffer to 1024

Have any of you guys run into this problem? Or can you see some error I have
overlooked?
