Hello Everyone,
So I have started working on my game in leadwerks (C++). It has been really fun so far but for some strange reason I just can't get it to work the way I want. For now the project only consists of a few files and I was working on getting my SceneManager to work. The scenemanager should create the world / load worlds etc but when I run my code it keeps flickering the screen and doesn't load up the map correct.
I have tried both world->clear and world->release but it keeps flickering the loading screen and doesn't return. So I hope someone could help me out and show me what I am doing wrong here (it works in my head ).
#include "SceneManager.h"
using namespace Leadwerks;
SceneManager::SceneManager()
{
this->mLoadingTexture = NULL;
this->mCustomLoadingTexture = NULL;
}
SceneManager::~SceneManager()
{
}
bool SceneManager::Init()
{
// Create / Load a default placeholder for the loading screen
this->mLoadingTexture = Texture::Load("Materials/UI/Loading_Default.tex");
if (this->mLoadingTexture == NULL)
return LogUtil::returnWithMessage(LogType::LOG_ERROR, "Failed to load texture: 'Materials/UI/Loading_Default.tex'");
//this->mLoadingTexture->AddRef();
// Create / Load World
this->mWorld = World::Create();
}
bool SceneManager::LoadScene(std::string map, World* world, Context* context)
{
// Unload custom loading screen if loaded
//this->UnloadCustomLoadingTexture();
// Now reload the load texture
// First render the Loading Screen
if (FileSystem::GetFileType("Materials/UI/Loading_" + map + ".tex") != NULL){
LogUtil::writeMessage(LogType::LOG_INFO, "Custom loadingscreen found: Materials/UI/Loading_" + map + ".tex");
// Try to load it
this->mCustomLoadingTexture = Texture::Load("Materials/UI/Loading_" + map + ".tex");
//this->mCustomLoadingTexture->AddRef();
}
else{
LogUtil::writeMessage(LogType::LOG_DEBUG, "Map doesn't have custom loadingscreen...");
}
// Next render the loading screen (as the load map function blocks)
if (mCustomLoadingTexture != NULL)
context->DrawImage(mCustomLoadingTexture, 0, 0, context->GetWidth(), context->GetHeight());
else
context->DrawImage(mLoadingTexture, 0, 0, context->GetWidth(), context->GetHeight());
context->Sync(false);
// Clear the old world
Time::Pause();
if ( world != NULL )
world->Release();
world = World::Create();
// Now load the actual map
if (!Map::Load("Maps/" + map + ".map")){
// Failed to load map
LogUtil::writeMessage(LogType::LOG_WARNING, "Failed to load map...");
}
Time::Resume();
// The map is loaded now create a scene from it
// TODO: CREATE A SCENE
// Unload the custom loading texture now that we have build the scene
//this->UnloadCustomLoadingTexture();
return true;
}
void SceneManager::UnloadCustomLoadingTexture()
{
if (this->mCustomLoadingTexture != NULL){
this->mCustomLoadingTexture->Release();
this->mCustomLoadingTexture = NULL;
}
}
void SceneManager::Update()
{
if (mWorld != NULL)
mWorld->Update();
}
void SceneManager::Render()
{
if (mWorld != NULL)
mWorld->Render();
}
With kind regards,
