The 32 bit version works as it was intended!

The 64 bit gave me an exception as shown below.

You have to manually set your project to 64bit. Then it should work. In VS in the upper bar, simply set it from Debug to Release 64.

Hello!

One quick question regarding the code itself:

I try to detect some images from the hard drive and then to detect in a for loop if the images does not exist, to able to fill those slots. However from the following code, it gives me a message that the application is in break mode (the app stalls).

+ Code Snippet

while (files == "")
                {
                    for (uint asstimgld = 1000; asstimgld <= 2000; asstimgld++)
                    {
                        if (Agk.GetImageExists(asstimgld) == 0)
                        {
                            Agk.LoadImage(asstimgld, files);
                            return;
                        }
                    }
                    files = Agk.GetNextFile();
                }

Thank you!

I have slightly modified your code. This is how it should work. (Not tested)

+ Code Snippet

string files = Agk.GetFirstFile(2);
while (files != "") // run the loop until 'files' has no content.
{
	for (uint asstimgld = 1000; asstimgld <= 2000; asstimgld++)
	{
		if (Agk.GetImageExists(asstimgld) == 0)
		{
			Agk.LoadImage(asstimgld, files);
			break; // break not return (break = get out of current Loop. return = get out of this function.
		}
	}
	files = Agk.GetNextFile();
}

Madbit,

Thank you!

It didn't gave me any errors. The absolutely last thing: In order for the images to appear on screen, is this the correct method to create the sprites?

Agk.SetFolder("tools\assets");
                string files = Agk.GetFirstFile(2);
                int lastsprite = 0;

uint asstimgld = 0;

while (files != "")
                {
                    for (asstimgld = 1000; asstimgld <= 2000; asstimgld++)
                    {
                        if (Agk.GetImageExists(asstimgld) == 0)
                        {
                            Agk.LoadImage(asstimgld, files);
                            break;
                        }
                    }

for (uint crtasstsprt = 1000; crtasstsprt <= 2000; crtasstsprt++)
                    {
                        if (Agk.GetSpriteExists(crtasstsprt) == 0)
                        {
                            Agk.CreateSprite(crtasstsprt, asstimgld);
                            Agk.SetSpriteSize(crtasstsprt, 55, 55);
                            Agk.SetSpritePosition(crtasstsprt, 155, 155);
                            break;
                        }
                    }

files = Agk.GetNextFile();
                }

+ Code Snippet


Agk.SetFolder("tools\assets");
                string files = Agk.GetFirstFile(2);
                int lastsprite = 0;

                uint asstimgld = 0;

                while (files != "")
                {
                    for (asstimgld = 1000; asstimgld <= 2000; asstimgld++)
                    {
                        if (Agk.GetImageExists(asstimgld) == 0)
                        {
                            Agk.LoadImage(asstimgld, files);
                            break;
                        }
                    }

                    for (uint crtasstsprt = 1000; crtasstsprt <= 2000; crtasstsprt++)

                        {
                            Agk.CreateSprite(crtasstsprt, asstimgld);
                            Agk.SetSpriteSize(crtasstsprt, 55, 55);
                            Agk.SetSpritePosition(crtasstsprt, 155, 155);
                            break;
                        }
                    }

                    files = Agk.GetNextFile();
                }

If you only want to use the images once for one sprite, you can also just use LoadSprite.
So something like this.

+ Code Snippet

Agk.SetFolder("tools\assets");
string files = Agk.GetFirstFile(2);
int lastsprite = 0;

while (files != "")
{
	for (uint crtasstsprt = 1000; crtasstsprt <= 2000; crtasstsprt++)
	{
		if (Agk.GetSpriteExists(crtasstsprt) == 0)
		{
			Agk.LoadSprite(crtasstsprt, files);
			Agk.SetSpriteSize(crtasstsprt, 55, 55);
			Agk.SetSpritePosition(crtasstsprt, 155, 155);
			break;
		}
	}

	files = Agk.GetNextFile();
}

The way you do it is also O.K.

There are multiple sprites with different images. So if I have different images and different sprites, I can still use the LoadSprite command? Didn't knew about this method... is a lot more cleaner. Silly me.
However with my method and the alternative method from you, don't know why the sprites don't appear on screen.

The whole code again:

+ Code Snippet


Agk.SetFolder("tools/assets");
                string files = Agk.GetFirstFile(2);
                int lastsprite = 0;

                while (files != "")
                {
                    for (uint crtasstsprt = 1000; crtasstsprt <= 2000; crtasstsprt++)
                    {
                        if (Agk.GetSpriteExists(crtasstsprt) == 0)
                        {
                            Agk.LoadSprite(crtasstsprt, files);
                            Agk.SetSpriteSize(crtasstsprt, 55, 55);
                            Agk.SetSpritePosition(crtasstsprt, 155, 155);
                            break;
                        }
                    }

                    files = Agk.GetNextFile();
                }

Sorry for asking so many questions, but I made the decision to transfer my project in C# AppGameKit and got stuck just on these problems.

Thank you!

Debug your code to see if the sprites are really loaded.
If you don't know how to do this you can also use the code below.
If more than one sprite is loaded, a number above 1000 should be displayed.

If the sprites were not loaded, it is probably because the path was not set correctly. Then try it with
Agk.SetFolder("media/tools/assets");

I changed your code again.

+ Code Snippet

Agk.SetFolder("tools/assets");
string files = Agk.GetFirstFile(2);
uint lastsprite = 1000;

while (files != "")
{
	for (uint crtasstsprt = lastsprite; crtasstsprt <= 2000; crtasstsprt++)
	{
		if (Agk.GetSpriteExists(crtasstsprt) == 0)
		{
			Agk.LoadSprite(crtasstsprt, files);
			Agk.SetSpriteSize(crtasstsprt, 55, 55);
			Agk.SetSpritePosition(crtasstsprt, 155, 155);
			Agk.SetSpriteVisible(crtasstsprt, true);
			lastsprite = crtasstsprt;
			break;
		}
	}

	files = Agk.GetNextFile();
}

while (Core.LoopAGK())
{
	Agk.Print(lastsprite);
	
	Agk.Sync();
}

You where right!

It was because the "media" folder was not included. I got used to AppGameKit Basic IDE to actually get the "media" folder automatically.

Huge thank you for your help! It helped me a lot!

Hello,

Sorry for asking again about certain things on C#, maybe someone also could run into the same problem. It's about arrays, in general. I want to make them public to be accessed from another form or function.

I have the following, as an example:

+ Code Snippet


//text arrray
                int[] texthassprite = new int[1000];
                string[] spritetype = new string[1000];
                int[] spritehastext = new int[1000];
                string[] textcolor = new string[1000];
                int[] textstringbold = new int[1000];
                string[] textstringhasfont = new string[1000];

I tried public static but it throws me errors like the one attached on this post.

Thank you so much!

I think it's the way of declaring the variables. Try it with 'static' in front.

Something like that:

+ Code Snippet

static int[] texthassprite = new int[1000];
static string[] spritetype = new string[1000];
static int[] spritehastext = new int[1000];
static string[] textcolor = new string[1000];
static int[] textstringbold = new int[1000];
static string[] textstringhasfont = new string[1000];

If not, a little more information would be better.

What does the class look like in which the variables are declared?
What compiler errors are output?

Hello Madbit,

I will try your alternative. In the meantime, I managed to create classes for every array and make them public so that they can be accessed from anywhere in the application. However, I would really like for your example to work. It looks much more neat.

Here is what I have managed to do:

+ Code Snippet


//text arrray
    public static class textarray
    {
        public static uint[] texthassprite = new uint[1000];
        public static string[] spritetype = new string[1000];
        public static uint[] spritehastext = new uint[1000];
        public static string[] textcolor = new string[1000];
        public static int[] textstringbold = new int[1000];
        public static string[] textstringhasfont = new string[1000];
    }

And access the array by: textarray.texthassprite[number] = variable to put.

I think this is another way to do it?

Hmm, I would approach it from the other side.
I would put all the properties into a structure and then save the entries in a list.
Something like that.

+ Code Snippet

public struct TextDesc
{
	public uint id;
	
	public uint texthassprite;
	public string spritetype;
	public uint spritehastext;
	public string textcolor;
	public int textstringbold;
	public string textstringhasfont;
}

public static List<TextDesc> TextList;

To add values ...

+ Code Snippet

TextDesc item = new TextDesc
{
	id = ??,	
	texthassprite = ??,
	spritetype = ??,
	spritehastext = ??,
	textcolor = ??,
	textstringbold = ??,
	textstringhasfont = ??
};
TextList.Add(item);

enumerate all items in the list

+ Code Snippet

foreach(TextDesc item in TextList)
{
	// do something with 'item'
}

But all this is only estimated, because I don't know what you want to do with the data and how you use it.
And it is also a personal decision, how you can work best.

I understand. I'll try.

I identified that the keyboard does not work when I initialize either "getrawkeypressed" or "getrawkeystate". Also on settweentextred, green or blue and maybe to the rest of the tweens, the values are only INTEGER, not FLOAT as in the basic version.

Thank you!

This is the Tier2 declaration of this Function.

+ Code Snippet

void agk::SetTweenTextBlue( UINT tweenID, int beginB, int endB, int interpolation )

You see it is an 'int'. It won't do any difference if I change it to float. I didn't find anything in the documentation that it should be a float.

MateiSoft wrote: "I identified that the keyboard does not work when I initialize either "getrawkeypressed" or "getrawkeystate". "

Ok, thank you for this.

It only works if the AppGameKit window gets the focus. So you can insert the following line as workaround in the file 'Core.cs' and function Core_OnMouseDown.

+ Code Snippet

        static void Core_OnMouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            m_Panel.Focus(); // <- this one
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) Agk.MouseLeftButton(0, 1);
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) Agk.MouseRightButton(0, 1);
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Middle) Agk.MouseMiddleButton(0, 1);
        }

Ok,

I have quickly uploaded a new package. It is only compiled with the current version of AppGameKit (2018-10-10).

As always, download it from my site.

I am looking at converting my military simulation from MonoGame to AGKSharp due to the much greater capability of providing a user interface with the Windows Forms controls.

However, how does one create a panel that can be scrolled as with a large hexagonal map. With MonoGame we used the primary camera and changed its position for these purposes.

I also have to build the map using tiles, which already have the routines written in MonoGame. How would I do this with AGKSharp?

Thank you...

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I don't know if you work in 2D or 3D.

In the case of 2D, you have two choices.
- You create your complete map from tiles. In Agk you use sprites to do this. Afterwards you can move the view with 'SetViewOffset(x, y)' as you like. I suppose this is similar to your MonoGame Project.

or ...

- You calculate which tiles are visible at the current position of the 'camera' and draw only the tiles that are necessary. So you don't need to move the visible area anymore. For very large maps, it could be faster.

There is only one way in 3D.
- You assemble your map using your 3D tiles and set the camera to scroll. So just like you already described it.

For help you can use the official documentation. You just have to put "Agk." in front of the commands.

I hope this helps.
If I have misunderstood you or if there are more questions open then ask further.

Hello Madbit, super nice to see that you're updating AgkSharp to newer versions of AppGameKit!

I have a question about the inner workings of AgkSharp: is it possible to register AgkSharp.dll as a COM object in Windows? This would expose AgkSharp to almost any Windows programming language!
Next to C#, I'm also using a programming language called Xojo, and that can reference with dlls, but I don't know if this would work with AgkSharp (some basic info here: https://blog.xojo.com/2014/01/03/accessing-net-code-from-xojo/)

I guess DLLRegisterServer has to be added somewhere or so?

Do you think this would be possible? Would be nice for Xojo, as there are no real 3D engines available.

Thanks for any info!

Hi, you have to try this. I didn't declare the AgkSharp functions as COM objects.
But if it should work. You also had to translate the C# code 'Core.cs' into Xojo. Because the window for Agk is created there and the window handle must be passed to Agk.InitGL.

Wasn't as easy as I hoped, I don't have the time at this moment to search for it. Will leave that to a later moment.

Full focus on AgkSharp now, I have a small question, I want to load a 3d object that is at a user specified path (e.g. My Documents), how do I load that object in AgkSharp? I can copy the original file to the media folder, and progress from there, but not sure that is the way to go.
Any advice on this matter?

Thansk for your work!

The normal way would be to copy the file into the media directory. You can also specify the file directly as in AGK.

+ Code Snippet

Agk.LoadObject("raw:C:\\Users\\Carttguy\\\Documents\\MyObject.obj");

Or also in combination with the environment variables. (Not tested.)

+ Code Snippet

string UserFolder = "raw:" + GetEnvironmentVariable ("USERPROFILE");
Agk.LoadObject( UserFolder + "\\Documents\\MyObject.obj");

i hope this helps a bit.

Nice!
Thanks.

I run into an error when opening a obj file.
When I use AppGameKit Basic I can load it doing this:

+ Code Snippet

LoadObject(1, "man.obj")
SetCameraPosition( 1,0,5,-10 )

When I translate that to AgkSharp (and set Error mode to 2, If I don't set errormode, nothing happens)

+ Code Snippet

Agk.LoadObject(1, "man.obj");
                Agk.SetCameraPosition(1, 0, 5, -10);

I just dropped the man.obj in the /bin/media folder of my C# project.
It throws an error:

Visual Studio wrote: "System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: "An external component has caused an exception.""

Any idea? This happens with the WinForms template.
See man.obj attached, nothing special I think.

Also something else: The donation button on the AppGameKit webpage doens't seem to do anything.

Hello MadBit,

Sorry for not responding for so long, I've been super busy with the development of my application.

I will respond to the previous messages in a short time. Meanwhile I came back with a question regarding the following problem: My application enters in break mode when I try to initialize this command: "Agk.Message(Agk.GetImageFilename(1000));". It's not "Agk.Message", it's "Agk.GetImageFileName". Do you know why my application enters in break mode?

Thank you very much!

@Carharttguy
This is because Tier2 (C/C++) and CSharp do not set the media directory. This means that the root directory from which the program is read is not the media directory but where the program was started.
To fix it simply use "media/man.obj".

@MateiSoft
That's a similar error to Carharttguy. Check if the Image-Id exists. Check if the image is really loaded/created.

Thanks MadBit for your help, really simple solution indeed..
Is there a way for you to pass throw 'the real' exception as AppGameKit Basic would give?

Unfortunately no.
The exception is output by the c++ library. I call the functions one to one.
I will take a closer look at the c++ source code to see if I can find a simple solution.

Are GetImageID and GetImageFilename commands available if I use Clone Sprite?

EDIT: I use

+ Code Snippet

for (clnedrgnddrpassts = 1000; clnedrgnddrpassts < 2000; clnedrgnddrpassts++)
                                    {
                                        if (Agk.GetSpriteExists(clnedrgnddrpassts) == 0)
                                        {
                                            newcrtsprtasst = clnedrgnddrpassts;
                                            //MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(newcrtsprtasst));
                                            Agk.CloneSprite(clnedrgnddrpassts, drgnddrpassts);
                                            fromassets = 1;
                                            break;
                                        }
                                    }

So the sprite appears on the screen when I stay on mouse left click.
When I release the left click I do:

+ Code Snippet

for (crtsprtasst = 2; crtsprtasst < 1000; crtsprtasst++)
                    {
                        if (Agk.GetSpriteExists(crtsprtasst) == 0)
                        {
                            Agk.LoadSprite(crtsprtasst, Agk.GetImageFilename(Agk.GetSpriteImageID(newcrtsprtasst))))
                            break;
                        }
                    }

If your base sprite (drgnddrpassts) was created with LoadSprite, then your sprite will not have an image ID.
You will also get performance problems, because the image will be reloaded at every cloning, because there is no image reference.

I recommend to create this base sprite with CreateSprite with a previously loaded image.

+ Code Snippet

drgnddrpassts = Agk.CreateSprite(Agk.LoadImage("media/my_base_sprite.png"));

@Carharttguy & MateiSoft
I have packed new DLL's in the attachment. Now the errors will be more readable. But I left the exception message so that you can see in debug mode which source code line causes the message.

That's weird because in Basic the code works and retrieves an image number.

Sorry, but a fast test in Agk-Basic gives me a image id of 0 (zero).

Code:

+ Code Snippet

sid = LoadSprite("space/TopFighter1.png")
id = GetSpriteImageID(sid)

do
	print(sid)
	print(id)
    Sync ( )
loop

Ok, well. I've tested a couple of times and the only problem that I had it was because of "Load Sprite" not returning an image number. It gave me a nightmare alongside with C# and it's warnings or errors.

Thank you!

The way you've probably already figured it out.
If the original sprite was created with LoadSprite, this sprite has no image ID. When cloning, the image is reloaded into the cloned sprite because there is no image ID.

I don't think it's a bug. In the documentation of LoadSprite it is already pointed out that the image is reloaded again and again. An image class is created but not passed to the image manager. The Sprite has the exclusive right to access the image.
If the sprite is deleted, the image is also deleted.
I think they wanted to leave the ID resources for the user and not "waste" them for the automatism. It's just a guess.

i personally don't think it's a big deal to make the sprite the way it's been suggested.

+ Code Snippet

id = Agk.LoadSprite(Agk.LoadImage("image.png"));

or you do a little helper function.

+ Code Snippet

public uint LoadSprite(string image_file, bool managed = true)
{
    uint out;
    if(managed)
        out = Agk.CreateSprite(Agk.LoadImage("image.png"));
    else
        out = Agk.LoadSprite("image.png");

    return out;
}

I understand. Thanks to you and the other people around here I got to finally understand how some things work.

One C# question: I want to generate picture boxes depending on how many files are in a certain folder. I managed to do that, I also managed to place the in picture box's name, the filename detected, however, when it comes to clicking on picture boxes that contains different filenames, it throws me the same filename as the other picture boxes. Code:

PictureBox pic;
        private void Music_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory("media/tools/music");

foreach (string item in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()))
            {
                pic = new PictureBox();
                pic.Size = new Size(55, 55);
                System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory("..");

pic.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "/" + "musicfile.png");
                System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory("music");
                pic.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch;
                pic.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
                pic.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;

pic.Name = item;

pic.Click += Pic_Click;
                flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(pic);
            }
        }

private void Pic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

MessageBox.Show(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(pic.Name.ToString()));

return;
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

+ Code Snippet


PictureBox pic;
        private void Music_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory("media/tools/music");

            foreach (string item in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()))
            {
                pic = new PictureBox();
                pic.Size = new Size(55, 55);
                System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory("..");

                pic.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "/" + "musicfile.png");
                System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory("music");
                pic.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch;
                pic.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
                pic.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;

                pic.Name = item;

                pic.Click += Pic_Click;
                flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(pic);
            }
        }

private void Pic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            MessageBox.Show(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(pic.Name.ToString()));

            return;
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

Thank you.

The way you try, you always get the last PictureBox you created, right?
To work with the controls you just clicked on, you first have to cast the sender object into your corresponding control. In this case into a PictureBox.
Any control that creates an event is passed as sender to the callback function.

for it to work, your function should look something like this.

+ Code Snippet

private void Pic_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	PictureBox pbox = (PictureBox)sender;
	MessageBox.Show(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(pbox.Name));
}

I hope it works.

MadBit,

Doesn't playsound support an ID number greater than 999? My application enters in break mode when I try to do:

+ Code Snippet


for (plysnd = 1000; plysnd < 2000; plysnd++)
            {
                if(Agk.GetSoundExists(plysnd) == 0)
                {
                    Agk.LoadSound(plysnd, System.IO.Path.GetFileName(pbox.Name.ToString()));
                    Agk.PlaySound(plysnd);
                    break;
                }
            }

To update an existing project you only need to copy the dll's.

You may need to reload the project in the ide.

Copied the DLLs as shown in the image attached but no difference seems to be. I tried executing the getrawkeystate with the left shift key (since is the new key added) and it didn't worked. I copied the dlls with VS closed.

Should I copy Core?

Thank you!

EDIT: m_panel.Focus() is missing from Core. Should I add it? I have the same problem with the keys not working. (The other ones, not just the one mentioned earlier).

Do ALL keys not work? Or only those that have been added since the last AppGameKit update.
I forgot to add the new keycodes.

All key don't work (checked now, again).

Maybe because that the panel doesn't focus when clicked if you remember the old fix you've made a week ago or so.
