Include 2D sprites within a 3D environment

[JHPJHP]

I've done little to nothing with the OGRE 3D engine so I'm not sure how or if this is supposed to work.

See the following Bug Report.

Hello again
When you open a windowed screen together with the OGRE, it does not stretch sprites with window resize, only the 3d render.
However, there are two options:

1, Correct aspect ratio for the 3d scene too by calling resizecamera:

Code: Select all

Enumeration
  #MainWindow
EndEnumeration

InitEngine3D() : InitSprite() : InitKeyboard() : ExamineDesktops()

WindowWidth = 600 : WindowHeight = 600
nFlags = #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_Invisible

If OpenWindow(#MainWindow, 0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, "Include 2D sprites within a 3D environment", nFlags)
  SetWindowColor(#MainWindow, RGB(0, 0, 0))
  WindowBounds(#MainWindow, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, #PB_Default, #PB_Default)

  If OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(#MainWindow), 0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, #True, 0, 0)
    SetFrameRate(60) : SpriteQuality(#PB_Sprite_BilinearFiltering)
    CreateSprite(0, 20, 20, #PB_Sprite_AlphaBlending)

    If StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(0))
      Box(0, 0, 20, 20, RGB(255, 0, 155))
      Box(5, 5, 10, 10, RGB(155, 0, 255))
      StopDrawing()
    EndIf
    direction = 2

    Add3DArchive(#PB_Compiler_Home + "examples/3d/Data/Textures", #PB_3DArchive_FileSystem)
    Parse3DScripts()
    CreateCamera(0, 0, 0, 100, 100)
    MoveCamera(0, 0, 5, 0) 
    CameraLookAt(0, 2, 5, 10)
    TextureSky = LoadTexture(#PB_Any, "sky.png")
    SkyDome(TextureID(TextureSky), $cc6600, $0088ff, 3, 400, -0.5, 0)
    CreateLight(0, $ff88ff, 20000, 40000, 20000)
    AmbientColor($010101)
    Fog($554488,1, 0, 1024 * 4)

    HideWindow(#MainWindow, #False)

    Repeat
      Repeat
        Event = WindowEvent()

        Select Event
          Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
            Select EventWindow()
              Case #MainWindow : Break 2
            EndSelect
          Case #PB_Event_SizeWindow
            ResizeCamera(0,0,0,100,100) ; this way it does not stretch 3D render
        EndSelect
      Until Not Event
      ExamineKeyboard()

      If KeyboardReleased(#PB_Key_Escape) : Break : EndIf
      RenderWorld()
      DisplayTransparentSprite(0, x, x)
      x + direction

      If x > WindowWidth - 20 : direction = -2 : EndIf
      If x < 0 : direction =  2 : EndIf
      
      FlipBuffers()
    ForEver
  EndIf
EndIf

2. Manually size all the sprites to the new aspect ratio using zoomsprite:

Code: Select all

Enumeration
  #MainWindow
EndEnumeration

InitEngine3D() : InitSprite() : InitKeyboard() : ExamineDesktops()

WindowWidth = 600 : WindowHeight = 600
nFlags = #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_Invisible

If OpenWindow(#MainWindow, 0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, "Include 2D sprites within a 3D environment", nFlags)
  SetWindowColor(#MainWindow, RGB(0, 0, 0))
  WindowBounds(#MainWindow, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, #PB_Default, #PB_Default)

  If OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(#MainWindow), 0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight, #True, 0, 0)
    SetFrameRate(60) : SpriteQuality(#PB_Sprite_BilinearFiltering)
    CreateSprite(0, 20, 20, #PB_Sprite_AlphaBlending)

    If StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(0))
      Box(0, 0, 20, 20, RGB(255, 0, 155))
      Box(5, 5, 10, 10, RGB(155, 0, 255))
      StopDrawing()
    EndIf
    direction = 2

    Add3DArchive(#PB_Compiler_Home + "examples/3d/Data/Textures", #PB_3DArchive_FileSystem)
    Parse3DScripts()
    CreateCamera(0, 0, 0, 100, 100)
    MoveCamera(0, 0, 5, 0) 
    CameraLookAt(0, 2, 5, 10)
    TextureSky = LoadTexture(#PB_Any, "sky.png")
    SkyDome(TextureID(TextureSky), $cc6600, $0088ff, 3, 400, -0.5, 0)
    CreateLight(0, $ff88ff, 20000, 40000, 20000)
    AmbientColor($010101)
    Fog($554488,1, 0, 1024 * 4)

    HideWindow(#MainWindow, #False)

    Repeat
      Repeat
        Event = WindowEvent()

        Select Event
          Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
            Select EventWindow()
              Case #MainWindow : Break 2
            EndSelect
          Case #PB_Event_SizeWindow
            ZoomSprite(0,20*WindowWidth(#MainWindow)/windowwidth,20*WindowHeight(#MainWindow)/windowheight)
        EndSelect
      Until Not Event
      ExamineKeyboard()

      If KeyboardReleased(#PB_Key_Escape) : Break : EndIf
      RenderWorld()
      DisplayTransparentSprite(0, x, x)
      x + direction

      If x > WindowWidth - 20 : direction = -2 : EndIf
      If x < 0 : direction =  2 : EndIf
      
      FlipBuffers()
    ForEver
  EndIf
EndIf

PS:I think you just found a bug, as it seems at the old window size the sprites are clipped at least with PB 6.21 beta 9
Never seen this, as I don't allow resizing my 3d screened apps.

Hi miso,

Thank you for taking the time to post.

1, Correct aspect ratio for the 3d scene too by calling resizecamera:

2. Manually size all the sprites to the new aspect ratio using zoomsprite:

I've already tried both methods, but like you without success.

PS:I think you just found a bug, as it seems at the old window size the sprites are clipped at least with PB 6.21 beta 9

It's not that sprites are clipped, the 2D environment remains intact but the dimensions stay static when the 3D environment is stretched.

You might be correct that this is a bug. Previously, my 2D Death Star vs Asteroids game stretched in a 3D environment; I just don't have enough experience in this area to say if the changed behaviour is expected.

Note: I'm not sure when the behaviour changed, it's been a while since I've done much PureBasic programming.

[miso]

2d screens stretches well. Ogre windowed screens increases the viewport for the scene, while for the sprites the viewport remains intact.
Also calling screenwidth()/height() returns the values of the initial screen viewport.

(or I'm doing something wrong, it's always a possibility.)

[JHPJHP]

You know when you do something, turn away for a minute, look back, and that thing you did is gone... you're left wondering if that thing you thought you did was really done in the first place I'm almost positive I posted a bug report linking back to this thread, but it's gone, without explanation

Anyways, I've updated my first post to better illustrate the expected behaviour. If this has changed, no worries, I was only looking for confirmation.

[miso]

I'm thinking about just open a screen at desktop size and I resize my sprites.
To be honest, I might not need window resize. I saw the report, it was just a link to here with many long posts
A short clean example is preferred, I think.

Edit: No it's there. Moved to 3D bug reports

[JHPJHP]

Hi miso,

Thank you again, not just for posting but also for your keen observation

I already tried starting the screen set to the desktop dimensions, but it doesn't resize the sprite; possibly combined with ZoomSptite, but I think that would clip the screen in a 3D environment.

At this point it's probably best to wait and hear from the powers that be.

[miso]

Zoomsprite is safe and works well, I can guarantee that. I use it a lot.

[JHPJHP]

Hi miso,

This isn't about any one command but the inclusion of sprites in a 3D environment; I'm sure ZoomSprite has no issues, I've used it myself on occasion.

If you're interested, here are a couple retro games I wrote almost ten years ago:
➤ Invading Space Aliens
➤ Death Star vs Asteroids
• Previously, the sprite screen would resize in the 3D environment.
• REM out line 92 to see why I originally created this thread.
• Press the Spacebar to skip the intro.

Note: Intro was based on code written by DK_PETER.

Be kind, I only wrote these games because I was board and wanted to familiarize myself with the Sprite library.

[miso]

Downloaded, these are quiet cool. Please give me some time as I browse through the code.

Edit: I started to resize the sprites with 3Dscreen to test, and I just could not get the good ratio. I figured out, that there are DPI resize calls using the user32.dll (I guess PB was not natively DPI aware at the time of creation.) I removed those and the resizing with zoomsprite became correct.

Though it would be a lot of work to resize everything, as there's too many hardcoded sizes and positions. Cool programs though;)
