[PB 4.30 Ogre] Simple Text Output needed..

I'm looking for an easy way to do some simple text-output during 3D (in Fullscreen, InitEngine3D..).
Something useful to display for example scores..
(I don't want to use Textgadget3d, and Startdrawing(ScreenOutput()).. doesn't seem to work during "3D-Mode")
One more question - Flipbuffers() modes (0,1 and 2) are equal during Fullscreen "3D-Mode" (vsync is not possible..), is this correct ?

use a sprite and display it just after RenderWorld
Code: Select all
RenderWorld()
DisplayTransparentSprite(0,0,0)
FlipBuffers()

Yes, i have the same problem.
a work around
Code: Select all
Speed = 60/Engine3DFrameRate(#PB_Engine3D_Current)

@Comtois
sorry, I think I remember there was some problem with displaying 2D sprites over RenderWorld() ?
your suggestion was the solution for 4.2 and the old OGRE...

http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=34531 :
- Possibility to mix 2D sprite and 3D (must be put after RenderWorld()). For DX9 (Windows) and OpenGL (OSX, Linux).
Afaik I told you in the german forum some time ago

Thank you

but when I try StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(0)) (sprite was created using CreateSprite..)
I get "The specified #sprite is not initialized" all the time..
Somebody has a working example ?
edit : with subsystem directx9 it works
What is the solution?

Anyone have a solution to this? I am having the same problem. I want to use 2D sprites to display text on my 3D screen (OGRE). Can someone enlighten me why this doesn't work?
Code: Select all
InitEngine3D()
InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()
InitMouse()
If OpenWindow(0,0,0,800,600,"TEST SPRITE")
If OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0), 0, 0, 700,500, 1, 0, 0)
CreateSprite(0,164,64)
StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(0))
DrawText(0,1,"TESTING...",RGB(255,255,255),RGB(0,0,0))
StopDrawing()
EndIf
EndIf

this code work fine, did you use subsytem directx9 ?
see
compiler options
Code: Select all
InitEngine3D()
InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()
InitMouse()
If OpenWindow(0,0,0,800,600,"TEST SPRITE")
If OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0), 0, 0, 700,500, 1, 0, 0)
CreateSprite(0,164,64)
CreateCamera(0,0,0,100,100)
StartDrawing(SpriteOutput(0))
DrawText(0,1,"TESTING...",RGB(255,255,255),RGB(0,0,0))
StopDrawing()
Repeat
ExamineKeyboard()
RenderWorld()
DisplaySprite(0,0,0)
FlipBuffers()
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)
EndIf
EndIf

I think this what the gadget3d routines are for?
create a window3d, then use textgadget3d to display text over your 3d.
note: I havnt done this yet - still trying to convert code to 4.3

I've also tried getting some text onto a full 3D screen using various methods listed in this thread and I've not had any luck.
and the link to the Gadget3D example in the docs is broken.

I forgot that forums are often a playing ground for people which have nothing to say but too much time - its not worth to lose time in discussions ...

blah blah blah!
Blitz was DirectX 7 all the time.
with DX7, it works well in PureBasic.
... just je new OGRE does NOT work with DX7 but requires DX9
... and there is NO 2DDrawing in DX9 anymore...
so, I strongly recommend to gather at least FEW information before you start blubbering rubbish.

And where is the solution Big Mouth Kaeru?
