Basic syntax issue with VDP_drawImageEx();

Munkyears · Post by **Munkyears** » Mon Sep 10, 2018 3:32 am

Hi Guys!
So good to see this place is still up and running!!
Its been 9 years since I started here, Still struggling with simple syntax errors!

Could someone please advise me?
Simply trying to draw an image specifically a .PNG file, adequately formatted however Code::Blocks doesnt want to compile to following:

Code: Select all

    // screen w
    VDP_setScreenWidth320();
    VDP_setPaletteColors(0, palette_black, 64);

    //Initialise pad
    JOY_init();

    //draw the background
    VDP_drawImageEx(PLAN_B, &ponyologo_image, TILE_ATTR_FULL(PAL0, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, ind), 0, 0, FALSE, TRUE);
    ind += ponyologo_image.tileset->numTile;

    //draw ponyo large
    //HOLD OFF ON THIS FOR NOW
    //VDP_drawImageEx(PLAN_A, &gamelogo, TILE_ATTR_FULL(PAL1, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, tileIndex), 7, 4, TRUE, TRUE);
    //tileIndex += gamelogo.tileset->numTile;

    //draw logo ponyo
   // VDP_drawImageEx(PLAN_A, &ponyologo_image, TILE_ATTR_FULL(PAL1, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, tileIndex), 7, 4, TRUE, TRUE);
   // tileIndex += ponyologo_image.tileset->numTile;
 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    //Initialize sprite engine
    //SPR_init(256);

However this is the following output:

I am bewildered but it is 4.30am in England!!

Thanks for your support!! Finally putting my efforts to some use!!

Hope you are all well!

@KanedaFr - Please keep SMForums going please!! Always been my go to escape even if I just lurk

There could be something about the previous line it doesn't like, but it looks fine to me. Is "ind" supposed to be the name of the variable here? That doesn't match the code snippet above.

My other guess is there is an extra "}" somewhere that didn't get commented with the rest of its block.

Ca you show the content of the generated gfx.h file ?
It looks like the compiler don't like the auto generated DEFINE directive name. This one is generated from the resource file path so i guess you have a weird character into your file path.

Thanks for your reply!

Code: Select all

#ifndef _C_\SGDK\PONYO\RES_GFX_H_
#define _C_\SGDK\PONYO\RES_GFX_H_

#endif

this is the output from the gfx.res
I forwent having multiple res files for SPRITE & IMAGE like your example.
I did have to place #endif as it kept throwing errors

Now after coming back to this, I cannot seem to recreate the same error. Now it throws ponyologo_image is undefined, even when I have specifically listed it inside GFX.res

Here is the main in its entirety:

As I noticed you declared,

Code: Select all

extern const Image

in your gfx.res

I also changed:

Code: Select all

#ifndef _C_\SGDK\PONYO\RES_GFX_H_
#define _C_\SGDK\PONYO\RES_GFX_H_

to:

Code: Select all

#ifndef _RES_GFX_H_
#define _RES_GFX_H_

still to no avail. even if I try to compile your sprite.cbp, It still throws undeclared images,

I sense I have to problem solve & reinstall SGDK 1.34 & possibly write it again as I havent made too much progress
I'll wait for a reply first before I do

Thanks!!

Apologies for the repeated posts but I think ResComp seems to have an issue with compiling.

If I change anything from within .res files for instances (s1_jump.wav) to (s2_jump.wav) & ResComp it,
then recompile the whole build, it causes them become undefined even though the context hasnt changed, only the file names??

Has rescomp had an update since SGDK 1.34? I'm hoping this is a simple fix!!

Sorry, i tried to investigate the problem : I re-installed a fresh SGDK 1.34 but i just cannot replicate your problem.
I had an issue in the github repository where the bintos tool was buggy (i just updated it) but you shouldn't be impacted by it.
It seems like your rescomp isn't correctly generating resource name... i will continue investigations.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder if its due to my OS? Running Windows 10 x64 16gb DDR4. Noticed a few issues occasionally with make.exe.

Cannot quote directly as replying from mobile as not at home but something along the lines of "-child died waiting for...." resource is currently unavailable.

I assumed it was something halting resource allocation around CPU/Ram. Going to try install a Windows XP VM and see if i can fix the issue later on today.

Thanks for your help Stef!! Glad to see you are still around!! Btw are you still working on SGDK? I know you are a very busy man, and a clever one!!

Cheers!

[UPDATE] Problem seems to have been solved running SGDK & CB under Windows XP via VMware! Cheers
