Advanced Question Drawing on a texture in VC

[Urwumpe]

The x coordinate of the end point of the rectangle is 114 + level * (346 - 114). Read API Docs, the third parameter is not the width of the rectangle but the end x-coordinate.

Thanks. works now.:thumbup:

on the nav lights. what I meant was these. right now we have them like the button mesh. but on the shuttle A they are part of the background. So when the horizon level is pressed then the horizon level lights up. Sames for switching rcs,....

 

[marcogavazzeni]

You want to draw a bitmap as in the DG? Is complicated to explain, I recommend you look and study the codes of the DG and Shuttle A, alternatively you can use the mesh that is much more simple.

Thanks. What do you mean use the mesh.

Right now we have the nav mode button as seperate meshes like the buttons on a mfd. So we have hor-levl, hold alt,.....

But what we want is when that is clicked then the texture changes? to a lit one.

You can for example edit the texture coordinates of a vertex. Which means essentially, you have a texture with both states, and show only one state at a time.

 

[gattispilot]

Interesting. So looking at the DG. They have a texture for all those button. The texture has a lit state and non lit state. So if hold alt is selected change the texture from unlit to lit.

I am going to look at the code for that.

 

[marcogavazzeni]

Alternatively, you can also use devmeshandle ...

 

[Urwumpe]

About your performance issues - you use ALWAYS for drawing the fuel bar, which means in every frame of Orbiter, even if it did not change. You could improve the performance for example by redrawing only in 2% steps by checking the propellant level against the currently displayed propellant level and triggering a manual redraw in your poststep code then.

Thanks. The fps issue actually occurred before this. Right now I am trying to get the bar to draw on the Endurance. The thrust is applied but no bar.

void ENDURANCE::RedrawPanel_Fuelstatus(SURFHANDLE surf, int part)

{
	char cbuf[20];
	HDC hDC = oapiGetDC(surf);




	double level = GetThrusterLevel(th_main[0]);
	//double m = GetPropellantMass(tank);

	SelectObject(hDC, g_Param.hBrush[0]);//green box
	Rectangle(hDC, 114, 34, (int)(114 + level * (346 - 114)), 75);



	//Rectangle(hDC, 110, 110, (int)((110.0 - m / FUELMASS)*3.2), 160);



	oapiReleaseDC(surf, hDC);

}

void ENDURANCE::RedrawPanel_Fuelstatus(SURFHANDLE surf, int part)

{
	char cbuf[20];
	HDC hDC = oapiGetDC(surf);




	double level = GetThrusterLevel(th_main[0]);
	//double m = GetPropellantMass(tank);

	SelectObject(hDC, g_Param.hBrush[0]);//green box
	Rectangle(hDC, 114, 34, (int)(114 + level * (346 - 114)), 75);



	//Rectangle(hDC, 110, 110, (int)((110.0 - m / FUELMASS)*3.2), 160);



	oapiReleaseDC(surf, hDC);

}

"FUELMASS" are not declared.

In my code bars are drawn

void Eagle::RedrawPanel_Fuelstatus(SURFHANDLE surf, int part)

{	
	HDC hDC = oapiGetDC(surf);
	double level = GetThrusterLevel(th_main[0]);
	double m = GetPropellantMass(tank);

	SelectObject(hDC, g_Param.hBrush[0]);//green box
	Rectangle(hDC, 114, 34, (int)(114 + level * (232)), 75);
	Rectangle(hDC, 114, 110, (int)((114.0 + [COLOR="Red"](m/39)[/COLOR] )), 160);

	oapiReleaseDC(surf, hDC);

}

Rectangle(hDC, A, B, (int)(A + (value)), C); //MAIN PROP
Rectangle(hDC, A, D, (int)(A + (value)), E); //MAIN ENG

L1 and L2 is in pixel,in this case 232 pixel, (346 - 114)=232.

If you have 1000 kg of fuel mass ---> 1000/232 = 4.3 ----> 1 pixel = 4.3 kg of fuel mass ----> (m/4.3)

My vessel have 9000 kg of fuel mass,9000/232 =38.79 (m/39)

GetThrusterLevel value is 0.0 to 1.0 (level * 232)
I think.....

 

[gattispilot]

Success Thanks. But another issue is the Frame rate. Using the same meshes in a sc3 we get high frame rate but is a dll version we get low fps. I get 45 in sc3 and in the dll 12.

Well every once in a while I get a soft ctd

 

[marcogavazzeni]

With D3D9 12fps??

 

[gattispilot]

Not sure about the soft exit. In D3d9 I get 54 fps. I regular graphics client 12. But the sc3 is 45.

All it has is the stuff to run 4 mfds and virtual view stuff.

How many polygons does the VC have? And what are you doing in Post/Prestep

 

[marcogavazzeni]

You already low FPS without VC.

I believe that the writing area of the bars is very large, however, try to exclude mfd and bars to see which of the highest decrease of fps.

 

[gattispilot]

NOT D3D9 external 27 fps no vc 22 vc 9



on the main mesh: 68103 vertices, 51981 triangles.
on the vc 38 vertices 198 triangles.

now we have to load the main mesh twice as it is also loaded as vc.

// visual specs
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_Vessel	= AddMesh(meshhg_Vessel	= oapiLoadMeshGlobal(FILENAME_ENDURANCE12)), MESHVIS_ALWAYS | MESHVIS_EXTPASS);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_VC1 = AddMesh(meshhg_Vessel), MESHVIS_VC);
	SetMeshVisibilityMode(meshi_VC = AddMesh(meshhg_VC = oapiLoadMeshGlobal(FILENAME_ENDURANCE22VC)), MESHVIS_VC);

The reason was because of a clipping because the main mesh is set at MESHVIS_EXTPASS

What does SendHudMessage(const char *) do?

Looks more like a SendHudMessage(const char *, ...).

That function writes to the hud UMMU status,.... In the vc mode we were drawing that info on a laptop screen. But I took that out.

WE HAD THIS:

void ENDURANCE::SendHudMessage(char const * const msg, ...)
{
    va_list args;
	
	va_start(args, msg);
	vsprintf(cUmmuHudDisplay, msg, args);
	va_end(args);

	LAPTOPTerminalScreen->SetHeader(cUmmuHudDisplay);
	//HABLAPTOPTerminalScreen->SetHeader(cUmmuHudDisplay);

	UmmuHudDisplayTime = 10.0; // Seconds to keep the mesg on the HUD
}

I went back to the "standard" way the hud messages were written. And no change in fps.

You are right, I had only seen the simple version there.
