New configurator
« on: 13 May 2010, 20:07:33 »
I finally got around to writing this...improved version of the original configurator. Basically the only new features are that it has an (optional =P) option in the XML that allows it to use either kind of boolean (true/false or 1/0), and tooltips for the descriptions of the options rather than a [?] button on the window decoration. Also, the GUI uses the XP skin.

Anyway, you can download it at http://www.mediafire.com/?nndz2mz2rjw.

Sadly, it requires .NET 3.5, so it isn't cross-platform (unless someone can teach me how to use xerces-c...).

Edit: New version. I changed it slightly so that the tab pages can be scrolled in, the last element in the table of each tab isn't stretched to fill the extra space, and I added a size limit to the window.

Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?5uqjyzbhvmt

I'm planning to add a tab to edit the plain text of the INI, I'll probably have it up later today.

Edit: I forgot to say, it's written in C# rather than C++.  =|

If desired you could always grab the configurator from the Mega-glest trunk. It compiles on both win32 and linux and all you need to do is provide the GAE specific entries in the xml file. It already supports 1/0 true/false for boolean and has a few improvements.

There is a solution for VC++ 2008 express to compile it too (and of course JAM for linux).

Thanks

Aww, darn. I guess I shouldn't have waited so long to write this one. =P

Edit: Actually, mine *is* an improvement, because it looks like they just took my configuration.xml, modified it to remove the GAE settings, and then packed it with their fancier configurator (about the only changes in it are that it has the XP theme and it's scalable, though only the window and the description text box scale). But the point of mine was to make the checkboxes (bools in the XML) have the ability to have either 1/0 booleans or true/false booleans. Also, in mine, the tab pages actually scale properly, which is nice if you're entering long strings in your text boxes. And there's the fact that mine uses tooltips instead of the text box at the bottom.

By the way, I did only make this so that I could learn the .NET XML interface better (this is only my second project involving XML), so don't expect the code to be really good. =|

Erm... so... the fact they are so similar... does it make it possible to have the GAE configurator to compile on Linux?
I can get you a 32 bit binary if you get me a source tarball. ;D

What are so similar? The .NET XML interface and xerces-c? And how can code from Visual C# be compatible with Linux? ^.~

Anyway, here's the source: http://www.mediafire.com/?ym4mrzd2kmz

Btw, there may be a few broken things in it, I didn't check.

Sorry... kinda hasty post of mine... :-[

However, I don't know how much you changed in the code (from the old configurator) though and how much trouble it would be to "translate" that to xerces-c and C++...
Guess you were pretty clear on this on your last post though. ;D

Thanks. :)

My preference was C# for tools, but I was out voted  :P

...and how much trouble it would be to "translate" that to xerces-c and C++...

We haven't used xerces for some time now, the translation would be to C++ with wxWidgets, but in this case I think simply taking the megaglest version would be more sensible.  Effort appreciated Zaggy, :thumbup: but C++ is the way forward.

Just a note regarding C#. Its a nice language and all but...

it takes a crazy effort to actually get working in linux. Supertux's editor uses C3 and Itell you I never had such a hard time getting things setup. More importantly is that the versions of .net framework create dependency issues in linux which is a nightmare.

Well, I could translate the code to C++...I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too hard.

How hard do you think it would be for me to change it to wxWidgets?

Btw, I didn't use the source code from the old configurator, because I couldn't figure out how to compile it in Visual C++ 2008 Express. Besides, having to compile all of Glest just to change the configurator isn't of much worth. If there's a method of only compiling the configurator and nothing else, then I'll take it, but otherwise, I'll stick with making my own version.

Yeah, I know. That's what I said in my first post.

Edit: I've decided I'm just going to try and figure out how to get the ol' C++ one to compile on its own...

Just an FYI, the configurator doesn't need all of glest to compile. It needs the shared library only (which I beleive is a good idea to share the code for bothj glest and config program) so that you get the same results when reading / writing to the xml.

Thanks

How exactly do you set up wxWidgets? I installed it, but I have no clue how to get VC++ to recognize it.

Edit: Nvm...I got it to work, now all I have to do is figure xerces-c out. =P

Edit: Now that I've got xerces-c, I need to know what version of wxWidgets GAE 0.2.12 used, since it's getting errors (seemingly) because of changes to the parameters used to create controls. >.<

Not sure what version you used by if you grab the win32 dependencies archive from sourceforge from mega-glest you should be able to compile everything. I think that the GAE tools are likley close to identical to the mega-glest ones, we recently pulled in the GAE map editor updates.

Thanks

See http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/glestae/wiki/CompileGuide for building GAE.
I'm not sure if the VC project works atm. Could be broken, better use CMake.

We don't use xerces-c anymore. It's replaced with tinyxml which is part of shared_lib.
The newest version of wxWidgets is a good idea and should work.

EDIT: Oh, sorry. I just read you are talking about GAE 0.2.12. The above only applies to svn trunk, not 0.2.x.
If you get errors please post them, so we can have a look.

If you plan to get your changes integrated better use subversion and get the newest code.

Btw, if it's using tinyXML for it, then I'd prefer to use the latest version instead. But still, I doubt these errors would be cleared up if I switched, anyway.

Edit: It doesn't seem like the configurator has been updated to use tinyXML...I guess that's another improvement that I could try doing on it. =D

Well...I got it so that it would compile, but now it's getting errors in linking.

you need to link with,
shared_lib.lib

and on a release build,
wxbase28.lib
wxmsw28_core.lib
wxmsw28_gl.lib

and for debug config,
wxbase28d.lib
wxmsw28d_core.lib
wxmsw28d_gl.lib

CMake can do this all for you if you wish to switch to trunk.
I also recently also uploaded a new dependencies package which changed the directory layout so CMake could find wxWidgets properly,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/glestae/files/win_dev_deps/win_deps.7z/download
extract that wherever you like, then when you run CMake set a 'path' called GAE_WINDEPS to point to it.
(I also recommend adding '/build' to the 'where to build the binaries' option, this is where you project files will be placed.



Then it should be a simple matter of pressing configure twice and then generate.

Cheers.

I'm not using CMake. Should I be?

Btw, I did add all the directories that were necessary before. Does shared_lib have to be compiled to a .lib first for it to work?

Also, you do realize I'm just trying to compile the four files in the configurator directory and not all of GAE, right?

If you checked out trunk it would be better. It creates VC project for you.

Yes, you need shared_lib. The configurator is linked against it.

I do have it linked against it. It's linked against everything it seems to need. It's just it keeps on getting that linking error.

Btw, wouldn't CMake make a project containing all of Glest, and not just the configurator? I'd rather just have the files necessary for the configurator compiling when I'm debugging it, otherwise it'll take forever to finish.

No, CMake generates targets for every library/executable. You can still just build the configurator which just builds shared_lib before. So only the needed stuff is built.

@debugging: I don't get what you are talking about. If you change some files only the needed objects are rebuild and linked with the rest together. Visual Studio even does linking incremental. So only the first time compiling takes "much" time and glest is far from big.

So, use CMake. It's there for a reason: It works and is maintained from us.

You can even delete the other projects if you want, I do this all the time so I can simply rebuild solution with F7 and not have to worry about the other junk, is much easier than selecting the game project to build each time.  With CMake you can treat the project files with utter disdain, if you screw anything up, you can regenerate them with a few mouse clicks.

So, use CMake. It's there for a reason: It works and is maintained from us.
Maybe OT but... Who is "us"?

From Ubuntu's 9.10 cmake 2.6.4 package description:
Quote
CMake was developed by Kitware as part of the NLM Insight
Segmentation and Registration Toolkit project. The ASCI VIEWS project
also provided support in the context of their parallel computation
environment. Other sponsors include the Insight, VTK, and VXL open
source software communities

I meant the build scripts not CMake itself.

So...CMake successfully configured the project, but it doesn't appear to have added the configurator to the project. (If it has, I have no clue where it put it...)

And besides that, when I try to compile the solution, it gives these errors:

Looks like you're still using the old project files, which don't include a configurator project, and since they are no longer maintained, still reference the now deleted checksum.cpp.

If you added 'build/' as I suggested, the new project files would be created in that directory, not in amongst source like the old ones were/are (will delete them tonight).

If CMake found wxWidgets, the configurator will get a project.

Well, it didn't seem to have created the projects, so I tried configuring it again, and now it's giving this error:

It was actually giving another error at the top before, about CMake not being able to open one of its temp files. It said something about a parsing error. =|

Edit: I ran CMake again, and it came back with the aforementioned error.
