Small bugs and fixes with Game.cpp / GameMenu.cpp

[reepblue]

I've been playing with the new Game.cpp / GameMenu.cpp code and I noticed some bugs with the code.

First, this wrong, video isn't a boolean and there can be an error if window size vector is missing.

On Line 33 of Game.cpp change:

        bool fullscreen = true;
        if (settings["video"].is_boolean() and settings["video"]["fullscreen"].is_boolean()) fullscreen = settings["video"]["fullscreen"];
        if (settings["video"].is_boolean() and settings["video"]["windowsize"].size() >= 2)
        {
            w = settings["video"]["windowsize"][0];
            h = settings["video"]["windowsize"][1];
        }

To:

        bool fullscreen = true;
        if (settings["video"].is_object() and settings["video"]["fullscreen"].is_boolean()) fullscreen = settings["video"]["fullscreen"];
        if (settings["video"].is_object() and settings["video"]["windowsize"].is_array())
        {
            if (settings["video"]["windowsize"].size() >= 2)
            {
                w = settings["video"]["windowsize"][0];
                h = settings["video"]["windowsize"][1];
            }
        }

 

There's a bug with the window size values not carrying over from one save to another. This is because the window size values only get saved if a new window was created.

Around Line 787 change:

    if (resolutionIndex > 0) {
        bool newFullscreenMode = (fullscreenbutton->GetState() == WIDGETSTATE_SELECTED);
        bool oldFullscreenMode = (Game::window->style & WINDOW_FULLSCREEN) != 0;
        auto& item = resolutionlist->items[resolutionIndex];
        auto s = item.text;
        auto sarr = s.Split(" x ");
        auto w = std::stoi(sarr[0]);
        auto h = std::stoi(sarr[1]);

        if (w != Game::window->size.x || h != Game::window->size.y || newFullscreenMode != oldFullscreenMode) {
            auto style = WINDOW_CENTER | WINDOW_TITLEBAR;
            if (fullscreenbutton->GetState() == WIDGETSTATE_SELECTED) style |= WINDOW_FULLSCREEN;

            auto newWindow = CreateWindow(Game::window->text, Game::window->position.x, Game::window->position.y, w, h, Game::window->display, style);

            if (newWindow) {
                Game::window->SetHidden(true);
                Game::window = newWindow;
                Game::framebuffer = CreateFramebuffer(Game::window);
                ui->SetSize(Game::framebuffer->size);
                Game::settings["video"]["windowsize"] = {};
                Game::settings["video"]["windowsize"][0] = Game::window->size.x;
                Game::settings["video"]["windowsize"][1] = Game::window->size.y;
                Game::settings["video"]["fullscreen"] = (Game::window->style & WINDOW_FULLSCREEN) != 0;
            }
        }
    }

To:

    if (resolutionIndex > 0) {
        bool newFullscreenMode = (fullscreenbutton->GetState() == WIDGETSTATE_SELECTED);
        bool oldFullscreenMode = (Game::window->style & WINDOW_FULLSCREEN) != 0;
        auto& item = resolutionlist->items[resolutionIndex];
        auto s = item.text;
        auto sarr = s.Split(" x ");
        auto w = std::stoi(sarr[0]);
        auto h = std::stoi(sarr[1]);

        if (w != Game::window->size.x || h != Game::window->size.y || newFullscreenMode != oldFullscreenMode) {
            auto style = WINDOW_CENTER | WINDOW_TITLEBAR;
            if (fullscreenbutton->GetState() == WIDGETSTATE_SELECTED) style |= WINDOW_FULLSCREEN;

            auto newWindow = CreateWindow(Game::window->text, Game::window->position.x, Game::window->position.y, w, h, Game::window->display, style);

            if (newWindow) {
                Game::window->SetHidden(true);
                Game::window = newWindow;
                Game::framebuffer = CreateFramebuffer(Game::window);
                ui->SetSize(Game::framebuffer->size);
            }
        }

        Game::settings["video"]["windowsize"] = {};
        Game::settings["video"]["windowsize"][0] = Game::window->size.x;
        Game::settings["video"]["windowsize"][1] = Game::window->size.y;
        Game::settings["video"]["fullscreen"] = (Game::window->style & WINDOW_FULLSCREEN) != 0;
    }

There's also a bug with Post Processing effects being applied when the map already has effects applied.

 

Bonus:

When the game un-pauses with the FPSPlayer, the camera will spin to where the mouse is currently is. This is because freelookstarted needs to be set back to false. 

I just added the function to have the listen to EVENT_WORLDPAUSE and added this to the ProcessEvent function

	case EVENT_WORLDPAUSE:
		freelookstarted = false;
		break;

Actually, there also seems to be a mismatch with SetShadowQuality. The default setting is high, but the menu reports the medium setting. There's no GetShadowQuality to start as a base value for the menu.

You also have camera->ClearPostEffects() only being called only if the posteffect array has a size greater than 0. This will allow the user to only set the effect on but turn it off.

Change:

                    // Post Effects
                    auto peIt = videoSettings.find("posteffects");
                    if (videoSettings["posteffects"].is_array())
                    {
                        auto& posteffects = videoSettings["posteffects"];
                        camera->ClearPostEffects();
                        for (int n = 0; n < posteffects.size(); ++n)
                        {
                            if (not posteffects[n].is_string()) continue;
                            std::string path = posteffects[n];
                            auto fx = LoadPostEffect(path);
                            if (fx) camera->AddPostEffect(fx);
                        }
                    }

To:

            // Post Effects
            if (not videoSettings["posteffects"].is_null())
            {
                camera->ClearPostEffects();
                if (videoSettings["posteffects"].is_array())
                {
                    auto& posteffects = videoSettings["posteffects"];
                    for (int n = 0; n < posteffects.size(); ++n)
                    {
                        if (not posteffects[n].is_string()) continue;
                        std::string path = posteffects[n];
                        auto fx = LoadPostEffect(path);
                        if (fx) camera->AddPostEffect(fx);
                    }
                }
            }

The MSAA and textureanisotropy setting doesn't apply correctly ether.

If the game is launched with the -devmode command line switch, the window size is not supposed to get saved to the settings. When you are working with the editor or the C++ debugger, you typically don't want a fullscreen window, so a smaller window is used. The setting only gets saved if the user manually changes the windows size in the settings.
