Hmm, did you link your dll with the new Sdk ? Also maybe you didn't notice but the binding code have changed a bit with the switch to luau

Im using latest version. I noticed that:

// any destructor function now expects void* instead of lua_State*
//in g_initializePlugin
lua_pushcnfunction(L, ImGui_impl::loader,"plugin_init_imgui");

and thats it. Something else?

SinisterSoft said:
@rrraptor Based on your experience, can you update this: https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Compiling_Gideros_Source

Well, I compiled player only, not everything, but Ill try

hgy29 · January 2022

@rrraptor, for some reason the player can't load the DLL, since it doesn't appear in the 'package.preload' table. It could be because of 64bit / 32bit mismatch (different toolchain used to build the dll and the player), or because the DLL has a dependancy that cannot be met. Did you switch to QT 6.2.2 with mingw 64 ?

hgy29 · January 2022

Gideros 2022.1.1 is ready, fixing most of the issues reported here.

thanks, will try. how come it is almost half the size as before?
is the issue with slow setfullscreen on/off fixed too?

Yes, Im using 6.2.2 + mingw64.
I had a problem with

make -f scripts/Makefile.gid versioning

My Makefile.def looks like this:

QTBASEDIR=/d/Qt6
QT_ARCH=mingw900_64
QT_TOOLSARCH=mingw900_64
QTVER=Tools
QT5ICUVER=53

Notice that I have to type "Tools" in QTVER in order to make it work, because if I put "6.2.2" there, Im getting an error (cant tell right now)
This is the struct I have:

keszegh · January 2022

EDITED.

i still have to start two players for the second time to the studio to see one of them.

keszegh · January 2022

setfullscreen on/off still leads to a major freeze (i had to force close the app from task manager).

It is smaller because compressed with LZMA instead of ZLIB.
And no I didn't fix the 'setfullscreen' issue, mostly because I don't know where to start with this one, since nothing changed in Gideros so that must be something with QT6

i see, that's quite a big problem though, which can be tested with this tiny code:

_fullscreen=false
function onKeyUp()
	_fullscreen=not _fullscreen
	application:setFullScreen(_fullscreen)	  
end
 
stage:addEventListener(Event.KEY_DOWN, onKeyUp,self)

hgy29 · January 2022

@keszegh, I just had a try with your code, and couldn't spot any performance issue, except that setFullscreen seems to make the app span all screens, which is incorrect.

keszegh · January 2022

@hgy29 perhaps it crashes for me because i use an external monitor.
also what i noticed that even when it works then setfullscreen(false) does not return the window to its previous size but it remains to be the same size as the screen, just not full-screen but in a window.

Ok, that helped. Recompiled everything again, but still, cant load dlls

keszegh · January 2022

@rrraptor , @hgy29 would it be possible to generate a non-beta imgui dll for the version before luau switch? (2021.1)? i think i will need to use that version for some indefinite time further (given the issues with fullscreen e.g. and also zbs) and would be great to have a dll of size 1.5mb instead of 13mb.
thanks

rrraptor · January 2022

Fullcreen works for me, but only once

after calling application:setFullscreen(true), application:setFullscreen(false) does nothing.
And yes, it behaves weirdly when you have 2 monitors (and more, I guess):

rrraptor · January 2022

@hgy29 ah, Im a dumbass xD I need to put dll's into plugins folder. Now it works

thanks for testing also, i have similar experience.

hgy29 · January 2022

I fixed the setFullscreen(false) issue (not restoring correct window size), it was due to a conflict with player autoscale feature, and thus desktop export was probably working. But no luck about making the window go fullscreen on a single screen when you have multiple screens merged together.

keszegh · January 2022

@hgy29 , the desktop export crashed on me also when doing setFullscreen false/true repeatedly.

hgy29 · January 2022

It didn’t crash for me yet, but I fixed a crash caused by listener destructors, not sure how that could possibly relate

keszegh · January 2022

@hgy29 , i will be happy to test the next version when it comes.

I can build only player for you

Or atleast I can try )))
But it seems like @hgy29 have not pushed changes to github.

hgy29 · January 2022

I have just pushed my latest changes, but @SinisterSoft reported an issue about ads plugin on Android, and I'd like to investigate it before I build a full release

hgy29 · January 2022

BTW, @rrraptor, if you want to try luau type checking, you can enable it in Gideros Studio 2022.1.1 under "Tools/Type checking"

hito9 · January 2022

Hi again,

Thanks to hgy29 and those who contributed you guyz. keymap.ini implementation works well. All examples almost work fine. More feedbacks for this Gideros 2022.1.1 luau version on wine.

Wine build: wine-7.0-rc5
Platform: x86_64
Version: Windows 7
Host system: Linux
Host version: 5.16.1-arch1-1

Every time I start the Gideros Studio and Player there was no connection. Every start I have to click Menu -> PLayer -> Locolhost Toggle then provided connection.

In the first run for "Drag Me" example there was no main.lua file in theLibrary tree. I had to link main.lua but Player became disfunctional. After Menu -> PLayer -> Locolhost Toggle click Studio could load main.lua to Player side again.

Here is the dataSaver Gideros class implementation to work your project. But You should also change dataSaver.loadValue() call to dataSaver:loadValue() call. I don't know, there may be the smarter way?

dataSaver.lua

require "json"
 
dataSaver = Core.class()
 
function dataSaver:init()
 
end
 
function dataSaver:saveValue(key, value)
	--temp variable
	local app
	--default data storage
	local path = "|D|app.txt"
	--open file
	local file = io.open(path, "r")
	if file then
		-- read all contents of file into a string
		local contents = file:read( "*a" )
		--Decode json
		app = json.decode(contents)
		io.close( file )	-- close the file after using it
		--if file was empty
		if(not app.data) then
			app.data = {}
		end
		--store value in table
		app.data[key] = value
		--Encode table to json
		contents = json.encode(app)
		--open file
		local file = io.open( path, "w" )
		--store json string in file
		file:write( contents )
		--close file
		io.close( file )
	else
		--if file doesn't exist
		--create default structure
		app = {data = {}}
		--store value
		app.data[key] = value
		--Encode in json
		local contents = json.encode(app)
		--create file
		local file = io.open( path, "w" )
		--save json string in file
		file:write( contents )
		--close file
		io.close( file )
	end
end
function dataSaver:loadValue(key)
	--temp variable
	local app
	local path = "|D|app.txt"
	--open file
	local file = io.open( path, "r" )
	if file then
		--read contents
		local contents = file:read( "*a" )
		--Decode json
		app = json.decode(contents)
		if(not app.data) then app.data = {} end
		--return value
		return app.data[key]
	end
	--if doesn't exist
	return nil
end
 
function dataSaver:save( filename, dataTable )
	local path = filename..".json"
	--Encode table into json string
	local jsonString = json.encode( dataTable )
	-- io.open opens a file at path. Creates one if doesn't exist
	local file = io.open( path, "w" )
	if file then
		--write json string into file
	   file:write( jsonString )
	   -- close the file after using it
	   io.close( file )
	end
end
 
function dataSaver:load( filename )
	local path = filename..".json"
 
	-- will hold contents of file
	local contents
 
	-- io.open opens a file at path. returns nil if no file found
	local file = io.open( path, "r" )
	if file then
		-- read all contents of file into a string
		contents = file:read( "*a" )
		-- close the file after using it
		io.close( file )
		--return Decoded json string
		return json.decode( contents )
	else
		--or return nil if file didn't ex
		return nil
	end
end
 
dataSaver = dataSaver.new()

io.lines() method doesn't get along with Luau. Here is the objloader lua file with prettified indentations(otherwise it's hard to catch a bug) and string.gfind replacement that fixes 3D Horse example. Also you should replace string.gfind to string.gmatch method in your files(Edit:including bitmapfont.lua) because string.gfind method had been removed in lua 5.2

By th way How do i overcome "You cant post links" warning?

hito9 · January 2022

@hgy29 Gideros 2022.1.1 works well with a simple project but gives this output

Unhandled exception: illegal instruction in 64-bit code (0x000000032cf05e58)

with a more complex project include lots of box2d contacts, play multiple sounds. May be problem on qt6 side or wine side, i don't know.

hgy29 · January 2022

@hito9, yes I know there is at least one crash that could occur in complex situations (about destructing listeners), I'll post a 2022.1.2 next week, hopefully that will solve some more issues.
Thanks for your feedback.

MoKaLux · January 2022

@hito9 yes thank you for the feedback I couldn't make 3d horse work, now I can

PS: when you enable tools->type checking you can discover some more goodies (cf SinisterSoft previous post)

@hito9 I am working on a 2d platformer and transfered it to gideros luau https://github.com/mokalux/GDOC_03_B2D_PLATFORMER_U (WIP)

you can maybe try it on your machine?
It uses data saver, b2d joints, ...

PS2: gideros wiki will need some update

ahmedmaawy · January 2022

Hi @hgy29 . For some reason on the 2022.1 and 2022.1.1 the Addons Menu does not seem to show anything and fails to display anything. When you open that menu for the 1st time it shows an empty drop down menu box, and after that it does not render any drop down.

Howdy, Stranger!
