I haven't had time to follow the CC2-list so I can only give general
comments:

1. All calculations are done with single precision floating point. It is
easier to spot for curves than for lines (since they use more calculations).
However I rarely see this as a problem for XP programming.

2. Intersections between splines will mostly work

3. Intersecting two ellipses will not work

4. Depending on the entities you will get intersections outside the
entities. I.e. if you intersect two lines the intersection point can be
outside the entities.

A few comments to the code:

> //First append a empty record to the drawing list
> pEntRec=DLApndE(NULL,pEntRec,100);

This is supposed to be:

pEntRec=DLApndE(NULL, ET_PATH2, sizeof(PATH2)+Count*sizeof(GPOINT2));

The parameters are:

1. Drawing list (NULL for the main drawing)
2. Entity type
3. Size (in bytes)

> //Set the type to path
> pEntRec->CStuff.EType=ET_PATH2;

This is not needed if entity type is set in the call to DLApndE

> // Resize the entity so that it can contain all of the nodes
>
> //(Depth is one of my variables in the fractal commands:
> // the number of nodes is a power of two in a fractalized path)
>
> pEntRec=DLResize(DLClone(pEntRec),pEntRec->CStuff.ERLen+(8*pow
> (2,Depth)));

The DLClone will make a copy and save the original for undo later. When
adding a new entity this is not needed. DLResize will change the size of the
entity. It is easier to set this in DLApndE.

> //EParm holds a float that is one less than the nodecount
>
> pEntRec->Path.Path.EParm=(float)NodeCount-1;

Eparm is the T-value where the curve will stop. If you for example trim a
spline it will still keep all nodes and just set the EParm to the correct
stop value. If trim would move nodes the curve would not have stayed in the
same location.

When createing new entities you should use:

For open paths:

pEntRec->Path.Path.EParm=(float)pEntRec->Path.Path.Count-1;

For closed paths (polygons)

pEntRec->Path.Path.EParm=(float)pEntRec->Path.Path.Count;



Conclusion there are a lot of ways to do this stuff. Here is another
alternative for Lees code:

//First append a empty record to the drawing list
pEntRec=DLApndE(NULL, ET_PATH2, sizeof(PATH2)+NodeCount*sizeof(GPOINT2));

// GetCStuff sets all the common entity stuff with the current set values
GetCStuff(pEntRec);

//NodeCount holds my number of nodes and NodeArray holds the actual nodes
for (i=0;i<NodeCount;i++)
   pEntRec->Path.Path.Nodes[i]=NodeArray[i];

pEntRec->Path.Path.Count=NodeCount;
pEntRec->Path.Path.EParm=(float)pEntRec->Path.Path.Count-1;
pEntRec->Path.Path.SmType=0;
pEntRec->Path.Path.SRes=8;
pEntRec->Path.Path.SParm=0;

//Draw your new path
EDraw(pEntRec);



Good luck!

Peter

Peter, thanks a lot.  I think I understand everything you said.  Don't think I'd
ever have
figured it out without this.

I'm making progress on my first XP, and I've come upon a couple of questions:
1) DLResize-The docs are a little unclear on this.  If I make a call to this
with an existing
entity to either reduce or expand the size (for paths to reduce or expand the
number of
nodes), does the routine copy the data in the existing entity into the resized
entity?
2) FormatSt-When I am trying to use data packets to display information, the
example files
only include the usage with global variables in a packet.  I want to be able to
display
function parameters.  How can I use packets within a function rather than in
global
packets?  This also would have the advantage of not having to declare so many
global
variables.

Yes. It will also update the ERLen automatically.

FORMSTPKT(lpszTest, "Coordinates !01 and length !02", 2)
   {(DWORD *)NULL, FT_2dC4, FJ_Var, 5, FDP_User},
   {(DWORD *)NULL, FT_Dist4, FJ_Var, 5, FDP_User},
FORMSTEND

lpszTest._item[0].vadr=(DWORD *)&Pt;
lpszTest._item[1].vadr=(DWORD *)&Length;

FormSt(&lpszTest, RSC(FD_InfoBox));


You can also declare the packets inside a local function. The variables just
need to be declared the FROMSTPKT.

Peter

Thanks once again, Peter.

You have to write your own glue routines to do this. Most of hte ones you
are asking for might be in the setup below:

http://www.pkdata.se/xp/download/fcwxp.exe

Look for MySvc.c and MySvc.h

If they are not included there someone else on this list might
have the files.

The CityWall example will probably use them as well. There should in any
case be some early posts on this list in the archive discussing this.

http://www.pkdata.se/xp/download/CityWall.zip

Sorry for not being able to send the files directly but I'm in Hungary
right now to compete in the European hot air balloon championship. The
first competion flight is tomorrow morning.

Peter

Thanks, Peter.  You're always a big help.  Good luck on the balooning!

I cannot get your solution for putting packets into the body of a function to
work.  When I
insert the code below into a function, I get a ton of errors, starting with:
c:\Documents and Settings\Dale Sykora\My Documents\Visual
Studio\Projects\CC2toFT\CC2toFTNow.C(237) : error C2143: syntax error : missing
';'
before '<class-head>'
c:\Documents and Settings\Dale Sykora\My Documents\Visual
Studio\Projects\CC2toFT\CC2toFTNow.C(237) : error C2275: 'ItemFmt' : illegal use
of this
type as an expression
         c:\xpdev\_FORMST.H(17) : see declaration of 'ItemFmt'
c:\Documents and Settings\Dale Sykora\My Documents\Visual
Studio\Projects\CC2toFT\CC2toFTNow.C(237) : error C2146: syntax error : missing
';'
before identifier '_item'

I want to store some information in a map file.  What is to keep me from
defining a custom
entity that would never draw anything but could be obtained by an XP to recover
that
information?  Is there anything wrong with doing this?  I could make thee Get
Info request
return the stored info in a text manner.
--Dale--

Doesn't the note entity (ID 129 or 0x81/81h as defined in the header if
I recall) do this for you? It lets you store text information in the
file and also allows users to edit this information via the notes
facility in CC2. You'd have to parse the text info and users could screw
things up, but it does make it a little easier in many cases. Plus, it's
already a defined type and has a built-in editor.

Okay, Joe.  That's a good point, and it is certainly a way to get a
quicker start.  I guess my dialog box to obtain and generate the items
could build a note item pretty easily.  Thanks, Joe

Forwarded from Mike Riddle:

There is no problem with making a custom entity that never draws, except:
You will need to provide your own way to create, access, and delete such
records, as the only other way to delete it would be to delete all  Type=XP
entity entities (you could also use layer or color etc to modify the selection
for the delete). If you do this, I would recommend putting all such entities on
a specific layer devoted to them. Notes are simpler, but as jslaton points out, 
they allow you less control over how the user works with them.

Peter, I'm still learning XP's, so any sample code available is very
valuable to me.  I'd love to see it.  For right now, I think I'm going
to use Joe's idea.  This gives me a visible way to use the interface to
see what my program is doing and to bypass my dialog box if I want to.
Later, I'd like to do the custom entity thing, and I think I'll use the
Layer idea.  The other possibility might be to put them on a sheet by
themselves that doesn't draw, but the layer is probably the best
option.  I really appreciate all the helpful suggestions!

Hi :)

I've just run into a situation where I need to delete the Notes from about 300
maps, so I am looking for an easy way to do this. Can I do it via a script file?
If so, what would the parameters look like? I really don't want to have to open
every map up, delete the Note, Save & repeat :)

Thanks in advance for any hints on this!

Linda

I thought there was one written for the FR Atlas Project. I will look
through my notes to see if I can find it. (The one where we had to add that
little Copyright Note to the Notes (I think it was the TSR/WOTC Copyright
Statement)

Hi John,

Adding them isn't the problem :) Getting rid of them is. I'll have a look
through my FR Atlas stuff as well. Thanks for the idea!

Hi Linda,

If you don't mind compiling the command yourself you can try the stuff
below. I haven't tested it, but it should work anyway.

DWORD XPCALL DeleteNotesScan(hDLIST hDList, pENTREC pEntRec, PARM parm1,
PARM parm2)
{
   if(pEntRec->CStuff.EType==ET_NOTE)
     DLErase(pEntRec);
   return 0;
}

void XPCALL DeleteNotesCmd(void)
{
   ClearSel();
   MarkUndo();
   DLScan(NULL, DeleteNotesScan, DLS_Std, 0, 0);
   CmdEnd();
}

Peter

Hello one and all.  I don't post much but I do read almost all of
the messages.

I just wanted to inform everyone that my web site is doing a user
created world made in CC2.  The users get to vote on what they want
to see in a generic RPG world and then Myself and anyone that wants
to help will create the maps based on the votes.

Check it out, or just stop in to cast a vote.

http://www.dungeoncrawlers.com

You will see a heading under 7 recent Topics in forum that says User
Created World or go to the message boards under CC2.

or go here for the form to vote

http://www.dungeoncrawlers.com/index.php?
module=FormExpress&func=display_form&form_id=3

We hope to provide a whole generic world full of maps for anyone to
use for free.

Thanks

Highland Piper

Subject: [cc2-dev-l] Dynamic Text String Cursor

Hello All,

 

I'm trying to get a Dynamic Text Cursor to work.  This is the code that I've written thus far.

 

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

int XPCALL TextCsr (float X, float Y, int ScrnX, int ScrnY)
{
     HDR *Header=GetHeaderAdr();
     GTEXT2 Txt;
 
     Txt.Font=Header->TSpec.Font;
     Txt.Hght=Header->TSpec.Hgt;
     Txt.XScl=Header->TSpec.XScl;
     Txt.TData[0]='A';
     Txt.TData[1]='\0';
     Txt.Origin.x=X;
     Txt.Origin.y=Y;
     Txt.Just=1; //1 Above : 7 Below : 4 Centered
     Txt.BAng=0.0f;

     DText2(&Txt);

     return RDC_XHOPT;
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

What I'm doing is just trying to get a dynamic uppercase letter 'A'  as the cursor.  It sort of works. 

My question to the experts are:

1) The letter 'A' is hollow and leaves a ghost image when the mouse is clicked.

2) When this test works, I want to use a string of more than one character, but GTEXT2.TData is just 2 characters long.  How do you do a long char array?

 

Thanks,

Lee

Lee, I'm in, and I hereby volunteer for guinea pig!

I would like to use C#, myself.  I find it's memory management to be
much less of a headache.
