Example Newbie Miyagi Project?

Hey there, I've heard so many good things about Miyagi, and really would like to try it out (despite the disappearance of the thread).
Unfortunately, there doesnt seem to be a guide on how to actually get it working, which is really frustrating.

I'm currently trawling through the (pretty hidden) example code at http://miyagi.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/miyagi/miyagi/file/b677394a2587/Projects/Examples/Mogre, but as most of us know, climbing inheritance trees just to find out whats going on is the exact opposite of fun.

Would anyone who has acquired this prized Miyagi-knowledge care to write a really simple example project that I (and other newbs) could study?
When I say project, I mean a visual studio 2010 project (.NET 4), but seriously anything that works will do. I will love you forever.

Thanks!

I second this. I don't know how to get Miyagi set up, but past that it looks easy.

Since I'm an amazing guy, and the kittens all over the forum make me happy, I went ahead and made an example project.
Its got some basics on how to set up a gui system (really easy), and examples of a few controls in there. Its not perfect, and might be missing important info, but its what I have learned from both the documentation, and studying elusive snippets from various places. I've also included the tutorial framework (which I slightly altered), and miyagi documentation chm, which is really useful.

Here is the project: http://www.box.com/s/b0fae8271f81d558f320

If you want to just quickly see what the code looks like, here is the class:

Update: I just want to stress, make sure you create a cursor! Your controls will not pick up clicks otherwise (although the InputManager will still fire mouse events)

Thanks!

Here is the project: http://www.box.com/s/b0fae8271f81d558f320
Thank you very much for publishing.

I added a link to the Miyagi wiki page.
Also I added it to the task list of the MogreSDK. So it should be included later.

I just tested your demo.

Here is a screenshot for people who are too lazy for downloading/starting it.


The code is very clear and great for beginners.

Unfortunately the GUI doesn't looks very nice. Also there is not much functionality.
So newcomers could think "Oh, it looks bad. I don't like to use it."

Nice would be to include some interactive elements like scrollbars, checkboxes, an input field, an Exit button (to close the demo), etc.



A local friend of mine created a tiny game called Dunno, which uses Miyagi.
The GUI looks awesome.
The code he published and we are allowed to rip off what we need.
It would be nice to extract the GUI of the game including materials and interativity to build an example for the MogreSDK.
To have this interactive menu as Miyagi demo would be great.

If somebody has questions related to the game, I can invite my friend to this forum topic.

Side note:
The game was created in middle of 2009. So perhaps it's based on an outdated Miyagi version.
Nevertheless I'm shure that the game GUI can be updated to be compatible with the current Miyagi version.

The game was published here:
http://code.google.com/p/dunno/

Here is a screenshot:

I looked to the code and it is very clear.
All Miyagi related code seems to be in one single file:
http://code.google.com/p/dunno/source/b ... no/Menu.cs

Thats really really cool, thanks for sharing!

By your example and your forum topic I remembered that I wanted to publish an information about that.
I know this game for 1 or 2 years now, but there were so many things on my Ogre TODO list that I forgot it.
So it's also a benifit of you that the Mogre users know about this Miyagi example code.

Finally got around to not being lazy and trying this out, but it crashes when I try to run it.

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Mogre.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.

Tried on my desktop(x64) and my netbook(x86) and both give the same error. It works on my cousin's laptop(x64), but not his desktop(x64). All are Windows 7.

Tried adding the code to my project as well, and that was a no go. I think Miyagi hates me. :<

Which demo you mean?
The one of Aralox or the Dunno game?

Both works for me. I just downloaded the projects.
For Dunno I needed to open the Visual Studio file and pushed F5 for compiling. For the Aralox demo I just clicked the exe file.
I also have Win 7 64 bit.

It seems so that you are a newcomer.
Perhaps you need to install/update a depency.
Especially run the DirectX updater (here).

Which Mogre binaries you use?
Do you use Visual Studio 2008 or 2010? (Or a free Express version?)

Does your test application work without Miyagi?
Is there an exception message in the ogre.log file?

I never used Miyagi, but I suppose when it's build, it's linked to Mogre.
This means that you only can use the Miyagi.dll file with the same Mogre binaries as used at build time.
Mixing a Miyagi file with an other Mogre.dll file should cause problems.
(I'm not shure about, but I suppose so. If it's not linked agains Mogre, this should be no problem.)

I suppose more details are written on the Miyagi wiki page or on a linked page.
On the Miyagi sourceforge page you can download the current version.
... I just downloaded it and looked to it. There is also further information inside.

I hope I could help.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Mogre.dll' or one of its dependencies.
It's useful when you add all Mogre binary files and the Miyagi files to your binary output directory (e.g. yourProject\bin\debug).
Don't forget the OgreMain.dll and other files.

Which demo you mean?
The one of Aralox or the Dunno game?
Aralox.
Perhaps you need to install/update a depency.
Possibly. No clue what I would be missing, though. Project seems to come with everything it needs.
Especially run the DirectX updater (here).
Already up to date.
Which Mogre binaries you use?
For my project, whatever the last stable release was. For Aralox's example, the ones that come with it.
Do you use Visual Studio 2008 or 2010? (Or a free Express version?)
Sharpdevelop.
Does your test application work without Miyagi?
Yes.
Is there an exception message in the ogre.log file?
Not in the log, but the console. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Know what it is, just don't know where it's happening.
Having the miyagi example running should be enough for me to figure it out, so I'm not too worried about that.

(I'm not shure about, but I suppose so. If it's not linked agains Mogre, this should be no problem.)
Don't think so. I just stick the newest precompiled DLLs in and add references. Don't compile it myself because that's always been messy with miyagi. Tons of warnings and errors, mostly related to signing, though I can get it to compile with some tweaking. More worried about the example though, as having a working miyagi example will help greatly.

I'm working on a project due in a few days atm, so I wont be able to check this out properly yet, but im guessing the problem is something to do with the IDE. Check that the references and paths are all sorted out in SharpDevelop, and if you still have access to your cousin's laptop play spot-the-difference to see if you can come up with something.
good luck

SharpDevelop
This could be the reason.
The Mogre binaries are compiled by the Visual Studio compiler.
I don't know the current VS state, but in the past the computer needs additional software to run binaries, that were compiled with Visual Studio.
The name is "Microsoft Visual C++ 20xx Redistributable Package" or just "vcredist".
If Visual Studio is installed, the needed depencies are installed automatically. Otherwise you have to install them seperately.
The vcredist version depends to the Visual Studio version, which was used to compile the binaries.
When they were compiled with VS 2008, you need vcredist 2008. If they are compiled with VS 2010, you need vcredist 2010. If you use binaries, which were compiled with different VS versions, you need both. If the binaries were compiled with VS 2008 SP1, you need the vcredist for SP1. The same for VS 2010 SP1.
Yes, it sounds a little bit complex, but it isn't when you know this backgrounds.
Did you install the MogreSDK?
It's a little bit outdated, but it installs all needed depencies for the containing binaries, for example vcredist.

You don't know which binaries you have.
Just install all of these vcredist versions. So you can be shure that this possible problem is solved.
Note: Don't install the x64 version (even when you have Win 64 bit), because Mogre is by default compiled against x86.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

Already up to date.
DirectX 9 became updates (redistributable packages) about 2 times per year, but the version number didn't change.
So to be realy shure, run the web updater.

Could not load file or assembly 'Mogre.dll' or one of its dependencies
Good tools to find out missing depencies (files) are these:

1. Depency Walker - analyse of dll/exe files[/*:m]
   
2. Process Monitor - Use the filter to search for failed file accesses (missing files)[/*:m][/list:u]

Interesting

Do you mean something specific or the whole topic?

Do you mean something specific or the whole topic?
Well, I meant the whole topic, but actually I really just wanted to follow the topic and I couldn't find any way to do it without posting something. To be honest I've been very busy and still haven't had a chance to read the whole topic yet In particular I liked the look of the screenshots when I scrolled through.

I couldn't find any way to do it without posting something
Scroll down to the bottom of a topic. There you'll find a link called "suscribe topic". Just click it.

haven't had a chance to read the whole topic yet
Related to the biggest screenshot:
It's the game Dunno.
Just download the project, go to the binary directory and click the ready to use exe file. (takes only 1 minute)
Then you will see the look, behaviour and sweet smell of a great Miyagi GUI example. (takes only a second minute)

Have fun!

Hey moron (lol), I just had this problem running my game on my bro's comp, and found (using dependency walker) that his computer was missing msvcp100d.dll and msvcr100d.dll.
Running the Visual c++ distributable should fix these problems (I'm not sure which version you should get), but I just copied the dlls over from my System32 folder to his computer, and it works.

Yeah, I already had the redistributables, but was still missing stuff. Moving the DLLs fixes it. Cousin figured that out the same way, just haven't gotten around to doing it on my PC.

Sweet, hope it works out

I was having issues with dependencies, getting messages that indicated I was missing .DLLs but I eventually figured it out.

Apparently, my computer decided to block the .DLLs because they came from the internet. If you right click on the file and go to properties, there MAY be a button at the bottom of the general tab that says "unblock". This button only appears if the file is blocked. I've never seen this before so I took a screenshot to prove it, but alas, this "board attachment quota" has been reached.

I never heard about such a problem, but good to know.
You can use an image web service. The best is to choose one, which allows to embedd the full image into forum pages.
I like ImageBanana very much (German only? Or does it switch the languate automatically?).

An english image uploader is e.g. ImageShack. For easy embedding upload the image and copy the pre-generated forum code snippet.

I've never seen that before either but I found a screenshot via google images fairly easy.

i looked newbie example project and i liked it very much so i decided to use miyagi as gui of my project. i am using mogre 1.7.4 in my project which has terrain paging support. i tried to add to my project the miyagi.dll(1.2.1) but i have got that error when i tried to compile:



I think this related to Mogre version difference. Do I have to use Mogre 1.7.1? Is there any solution for this error or any miyagi release for Mogre 1.7.4?

Isn't there any compatible version for 1.7.4 ? I'm still looking for any GUI for 1.7.4 Mogre, especially miyagi. Still i did'nt find any GUI solution/alternative which has support 1.7.4 dll.

Sorry RcALTIN, looks like there isnt. Maybe you could use the previous version for now, and try to keep your code abstract enough so a port to 1.7.4 will be easier when it is released?
I haven't done any mogre/miyagi programming for a few months so im not up to date with the recent developments.
good luck

I haven't looked at the Miyagi source code, but wouldn't it be relatively easy or at least possible to recompile it against the latest version of Mogre?

Thank you for your interest. I wanted to use new terrain component but I guess I will have to change.

I haven't looked at the Miyagi source code, but wouldn't it be relatively easy or at least possible to recompile it against the latest version of Mogre?

I don't know c++ as well. So I haven't looked for anything about compiling.

Okay, I just had a look at the Miyagi source code and there's no need to know any C++. But you will probably need Visual Studio Pro. When I tried compiling it with VS Express I got a bunch of errors.

I did however manage to compile the Miyagi.dll and Miyagi.Backend.Mogre.dll files against the Mogre 1.7.4 dll pretty easily. There are a few other settings I had to change in the project as well, like making sure they are all set to x86 and removing the DLL signing and fixing up some project references.

If you want you have a go yourself, grab a copy of TortiseHg and clone the repository yourself. Open the solution file and see if you can compile it. Once it compiles correctly, all you need to do is change the reference to the Mogre.dll to the one your currently using and bob's your mother's brother.

Honestly, I'm not really interested in Miyagi myself at this stage, but I am happy to help out so if you put in the effort I'm here to answer your questions.

Here, try this:

Miyagi .NET4 built against Mogre 1.7.4 with Terrain and Paging

Modified source code

I have no idea if it works, but it did compile.

Thanx alot, i will try it... Also I modified too few minutes ago, but it didnt work.

EDIT: same result, it didnt work.. and i got same error, "accessviolation bla bla"

This could be caused by a number of things but most likely you've got incompatible versions of native DLL's. Make sure you are using the one's provided in the zip because they are they ones that it was build against.

Check your Ogre.log file and see if there is any useful information.

Lastly, wrap the offending code in a try catch block that looks like this


try
{
// some mogre code here
}
catch(SEHException sehEx)
{
// some Ogre exception happened
if (OgreException.IsThrown)
throw new Exception(OgreException.LastException.FullDescription, ex);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
// normal .NET exception
}

I tried a lot, dll's from your zip, from compiling of my modified version, from new compiling of your modified version... I got same result everytime, but last time i got same error different place, in MogreRenderManager.cs in CreateTransparentTexture function.(probably related with MOIS, i compiled it again at last time) And there is no information about miyagi in the log file.

but last time i got same error different place, in MogreRenderManager.cs in CreateTransparentTexture function. (probably related with MOIS, i compiled it again at last time)
Well that's progress at least.

And there is no information about miyagi in the log file.
I wasn't expecting information about Miyagi in the log file, but sometimes it gives you a hint to what went wrong rather than just "AccessViolation".

I'm fresh out of ideas at the moment. I'll let you know if I think of anything else. In the mean time, hopefully someone else will come along and try.

Hi, I have similar problem...Yesterday I start with Miyagi and my first steps was read Miyagi NewBie. It looks fine so i decided to give it to my project. I set resources, dlls, etc. and this problem comes


So I commented new code and found first thing which did it. You wont be surprised
// Button - Note that you cannot click on this, as it is behind the TableLayoutPanel.
// Just move it to the side or resize the table to fix this
Button button = new Button();
button.Size = new Size(200, 100);
button.Location = new Point(50, 500);
button.Skin = skinDict["Button"];
gui.Controls.Add(button);

Any ideas how to fix it?

I read about this exception something like "You must unload all Managers" but

gui.DisposeAllControls();
//gui.Dispose();
system.PluginManager.UnloadAllPlugins();
system.PluginManager.Dispose();
//system.Dispose();
button.Dispose();
skinDict.Clear();
nothing works

Please post your 'ogre.log'.

I read about this exception something like "You must unload all Managers" but
miyagiSystem.Dispose is enough.

Ok, now I am using
system.Dispose();

But exception is still here (System.AccessViolationException...

I get the same problem with VS express 12.

the mogre tutorials work fine with the tutorial framework

Edit: err nevermind. I never saw that there was more than one page to this thread..
trying some more things. (having the dependancys problem)

Edit 2:
tried dependancy walker, found dlls all over the place it was missing, but then dependacy walker said there were problems between CPU types, tried to chase down the right x86 dlls for a bit, then tried copying all the dlls from the tutorial architecture to the miyagui newbie. VS then complained about
" Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.
The program '[7432] Miyagi Newbie.vshost.exe: Managed (v4.0.30319)' has exited with code 0 (0x0)."

Its been a while since Ive dealt with this, but basically its because you're compiling your code in a .NET 4.0 environment when the dlls were compiled in a .NET 2.0 environment. It will probably work if you switch your whole project to a 2.0 environment (in the project properties), but the better way I think is to use an app.config file. I cannot remember how to generate one properly, but some googling will get you an answer.
Good luck

that makes sense,
tried switching the whole project to .net 2 but it suddenly wouldn't build and couldn't find namespaces and such all over the place.
I'll have a look at the app config file way when I'm in the mood to try again.
