Problem with QuickGUI::Root()

Hi,
I'm trying to do the first tutorial for setting up Quickgui.
I compile correct the code, but when i execute the program says:
Exception:No fonts have ben found!at least one font must exist for QuickGui...
i think he don't find the fonts but what is the problem?.
Someone can help me please??
Thanks.

Try copying the QuickGUI/bin/resources folder to your project's directory, unzip qgui.textures.zip, and add resources and resources/qgui.textures to your resources.cfg file. Hope that helps!

Its saying that Ogre could not find any fonts. You can include fonts via a .fontdef file.

Hi

I have been having the exact same problem and have been trying to fix it for the past 2-3 hours...i cant find this resources folder as it doesnt exist and neither does the qgui.textures.zip file. I have already created some .fontdef files and put them inside the font folder in the media folder (where all my resources are) i have also tried spam pasting the font ffiles in possible fodlers but i still get the "cant find fonts" exception error.

Please help with this. maby with some instructuons, filelayout examples, code, somthing! Need some gui results asap ><;;

Also, i am using QuickGUI 10.1 (the latest one in the forums).

Thanks

The instructions are slightly out of date. The download contains a quickgui.core.zip file, which contains the base fonts/textures needed to use QuickGUI with its default resources. I just checked the 10.1 download and it works, the zip is located in the bin folder. (If using the zip, make sure its decalred properly and registered with Ogre as a resource zip) Hope that helps!

I have added the line "Zip=QuickGUI/bin/qgui.core.zip" to the resources.cfg file but i still get the same "no fonts" error. I have also used the following code in my Application.h file (once was exampleapplication.h)

QuickGUI::registerScriptReader();
new QuickGUI::Root();

QuickGUI::SkinTypeManager::getSingleton().loadTypes();
QuickGUI::GUIManagerDesc d;

d.sceneManager = mSceneMgr;
d.viewport = mCamera->getViewport();

d.queueID = Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY;

QuickGUI::GUIManager* mGUIManager = QuickGUI::Root::getSingletonPtr()->createGUIManager(d);

QuickGUI::SheetDesc* sd = QuickGUI::DescManager::getSingleton().getDefaultSheetDesc();
sd->resetToDefault();
sd->widget_dimensions.size = QuickGUI::Size(800,600);
QuickGUI::Sheet* mySheet = QuickGUI::SheetManager::getSingleton().createSheet(sd);

mGUIManager->setActiveSheet(mySheet);

I have also added the apropriate delete lines to the cleanup function and the header file for quickgui.

Anything else I may have missed?

Sorry for late reply, work trainning session past few days has kept me busy.

Before you create QuickGUI Root, are you making sure to initialize all the Ogre resources?

Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::initialiseResourceGroups()

1. Register QuickGUI ScriptReader

2. Initialize all resource groups (resources.cfg file for example)

3. Create QuickGUI Root, which checks a default font exists.

etc.

Hi Master,

I added the qgui.core.zip file to the resources folder and i can see in ogre.log that this package is loaded as well. But i'm still getting the "Font missing" error. I'm loading all the resources using
Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::getSingleton().addResourceLocation
function instead of
Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::initialiseResourceGroups. I'm following the way which you mentioned in your post. I'm creating QuickGUI root after adding the resources only. please check the log below

please help me to solve this . thanks in advance.

Hi,

I solved this by using
initialiseResourceGroup("quickGui");
method. I add "quickGui" group to resources.cfg file and place the "qgui.core.zip" file in that group. That solved the problem.

Thanks

Awesome, glad its solved.
