Surfaces not loading when using vector?

You'll want to verify the path information for your image file. Based on what you have listed, the image is located in the root directory.

[Volte6]

Yeah, everythign runs from the root.

Plus, I load at least 3 other surfaces, with no problem.

It has somethign to do with the way i'm doing it... i'm sure of it. But I can't possibly guess WHAT i'm doing wrong.

I may end up instantiating the object with "new" and just passing a pointer into the vector container. I have a feeling that will work, for some reason. I hate to do it. And i'm gonna have to worry about deleting them too. Le argh.

Anybody ever try to do something like this, pushing an object with a surface into a vector? Problems? No problems?

Thanks

I've not used vector, but have used arrays of surfaces with no problem. Using a vector shouldn't be an issue. Without seeing the actual code, I can only guess at what the problem may be. I would first check those return codes...

[Volte6]

That's pretty much the code, actually...

I mean, you can use that same code to do whatever is needed...

I'll check the return codes when I can though. thanks.

When you add you Object to the vector you are making a copy and since CGapiSurface doesn't have a copy constructor that copies the image data the Object in the vector will not contain the image data.

Still not working.

I dunno what format to specify that an HRESULT is, so I'm using %0u for _stprintf to display the value.

That gives me: 3362128032

How do I find out what that sort of thing means?

[fzammetti]

Compare the result to the constants in GD. For instance, you can generally do:

HRESULT hr;
hr = graphic.CreateSurface(GDSURFACE_SYSTEMMEMORY, pImageFile);
if (hr != GD_OK) {
// Do some sort of error handling
}

You could do something as simple as:

if (hr == GDERR_BITMAPNOTFOUND) { // Pop error message }
if (hr == GDERR_INCOMPATIBLEPRIMARY { // Pop error message }
if (hr == GDERR_INVALIDBITMAP { // Pop error message }
if (hr == GDERR_INVALIDPARAMS { // Pop error message }
if (hr == GDERR_INVALIDSURFACETYPE { // Pop error message }
if (hr == GDERR_LOCKEDSURFACES { // Pop error message }
if (hr == GDERR_OUTOFMEMORY { // Pop error message }
if (hr == GDERR_SURFACELOST { // Pop error message }

Those are all the errors defined for this function to return.

Personally, I have a simple wrapper function that I call in place of CreateSurface that handles this so I don't have a bunch of repeated code. I suspect everyone does a very similar thing too.

Okay, it's this:

GDERR_INCOMPATIBLEPRIMARY

What does it mean, and how do I fix it?

[Volte6]

And finally, where can I find a list describing these error messages? Thanks!
