ok, we can add an option to disable events in a particular MGuiWindow.

something like gwin->ignoreEvents(true);

ok, so the mouse clic is ok,

parent->isHighLight() and isMouseInside() are both dependent on the mouse motion, the coordinate of the mouse and the window size.

Or the mouse move event is not handle properly, or the mouse position is not correct (needs to be in pixel) or the window size is not defined. Did you specified the pos and size of MWindow as (0,0) for the pos and the screen size in pixel for the size ?

And yes, the order is important, if you clic on the top window, even transparent, only this one will take the event.

Just to be sure, here an example :

If you managed to feed your MWindow with some events,
you can then handle the button events like this :

1 ) create a static function like this :

void myButtonCallback(MGuiButton * button, MGUI_EVENT_TYPE event)
{
    switch(event)
    {
        case MGUI_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_DOWN:
            printf("button pressed");
        break;
    }
}

2 ) give the callback function pointer to the button :

button->setEventCallback(myButtonCallback);

mh, I'm not sure, it's possible.

Did you use the new MCore.lib/dll and MEngine.lib/dll to rebuild the game.dll ?

you are trying to compile a tagged old version of maratis "\tags\Maratis-3.01",

open a command line and go to trunk/dev/
type : "python scons.py"

after the build, the final product can be found in the "prod/" directory

if you don't want to type it each time in a command line,
create a bat in trunk/dev with :

  python scons.py
  pause

ok, I'm modifying something in the renderer,
you'll just have to recompile maratis editor with the svn sources.

Did you create the MGuiWindow and set the size ?

MWindow * rootWindow = new MWindow();

MGuiWindow * guiwin = rootWindow->addNewWindow();
guiwin->setScale(MVector2(800, 600));
guiwin->setColor(MVector3(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f));

be sure also that the path to your font is correct
use a full path with c:/
or make a local path global using :

MEngine * engine = MEngine::getInstance();
MSystemContext * system = engine->getSystemContext();

char globalFilename[256];
getGlobalFilename(globalFilename, system->getWorkingDirectory(), "fonts/myFont.ttf"); // font is in project/fonts directory

If you want, you can try to use the new experimental MGui in c++ in your game plugin,
use the sources directly, the new version is stand-alone.

You will find everything in branches/Experimental/

Here are the headers :
https://code.google.com/p/maratis/sourc … 2FIncludes

You will also need tinyutf8 (one header lib) :
https://code.google.com/p/maratis/sourc … 2Ftinyutf8

To use it, create a MWindow :
- to send input events, use onKeyDown, onKeyUp etc
- use addNewWindow() to create MGuiWindow sub-windows
- call draw() in your custom game class to draw the GUI

To add an editable text with MGuiWindow :

MGuiEditText * text = guiwin->addNewEditText();
text->setPosition(MVector2(100, 100));
text->setFont(fontRef);
text->setTextSize(16);
text->setText("Hello world !");
text->setTextColor(MVector4(1, 1, 1, 1));

ps : fontRef is a font, you can get it from your current level :
MFontRef * fontRef = level->loadFont("/Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf");

I started rewriting MGui to be able to use it as dynamic library,
see this post : http://forum.maratis3d.com/viewtopic.php?id=723

but it's still experimental and seems to compile good on osx only (but it uses premake)
I didn't have time to check the linux and win compilation errors yet.

But, except if you need an interface with text editing and a classic GUI, as it's 2d only and doesn't use meshs,
I don't believe MGui is the best for game, it's use it to handle software GUI (like Maratis editor).

I still think that the good step would be to create a set of Behaviors to attach to entities,
a 'Button' behavior, a "Slide" behavior etc. But it sure depend of the final use.

Thank you

I worked with 3dsmax a lot before, personally and professionally, and I can tell you today that Blender is more powerful and flexible, Maya is not bad thought.

Maratis can now load Collada files, so you can totally import meshs from 3dsmax or Maya, Collada supports animations, uvs and materials.

Use File > Import 3d model,
and select the collada file to import to your Maratis project.
Maratis will convert the collada and save them as native .mesh files in your_project/meshs/

You may have to tweak some little things by opening the converted files with a text editor (it's xml)
for example to create multi-animations or modify the materials.
