Hi,

after rebuilding my game with the new daily builds 1.3.7, it does not work properly any more.

There are some bugs:

 

It seems, that the Image::sourceSize property does not work any more, so that images with their height or width calculated in relation and with bindings to the sourceSize are not displayed correctly.
On Windows (7 – 64 bit) there are also problems with the sound now. So after starting the game, some of the sounds loaded by the first scene are been played immediately after gamestart, without calling their play()-method. In my case the welcome sound gets played as always, but followed by the bye-sound, that should only be played after pressing the exit button and followed by another welcome(?).

Greetings

Hi Heini,

the sourceSize issue has something to do with the optimization we performed, that the image is not held twice in memory any more, which speeds up loading times and requires less memory. In which way do you use the sourceSize property?

Could you also send us a sample code how you start your game that shows the faulty sound behavior please?

Cheers, Chris

Hi,

1) i use the sourceSize property to determine the height or widht of an image, in relation to its real dimensions. A typical usecase is this:

height: 60
width: (sourceSize.width * height) / sourceSize.height

I like to work this way, because it is much more exactly then setting the scale-property and its not necessary to have in mind the real dimensions of the image.

2)Here is some of the relevant code of the first loaded scene, nothing special:

 

Scene{
    id: menu
        Image{
            id: background
            source: "Mainmenu/mainback-hd.png"
            width: gameWindowAnchorItem.width
            height: gameWindowAnchorItem.height
            x: gameWindowAnchorItem.x
            y: gameWindowAnchorItem.y

        }

        Image{
            id: enableSound
            source: window.settings.soundEnabled ? "Mainmenu/ton_an.png" : "Mainmenu/ton_aus.png"
            width: 50
            height: 50
            anchors.left: gameWindowAnchorItem.left
            anchors.bottom: gameWindowAnchorItem.bottom
            anchors.leftMargin: 10
            anchors.bottomMargin: 10

            MouseArea{
                anchors.fill: parent

                onClicked: {
                    window.soundEnabled = !window.soundEnabled;
                    window.settings.soundEnabled = window.soundEnabled;
                }
            }
        }


        Sound{
            id: soundexit1
            source: "Mainmenu/exit.mp3"
        }


        Sound{
            id: soundwelcome
            source :"Mainmenu/welcome.mp3"
        }


        Timer{
            id: soundTimer
            interval: 1000
            repeat: false
            running: false

            onTriggered: {
                if (window.isApplicationStarting) soundwelcome.play();
                showSchildTimer.start(); //Timer, that starts a numberanimation for the menuitems
            }
        }


        Component.onCompleted: {
            soundTimer.start()
        }
}

Thanks,

Heini

Hi Heini,

I see! Did you use you could also use the property fillMode from Image and set it to Image.PreserveAspectFit? That would be more efficient and also easier to read as you do not need any calculation at all! However, we’ll add the sourceSize property with the next daily build update, but in the meantime you could use my suggested approach.

Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris,

setting the fillrate property did the trick! Didn´t know that property.

Thanks,

Heini
