Extension issue - FairyGUI BMFont don't load

[theSlyest]

• axmol version: release [40e7b2cee7]
• devices test on: iOS Simulator, Samsung J5 Pro
• developing environments
  • NDK version: r23c
  • Xcode version: 14.1
  • cmake version:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a FairyGUI project
2. Import a bitmap font in the FairyGUI project
3. Use the font on a text field in a FairyGUI component
4. Load the component in a scene

The the text field does not display the selected font, and there is an error message in the console log:

No file found at ui://[_fairyguiurl]. Possible missing file.

Source snippet?

[theSlyest]

bool HelloWorld::init()
{
    if (!Scene::init()) 
    {
        return false;
    }

    _groot = GRoot::create(this);
    _groot->retain();

    FileUtils::getInstance()->addSearchPath("fui");
    UIPackage::addPackage("Futura_White_Black_128");
    UIPackage::addPackage("HexGrid");
    GObject *grid = UIPackage::createObject("HexGrid", "HexGrid");
    grid->setPosition(_groot->getWidth() / 2.f, _groot->getHeight() / 2.f);
    _groot->addChild(grid);

    return true;
}

Futura_White_Black_128 is a bitmap font. There is a text field using this font in the HexGrid component. The component is displayed, but the text field appears with a wrong font and I get the following message:

axmol: fullPathForFilename: No file found at ui://6jswxvktmvpka. Possible missing file.

[aismann]

Where is this font (path correct, extension)? try this:

UIPackage::addPackage("fui/Futura_White_Black_128");   / / extension is missed?
UIPackage::addPackage("fui/HexGrid");

[theSlyest]

You don't need the extension when loading FairyGUI files. And this problem is also present in the FairyGUI test.

Wich FairyGUI test?

axmol/tests/fairyguitest-tests

Ok I have seen it: Cocos creator example: (https://www.fairygui.com/cocos-demo/)

Axmol example (FairyGUI extension):

I think the reason is: Not all is configuered on the "Basics.fui" Comparing both shows more differents (mostly axmol FairyGUI extension has a better demo example. "Basics.fui" is designed with the FairyGUI editor)

I have no time to check it with the FairyGUI editor. If there a missing part better write an issue on the FairyGUI extension page?

[aismann]

@halx99: maybe a label like: 'extension issue' or 'demo issue' is also helpfully?

[aismann]

It seems to be a FairyGUI bug (see preview)

I checked it on the FairyGUI Editor: Here the preview on the editor (Bitmap Font is not correct)

[theSlyest]

I just ran it with Cocos2d-x 4.0 and it works perfectly fine. After a small investigation, I think the glitches are caused by some of the changes in FontAtlasCache or FileUtils. Specifically, in the implementation of the method: FontAtlas* FontAtlasCache::getFontAtlasFNT(...)

@theSlyest maybe the title is wrong?

@theSlyest Any chance you could try to re-add the code removed in this commit and see if it works correctly?

Ok, I'll try

[theSlyest]

It requires more changes to be reverted. I can not test it for now.

Rebuild with the "latest" changes BEFORE [6f4fe63]

Edit: test it with axmol-1.0.0b7 too BitmapFont issue is same

[aismann]

Test it on axmol-adxe-1.0-b3 also. (VS2022 64bit) got an exeption on runtuime (is not usefull for comparing)

I have no longer VS2019, I cannot build older versions of axmol.

[aismann]

adxe-1.0-a9 is the first one with the extension FairyGUI

[rh101]

adxe-1.0-a9 is the first one with the extension FairyGUI

I'll test out that version since I still have VS2019 installed.

[rh101]

No luck testing adxe-1.0-a9, since I can't download the external libraries from anywhere:

==> Prepare to download external libraries!
==> version file doesn't exist
==> Ready to download 'v56.zip' from 'https://github.com/c4games/engine-x-3rd/archive/v56.zip'
==> Error: Could not find the file from url: 'https://github.com/c4games/engine-x-3rd/archive/v56.zip'
==> Http request failed, error code: 404, reason: Not Found

That link doesn't exist any longer, and I don't have copies of the external library zip files. @halx99 Would you by any chance have all the external zip files, and if possible, upload them somewhere, like the https://github.com/axmolengine/archive repo?

[halx99]

I prefer to check this issue in current version

I prefer to check this issue in current version

Fair enough, then no point wasting time testing the older versions.
