This compiles and links with VulkanSDK and activated Vulkan API on MacOSX. I've build it with XCode 10 and MacOSX 10.13.6

Requirements: VulkanSDK >= 1.1.92.1

OLD: MoltenVK 1.0.24 (because VK_FORMAT_B10G11R11_UFLOAT_PACK32 format support) I've updated vk_mem_alloc.h to latest version. It is a partial Vulkan 1.1 port as well.

Back with another issue,

Running DX build of the framework (latest version) code is here: https://hastebin.com/osukigepit.cpp

The font I'm loading is from the examples data GUI folder

Error I'm getting: Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'skin' was corrupted. https://i.imgur.com/03Osb25.png

Without loading a custom font I get this: https://i.imgur.com/7q2VAoM.png

No clue where to go from here with this. First time I've ever encountered it. When running in release the error is of course incomprehensible. https://i.imgur.com/4oQxg1M.png

Building in Release causes these errors: https://i.imgur.com/fZHjb5l.png I have to hit rebuild all to get rid of them.

Next to that I always have these errors: https://i.imgur.com/0WoLJEM.png

But they don't matter for the build, everything keeps running fine. might just be a setting in my visual studio though.

Hope this makes sense to you and it's on my side that I'm doing something wrong.

Sorry for reporting so many issues but I really like working with your framework and would like to keep going without ripping out my hairs ;)

This isn't a feature request so much as me just writing out an issue to track my thoughts on the matter. I'm going to be evaluating bs framework for whether EnTT can be used as an alternative scene framework. Luckily bsf is already composition-friendly from what I can tell.

@BearishSun I should just make a Source/Plugin/bsfEnTT plugin right when I fork and play around right?

This set of patches enables full cotire support. There are sill problems with building with cotire on mac, which are still to be fixed, but I am unable to fix them due to me not having a mac at all.

This also enabled -fdiagnotisics-color=always on ninja builds.

This resolves #139.

The first sample application at https://www.bsframework.io/docs/build.html seg faults in Application::startUp. This occurs on both master (58a47c8) and release-v1.0.0 (40e0d08). I'm using the exact CMake and source code from the example. The fault occurs with prebuilt binaries as well as with a manually built bsf. No CrashReports are created. I'm running macOS High Sierra, and installed ossp-uuid using HomeBrew.

$ cat Main.cpp
#include "BsApplication.h"

int main()
{
    using namespace bs;
    VideoMode videoMode(1280, 720);
    Application::startUp(videoMode, "Example", false);
    Application::instance().runMainLoop();
    Application::shutDown();

    return 0;
}

I've started another branch for imgui plugin while I wait for feedback on the ECS renderer. https://github.com/pgruenbacher/bsf/blob/imgui/Source/Plugins/bsfImgui/Src/imgui_impl_bsf.cpp

This issue is just to track these feature changes. It seems pretty straight forward enough in terms of mapping BsInput to the imgui io. We'll see if it the existing imgui vulkan and opengl implementations can be used directly.

I don't actually really expect this to be merged but is meant for comparison to highlight some issues and fixes.

1. The BUILD_TESTS works if I add -msse4.1 to my cmakelist.
2. UtitliyTest has an infinite recurisve ERR due to modules not being setup, so i added the minimal modules. Likewise MemStack::beginThread was necessary.
3. StaticVector doesn't seem to work, so I took them out and just did std::vector::reserve instead. I feel like Static allocations are a bit of an overoptimization compared to just doing basic reserve operations in general, it just adds fragility.

With these methods when using an external window handle, the window can be resized properly. Only tested on Linux as I couldn't get the master branch version running on my laptop: https://pastebin.com/eT9gZwv8

This is on Linux with OpenGL and Vulkan (there's a slightly different crash there, but I don't have a callstack on hand for it right now).

There might be an additional crash lurking somewhere, but I can't try to locate it (see the thread I linked) because this crash always happens.

Compiling with gcc (GCC) 8.3.1 I get this warning whenever bsfUtility/Utility/BsBitwise.h is included. Here's the warnings:

I've been using the Framework since last night and so far I really enjoy using it. But when it comes to lighting, I get a bit confused by the results.

Created a small demo to explain what I mean: https://hastebin.com/pedocepeca.cpp

In this I'm just using a simple Radial light, which already doesn't behave as expected. one of the triangles of the quad never gets lit, the shading is not what you would assume from a light at that position. (you'd assume the top of the cube to be lit, instead the bottom is lit? )

Here is a screencap of the application running: https://i.imgur.com/9Z4f4CG.png

And a screencap of the console which has some stuff I get confused about as well: https://i.imgur.com/yeuJ9j3.png

Is there just something I'm completely doing wrong?

I've tried directional lights as well, just can't get them to do what I want. Shadows not showing as well

Banshee/bsf in its current state is unlikely to be continued for the time being, but a much improved version has been in the works for a while and I hope I can share it with you guys in the next year or so!

If you need a game engine today, look somewhere else. If you're invested in this project then hang tight for a while longer. I'm sure the wait will be worth it.

Just leaving this hear for people to see.

If the project is not dead this issue can be remove (and perhaps some of the outstanding PRs can be looked at)

At that site, I used cmake to download and failed. I used other tools to download successfully. But when building, cmake always has to download. What should I do?

A few places in the same file has the same issue. Data is being copied from new buffer to old instead of from old to new. Whenever the buffers need to expand the old contents will be nuked.

I'm currently writing an importer for a custom mesh file format which stores the material information and the mesh data in the same file. My question would be, what is the best practice way of adding Material information to a mesh at import time, since (as far as I found out) the material needs to be loaded and assigned seperatly to a renderable?

BsMacOSContext in bsfGLRendererAPI uses deprecated macOS OpenGL/AppKit functions such as NSOpenGLContext setView and NSOpenGLCPSwapInterval. As result - run bsf applications is not possible on modern OS X versions. Is there any solutions for this?
