Re: push - a resolution-handling library

Post by ac3raven »

I am not understanding how to give a pre-existing shader to Push. One that I create with love.graphics.newCanvas() and that does not take up the entire screen.

Or how might I create a canvas with Push that has width and height parameters?

Like so:

Code: Select all

local canvas = lg.newCanvas(350,60)

function stencilFunction()
  rainbow_shader:send("scaler",scaler)
  rainbow_shader:send("rot",r)
  push:setShader(rainbowmask_shader)  --I can't use the push:(canvasName,shader) syntax here with my normal canvas
  lg.print(scoretext,lg.getWidth()/2-28,30)
  push:setShader()
end

local canvasList = {name = "test",shader=rainbow_shader}  --how do I add my normal canvas to this so I can use push:setupCanvas on it??
push:setupCanvas(canvasList)

gameplay:update(dt)
  push:setCanvas(test) --this should be applying the 'rainbow_shader' to the below rect
  lg.rectangle("fill",0,0,lg.getWidth(),lg.getHeight())
  push:setCanvas()
end

gameplay:draw()
  lg.stencil(stencilFunction,"replace",1)
  lg.setStencilTest("greater",0)
  scoretext = tostring(math.floor(currentscore))
  lg.setColor(1,1,1,1)
  if newHighScore then
    lg.draw(canvas,score.x,score.y2) -- I need my canvas to be drawn at this position, after it passes through the stencil function
  end
end

Hmm, I'm not sure how you can display a not-fullscreen with push, it's been a while and I honestly don't remember how it works exactly. I need to go through the code again so I can help you :-) I'll be sure to reply as soon as I have some time!

It seems like it's been fixed, although I haven't tried it myself yet: https://github.com/Ulydev/push/issues/25

Okay - love.mouse.getPosition works well with push (using toGame) but love.mouse.setPosition doesn't seem to work (i tried both toGame and toReal).
My Github- your contribution is highly appreciated

Hi, push.lua seems not to work at all. I am using Love version 11.3. I don't even have any idea what is wrong, ive tried commenting out everything and it still doesn't work. Not one bit. I followed the usage tutorial but I am trying to implement a toogle so you can swith between fullscreen and window mode by pressing lalt or ralt and return simultaneously.

Please help I don't know where else to turn. I don't know if I can post a .love since I am using PAID assets and they could get ripped.

You're not calling push:setupScreen for normal (non-full-screen use), but you're using push regardless of whether you're in window or full-screen mode. The error likely comes from not calling setupScreen in that code path.

There are two possible ways to fix it. 1) Have a variable 'fullScreen' that is true when you enter full-screen mode, and only call push:start() and push:finish() if you're in fullscreen; and 2) Initialize Push with the same dimensions as the window. The first method has the advantage that you don't have the additional overhead of Push when it's not needed; the second method has the advantage of its simplicity, and the possibility of using a different screen resolution in future.

By the way, your method to set full-screen can't work:

Code: Select all

  if ((key == "lalt") or (key == "ralt")) and key == "return" then
because 'key' can't have two values at the same time. You can use this instead:

Code: Select all

  if (love.keyboard.isDown("lalt") or love.keyboard.isDown("ralt")) and key == "return" then

Thanks, I was trying to call the push setup inside a keypress and forgot it needs to be initialized beforehand like you explained. I think I prefer the second option. However this doesn't really work well with my camera setup, that's my fault though. I need to read up on some more documentation about love.graphics.translate(). Anyway thanks again and nice and simple lib keep it up.

You're not supposed to use love.graphics.translate/scale with a camera; the camera should handle that for you. But this starts to go off topic; feel free to open a new thread in the Support and Development forum. I'm not comfortable with hijacking Ulydev's thread for support of unrelated topics.
