Seth, they call it Windows
because after trying to get something to work on it,
a person wants one to jump out of.....

hello SethDart,

I tried your latest version of the kmz plugin. It is not yet very practical but it works correctly.

But why is it that transparency is resolved in GE. There are two images displayed simultaneously by OpenCPN. The image from GE and the map displayed by OpenCPN. Would it be possible not to implement transparency in GE and implement a transparent OpenCPN?

This was, to make it work, I loaded and installed your new version of OpenCPN-260-1310 .... which takes the place of the old version.

And, it's not a good thing. Other plugins under development no longer work. Especially those that develop Konni (logbook-Konni and FindIt). Ideally, you develop, temporarily, to do your testing, as did Pjotr, a version of "260-1310-S" which would not take the place of the normal version.

Best regards, amicalement.

I've uploaded updated source with changes to work with latest OpenCPN beta. No more need for any core (or API) changes for the plugin to work.

Warning: transparency only works with OpenGL enabled.

I'll provide a .dll in a few hours after some sleep.

SethDart · 02-04-2012, 03:24

I just uploaded the latest version here http://je.onfray.fr/dl/kmloverlay_pi.dll
I works with stock beta, no more need for any core changes.

PS: This plugin also require this dll in opencpn root (C:\Program Files\OpenCPN\)

It's called "Whac-A-Mole"....

Damn, I REALLY want this to work.

Can you tell me what's in the even logs? See this for some directions:

Thanks

For the uneducated me, it looks like I need some debug-tools installed. or, you compile the plug-in without debugging enabled ?

Edit: Added screenshot for the installed C++ redist-packages

SethDart · 02-04-2012, 08:56

That means some of the libs I'm using in my plugin were built in debug mode. I'll try to recompile everything from scratch... or could it be libexpat?

LeaseOnLife · 02-04-2012, 09:03

I am learning to use "dependency walker", it tells me, libexpat is fine

For kmloverlay_pi.dll it says:

Code:

Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "c:\program files\opencpn\plugins\KMLOVERLAY_PI.DLL" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).

I did snoop into kmloverlay_pi.dll and find

Code:

      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT" version="9.0.21022.8" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>

googling this, tells me, it is looking for a file called "msvcr90d.dll", there could be several, depending on SideBySide installations. I did a quick search for msvcr90d.dll, there is none on my system (and shouldn't be, I think, I don't have the full VC, just the VCredist).

Dirk

SethDart · 02-04-2012, 09:54

How did you get that? (sorry, I'm a Windows newbie ;-) )

Code:

      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT" version="9.0.21022.8" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>

Can you show me a screenshot of dependency walker? Mine shows MSVCR100.DLL not MSVC90...

LeaseOnLife · 02-04-2012, 10:02

I opened kmloverlay_pi.dll in wordpad or notepad

(I don't have a good editor on this machine...)

search for "Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT"

it is in what seems to be called a "manifest"

Code:

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

The dependency walker does show msvcr100.dll, funny, but the depenency walker also shows the errormessage, in red, in the lower window.

Gilletarom · 02-04-2012, 11:28

Hello SethDart,

Bravo ! c'est bien, ça marche !

Bravo!, it works!

And it works with or without OpenGL

Now it remains to add a slider to change on the fly (without returning to the toolbox), the level of transparency.

Other :
Using the plug-in GE, should be able to draw a rectangle with the mouse on the OpenCPN window (or GE window), so as to have direct superposition. Is it asking too much ... Maybe ...

B.R.

Dirk, can you try this one:
http://je.onfray.fr/dl/kmloverlay-test_pi.dll
It requires one more dll in OpenCPN root (same as expat.dll)
http://je.onfray.fr/dl/zlib1.dll

Crossing fingers... ;-)
