Menus do not display anything

[programmingkidx]

All the in-game menus are missing their content. Save, Load, Options are empty.
I used the Windows 64-bit version of version 2.1.0.
My operating system:

• Windows 7 - 64 bit.

@xet7 -- can you try to reproduce? -quintus

Try this:

1. Exit TSC

2. Open File Explorer

3. Click Organize / Folder and Search Settings / Show

4. Select/Unselect following:

• Hide protected system files
• Hide known filetypes
• Show hidden files, folders and drives

5. If you have made your own levels, move this folder to somewhere safe, otherwise just delete it, because it has cached files from older TSC versions:
   C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\tsc

6. After those changes, change those options at 4) above back

7. Start TSC

Here is TSC running on Win7 64bit:

Main menu

Options

Load

Save

This does not happen for me in Windows, even after reinstalling TSC.

[Quintus]

Since nobody can reproduce this, we need more input from the OP. @programmingkidx can you post a screenshot? How did you install TSC? Is there something special about your system?

[programmingkidx]

Options completely empty:

Save completely empty:

[programmingkidx]

I wouldn't say there is anything special about my system. It is just Windows 7 64-bit on a 2011 iMac.

Hmm. How did you install TSC?

[xet7]

@programmingkidx

Is this dual boot of Windows, so you boot Windows directly on hardware? Have you installed newest display drivers like NVidia or ATI ? If those are installed, it could be that your Windows install has something broken.

If this is on some virtualization software on top of macOS, then it's bug in that virtualization software. TSC does not run well in virtualization.

[programmingkidx]

This is a dual boot system. I am using the Bootcamp drivers in Windows. They are not new.

@programmingkidx

What display card model you have?

Is there newer drivers available?

[xet7]

@programmingkidx

You could try:

1. Installing ccleaner free version and doing cleanup with default options
2. Use never10 to disable upgrade to Win10, if you do not want to upgrade
3. Installing all Windows updates
4. Running ccleaner again
5. Rebooting
6. Trying to run TSC again

I have to say that I find these rather unhelpful suggestions. You're basically shooting into the blue, xet7, and I am pretty confident that nothing of this has anything to do with the issue reported by the OP. To the OP: I am clueless. What I can diagnose is that it's exactly all the CEGUI menus that are missing. Do you have a CEGUI logfile somewhere under C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\tsc ? If so, please post it. Did you have another version of TSC installed earlier, maybe a beta or version or something built from Git? If so, are you sure you completely removed it? If you just intalled a newer installer over an existing TSC installation, I could imagine that such an issue could result. Or maybe you have another CEGUI installation around which TSC tries to use and which is incompatible (a.k.a. "dll hell")? -quintus -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu

@Quintus

Yes, those could be unhelpful, because I don't have much ideas left. It could be bug in display drivers.

I would think if @programmingkidx would install for example Linux Mint to that laptop, TSC could maybe work. But that's most likely too much work for just one game, and it's possible there is not enough disk space to add 3rd OS.

[xet7]

I don't even know are there good graphics Linux drivers for Mac laptops.

[refi64]

Hmm does TSC currently log anything to the command prompt on Windows? If so, there might be useful info in there. Otherwise, I have no idea what would cause this either.

TSC downloads are release builds, the don't show debug info. I will create debug build for Windows at this weekend.

[xet7]

I added Windows debug versions to https://secretchronicles.org Download page. They should show debug info, if I typed correctly that build command option (Debug instead of Release).

[Quintus]

This needs to be run from a terminal probably to show that debug info. I'm not sure how that works on Windows, as I'm a pure Linuxer. -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu

[xet7]

When starting TSC, debug window opens, and shows debug text. Then with Print Screen key take screenshot to clipboard, paste it to Paint, and save to file, and add as attachment to this issue comment.

[programmingkidx]

I am using Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 (build 7601).

• AMD Radeon HD 6770M with driver version 9.2.0.0 (default Bootcamp driver).

[programmingkidx]

I installed your Windows debug build xet7. The menus are still empty. The cegui log file is attached.
cegui.log

[programmingkidx]

While playing the game I saw this error:

Registering callback for event 'die' for MRuby object 592755637 of class 'Furball'
Registering callback for event 'save_load' for MRuby object 592770613 of class 'LevelClass'
CEGUI::UnknownObjectException in function 'CEGUI::Image& CEGUII::ImageManager::get(const CEGUI::String&) const' (C:/repo/mingw-w64-cegui/src/cdgui-0.8.7/cegui/src/ImageManager.cpp:261) : Image not defined: C:+Users+john+AppData+Roaming\tsc\cache\images\1024x768\pixmaps\game+items+mushroom_red.png

Also saw this error:
AL lib: (EE) WaitForSingleObjectEx error: 0x102

[Quintus]

I can't make anything of all this. The CEGUI log looks fine, and the error messages you report are unrelated to the menu display. The mruby callback messages are not even errors, it's a diagnostic from the level script engine. The CEGUI error relates to the HUD, but not to the menu, and the AL error is something with audio. I fear we can't help you. Nobody can reproduce this obscure problem, which makes it impossible for us to track down. All I can say is to invite you fiddling with the code yourself. That being said, this is one reason more to not use CEGUI for future projects. But that's something unrelated. -quintus

Avoid CEGUI sounds like a good idea.

[programmingkidx]

Which version of CEGUI does the Windows version of TSC use?
