iPad Woes
by Matthew M. White · in iTorque 2D · 10/06/2010 (10:46 pm) · 22 replies
Whyyyyy is this happening?
I have followed all the other threads
(setting project to iPad, updaing the .xib, setting XCode target to iPad)
Also it's orange because I changed the background colour from white to orange in interface builder.
It's my favourite colour.
Otherwise it would be white.

I'm starting to think it has something to do with the .xib because... all of the openfeint .xibs work fine. That is also integrated through Torque ... so I'm assuming its our xib somehow. I'll rebuild that entirely and see if it works.

Matt I wish I could help you, I did not have this issue putting a game on the ipad (no I had other issues). As far as I know I just selected the iPad settings in 1.4.

Technically, the problem you see is that the UIView that contains your background image is not located at the top-left corner of your window. Your window is another UIView whose background you set to orange.
The position of the UIView that contains you image is defined by its 'frame'. A frame is a CGRect structcontaining properties 'location' (with x and y sub-props) and 'size' (with width and height sub-props).
So, you can redefine the frame of your UIView with
Or define it in interfaceBuilder, in the 'meter' pane with the ruler on it (I'm not sure of the name because I never use IB).

iT2D does not use UIViews etc at all for any "ingame matter", it uses an EAGLView as any realtime media engine actually to which it renders geometry :)
#6
But EAGLView doesn't exist in Cocoa/UITouch.
It is a class defined by Apple in its openGL template projects. And it inherits from UIView.
So, all of the above information is valid, and I hope useful.

... this is the portion defined in mainwindow-ipad.xib as well as mainwindow.xib.
Other thoughts?
10/08/2010 (1:23 pm)
Seems like the portion with the meter pane in IB is indeed set to 0,0, top left, frame. ... this is the portion defined in mainwindow-ipad.xib as well as mainwindow.xib.
Other thoughts?

I'm very proficient with TS, but... my obj c / mac knowledge is ... lacking.

Wait, I think I'm having an epiphany. You're saying that changing mainwindow-ipad.xib around isn't going to change anything because the EAGLView component isn't in the right spot... wow, I have no idea how to change that. I'm very proficient with TS, but... my obj c / mac knowledge is ... lacking.

I've been rooting through the engine with 3 other people here... and none of us can figure this out.

Okay, can someone give me a hint as to what file I'm going to find the changes I need to make in?I've been rooting through the engine with 3 other people here... and none of us can figure this out.

Personally if you are digging into EAGLView for the answer then I think the problem is somewhere else.

I've seen this behaviour before with the iPhone and the shift is usually due to the status bar; cell signal, battery etcPersonally if you are digging into EAGLView for the answer then I think the problem is somewhere else.

In this image, the statusbar is still visible, though

have you measured the width of the orange piece? Is it 64 px by any chance?
#13
10/08/2010 (5:26 pm)
Exactly 64px

Please in the name of all that is holy tell me you have a solution
#15
iPad = 1024
iPhone 4 = 960
1024 - 960 = 64
Hopefully that will help narrow it down.
10/08/2010 (5:37 pm)
Okay, its looking like you have the iPhone 4 resolution set for the horizontal.iPad = 1024
iPhone 4 = 960
1024 - 960 = 64
Hopefully that will help narrow it down.
#16
10/08/2010 (5:39 pm)
Search your project for 960 ...

Talking with Matthew in IRC about this. I am unable to replicate this on my end, but I'm continuing to work with him to see if we can find a solution. Should we discover the issue, we will post in here in case someone else encounters the problem.

Once again, IRC has proven itself useful.

We just found a host of problems in IRC related to him using a version of the engine that did not support iPad. That could be a problem.Once again, IRC has proven itself useful.
