D3D glScissor bug in Release version of opengl2d3d

#1 What are you using glScissor for? There might be another way to accomplish what you're trying to do.

#2 In the hidden object game i use glScissor in the window. Window has some animated object with rotation. Window appear with scaling. Game location and window has the same scenegraph. Above that window i have some inventory items and menu. Inventory items and window objects must be clipped.

#3 Inventory and menu GUI objects support transparency - so if they're over something you can see through them....

If you're using sprite objects for these elements, well, oddly enough they also support transparency....

Maybe I'm missing something - can you post a screenshot or something to illustrate what you're talking about. It really sounds like you're trying to do something that you don't actually have to do.

#4 I may be misunderstanding, but there is this code (www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/81610) that can return you the color value at a pixel. (It may have limitations... check the whole thread.) You can then see if the pixel was transparent (or mostly transparent) to see if you should try to process the next object.

I remember that there once was a post or resource for ignoring objects if they were clicked on a transparent region (much like using a collision polygon), but I wasn't able to find it.

#5 Ah hah - yes, there was a resource on it once upon a time for filtering mouse events using the GUI object's image transparency.

#6 Some screenshots:
Without clipping


With clipping

#7 This can be accomplished much more simply (I think).

Put your border in the background as a GuiBitmapCtrl. Then place your t2dSceneWindow within the GuiBitmapCtrl. Something like:

new GuiControl(mainScreenGui) {
  new GuiBitmapCtrl(Frame) {
    position = "0 0";
    extent = "800 600";
    bitmap = "YourFrame.jpg";
    ...
  };
  new t2dSceneWindow(sceneWindow2D) {
    position = "25 25";
    extent = "750 550";
    ...
  };
}

When you put your scene into sceneWindow2D, it'll look clipped by the frame.
