...that takes PANEL* as a parameter:

Code:

---

void drag_win(PANEL* _pan_)
{
	while(mouse_left== 1)
	{
		_pan_.pos_x= mouse_cursor.x - 128;
		_pan_.pos_y= mouse_cursor.y - 8;
		wait(1);
	}
}

... calling it in the button function:

PANEL* quitter=
{
	pos_x= 384;
	pos_y= 256;
	bmap= "exit_prompt.pcx";
	red= 128;
	green= 128;
	blue= 128;
	alpha= 100;
	button(0,0,"dragger.pcx","dragger.pcx","dragger.pcx",drag_win,NULL,NULL);
	button(32,88,"yess_on.pcx","yess_off.pcx","yess_ovr.pcx",exit_,NULL,NULL);
	button(104,88,"no_on.pcx","no_off.pcx","no_ovr.pcx",quitter_switch,NULL,NULL);
	button(240,0,"x_on.pcx","x_off.pcx","x_ovr.pcx",quitter_switch,NULL,NULL);
	flags= LIGHT | TRANSLUCENT | OVERLAY;
}

---

When I click on the bar, though, it says "Crash in drag_win".

Can anyone figure out why?

I put the function below the PANEL* declaration, just so you know, and so that the function can take that as a parameter. According to the manual:

Quote:

---

Several buttons may share the same function. The number of the button is passed as the first parameter to the function (1 = first button), the panel pointer is passed as the second parameter.

---

I'm only using one button for dragging the window around, why isn't it passing the PANEL* "quitter" to the function?!

ARGH!! Another problem!!

Now the FPS drops to about 20 at runtime after removing the function!

I did a diag(); on all the functions that can possibly be running at the time, and none of them are constantly being called!!

void drag_win(PANEL* _pan_)

try this:
Code:

---

 void drag_win(var _var_,PANEL* _pan_)

I hope that will help you

i'm not sure, but i think your mistake is here

Code:

---

switch(button_number)
	{
		case 1:
			scroll_menu(gui_dropdown1);
		case 2:
			scroll_menu(gui_dropdown2);
		case 3:
			scroll_menu(gui_dropdown3);
		case 4:
			scroll_menu(gui_dropdown4);	
	}

---

after each case you have to add break; like this

Code:

---

case 1:
			scroll_menu(gui_dropdown1);
                        break;

---

And while not explicidly needed its common to add a default case to the bottom.

I just tried it (the breaks), but I still only get about 40 FPS. It's all panels, and pretty small bmaps, so I don't think rendering's the problem.

EDIT: tried removing default.c from the picture; no good.

I don't understand! It was working at a full 75 FPS before! Why the sudden FPS drop?!

It's not a system-wide thing, because everything else runs just fine.

for debugging try to replace the sophisticated scroll_menu(gui_dropdown1)function by somewhat really simple, that is indicated on your screen.
Like
int debug_value = 0;
...
switch(button_number)
{
case 1:
debug_value = 1; break;
case 2:
debug_value = 2; break;
...

And than look, if you still have frame rate problems.

But the framerate drop doesn't occur only when I'm scrolling the menus, it happens on initial startup.

And the menus are using for loops, so they're only running for as long as they're moving.

I think it may have something to do with my inkey function, because I don't think it's being called (but according to my acklog.txt it is)..

EDIT: Yes, it is my inkey();. it's preventing anything after it from being called until I exit out of it. What can I do about this problem?

Here's my void main():

Code:

---

void main()
{
	diag("\n!main() has been called!");
	video_mode= 8;
	video_screen= 1;
	wait(3);
	vec_set(screen_color,vector(255,255,255));
	mouse_map= cur;
	mouse_mode= 1;
	inkey(type_string);
	while(1)
	{
		mouse_pos.x= mouse_cursor.x;
		mouse_pos.y= mouse_cursor.y;
		wait(1);
	}
}

---

But the inkey blocks the mouse loop from running. But I can't put it after the mouse loop, because then it will never be called.

And I can't type anything.

Anyone?

Hi!

Just a little note
My frame rate drops when WED and SED are open at the same time.
And I run the game with WED.
