Cannot set adapter

[lazi]

My rebelsdl required script works on OS4, but do not start on windows.
The only message in a dialog window: "Cannot set adapter!"

What does it mean?

This is the display definition:

Code: Select all

@IF #HW_AMIGA
	@DISPLAY 1,{mode="windowed", width=1024, height=1280, scalemode=#SCALEMODE_AUTO, scalewidth="75%", scaleheight="75%", fillstyle=#FILLCOLOR, color=$672222}
@ELSE
	@DISPLAY 1,{mode="fullscreen", width=1024, height=1280, scalemode=#SCALEMODE_AUTO, FitScale=True, SmoothScale=True, fillstyle=#FILLCOLOR, color=$672222}
@ENDIF           

The actual display mode is 1024x1280 (rotated).

What is the full script? This code works fine for me using Hollywood 8.0 + RebelSDL 1.1 on Windows 7:

Code: Select all

@REQUIRE "rebelsdl"

@IF #HW_AMIGA
	@DISPLAY 1,{mode="windowed", width=1024, height=1280, scalemode=#SCALEMODE_AUTO, scalewidth="75%", scaleheight="75%", fillstyle=#FILLCOLOR, color=$672222}
@ELSE
	@DISPLAY 1,{mode="fullscreen", width=1024, height=1280, scalemode=#SCALEMODE_AUTO, FitScale=True, SmoothScale=True, fillstyle=#FILLCOLOR, color=$672222}
@ENDIF 

WaitLeftMouse
End

Ok, there is a lot of @requires missing and I found that RapaGUI and RebelSDL don't like each other.

Code: Select all

;szamlazz.hu helper gui
@APPVERSION "$VER:Szamlazo 1.23 (24-Jan-21)"
@OPTIONS {encoding=#ENCODING_UTF8}
/*
@REQUIRE "sqlite3"
@REQUIRE "polybios"
*/
@REQUIRE "rapagui"
/*
@REQUIRE "hurl"
@REQUIRE "xmlparser"
*/
@REQUIRE "rebelsdl"

@IF #HW_AMIGA
	@DISPLAY 1,{mode="windowed", width=1024, height=1280, scalemode=#SCALEMODE_AUTO, scalewidth="75%", scaleheight="75%", fillstyle=#FILLCOLOR, color=$672222}
@ELSE
	@DISPLAY 1,{mode="fullscreen", width=1024, height=1280, scalemode=#SCALEMODE_AUTO, FitScale=True, SmoothScale=True, fillstyle=#FILLCOLOR, color=$672222}
@ENDIF

;OpenDisplay(1)

The program using the standard Hollywood display and for additional settings, listings, etc. use rapagui windows.
I would like to test it with SDL because on slower wintel machines even simple DisplayTransitionFX() #PUSHRIGHT is very slow.
(The RebelSDL examples are working very nice on the same machine.)

That's normal behaviour. You cannot combine plugins which replace Hollywood's display adapter. Currently, these are RapaGUI, RebelSDL, and GL Galore. I'm afraid there's no way around this because all those plugins require their own custom main loop and it's not possible to use them side by side. At least not without going to great pains.

On AmigaOS this is different because all main loops boil down to waiting for a set of signals using exec. Thus, plugins like RebelSDL can be combined with RapaGUI or MUI Royale on AmigaOS but this is just because RapaGUI and MUI Royale don't have to replace Hollywood's inbuilt display adapter at all. They just run on top of it. Only Amiga makes it possible

You cannot combine plugins ... RapaGUI, RebelSDL, and GL Galore. (on windows)

That's good to know.

Only Amiga makes it possible

That is what we already known!

Is that means that a GLGalore aware MUIRoyale plugin still can happen sometime?
Embedding GLGalore display into a MUI window would be nice.

p.s: By the way fortunately Hollywood is so powerful that maybe I can create two programs which communicate by IPC. One for the rebelsdl display and one for the rapagui. That could solve the original problem!

Maybe, but don't get your hopes too high because this is something that probably not too many people need so it's a very low priority right now.
