[SOLVED] Mouse cursor stopped working

I just updated to the svn head (trunk), and now the mouse cursor is no longer visible. My xml file looks like this:



<MyGUI type="Pointer">

    <Pointer layer="Pointer" texture="mwpointer.png" default="arrow">

        <Info name="arrow" point="7 0" size="32 32" offset="0 0 32 32"/>

        <Info name="hresize" point="16 14" size="32 32" offset="32 0 32 32"/>

        <Info name="vresize" point="17 16" size="32 32" offset="0 32 32 32"/>

        <Info name="dresize" point="17 15" size="32 32" offset="32 32 32 32"/>

        <Info name="dresize2" point="15 15" size="32 32" offset="64 32 32 32"/>

    </Pointer>

</MyGUI>

Browsing through the demo code in the new revision, I saw some XML files that used resource="something", with the corresponding "something" being in another file. But I don't really understand how this works (and couldn't get it to work myself.) I just want to use cursors from one single image, using offset like above, how do I do this? Do I have to use the resource attribute, and if so could someone help me ? Thanks.

I'll try to do it - and I think get a results.

in core_pointer.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<MyGUI type="Pointer">

  <Pointer layer="Pointer" texture="core_pointer.png" default="arrow">

    <Info name="arrow" point="1 1" size="32 32" resource="pic_CorePointerArrow"/>

    <Info name="beam" point="16 16" size="32 32" resource="pic_CorePointerArrow"/>

    <Info name="hand" point="16 16" size="32 32" resource="pic_CorePointerArrow"/>

  </Pointer>

</MyGUI>

There you can add or delete your Info tags.

in core_resource.xml
I've changed <Resource type="ResourceImageSet" name="pic_CorePointerArrow" id="{C7ECFCE4-6021-4628-9BFF-1F36D594D7CB}"> tags to

<Resource type="ResourceImageSet" name="pic_CorePointerArrow" id="{C7ECFCE4-6021-4628-9BFF-1F36D594D7CB}">

    <Group name="Pointer" texture="core_pointer.png" size="32 32">

      <Index name="Pointer">

        <Frame point="13 11"/>

      </Index>

    </Group>

  </Resource>

<Frame point="13 11"/> - is offset in texture - set your
I use original core_pointer.png

I hope it'll help.

Ok, thank you, I will try this.

Does the id="{...}" have any meaning, btw? And is there any reason why this was changed to become more complicated? (just asking because I'm curious.)

As I know, it was done for more functionality.
For example, you can store in one image file many icons or may be one icon in different sizes.

About id. I quote Altren (from here): We using it for creating identifiers for all images used in gui, because sometimes that can have no name or two pictures with same name or for pictures created in code.
