Nifty GUI cannot call SImpleApplication

Troubleshooting gui
1

Hi guys, I have used Nifty GUI as the main menu and then from the main menu i need to start another SimpleApplication.

Does anyone know how to call it properly?

I invoked the Simple Application using this code but it stops at “INFO: Selected display mode: 1362 x 768 x 0 @0Hz” :



@NiftyEventSubscriber(id=“NagivateToPage3”)

public void onButtonClick(final String id, final ButtonClickedEvent event) {

navigateButton.disable();

System.out.println(“Slider”);

Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {

public void run() {

TestWalkingChar twc = new TestWalkingChar();

twc.setShowSettings(false);

twc.start();

}

});

navigateButton.disable();

}





The TestWalkingChar class is to big to be posted and it is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32670759/TestWalkingChar.java



Could someone please help me? I have been trying to fix this for the longest time

I’m confused as to why you would need to start a new SimpleApplication? A little more info on this would be helpful!

So your thread actually starts? I don’t see the call to start in your code.

Also, don’t you need another container?

Hi, basically. There is a button on the main menu that says “Run game” then it would load the screen and the game would play

What do you mean by another container?

I mean, new AppContainer(new TestWalkingChar);

But that will launch you a new window as a separate app.

If you plan is to have a mainmenu, and start the game when you click on that button, i would suggest you to read the documentation where game states should be explained in details.

After reading all the documentaton on gamestates … I realised i am extending SimpleApplication already and i cannot change it as i need to use the statemanager and other stuff. So how to is it possible to create a new gamestate then run the SimpleApplication within the gamestate (rather than extending AbstractGame)

Why would you like to have a new SimpleApplication?



If you want a main menu, make your main menu a gamestate. Then, make your game a gamestate. When someone cklicks “Start Game”, you deactivate the main menu gamestate and activate the “ingame” gamestate. There is no need to create a whole new Application.



I don’t really understand your problem? Why can’t you use the statemanager of your already existing application?
