Working space for an addon that displays the current region whenever you enter a new region - just like other, real games like Dark Souls, Legends of Zelda and many more do!

State of progress: Regions on PvE are rendered

Current issue: Fonts loading: #🧰┃nexus message

I feel like I'm missing something. Still trying to add custom fonts to ImGui without success...

void Renderer::loadFonts(ImGuiIO& io) {
    if (fontsLoaded) return;
    // Load fonts
    fonts = std::map<std::string, ImFont*>();

    std::string pathFolder = APIDefs->GetAddonDirectory(ADDON_NAME);
    fonts.emplace("fontCharr", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_charr.ttf", 48.0f));
    fonts.emplace("fontHuman", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_human.ttf", 48.0f));
    fonts.emplace("fontSylvari", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_sylvari.ttf", 48.0f));
    fonts.emplace("fontNorn", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_norn.ttf", 48.0f));
    fonts.emplace("fontAsura", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_asura.ttf", 48.0f));
    
    // If we do any of these here we basically destroy everything Nexus has set up. 
    // If we don't do this here, our own fonts are not initialized and render() crashes once I try to push the font because "IsLoaded = false".
    //io.Fonts->Build();
    //ImGui_ImplDX11_InvalidateDeviceObjects();
    //ImGui_ImplDX11_CreateDeviceObjects();

    fontsLoaded = true;
}

ImFont* Renderer::loadFont(ImGuiIO& io, std::string path, float size) {
    ImFont* newFont = io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF(path.c_str(), size);
    if (newFont == nullptr) {
        // TODO log error
        return nullptr;
    }
    return newFont;
}

I've tried calling this in AddonLoad, I've tried with PreRender... still always the same issue as described in that comment.
I'm kinda close to launching my own ImGui with blackjack, hookers and my fonts

#

Funny sideeffect if you comment in any of the three lines in loadFonts:

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

Probably relevant. This is basically how my render logic works:

void Render()
{
    PreRenderCallbacks(); // <- This is where your stuff is called.

    ImGui_ImplWin32_NewFrame();
    ImGui_ImplDX11_NewFrame();
    ImGui::NewFrame();

    RenderCallbacks(); // <- This is where your stuff is called.

    ImGui::EndFrame();
    ImGui::Render();
    Renderer::DeviceContext->OMSetRenderTargets(1, &Renderer::RenderTargetView, NULL);
    ImGui_ImplDX11_RenderDrawData(ImGui::GetDrawData());

    PostRenderCallbacks(); // <- This is where your stuff is called.
}

#

just so you know where newframe/endframe and what not happens

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

appreciated, helps understanding how my code relates to other peoples problematic code

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

and OptionsRender is just another subrender inside of RenderCallbacks(), but yea

#

(from: https://github.com/RaidcoreGG/api-cdi/tree/main/AddonHost/API#rendering--options)

#

the documentation isn't the best, so it's probably easier to just ask me LUL

#

but I will fix it soon

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

oh the documentation was helpful a lot here already. I tried moving the font loading around addonload and prerender. didn't change a lot but just knowing I could is big

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 2:47 PM

#

Slight progress - now it only breaks my addon and not the entirety of Nexus 😄

void Renderer::preRender(ImGuiIO& io) {
    if (!fontsLoaded) {
        // Load fonts into a custom atlas
        fonts = std::map<std::string, ImFont*>();

        //ImFontAtlas nexusAtlas = *io.Fonts;
        // initialize with nexusAtlas as base, hopefully
        newFontAtlas = new ImFontAtlas(); // nexusAtlas);

        std::string pathFolder = APIDefs->GetAddonDirectory(ADDON_NAME);
        fonts.emplace("fontCharr", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_charr.ttf", 48.0f));
        fonts.emplace("fontHuman", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_human.ttf", 48.0f));
        fonts.emplace("fontSylvari", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_sylvari.ttf", 48.0f));
        fonts.emplace("fontNorn", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_norn.ttf", 48.0f));
        fonts.emplace("fontAsura", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_asura.ttf", 48.0f));

        newFontAtlas->Build();
        fontsLoaded = true;
    }

    defaultFontAtlas = io.Fonts;
    io.Fonts = newFontAtlas;

    ImGui_ImplDX11_InvalidateDeviceObjects();
    ImGui_ImplDX11_CreateDeviceObjects();
}

void Renderer::postRender(ImGuiIO& io) {
    if (defaultFontAtlas != nullptr) {
        io.Fonts = defaultFontAtlas;

        ImGui_ImplDX11_InvalidateDeviceObjects();
        ImGui_ImplDX11_CreateDeviceObjects();
    }
}

I also tried adding all the fonts from the one you initialize since there's like 19 in already, but that way on build I get an error with the context

#

curiously nothing renders in my addon except this one here:

#

ImGui::PushFont((ImFont*)NexusLink->Font);
ImGui::Text("Map Details Frame");
ImGui::PopFont();````

#

so it looks like it's not only the Font atlas I need to rebuild but the entire context?

#

oh.. it looks like the frame does get created in the background. I can drag that text around from a big area that sort of resembles the original window if it would render fully

#

#

current render that should use the five different fonts here

void Renderer::render() {
    if (ImGui::Begin("MapdetailsFrame", (bool*)0, ImGuiWindowFlags_NoTitleBar | ImGuiWindowFlags_AlwaysAutoResize | ImGuiWindowFlags_NoCollapse | ImGuiWindowFlags_NoResize))
    {
        ImGui::PushFont((ImFont*)NexusLink->Font);
        ImGui::Text("Map Details Frame");
        ImGui::PopFont();
        //ImGui::Text(std::to_string(currentMapInfo->getId()).c_str());
        //ImGui::Text(currentMapInfo->getContinentName().c_str());
        //ImGui::Text(currentMapInfo->getName().c_str());
        // 2DShape?

        MapData* currentMap = currentMapService.getCurrentMap();
        if (currentMap != nullptr) {
            ImGui::PushFont(fonts["fontCharr"]);
            ImGui::Text(("Current Map: " + currentMap->name).c_str());
            ImGui::Text(("Current Sector: " + currentMap->currentSector.name).c_str());
            ImGui::PopFont();

            ImGui::PushFont(fonts["fontHuman"]);
            ImGui::Text(("Current Map: " + currentMap->name).c_str());
            ImGui::Text(("Current Sector: " + currentMap->currentSector.name).c_str());
            ImGui::PopFont();

            ImGui::PushFont(fonts["fontSylvari"]);
            ImGui::Text(("Current Map: " + currentMap->name).c_str());
            ImGui::Text(("Current Sector: " + currentMap->currentSector.name).c_str());
            ImGui::PopFont();

            ImGui::PushFont(fonts["fontNorn"]);
            ImGui::Text(("Current Map: " + currentMap->name).c_str());
            ImGui::Text(("Current Sector: " + currentMap->currentSector.name).c_str());
            ImGui::PopFont();

            ImGui::PushFont(fonts["fontAsura2"]);
            ImGui::Text(("Current Map: " + currentMap->name).c_str());
            ImGui::Text(("Current Sector: " + currentMap->currentSector.name).c_str());
            ImGui::PopFont();
        }
        else {
            ImGui::Text("No current map detected. :(");
        }

    }
    ImGui::End();
}

#

which brings me to the conclusion that "draggable" area is where the fonts are being drawn to since auto resize is set

#

but they are not actually drawn for some reason

#

oh. it did not break the addons frame but it did break the other frames like options, debug log etc. 😄

#

Before Load:

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

did you just paint.net yourself?

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

after load

#

ye idk what happened there kek

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

I don't think I maintain a pointer to the default font

#

so you probably break it because of that?

#

because there's no "active" font anymore?

#

let me check

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

quite possible

#

I tried copying your fontatlas:

ImFontAtlas nexusAtlas = *io.Fonts;
// initialize with nexusAtlas as base, hopefully
newFontAtlas = new ImFontAtlas(nexusAtlas);

#

game didn't like that

#

at all

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:06 PM

#

I remember there being something like "ImGui::SetCurrentFont

#

the stylised (e.g. addons) windows uses PushFont/PopFont

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

#

push and pop is also what I am using in an attempt to swap it

#

what I don't get is why the nexus default font is still available but the rest of the styles get lost entirely

#

at least for the frames. compass for example renders fine now, that one broke too on my earlier attempts at rebuilding the preconfigured atlas

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

not sure, what does GetFont return?

#

is it a nullptr?

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:23 PM

#

doesn't seem so. added

ImGui::PushFont((ImFont*)NexusLink->Font);
if (ImGui::GetFont() == nullptr) {
    APIDefs->Log(ELogLevel_TRACE, ADDON_NAME, "NexusLink->Font = nullptr");
}

#

I added this after basically every pushfont call and there was no log message

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:23 PM

#

do it outside of pushfont

#

basically at the beginning of Render

#

because PushFont should obviously push a font

#

but I'm curious if outside of that, the font stays null

#

(after you rebuilt)

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:24 PM

#

ye... here is a bit more:

ImGui::PushFont((ImFont*)NexusLink->Font);
if (ImGui::GetFont() == nullptr) {
    APIDefs->Log(ELogLevel_TRACE, ADDON_NAME, "NexusLink->Font = nullptr");
}
ImGui::Text("Map Details Frame");
ImGui::PopFont();

MapData* currentMap = currentMapService.getCurrentMap();

if (currentMap != nullptr) {
    // Default Font
    if (ImGui::GetFont() == nullptr) {
        APIDefs->Log(ELogLevel_TRACE, ADDON_NAME, "Default font = nullptr");
    }
    ImGui::Text(std::to_string(currentMap->id).c_str());
    ImGui::Text(currentMap->continentName.c_str());
    ImGui::Text(currentMap->name.c_str());
    ImGui::Text(currentMap->currentSector.name.c_str());
.....```

#

so basically default font should also not be a nullptr here

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:24 PM

#

ah

#

DefaultFont does not report nullptr?

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:24 PM

#

nope

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

but doesn't render either

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

also nope

#

along with the other stuff not rendering, that's a bit... disturbing

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

can you send me the dll?

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

sure

#

📎 RegionsDisplay.dll

#

unload is a bit wonky if you unload while it still initializes

#

I haven't fixed the unload while initialize thread is still active crash pain

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

what's the font file path?

#

for your custom font

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:27 PM

#

should unpack its fonts into addons/TyrianRegions

#

#


        std::string pathFolder = APIDefs->GetAddonDirectory(ADDON_NAME);
        fonts.emplace("fontCharr", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_charr.ttf", 48.0f));
        fonts.emplace("fontHuman", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_human.ttf", 48.0f));
        fonts.emplace("fontSylvari", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_sylvari.ttf", 48.0f));
        fonts.emplace("fontNorn", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_norn.ttf", 48.0f));
        fonts.emplace("fontAsura", loadFont(io, pathFolder + "/font_asura.ttf", 48.0f));

basically

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:28 PM

#

doesn't for me, it cannot find them

#

I placed mine manually for now

#

very interesting

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

the "no text in menu" is also something I had

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:30 PM

#

the textures for font are nullptr

#

and the rest of the font is so massive because there's probably a popfont missing?

#

same thing here, the text exists but is null

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:31 PM

#

maybe? tbh I had hoped the resources would unpack for you so that already is weird pain

#

the weird thing is I popped the dll that is in my addons directory

#

and I get the fonts on some elements

#

#

the side effects are... something

#

loaded squad manager

#

#

then loaded learning project

#

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:36 PM

#

squad manager bases the icons off font size

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:37 PM

#

and if there is no font it's just the png I reckon

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:37 PM

#

yea, I wonder why it reports it as so big then

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:37 PM

#

maybe my resolution? 1920x1080

#

and if it's the default size of the png?

#

I'm gonna put "changing font" into the "currently cursed" category

#

or rather "adding custom font"

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:40 PM

#

yea

#

use the NexusLink->FontBig and Font ones

#

until I give you a fix for custom ones

#

or you somehow manage it

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:40 PM

#

I will just try to do more cursed stuff

#

it's a learning experience mostly after all

#

also, thanks for the assistance, feedback and holding hands, much appreciated

#

oh, and one more request: did the map jsons extract on addonload at least? I have a suspicion that font unpacking is bugged rn because of a bad flag check, might have something like this in your nexus log:

2024-05-19 17:21:56     [TyrianRegions]     [INFO] Maps.zip extracted from module.

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

everything except the 5 fonts was auto created

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

yeah, bad condition on my check then

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

gave up on the font thing for now, took some time and some sanity back cleaning up stuff, finally making that github repo and figuring out rough text position
FontBig is really... not as big as I expected kek

#

next step is figuring out how to fade it in and out once a sector change has been detected

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

yea don't lose your mind over the font

#

we'll figure something out together

#

for the animations in nexus (e.g. hovering over quick access)

#

I have a thread that performs animations

#

let me share it

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

I already had something in mind, curious how that compares to yours

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

std::thread        AnimationThread;
bool            IsAnimating            = false;
bool            IsFadingIn            = false;
bool            IsHovering            = false;

void Fade()
{
    IsAnimating = true;
    while (IsAnimating)
    {
        if (IsFadingIn)                { Opacity += 0.05f; }
        else                        { Opacity -= 0.05f; }

        if (Opacity > 1)            { Opacity = 1.0f; IsAnimating = false; }
        else if (Opacity < 0.5f)    { Opacity = 0.5f; IsAnimating = false; }

        Sleep(35);
    }
}

then somewhere in my render logic:

bool newHoverState = ImGui::IsWindowHovered() || isActive || isHoveringNative;
if (newHoverState != IsHovering)
{
    if (newHoverState) { IsFadingIn = true; }
    else { IsFadingIn = false; }

    if (!IsAnimating)
    {
        AnimationThread = std::thread(Fade);
        AnimationThread.detach();
    }
}
IsHovering = newHoverState;

this second part is a bit confusing, because basically when clicking a button, when hovering nexus buttons or when hovering native (gw2) buttons I want to check

but in reality what you'll have to do is check -> region crossed? yes -> is already animating? no -> start animation thread

#

and so for example when you stop hovering, I just change the "IsFadingIn" to false, and the thread keeps running until it reaches the desired opacity

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 8:46 PM

#

yeah this is pretty much my gameplan as well, was curious if that would work with imgui, and the answer apparently is yes

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

yep

candid wolf May 19, 2024, 9:29 PM

#

works perfectly fine after some tweaks, thank you a lot!

#

(also sorry if there's audio in this, apparently nvidia captures audio as well)

#

the tweaks:

void fade() {
    // fade in
    while (true)
    {
        opacity += 0.05f;
        if (opacity > 1) { 
            opacity = 1.0f; 
            break;
        }

        Sleep(35);
    }
    Sleep(3000); // sleep first so the text stays a little
    // fade out
    while (true)
    {
        opacity -= 0.05f;

        if (opacity < 0.0f) { 
            opacity = 0.0f; 
            break;
        }

        Sleep(35);
    }
    animating = false;
}

Basically I need a fade in -> wait -> fade out routine so I can drop that IsFadingIn flag entirely. and I could probably drop the flag for IsAnimating too because you can ask if a thread is joinable (= running) or not (= idling) if my understanding is correct

#

I might go ahead and fine tune it to cancel the current animation and start a new one once a sector change has been detected

#

because right now when you cross multiple sectors during the 3000 sleep the text will update but the animation will continue like it's still the first which obviously could lead to weird behavior for the gamer

dark wagon May 19, 2024, 10:13 PM

#

ooo

#

that already looks great

#

next up I'll figure what I can do regarding fonts

sour citrus May 20, 2024, 5:28 AM

#

dark wagon ```cpp std::thread AnimationThread; bool IsAnimating ...

MonkaS race conditions

candid wolf May 20, 2024, 7:32 AM

#

Multi threading is hard pain

candid wolf May 20, 2024, 1:16 PM

#

I suspect the global position for competitive modes is not that easily accessible?

dark wagon May 20, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

nah it's disabled in PvP

#

(and WvW)

candid wolf May 20, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

shame. is player position working at least or is that also turned off?

dark wagon May 20, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

player position works yea

#

if you go into Menu -> Debug

candid wolf May 20, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

so I can do the unhinged conversion thing and it should work, nice

dark wagon May 20, 2024, 1:18 PM

#

there's a checkbox at the top "show mumble overlay"

#

I bound mine to Alt + F3 for easy access

#

you can see which values are nulled

candid wolf May 20, 2024, 1:18 PM

#

oh yeah I always forget that's there

dark wagon May 20, 2024, 1:18 PM

#

but it's only those few

candid wolf May 20, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

yeah, I think short from starting my own ImgUi context I am now out of ideas. even resorted to asking chatgpt and all it came up with was basically "here is how you add the font" (I know this already) "and here is how you add it to the current device. now good luck finding out how to access the device"

#

so I guess I'm gonna put that idea on hold until you greenlight me to try. no rush on that, base project is working and I'm currently cleaning and polishing for a potential release

dark wagon May 20, 2024, 6:58 PM

#

seriously

#

put it on hold

#

make everything work beside that

#

and we figure something out together

candid wolf May 20, 2024, 7:00 PM

#

yea yea, I just had another couple hours of unplanned time and figured that's the best way to spend it. guess I was wrong lol

candid wolf May 21, 2024, 9:24 AM

okay, I have cleaned up the most important stuff. waiting for the release tonight to precompile the new map infos then I'd be ready for a beta release within the next couple days. are there any documented steps on how to proceed besides pinging you?

dark wagon May 21, 2024, 10:01 AM

#

Important things are:
Have a Github release with the format v1.2.3.4 or just 1.2.3.4 for release detection

If you want it listed in the library:
I do that manually

#

there's nothing else really to know

candid wolf May 21, 2024, 10:28 AM

#

Reasonable. Will ping you once I have it set up then, thanks

dark wagon May 21, 2024, 10:46 AM

#

yea and if you want your own channel

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:07 PM

#

alright, I've done about half a map completion and some metas with this release https://github.com/HeavyMetalPirate/GW2Nexus-RegionsOfTyria/releases/tag/1.1.0.0 and had no crashes or issues
would love to have it added, wouldn't mind beta tag tbh because I haven't gone through each map obviously. also separate channel for coordination & feedback would be appreciated, thank you!

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:08 PM

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

tbf I'd remove the "Spiritual port of the BlishHUD module." part

#

put it on the repo imo

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

sounds good to me

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

I think people don't really "care" about that when installing an addon where the original idea comes from

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

just wanna give credit where it's due, but repo probably is sufficient yeah

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

but it's nice to give credit on a proper full readme etc

#

maybe soon when I extend the descriptions you can put it back

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

candid wolf just wanna give credit where it's due, but repo probably is sufficient yeah

idk your call

#

just giving my two cents

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

yeah remove it, makes it a bit shorter, already pretty lengthy

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

SeemsGood

#

should be live, I'll create a channel for you

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:14 PM

#

lovely, thanks a lot, and also for the assistance getting here

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

I also left the sentence

#

because I'm a pepega

#

let me fix that lol

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

haha

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

wait nah I didn't

#

you have it in the module

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

oh yeah, right

#

I'm gonna remove it and create a fix release in a bit

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:16 PM

#

no rush really lmao

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:16 PM

#

yeye I am currently in WvW anyways

#

no time to fix strings when there's plebs to farm

dark wagon May 23, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

#regions-of-tyria

#

works very well

#

I like it a lot

#

waiting for the day someone does a check if (CharacterName == "I Facetank Bosses") { DoALittleTrolling(); }

candid wolf May 23, 2024, 3:21 PM

#

I'm working on another idea whenever I'm bored doing region stuff so maybe?

#

it's another blish hud idea ~~steal~~ port and also would profit from custom fonts a bit kek

candid wolf Jun 1, 2024, 8:23 PM

#

making progress on the custom fonts part

#

(kinda)

#

apparently, if you call io.Fonts->Build you destroy all textures. but if you then rebuild new textures entirely the previous fonts get kinda lost

#

I have the strong suspicion that this might be the problematic bit:

// TODO get hold of the global ID3D11ShaderResourceView somehow?
ID3D11ShaderResourceView* g_pFontTextureView = nullptr; // ????
hr = device->CreateShaderResourceView(pTexture, &srvDesc, &g_pFontTextureView);

dark wagon Jun 1, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

if you can manage to add more fonts at runtime

#

I can export a function for you to call

#

and implement your logic

candid wolf Jun 1, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

I'm still investigating if that's the issue or not. I should be able to grab the ShaderResourceView from somewhere

dark wagon Jun 1, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

if yes, then from the font atlas

candid wolf Jun 1, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

shouldn't it be in the d3d11 device or its context?

dark wagon Jun 1, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

in general yes

#

but I doubt you can get it from there lol

#

check imgui internals

candid wolf Jun 1, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

already on it

candid wolf Jun 1, 2024, 9:02 PM

#

Hmmmm... Hmm
the first time my addons PreRender is called is before the d3d11 global device is set up..

#

my early attempts were with ImGui_ImplDX11_InvalidateDeviceObjects()

#

and that method starts like

#

void    ImGui_ImplDX11_InvalidateDeviceObjects()
{
    if (!g_pd3dDevice)
        return;

#

and g_pd3dDevice is always null

#

this comes from #include "../imgui/imgui_impl_dx11.h" ... it's probably not a good idea to use that?

dark wagon Jun 1, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

candid wolf Hmmmm... <:Hmm:823981338600275969> the first time my addons PreRender is called...

correct

#

void Render()
{
    PreRenderCallbacks(); // <- This is where your stuff is called.

    ImGui_ImplWin32_NewFrame();
    ImGui_ImplDX11_NewFrame();
    ImGui::NewFrame();

    RenderCallbacks(); // <- This is where your stuff is called.

    ImGui::EndFrame();
    ImGui::Render();
    Renderer::DeviceContext->OMSetRenderTargets(1, &Renderer::RenderTargetView, NULL);
    ImGui_ImplDX11_RenderDrawData(ImGui::GetDrawData());

    PostRenderCallbacks(); // <- This is where your stuff is called.
}

pseudo code for nexus internal renderer: https://github.com/RaidcoreGG/api-cdi/tree/main/AddonHost/API#using-events-keybinds-resources-and-all-the-other-good-stuff

#

so you call before DX11_NewFrame()

candid wolf Jun 1, 2024, 9:31 PM

#

which is where I need to add the fonts to begin with. can't touch the font atlas while a new frame is active

dark wagon Jun 1, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

then call the necessary imgui functions yourself

#

you have the context

candid wolf Jun 1, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

yeah

#

atm I'm at reimplementing the create fonts functions with the caveats that I am still looking for some pointers to the old objects

candid wolf Jun 1, 2024, 10:29 PM

#

I think I know what needs to happen if you wanna fix it in Nexus... mods need to be able to call ImGui_ImplDX11_InvalidateDeviceObjects managed by Nexus.

#

If I include the header myself I always get like a mod internal version that isn't initialized in any way

#

bonus points if you wanna implement this version that's a bit easier on the system: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2311#issuecomment-824406387

#

I will continue digging tomorrow or some time next week to see if I can get it under control on mod side

#

but it's a bit weird because I still have no idea where to find everything I need to replace / reset

dark wagon Apr 26, 2025, 9:37 AM

candid wolf Working space for an addon that displays the current region whenever you enter a...

hoary mural Apr 29, 2025, 10:56 PM

#

After last update to arcdps whenever Regions of Tyria is enabled displays a weird font on arcdps extension (in the image is BuildPad, previously was on Boon Table as well). Not sure if it's related but posting here because I don't have a Github account.

candid wolf Apr 30, 2025, 5:30 AM

#

Nothing I can do about if these add-ons pull the wrong fonts for their display

hoary mural Apr 30, 2025, 10:42 AM

#

candid wolf Nothing I can do about if these add-ons pull the wrong fonts for their display

Yeah I understand now that is not Regions of Tyria fault and proceeded to bring the attention to the creator of BuildPad. Thanks for your work!

granite relic Aug 12, 2025, 4:26 AM

I dont know if I'm just insane or not but it seems every time the region text pops up my Shift + [blank] inputs just stop working. Can provide video evidence but all problems go away when the region text goes away/I disable the addon.
-# I'm also sorry if this has been talked about already and I just cant see it in this thread.

candid wolf Aug 12, 2025, 7:00 PM

#

can't reproduce this I'm afraid. I have my guild panel on shift+b and can just open it fine

granite relic Aug 12, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

PaimonThink Let me get a video then I guess.

candid wolf Aug 12, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

I mean I believe it's happening on your end. I am saying I can't reproduce it, and I do not temper with keybinds at all, so I have no idea and no means to figure it out

granite relic Aug 12, 2025, 8:39 PM

#

PaimonThink hm. Upon trying to recreate, I think it might just be another issue like you said and I'm sorry for bothering you.
It seems to be the first couple of seconds on region change, regardless of if the mod is loaded or not. Either that or some other wizardry I can't seem to figure out. I just equated it to the mod as it seemed to go away when I disabled it and tried to recreate it last night.

candid wolf Aug 12, 2025, 9:00 PM

#

No worries, if you encounter issues and have a lead it's always good to hear about even if it turns out wrong. Are you talking about individual regions on the same map, or after loading into a new map? Maybe it's this issue here? https://discord.com/channels/410828272679518241/1402658249555181588

This seems to be the exact culprit, yes. I will follow the thread! Thanks!

Is it possible to add a feature/option to "Show Map IP Address on Minimap" ?

Similar to how we can show sector name at the top of the minimap, maybe we can show map ip address at the bottom

candid wolf Sep 13, 2025, 8:22 AM

#

feasible, yes. then again I have limited time and I am not spending a lot of that on gw2 these days. but this addon is open source so contributions are welcome, probably at the cost of sanity considering the spaghetti code in this addon xdd

thin whale Nov 24, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

@errant inlet Will u also be taking over maintenance of this mod? If so could u add an option to set a cooldown to the name popping up on the screen (for example only once every 15 or 30 seconds) that way if you're playing in the border area between two zones u don't have the names constantly appearing (this happens a lot when doing storms of winter meta for example)

errant inlet Nov 24, 2025, 6:32 AM

#

Hey, thanks for heads up! Well, given my skill set (and to be frank interests as well) I'd prefer to focus on the RE based addons, which this one is not.

#

But... I might give it a look if no one else finds time until then

tidal roost Mar 31, 2026, 8:19 AM

#

@errant inlet Sorry for the ping but i was wandering whether i could request something? Only if u find the time since i know that ur not committed or anything. But i was just wandering if we could get the race specific fonts based on the region rather than the character race.

So like if i go to ashford its a charr font, if i go to queensdale its a human font?

errant inlet Mar 31, 2026, 8:20 AM

#

oh man, sorry its been over a month and I still haven't had time toa ctually look into it :/

tidal roost Mar 31, 2026, 8:20 AM

#

nah its alright bro, it was a shot in the dark regardless xD

errant inlet Mar 31, 2026, 8:21 AM

#

sorry work still piles up and I can't really promis anything atm, my current work/hobby plan is:

TWC release
internal library cleanup
Dude where are my tools rewrite
Regions of Tyria probably...?

tidal roost Mar 31, 2026, 8:22 AM

#

TWC? im guessin thats a plugin ur workin on. Anyway i appreciate u talkin to me, maybe ill learn to code for modules and see what i can do. Surely it would just be a database that reads the name of the region and then flags a signal to change the font?

#

or a list

errant inlet Mar 31, 2026, 8:26 AM

#

TWC = https://discord.com/channels/410828272679518241/1336830031053324308

#

but yeah, its probably that this addon is not using any Reverse Engineering soooooo

#

the entry level is much lower than others xD

#

well, maybe not "much" but lower

tidal roost Mar 31, 2026, 8:28 AM

#

good thing or bad thing? XD
I got alot on my plate regardless so i dont even know if i could do that but yeah

#

ty for lookin at this chat tho (ig i pinged u but w/e)

errant inlet Mar 31, 2026, 8:29 AM

#

good thing, RE isn't as hard sa one would imagine, same with software engineering
