Possible hide layer issue/new brush issue?


Recommended Posts

Is not being able to create new brushes from hiding all layers known?

 

Repeatedly now I've found I've been unable to create new brushes by dragging. Hitting ESC doesn't change the behavior (confirming I don't have something random selected). Quitting DR and rerunning resolved it. But I believe I've found the cause, I was hitting Hide All layers, then turning on the layer I wanted--no new brush. Instead, if I unchecked other layers I was still able to build. Similarly, if you uncheck all layers (it's not just the Hide All button) so no layer is showing, then turn a layer on, no dragging out new brushes. So something about the condition of having no active layers seems to bork the new brush creation process it seems.

That's a little convoluted for me to understand, can you put it in point form? I'm kinda dumb when it comes to complicated things like this.

Make the steps as easy to understand/repeat as possible, to maximize the chances the coders can reproduce it/fix it.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Yes, it's known. I've pointed this out a couple times on DR threads, but no one else experienced it, so I never submitted an issue for it.

 

As a workaround, I no longer hide all layers. If I need to work in one or two visible layers, I hide the rest one by one.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
