Darkradiant 2.0 bugs:

[motorsep]

/me thinks greebo should have gone with Qt instead of wxWidgets

[greebo]

If the user click's on DR in the task bar the 'layers' popup keeps getting selected.

DR isnt remembering the location of its 'layers' popup, so may be related to the above.

Which window layout are you using? I'm using Embedded, and when I open the Layers dialog here, resize and move it, close it and then reopen it again, its size and position are preserved, just as intended.

 

In camera view the shadowmesh on models ZF's horribly, see post

This seems to happen in both DarkRadiant 1.8.x and the recent builds, so this is not a newly introduced defect. Maybe it's not even a defect, because with the model in the screenshot (models/darkmod/furniture/privacy_screen.ase), it's entirely possible that the shadowmesh and the regular mesh are indeed sharing planes, in which case this is expected behaviour.

• I am unable to test the latest build, see the pre release thread.
  
• The 'effect' is far worse in 2.0 than in 1.8.1, I can do comparitive screenshots if you like?

What happened to split pane view? when I set it, all panes are from the top:

 

 

 

Uninstalled DR and deleted the appsdata folder, reinstalled and still have this.

Should be top, left and front.

[New Horizon]

You can change the view in any pane by alt tabbing or something like that, can't you? I can't remember the exact keyboard combination. maybe they're just all defaulting to the top down view.

[AluminumHaste]

Yeah they're definitely defaulting to top down view. DR didn't used to do that. Used to be Top, Right, Front.

[greebo]

I'm pretty sure that DR 1.8.x did the same, but once the views have been set to what you prefer the state is saved between sessions. I can't confirm it right now but I think that's what it was supposed to do.

[AluminumHaste]

Never had this issue with DR1.8. I would install it, pick Split pane and restart DR and it would be correct. I've NEVER had to manually set the views in split pane, ever.

 

Also another issue is that everytime I close DR, it crashes and my settings are lost.

[AluminumHaste]

Yup, what I thought, DR 1.8.1 works just fine.

I installed it, set it to split pane, restarted DR and I get the proper layout:

 

 

[greebo]

Can you send me the user.xml file? Maybe the settings are not restored correctly by DR 2.

[Bikerdude]

Guys, dont forget that I discovered a while back that DR 2 dosent like DR 181's prefs. I had to nuke the the whole prefs folder (C:\Users\b1k3rdude\AppData\Roaming\DarkRadiant) for DR181 before running DR2.

[AluminumHaste]

Yeah Biker that was the first thing I did when I was having issues. I uninstalled DR 2.0 and then deleted the prefs folder.

Then I reinstalled DR 2.0 and ran it again and had the same problem.

[New Horizon]

If you change them manually, close DR and then restart, are they saved on subsequent startups?

[AluminumHaste]

Okay interestingly, when I first run DR 2.0 it loads up fine, I can open maps and close the program just fine.

When I change to split pane view and restart I get the aforementioned weirdness where all ortho views are top.

 

When I then close DR, I get a crash

[AluminumHaste]

No because DR crashes on every shut down with Split pane view set, so those prefs always revert.

Now I haven't tried the 2.01 beta as it's 64 bit only and this work computer is 32bit Windows 7.

[Gantolandon]

I fiddled with the startpack a bit, drew a large cuboid and fiddled a bit with its size, moving it around. Somehow, I managed to make the orthographic view show it in another position than the camera. It became apparent when the camera view shown my cuboid bisecting the little equipment room, while on the orthographic view it was completely outside. I saved and restarted the program, and both views correctly shown the cuboid bisecting the room. I didn't manage to reproduce this again, though.

 

Edit: All right, I think I got it.

 

Steps to reproduce:

 

1. Draw a cuboid somewhere near another object.

2. Select your cuboid.

3. Right-click the map, create a model. The model will be selected along with the cuboid and they will both move together.

4. Move them around.

5. Ctrl-Z until the model disappears.

6. Move the cuboid around, until the camera shows it bisecting another object on the map.

Wow, that's something new, very odd behaviour. I didn't think this is possible at all - an object showing up in a different position in each view. Can you put that in a bug report on the tracker, please?

Done.

[greebo]

Thanks. I've added a quick fix to prevent that situation from occurring. The "Create model" option is now disabled when a brush is selected.
