DarkRadiant 2.0.1 pre-release test

[greebo 29]

If I click on the 'Layers window', the main application window becomes de-selected. If I want to do 'anything' in the main DR window, or the transform & surface-inspe. windows I have to click on the main DR window.

I don't understand the situation yet - when you want to do something with the DR main window, don't you have to click on it anyway? Are we talking about keyboard shortcuts (these should be propagated to the main window even if the Layer dialog is in focus).

 

Yes, but whats happening under 201 is that I can't reduce the size of the layers window to the same size (horizontialy) as I could under 181. But I've just realised that is because you have moved the 'new layer' button so its inline with the other buttons, so if you cant make it so the layers window is any more shrinkable I understand.

I've moved the new button to a separate row again. I thought that having the buttons in one row would be beneficial such that users have more space for the actual layer buttons, but if horizontal space is more important then that's ok with me as well.

 

And with rgeard to the layers window I have just noticed that there is a bigger gap between the last layer and the 'new', 'show all' & 'hide all' buttons.

I adjusted some of the spacings, it should be a bit tighter now.

 

A new build (pre5) is going to be uploaded in a few minutes.

• I will make a video.
  
• having all 3 buttons on the same row is beneficial, so I was happy with that when I realised thats thats what you had done - if you want maybe make all 3 button smaller? but no porblem if you cant.
  
• Downloading pre5

Wow, that's what I'd call a bug explanation. Thanks a lot for going through recording and explaining the behaviour - I can see what the issue is, I'm going to try to repro it on my system.

I made a few minor fixes to the build on Linux, but now there is this new crash on startup:

Currently I'm investigating whether changing all of the wxUtil::TreeModel* raw pointers to wxObjectDataPtr<wxUtil::TreeModel> smart pointers fixes the issue (when in doubt, systematically switching to smart pointers does occasionally fix subtle memory issues).

[greebo 29]

Is the crash something new in the last few builds?

 

Anyway, you could add some debug output in wxutil::TreeView::AssociateModel, to see whether calling wxDataViewCtrl::AssociateModel(NULL) is causing the problems. I had to add that call to clear treeview selections on model change, and it works fine in the windows implementation, but maybe the wxGTK port has problems with this?

 

One could also check if the TreeStore returned in MediaBrowser::onTreeStorePopulationFinished() is non-NULL (I believe this is always the case).

It didn't happen until I merged the codereader/master branch, but I haven't yet isolated the problem to a specific commit.

Using pre5 atm

 

Bugs -

• If you select a entity in 181 you were then able to scroll up and down in the entity inspector window, under 201 you have to click on the entity and then in the inspector window before scrolling works.
  
• While in the 'Choose Sound' inspector, if you have a sound selected, then play it under 181 you could still scroll up and down through the sounds, under 201 you cannot.
  
• When choosing a sound shader for an entity, under 181 you would be taken to its location in the SoundShader tree, under 201 that vew is reset every time.
  
• After closing the SoundShader window, hitting the save shortcut key dosent work untill I click into the main DR window.
  
• The divider between the left & right windows in the skins selector isnt moveable under 201 like it is under 181, this is a problem as its obstructing the vew of the skin descriptions.
  
• if you have a model/brush or brush face selected and then go to press the escape to de-select, that no longer works. You have to click in the main DR windows before exscape to de-select works again.
  
• While browsing for prefabs, if you clicked on any non-prefile file you get an error popup, see attached. Also I dont remember the .darkradiant file being visible under 181.
  
• The prefabs selector is missing the paths window and the ability to add remembered paths under 201, see attached.
  

Feedback -

• Loading and saving maps is a bit slower than 181, this is minor so understand if this dosent get and bugfix time.

Well switching to wxObjectDataPtr didn't magically fix the crash, although it was probably still worth doing since it's cleaner and avoids lots of manual calls to IncRef() and DecRef(). However, the debugger does confirm your hypothesis that AssociateModel(NULL) is the cause of the problem. I guess the wx developers never considered this possibility, which seems careless since they should have used a reference if the argument is required to never be NULL.

 

If the problem is with clearing selections, do you think that calling UnselectAll() prior to changing the model in the AssociateModel() implementation would work instead of using a NULL model?

[greebo 29]

If the problem is with clearing selections, do you think that calling UnselectAll() prior to changing the model in the AssociateModel() implementation would work instead of using a NULL model?

That's probably the way to go, and a simple one as well. I'll give it a try to see if it works, but it should. I couldn't solve the problem of internal notifier instances stacking up anyway. It's happening in the ModelSelector, which is never destroying its models, it's just switching them back and forth, which leads to notifiers being added to the models infinitely. I was going to try refactoring the ModelSelector to using a single TreeModel plus a TreeModelFilter but I haven't got around to it.

[greebo 29]

Looking good, it's committed to my master branch. Does it work better in Linux now?

First time I could get the sources from your repo built on my Gentoo. So I guess that counts as better

[OrbWeaver 449]

Interesting. "compile", "test-driver" and "libtool" all show as untracked files in my working tree, so maybe I need to add these into Git too.

They are not system files owned by a package, they are generated by the Automake script. If you have the automake package installed, you should be able to run ./autogen.sh in the DarkRadiant directory to create them.

Looking good, it's committed to my master branch. Does it work better in Linux now?

 

Looks good as regards the crash on startup, but I get a crash when trying to show the Models selector:

This occurs with or without my changes to the TreeModel pointers, and may in fact be an old problem since I think this is the first time I've actually tried the Insert Model command since the wxWidgets changes. However I have no idea what the problem can be. There doesn't seem to be any multi-threading related code in progress, and the crash happens deep inside wxWidgets in response to wxProgressDialog::Pulse().

 

I note that there is a warning about the yielding for events behaviour of wxGenericProgressDialog in the docs though, and a suggestion not to use it in multi-threaded code. I wonder if the progress dialog has been left in a bad state due to a previous multi-threaded invocation, even if the models population is single-threaded.

 

UPDATE: I could fix the crash by moving the ModelSelector::setupTreeView call to after the model has been populated. I guess wxWidgets tree views don't like kicking around without a model attached.

[7318 10]

compiled and worked fine for the first time but since then wheneverI try to launch it I get this:

but THERE IS a '<' at line 1 in user.xml, in fact DR creates a user.xml file if it's missing, here it is:

and I also got the log:

• If you select a entity in 181 you were then able to scroll up and down in the entity inspector window, under 201 you have to click on the entity and then in the inspector window before scrolling works.
  
• While in the 'Choose Sound' inspector, if you have a sound selected, then play it under 181 you could still scroll up and down through the sounds, under 201 you cannot.
  
• When choosing a sound shader for an entity, under 181 you would be taken to its location in the SoundShader tree, under 201 that vew is reset every time.
  
• The divider between the left & right windows in the skins selector isnt moveable under 201 like it is under 181, this is a problem as its obstructing the vew of the skin descriptions.
  
• While browsing for prefabs, if you clicked on any non-prefile file you get an error popup, see attached. Also I dont remember the .darkradiant file being visible under 181.
  

I could resolve the above

 

if you have a model/brush or brush face selected and then go to press the escape to de-select, that no longer works. You have to click in the main DR windows before exscape to de-select works again.

This I don't understand.

 

• Loading and saving maps is a bit slower than 181, this is minor so understand if this dosent get and bugfix time.
  
• After closing the SoundShader window, hitting the save shortcut key dosent work untill I click into the main DR window.
  
• The prefabs selector is missing the paths window and the ability to add remembered paths under 201, see attached.
  

I can't look at these at the moment. The shortcut handling is probably due for a rewrite but this is too much for the 2.0.1 release, so I'll postpone that to a later release. (I have a separate branch in the works anyway with rewritten mouse interaction code, and it needs serious testing too).

 

The prefab selector is completely different to 1.8.1, obviously, so I had to cut a few things to get it into 2.0.0. Right now it's only loading from the active prefab directory - is there need to load prefabs from somewhere else?

 

Anyway, a new pre-release build is in the works and will be uploaded in a couple of minutes (pre6). Refer to the first post for linkage.

1. I could resolve the above
   
2. This I don't understand.

(I have a separate branch in the works anyway with rewritten mouse interaction code, and it needs serious testing too).
   
4. Is there need to load prefabs from somewhere else?
   

1. yes I got the bugfix emails, much appreciated.
   
2. if you have something selected in camera view, bit it a model, patch, brush or the face of a brush - in 181 you hit the escape key to deselect. In 201 I had to select the main DR window before exscape wotk work as it did in 181.
   
3. This is looking more and more likly the same issue I have had with a few other functions where "I have to click into the main DR window" to get them to work normally. Which you have already fixed for other functions in bullet point 1.
   
4. Yes absolutly, I open and save prefabs from -
   

• the stock prefabs folder,
  
• my custom prefabs folder,
  
• the prefabs folder of the FM I'm working on
  
• and sometimes the root of the data drive for temp prefabs.
  

Regarding the prefabs, did you manage to have a look at the prefab inspector issue where if you clicked on anyfile that wasent a prefab you got an "unrecognised file" error popup..?

[Bikerdude 3736]

Found a few more bugs/issues -

• If you rotate an object with the arbitrart transform inspector, and then press "ctrl-z" it dosent work
  
• Due to the new layout if the light inspector, when you click the colour box the light value/percentage option is no longer avaiable. Is it possble to change the luminace field to a percentage/value feild?
  
• Option for the colour name is not present, again its handy to copy the colour name from one light to another.
  
• While in the entity inspector, while entering a value in a filed, you cant press escape to de-select the hightited entity, which you could under 181. This looks similar to the other "cant press escape" issue. See attached.
  
• The surface inspector, fit textures boxes. The old figures were 001 & 001, I assume mappers can still enter decimals, eg 0.5 etc? See attached.
  
• While holding a selected item in orthoview, you could move/scroll off the edge of the work area, in 201 you can't.
  
• The animation play button dosent change colour when clicked on, for animation on/off etc (it goes red in 181)

I'm looking at 2.0.0 rather than the pre-release, but I wanted to add to the 'can't press escape issue' that Ctrl+S also won't work for me while a text field in the entity inspector, etc. has focus--so it may be a general problem with keyboard commands rather than something specific to Esc.

Wanted to add to the 'can't press escape issue' that Ctrl+S also won't work for me while a text field in the entity inspector, etc. has focus--so it may be a general problem with keyboard combinations rather than something specific to Esc.

Im getting this issue in a few situations, currently I am copy and pasting textures to brush faces etc and its disrupts workflow not being able to deselect the highlighted item via the escape key without clicking in the main DR window first.

[7318 10]

now it works!

 

the console keeps spewing

 

_xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never happen.

 

the 3D view displays the faces wrong, the hidden surfaces display on top of the surfaces that should be on top. and if I go unclipped all the way I see the furthest parts of the level on top of the more closest ones

[greebo 29]

If you have something selected in camera view, bit it a model, patch, brush or the face of a brush - in 181 you hit the escape key to deselect. In 201 I had to select the main DR window before exscape wotk work as it did in 181.

Can't reproduce that at all. I create a brush, hit Ctrl-Shift-LMB to select a face of that brush in the camera view, hit ESC - it's unselected.

 

This is looking more and more likly the same issue I have had with a few other functions where "I have to click into the main DR window" to get them to work normally. Which you have already fixed for other functions in bullet point 1.

I'm aware that the shortcut handling needs some work, it mostly occurs when buttons or text entry fields are in focus. I can only fix that on a global level, which requires more work, so this is something I'm going to leave out for this 2.0.1 release.

 

Yes absolutly, I open and save prefabs from -

• the stock prefabs folder,
  
• my custom prefabs folder,
  
• the prefabs folder of the FM I'm working on
  
• and sometimes the root of the data drive for temp prefabs.
  

Ok, I'll see what I can do. This requires a new design of the dialog's file handling, because it's no longer possible to attach a preview to the filechooser like it was in GTK+ (this is one of the very few features that GTK+ had over wxWidgets - the latter is using native controls and native Windows controls don't have a customised preview widget, at least not a good one (see Photoshop for instance, the preview is laughable, because it has the same problem)).

 

Please add a tracker entry, something like "Need option to browse prefabs from non-FM paths" or along those lines.

 

Regarding the prefabs, did you manage to have a look at the prefab inspector issue where if you clicked on anyfile that wasent a prefab you got an "unrecognised file" error popup..?

Non-pfb files are now hidden, and folders don't issue that warning anymore. The popup will still occur if a prefab is corrupt or unrecognised.

 

If you rotate an object with the arbitrart transform inspector, and then press "ctrl-z" it dosent work

Same shortcut handling problem.

 

Due to the new layout if the light inspector, when you click the colour box the light value/percentage option is no longer avaiable. Is it possble to change the luminace field to a percentage/value feild? Option for the colour name is not present, again its handy to copy the colour name from one light to another.

This is the control that Windows provides. Maybe there is a custom colour picker control available somewhere for use in wxWidgets, otherwise we're stuck with this.

 

While in the entity inspector, while entering a value in a filed, you cant press escape to de-select the hightited entity, which you could under 181. This looks similar to the other "cant press escape" issue. See attached.

Same shortcut handling problem.

 

 

The surface inspector, fit textures boxes. The old figures were 001 & 001, I assume mappers can still enter decimals, eg 0.5 etc? See attached.

Yes, this still works, as you probably already found out yourself. What I did to the code is to display two post-comma digits in the two fit entry boxes, this probably makes it more obvious.

 

While holding a selected item in orthoview, you could move/scroll off the edge of the work area, in 201 you can't.

I can do that. I select a brush and drag it around. When the mouse reaches the border of the view it starts scrolling.

 

 

The animation play button dosent change colour when clicked on, for animation on/off etc (it goes red in 181)

Which button are you talking about specifically? The play button was green in 1.8.1 (at all times), and the one in 2.0.0 is gray.
