No luck here, I set a breakpoint to the location in question, but the app behaved by design, exactly the same as in Windows. I wonder if there's a difference when running DR in the newer macOS version (I'm on El Capitan here, I think that's 10.11).

 

Did you do anything in particular before shutting down the application? Switching layouts or creating additional Cam Views or something?

 

At least I can confirm that the crash is occurring very late during shutdown so everything has already been shut down and saved, no data loss is occurring.

Greebo, I need some help obtaining the newest code from your git repository. I try to follow the instructions here: http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=4490#c8999

But when I enter git pull, the following error message appears:

 

remote: Counting objects: 5, done.
remote: Total 5 (delta 4), reused 5 (delta 4), pack-reused 0
Unpacking Objects: 100% (5/5), ready.

   510c6da00..cc51a0158  2.3        -> origin/2.3
Actualizing 929f4307c..2f8a5732e
error: Your local changes in the following files would be overwritten when merging:
    ltmain.sh
Please commit or stash your changes before merging
Canceled
How can I tell git to ignore the changes I made and just merge? Or would it be better to create a new directory and clone again?

You need to clean up the working copy before you pull. It's the autoconf-generated files that have been moved to the ignore list, somehow they are bothering git if they exist locally.

 

Just enter git stash to buffer your changed files to a local commit and pull again. Or clone afresh, it's not that much bandwidth. Afterwards, you'll have to run ./autogen.sh in any case before configure.

  • Im running 10.12, should be close enough to the way 10.11 operates, but Im not a mac expert.

Nope, I can get that error to happen closing the DR with or without a map loaded.

Yeah, hence why i said it was a minor bug. I think DR on the PC did do this in some early versions of 2.x.x.

There's a new pre-release build (pre4) available in the first post, read there for details.

 

I'm aiming for a release upcoming weekend, so please give this a try if you can.

I'm happy to confirm that the crash when importing prefabs is finally gone :)

 

Unfortunately there are a few more things in DR that I'm not happy with:

 

1) Selected models and entities become invisible in the 2D grid. To illustrate this:

 

Here nothing is selected:

AI_unselected.jpg?raw=1

 

 

Here only a entity is selected (and it is invisible in the 2D grid!):

AI_selected.jpg?raw=1

 

 

When entities/models are selected together with a worldspawn brush however they stay visible in the 2D grid

AI_and_worldspawn_selected.jpg?raw=1

 

 

That's a quite old bug (also had this in 2.2. and 2.1) but I was too lazy to find out how to upload images of DR and report it until now (sorry).

2) The readable editor seems broken. At least I can't choose a GUI definition for two-sided books. This is what I did:

 

1. Create Entity -> readables -> atdm:readable_mobile_book01

 

2. Open the readable editor. Give the book an inventory name and an XData name.

 

3 .Click on the button right of the GUI Definitiion field.

 

4. Choose let's say readables -> books -> book_calig_summertime

 

The Layout switches to One-sided and the GUI Definition switches to guis/readables/sheets/sheet_paper_hand_nancy.gui, no matter what I select.

3) The MD5 animation viewer doesn't work as I hoped. Here is what I mean:

 

1. I open the MD5 animation viewer and choose e.g. "tdm_ai_builderguard" from the list. Nothing appears in the 3D view window.

 

2. Only when I click on the "Pause render time" or "Stop render time" button, the model appears.

 

3. When I then choose an animation - let's say "bottle_idle01" again nothing happens, the model won't move/animate.

 

4. However when I then press the "Pause render time" button, the model changes its state (as if it just carried out the animation).

 

Well that is complicated to explain. I hope I expressed myself in an understandable manner...

Hmm.

 

The "Describes available Mouse Commands" window in the lower left appears to be covering some menu options

and there's no way to scroll or navigate to them.

 

(Windows 10 64-bit)

 

Screenshot?

Hm, I don't see that in my Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine.

Confirmed, please open an issue for this. (Nevermind, created it here: http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=4575)

I can see there's weird behaviour. The render time is not displayed correctly either. Please open another issue for this.

Got some old bugs from 2.2.1 that are still present in 2.3.1.pre -

  • DR dosent initially remember location of surface inspector or Arbitrary transform child windows, takes about dozen or so 'open and close' of the application before it remembers.
  • Drag-select while in texture tool window gets stuck on when the cursor dragging the selection box goes outside the texture tool window.
  • The tick selection tickbox in the Layers inspector, dosent disappear when pressed once DR has been open for a while. But colour of button does change and the layer is toggled - only fix is to restart DR.

@Greebo, would you like me to log detailed bug trackers for these..?

DR dosent initially remember location of surface inspector or Arbitrary transform child windows, takes about dozen or so 'open and close' of the application before it remembers.

 

When this happens, I need you to do the following, please: start up and confirm that the dialog is not showing up where it should be. Don't close the application (that would overwrite the user.xml file), but instead go and copy the user.xml in your Roaming\DarkRadiant folder to somewhere safe and show me its contents. Then we can compare the values saved there with the location you expected the dialog to show up.

 

(You can of course check yourself: open the user.xml file and look for the tag, it should look something like this:

 

 

If these values aren't anywhere near the position you want them to show up, then we need to investigate further.

 

Drag-select while in texture tool window gets stuck on when the cursor dragging the selection box goes outside the texture tool window.

 

If this is reproducible (sounds like it is), then please open an issue for it.

 

The tick selection tickbox in the Layers inspector, dosent disappear when pressed once DR has been open for a while. But colour of button does change and the layer is toggled - only fix is to restart DR.

 

This only happens after a session has been going on for long? Care to take a screenshot of the faulty window?

 

Thanks for testing anyhow, this is appreciated.

Ok, thanks. It's unlikely I can fix any of these for the upcoming release, but at least the reports are here now, so chances are higher for them to get fixed in the next version.

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
